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?
