Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up

Nicole by OPI All Kendall-ed Up is a nice bright pink creme with a blue-tone. It's a very pretty pink creme, nothing spectacular, but it's a color everyone should have in their stash. It's great for spring or summer, and great for pedicures.  I really hate the Kardashians, but I love all of the polishes I've tried in the Kardashian Kolors Collection so far. 

Pinks like this are colors I wear all the time. I don't always photograph them, but my go-to colors are usually pink or red. 

Please excuse the fuzz ball on my middle finger. My top coat was contaminated and I didn't realize until it was too late!

Pretty shiny pink!

Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles

A Million Sparkles is a total glitterbomb. It has a clear base and a variety of glitter. There are small blue hexagon glitter, small blue bar glitter, larger pink bar glitter (2x the size of the blue bars), and large yellow-gold hexagon glitter. 

The color is predominantly aqua blue, but with the glitter all different sizes and shapes it's truly amazing and totally unique. I used three coats to reach opacity, but the polish level in my bottle dropped dramatically for just one mani. 

The formula was a bit clumpy and difficult to work with and once dry it ate top-coat like only bar-glitter based glitters seem to! (I had the same problem with OPI Save Me!)

... click it.. you know you want to see all of those glitter particles...

Quick Swatch! Nicole by OPI One Big Happy Fame-ily

I was looking for a good spring color today and I picked up One Big Happy Fame-ily, a light lavender purple shimmer.

One Big Happy Fame-ily is from Nicole by OPI's lacquers inspired by the Kardashians, and is part of a collection called TV Ready Color available exclusively from CVS pharmacy.

This one applied nicely and was opaque with three coats. It is simple and pretty in both sun and shade.

(Disclaimer, this is another fast swatch without a chance for decent cleanup. I apologize!)

Finally back!

I can't believe I've gone so long without posting! Luckily I have still been taken plenty of pictures and it is my spring break so I'll have a chance to catch up.

First off, my NOTD.

This is Nicole by OPI's Kendall on the Katwalk from the Kardashian Kolors colection (obnoxious name, I know). It's a blue tinted jelly base with blue, purple, and green glitter. The blue glitter is dominant, with about 25-30% purple glitter and 5% green glitter.

This is base coat, 3 coats of Kendall on the Katwalk, and 3 layers of top coat.

It dries like sandpaper and isn't nearly as beautiful until you smooth it out with top coat.

In the sunlight the glitter sparkles so much and reminds me of my OPI DS Temptation. It is definitely one of those colors where I find myself staring at my nails! Overall this is a great polish, worth buying if the name doesn't annoy you ;). The three coats dried very quickly, with only top coat slowing me down. If you can stand bumpy polish you could probably get away with just one coat of top coat. I don't recommend going without top coat because it takes away so much of the sparkle. I tried to save a finger without topcoat for pictures when the sun came out but I didn't have enough patience!

Old Swatches!

Most of these are old, quick, and messy so bear with me.

China Glaze Ruby Pumps

Ruby Pumps again. This one just isn't the same in photos as it is in real life. Deep red jelly, intense red sparkles suspended in the jelly. Love at first brushstroke.

OPI DS Opulence (in the shade). This one has a very subtle holo in direct sunshine, but most of the time it's pretty subtle. Opulence is the perfect holo for those with conservative jobs.

Lastly, my NOTD. OPI Servin' Up Sparkle layered over OPI Crown Me Already!

I can't come close to describing how gorgeous this is in person. The layer upon layer of glitter of Crown Me Already! combined with the colorful holographic glitter of Servin' Up Sparkle. Little disco balls on my fingernails!
