Nicole by OPI Three Walmart Exclusives

Posted by Unknown on Monday, May 14, 2012

Today I have three Walmart Exclusives from Nicole by OPI to share with you guys. Nicole by OPI has came out with a lot of new colors for Spring, I wonder if that will be the same for Summer!


The Gold Shoulder is a shimmery silver/gold. Not quite silver and not quite gold. 2 coats

Best Pink Ever is a fuchsia shimmer. 2 coats. I should've done 3 coats, since there my nails are still visible.

 Fabulous is My Middle Name is a pink, gold, blue, silver mixture of bar glitter and microglitter. This was 4 coats. Still not full coverage. This is probably best as a top coat.

Surely these colors are not interesting at all. But I do like the bar glitters. I'm starting to see a lot more of those in recent collections, and I'm very happy about that. I really like bar glitters! The formula for these were pretty good, applied with no issues.

Well that's all I have for today, what do you guys think of this collection?

Nicole by OPI Target Exclusive Spring Shades

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, May 10, 2012

Hi everyone. Today I have four polishes from the Nicole by OPI Target Exclusive Spring shades to share with you guys. I've been seeing a lot of cute Spring shades lately, and I'm glad that not all of them are pastels. It's good to see some dark shades in Spring too!

Great Minds Pink Alike is a coral pink with pink shimmer. 2 coats

Look at Me, Look at Me is a mix of silver, purple, and red micro glitters. It gives off a metallic like finish that's very shiny. It's not gritty either for so much glitters. 2 coats

 That's Totally Red-ical is a bright red creme. 2 coats

Purple Yourself Together is a medium purple shimmer with gold shimmers. 2 coats. But probably could've used a 3rd coat for more color.

So as you all already know, Nicole by OPI formula's are excellent. It's not watery or too gooey. It applies flawlessly with no problems whatsoever. I'm not very excited about the colors though. But Look at Me, Look at Me seems like a very nice glitter to wear, and then Purple Yourself Together comes in second place for me. Overall, I find this collection OK. Nothing to really complain about.

What do you guys think of this collection?

Nicole by OPI Four 2012 New Shades

Posted by Unknown on Sunday, May 6, 2012

Happy Sunday!

Today I have more Nicole by OPI polishes to share. There's four additional new shades added to their 2012 collection. And the colors are quite pretty, especially the glitter! Let's have a look.

A Lit-Teal Bit of Love is a metallic blue. 2 coats. I didn't expect this one to have such a metallic like finish! A surprise right there.

A Million Sparkles contains mostly blue round glitters with some gold round glitters and pink bar glitters. This took 3 coats for full coverage. What an interesting combo!

Shoot for the Maroon is a burgundy shimmer. 2 coats. I guess you can call it maroon.

Vio-let's Talk About Red is a fuchsia shimmer with flashes of purple. 2 coats. Very cute name that suits the polish, except this is not really red.

Formula for these were excellent as usual. I never really had complaints about Nicole by OPI polishes formula. They all applied very nicely. My favorite is A Million Sparkles (no surprise there) and A Lit-Teal of Love only because it surprised me with the metallic finish! The other two colors weren't really unique and easily dupeable so I didn't really enjoy them.

What do you guys think of this collection?

Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor CVS Exclusives

Posted by Unknown on Friday, May 4, 2012

Hello all! Today I have more Kardashian Kolor's to share with you guys. These are CVS exclusives. Yes I know we are all sick and tired of hearing Kardashians all over the place, but what can we do? Seems like the star news are obsessed with them. But, since this is nail polish, I'll give them a break lol

Smile for the Glam-era is a dark plum with gold shimmers. 2 coats

Back to Reality...TV is a gorgeous medium purple with flashes of pink. 2 coats

One Big Happy Fame-ily is a light purple with silver flecks. 2 coats

Our Fuchsia's Lookin' Bright is a fuchsia creme. 2 coats

Ladies in the Limelight is a bright yellow creme. 2 coats. Probably my favorite of the bunch.

Paparazzi Don't Preach is a peach creme. 2 coats

Strike a Pose is a super bright red orange creme. 2 coats.

Not many unique colors from this collection, but my favorite is Ladies in the Limelight and One Big Happy Fame-ily. Those two happens to be the most unique of the bunch. Other than decent colors, the formula for these were excellent. It wasn't streaky, especially the light colors. It all applied very smoothly and mostly needed 2 coats for opacity.

These should be available at most CVS stores. I haven't seen it around yet, but I'm sure it was sold out by the time I actually went to look. What do you guys think of this collection?

Nicole by OPI Four New Textures

Posted by Unknown on Friday, March 30, 2012

Today I have four new Texture polishes from Nicole by OPI to share with you guys. Textures are just like shatter polishes from OPI. When I saw the promo pictures for these I was really excited to see the glitter textures, as I am very curious in how the glitter crackle polishes will work. Well they didn't work much to my favor. Let's have a look.


Amethyst Texture is a purple glitter shatter. I did this over white hoping the purple glitters will show more, but it seems to me that the glitter are not dense enough, so the shatters look a bit sloppy.


Aquamarine Texture is a aqua blue glitter shatter. I did this over black since Amethyst Texture didn't look that great over white. The shatter is extremely hard to see. Once again I wish the glitters were more dense.


Quartz Texture is a metallic lilac shatter. I did it over black, and apparently my pointer and ring finger didn't shatter as much as the ring and the pinky. I think it was because I didn't wait for the polish to dry first.


Opal Texture is an iridescent opal shatter. I did it over black, and the opal turns out to be purple. Seems fun to play around with. But once again it doesn't look dense enough. At this point I was a little frustrated with the texture polishes so I also didn't wait long enough for the base polish to dry.

I did swatches on a nail wheel and they actually looked better on the nail wheel than it did on my own nails. Especially Opal Texture


Left to Right: Aquamarine Texture, Amethyst Texture, Quartz Texture, and Opal Texture.

I wasn't pleased with this collection. In the bottle they look amazing, but on the nail not really. Glitter shatters seems hard to master since glitters are not dense. Maybe these need to be extremely thick for the glitters to look good. I even tried doing two coats of each but it didn't even shatter, and just covered the entire nail. The only one I did like was Opal Texture. It will probably look good over white, and a dark purple polish.

Well that's all I have for today. What do you guys think of this collection? Will you buy it?

Nicole by OPI Wel-Kim to My World Collection

Posted by Unknown on Monday, March 26, 2012

Hey everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've posted. But for those who liked my FaceBook page knows that I broke my nail really bad and wasn't able to swatch for a bit. Well it grew out a little enough to do some watches, but it's still a little ugly looking so I hope you guys don't mind!

So today I have Nicole by OPI's Wel-Kim to My World Collection to share. It's part of the Kardashian Kolors. This collection consists of six new colors; one of them is a glitter. Let's have a look.


Others Pale by Kim-parison is a very pale pink creme. 3 coats


Kim Konfidential is a peachy nude creme. 3 coats. This color nude didn't really suit my skin tone.


Nothing Kim-pares to Blue is a periwinkle blue with hints of silver shimmer. 3 coats


Up & Kim-ing Pink is a bubble gum pink creme. 2 coats. Very similar to OPI's Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj collection.


Here Kim's the Sun over black. It's a mixture of gold, blue, green glitters in a clear base.


Lights, Kim-era Action! is a pearl finish with green and pink flashes. Super gorgeous. 3 coats. I will be playing around with this one a lot, layering it over other colors to see the outcome!

The color for this collection were interesting. The only one not in my favor was Kim Konfidential, but that's only because that nude didn't suit my skin tone. Other than that I enjoyed all the other colors. Lights, Kim-era Action! happens to my favorite. I just love the flash of green in it. Here Kim's the Sun is also a nice glitter to layer over with.

The formula were good. They weren't thick or thin, and applied very smoothly. The only one I had trouble with was Others Pale by Kim-Parison. It didn't apply evenly, but after the third coat it was pretty smooth. Overall, I am satisfied with this collection. These are available at various retailers including CVS, Ulta, and Sears for $7.99 per bottle.

What do you guys think of this collection? Are we sick and tired of hearing Kim Kardashian all over the place? lol

Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber One Less Lonely Girl Collection

Posted by Unknown on Monday, January 16, 2012

Hi everyone! Today I have Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber's One Less Lonely Girl Collection to share with you guys. I believe this collection came out last Spring, but I honestly do not remember. I had this collection for awhile but never touched it. I only bought it because there were some interesting colors and it was a flash sale. I am not really a huge fan of Justin Bieber (please do not attack me!) I just thought he's overrated, and once he hits puberty (which he is right now) his voice will change, and he'll just be like another Jesse McCartney =X Nevertheless, it's still nail polish, so I still bought them!


Redy to Runaway Love? is a bright red creme. 2 coats


I'm a Belieber is a gorgeous light purple creme. 2 coats


"Baby" Blue is a baby blue creme, well I guess the name suits it right. I think baby is quoted because of his song. 2 coats


My Lifesaver is a mint green creme. 2 coats


Make U Smile is a mix of silver glitters, and hex glitters in a clear base. Here is seen 1 coat over My Lifesaver.


One Less Lonely Glitter is a mix of purple micro glitters, and slightly bigger round glitters. A bit sheer, this was 3 coats.


Me + Blue is a blue shimmer with silver flecks on it. 2 coats.


Prized Possession Purple is a royal purple with a slight pearl finish. 2 coats.


Give Me the 1st Dance is metallic silver with foil like finish. 2 coats


OMB! is a red shimmer with glass flecks. 2 coats


I've Got Bieber Fever is a dark purple with slight shimmers. 2 coats


Step 2 the Beat of My <3 is a holo glitters with chunky purple holo hearts in a clear base. Here seen 1 coat over I've Got Bieber Fever. The hearts were pretty hard to pick up, had to use a toothpick.


Not a Gold Bigger is a gorgeous gold shimmer with a slight metallic look to it. 2 coats.


One Time Lime is a lime green creme. 2 coats

Whew, that's a lot of polishes in one collection. The formula for these were excellent. They all applied evenly with no problems at all. I had a few favorites in this collection. And it's too much to name. But there wasn't really any polishes I didn't like, so I was kind of glad I got this collection.

Well that's all I have for today, what do you guys think of this collection?

Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection Swatches & Review

Posted by Unknown on Monday, November 28, 2011

Happy Monday! Today I have Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection to share. This collection consists of 14 polishes with a mix of glitters, shimmers, and cremes!


Rainbow in the S-Kylie is a rainbow mix of big hex glitters and small glitters in a clear base. This was 3 coats. It's pretty much a dupe to Rainbow Connection.


Disco Dolls is a gold glitter mixed with multicolored glitters. 3 coats. Very interesting, I like!


Kendall on the Katwalk is a blue silver glitter with a sheer blue base. 2 coats


Wear Something Spar-Kylie is a pink and silver glitter with a sheer jelly like pink base. 3 coats.


Follow Me on Glitter is a charcoal silver glitter mixed with multicolored glitters. 3 coats. The multicolor glitters are not as visible here as Disco Dolls.


It's All About the Glame is a pearly white creme with hints of silver shimmer. 3 coats. I like this one because it looks pretty elegant.


Kim-pletely in Love is a baby pink creme with hints of white-ish silver shimmer. 3 coats


Listen to Your Momager is a royal blue shimmer. 2 coats


Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi is a orange red creme. 2 coats.


Sealed with a Kris is a dark brick red creme. 2 coats.


Hard Kourt Fashionita is a dark brown creme. 2 coats.


My Empire..My Rules is a light tan brown gray creme. 2 coats


All Kendall-ed Up is a bright barbie pink creme. 2 coats


Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam is a dark teal creme. 2 coats.

The formula for these were great, they all applied smoothly and even with no complaints. The cremes were pretty opaque with just two coats. The glitters weren't hard to work with. As for the colors, there are some hits and misses. Some are easily dupeable and some are just plain boring. But I did have a few favorites, such as Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, Disco Dolls, and It's All About the Glam. Overall, the collection is not bad. The only thing I didn't like were the names, no offense, but they were a bit...corny. But sometimes, it's mostly the color that counts! :D

What do you guys think of this collection? Which are your favorites?
