Yesterday, I received the largest nail mail ever!
Nicole by OPI’s PR team sent me these 15 Nicole by OPI 2014 nail polishes as well as some new treatments. (Thank you so much, Langton Communications – you’re the best!)
Check out my Instagram account to see my little sneak peeks of the actual bottles in video clips: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Also, I took a collective shot.
I’m really excited about these additions to the Nicole by OPI collection because there’s a great variety.
You have the staple pinks and traditionally feminine shades, glitterbombs, pastels, neutrals, and bold shades!
Which ones are you most curious about? I’ll try to review as many as I can after I wear them as full manicures, so if there are ones you’d like to see first, let me know. (Hehe, it’s gonna take a while since I don’t actually just ‘swatch’ nail polish. I have to wear them as actual manicures – makes me feel better!)
I’m thinking about doing some nail art with these babies. There are lots of great combinations to put together with these shades!
I’ll try to put together a Quick Look post featuring these shades since I think a lot of you would really enjoy it. Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that I’ll be able to get it up next week.
I put together this little collage so you could see all the shades together in a single glance. Maybe this will help you pick your favourites and clearly see how each hue differs.
There are 15 new shades that will be added to the Nicole by OPI collection in 2014:
- Be Awesome
- Sweet Surrender
- Fabulous is My Middle Name
- Always a Flirt!
- Something About Spring
- At Least I Pink So
- I’ll Have the Salmon
- Yoga-then-Yogurt
- That’s Putting it Mild
- Taupe of My Class
- I Shop Mintage
- Teal Me Something New
- Oh That’s Just Grape!
- The Blue is So You!
- Emerald Empowered
Below is the official press release sent to me by PR:
New Year, New Colour!

Which colours stand out to you? If you could create nail art with 3 shades, which ones would you choose? What was the most recent Nicole by OPI nail lacquer you wore or purchased?
Edit: Yay! Nicole by OPI Canada retweeted my blog post!
That blue is so jou is so pretty
Hey Icequeen81!
I agree – and there are also so many shades I’m itching to play around with!
A lot of these look VERY close their new Carrie Underwood colors, like Carnival Cotton Candy vs At Least I Pink So, I’ll Have Salmon vs Sweet daisy, Love My Pups vs Sweet Surrender. How close are they?
Hey Allison!
I’ll need to compare swatches when I get a chance to be sure. May do a quick comparison post or will put it on Instagram sometime.
Thanks:)
You’re welcome. I’ll have to do them in 2014, though, since I’m not home, and things are pretty hectic with Christmas and the ice storm in general. Stay tuned!
I see quite a few of these that I want to get.
Hey Melissa!
There’s such a wide variety of colours, so I feel like there’s a colour that would appeal to everyone.
Hello Mary. I would love to see you swatch The Blue is So You! I can never have enough blues.
Hey Barbara!
Thanks for letting me know which one you’re most interested in. I’ll try to wear that one first since a few readers have actually reached out to me and asked about that shade.
Love Be Awesome color !
Hey Cris!
It’s so interesting and different, isn’t it? I can’t wait to try layering it over another polish to see what the outcome looks like!
Hi Mary
Hey Beth!
What’s on your mind? I wonder if your comment got cut off. Hehe, or did you just want to say hi? HI!
I love the color “Always a Flirt” Is it still around to buy?
