Wow! The Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection contains 14 (count ’em) nail polishes!
I’m really happy to see that the Modern Family Collection contains a wide variety of colours and finishes. (I whipped up a simple little collage so you could see all the colours together.)
Which stood out to me? Am I Making Myself Claire? (lilac), She’s Lily Something (star glitter), Stand by Your Manny (periwinkle), Alex by the Books (seafoam green), and Candid Cameron (teal)!
I haven’t seen any in person yet, but from online swatches that have been popping up, they look great!
(Hey, interesting how after I’ve been mentioning recently that there aren’t many periwinkle polishes, I’ve noticed that more new collections actually contain a periwinkle! YAYYYY!)
So…do you watch Modern Family? I’ll admit it – I’ve never seen a single episode! Am I the only odd one out?
Although I haven’t been following anything regularly, I’ve been checking out Parks & Recreation, The Soup, The Colbert Report, American Idol, and The Carrie Diaries when I do turn on the TV.
As you can tell, I prefer to watch light-hearted stuff. It distracts from the bad things you hear about in the news like gruesome discoveries of dismembered bodies. *Shivers*
Watching the news makes me feel uncomfortable and sad. Sure, I like to be ‘in the loop’ of the world around me, but to a certain degree. I dislike reports of accidents, deaths, and violence. Sadly, I keep up more with entertainment news than actual news…
I’m also not really into medical dramas or murder mysteries (unless it’s a classic gem like re-runs of Columbo! Love Peter Falk and his series!).
But…back to the polish, right? Which of these colours interest you the most? And, for those of you who watch Modern Family, which is the ‘punniest’ polish name you like?
The Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection contains 14 shades:
- Am I Making Myself Claire?
- I Do De-Claire!
- She’s Lily Something
- A Like-Haley Story…
- My Jay or the Highway!
- Stand by Your Manny
- Alex by the Books
- Haley Good Lookin’…
- Basking in Gloria
- Luke of the Draw
- A Phil’s Paradise
- Candid Cameron
- Back in My Gloria Days…
- What’s the Mitch-uation?

America’s Funniest Family!
Nicole by OPI and Twentieth Century Fox
Consumer Products Announce Collaboration with
Hit ABC Comedy Modern Family
Nicole by OPI, in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products, launches 14 new nail lacquers inspired by ABC’s award-winning comedy, Modern Family. The nail line features shades created to capture the show’s colourful personalities, from a classic taupe named after family patriarch Jay, to a sparkly pink hue fitting for toddler Lily.
“Modern Family is not only one of the funniest shows on television, it features a great ensemble cast of rich characters that inspired a range of shades, from pastel hues like sea foam green and periwinkle to brighter colors of cobalt and red-violet,” remarks Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “From studious Alex to bombshell Gloria, to classic (and neurotic) Claire, to flirty Haley, there are shades to represent each of these uniquely fabulous women – and everyone else in the blended family.
“The Nicole consumer embraces the same spirit of diversity and individuality that’s apparent on the show,” explains Weiss-Fischmann. “The colors inspired by Modern Family offer a perfect way to express that spirit!”
Modern Family is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television and licensed through Fox Consumer Products. Jeffrey Godsick, President of Fox Consumer Products added, “Modern Family is a series that has a massive following. In partnering with Nicole by OPI, we’re not only able to reach our show’s large fan base, but deliver a product that captures the trend-forward elements and unique characteristics of the series.”
The Modern Family Collection includes:
Am I Making Myself Claire?
Make no mistake…I’m liking this lilac.

Hey Maria Emma!
Yes, I need to watch it. So many people say what a great show it is. Feels like I’m the last person who hasn’t seen it.
I agree, you MUST watch Modern Family! For about 3 years I didn’t know what all the hype was about, then once I started watching them in the fall I couldn’t stop and it has become one of my favourite series, it makes me laugh so hard! 😀 And these shades look great, love their names :-))

Hey Stella!
I must make a point to watch it! (I don’t want to be the only person who has yet to see at least one episode of it.) Plus we can all use more laughter. 🙂
I’m soooo excited about Luke of the Draw! I literally have been searching for a gunmetal glitter! Yay!
Hey Leigh!
This is perfect for you, then! Hope you like it if you can track it down. 🙂
I saw Candid Cameron in Target when I was in SoCal. I was really close to buying it, but I saw another one a bit like it that cost 1/3 of the price or smth, so I ended up going with that instead.
Girl’s gotta look out for her money 😉
It looked beautiful, though…

Hey Charlotte!
Oh, yeah, if you can get something similar for a fraction of the price, it’s the smart choice! Gotta save money for more polish, right? 😉
Exactly. And food 😉
Charlotte recently posted: China Glaze Lubu Heels
You mean polish isn’t edible? Haha! (Have you seen that episode of My Strange Addiction? I saw a woman on it who DRANK nail polish! ICKKK! And, being a nailphile, my next thought was, “I hope she’s not drinking hard-to-find, discontinued polishes, too!” :P)
Wow, that’s disgusting. And… Isn’t it kinda poisonous? I don’t think it does anything good for your insides.
Haha, nice thought!
Charlotte recently posted: SinfulColors Gorgeous
Yeah, I think that drinking polish would be very toxic because it’s all chemicals and not made for consumption. I didn’t see the whole thing, so I don’t know how she started doing that. (There’s always a reason, sadly.)
There’ll probably be an edible one some time…
And I’m afraid I think it’s good there’s a reason for people doing that kinda crap. I’d be scared as shit, if it was a probable possibility to just wake up one day and be like “screw cereal, where’s that orange polish I saw two days ago?”
Charlotte recently posted: SinfulColors Gorgeous
If there ever is an edible one, I won’t buy it. That seems so wrong to me. Plus I used to be a nail biter back in elementary school, and I wouldn’t want to fall back into that nasty habit again.
I feel really sad for that woman because she should know it’s unhealthy, but because she continues to do it, there must be a major underlying psychological issue. (They probably talk about it in the episode, but I only saw a short clip, not the entire episode.)
I agree. And this got really slim now, so I won’t write more :p
Charlotte recently posted: SinfulColors Gorgeous
Haha! 😉
I don’t watch the show and I only have one Nicole polish that I was gifted, buuuuuut I think if I see She’s Lily Something….. I just may have to shell out the cash for that one. 😉 Pink stars? Yes please!

Hey Lizzy!
Okay, so finally someone else who hasn’t seen the show. (Yay for not being alone!) 😉 Although, I plan to watch at least one episode. I want to know what all the fuss is about.
I want 3 of them 🙂
Alex by the books reminds me of For Audrey for some reason
Hey Haley!
Which are the 3 you like?
i’m wearing “Candid Cameron” right now!
Hey Ali!
Cool! What do you think about it? Are you happy with the colour pay-off?
TTTheTHe
These are actually pretty colors. I was at CVS the other day and was looking at the Nicole OPI polishes and noticed they had a Modern Family collection.I laughed out loud because it was just strange to me that they would have a polish line.I totally understand the Kardashians but Modern Family? I’ve seen 1 or 2 episodes and it is a funny show.
I know what you mean about the news, its mainly all depressing. I love the Soup! and watching the auditions for American Idol.

Hey Kelly!
Haha, yeah, it’s interesting that they have their own polishes. But, remember when Justin Bieber teamed up with Nicole by OPI? I thought that was hilarious because I couldn’t imagine him wearing his own polishes. Yes, I realize that guys can wear polish (actually, I encourage it and am pro males wearing lacquer), and yes, I realize that his fan base consists of mostly young girls, but still…I don’t think he’s ever worn nail polish, so it seems like just a marketing campaign.
I totally agree that it’s all a marketing campaign, but it is funny to see Justin or Modern Family come out with nail polish. Whatever though, anything for a good bottle of nail polish lol

Heheh, very true. If a great colour comes as a result of these partnerships, it’s a good thing. 🙂
Hi Mary,
I would absolutely recommend Modern Family! It is one of the funniest shows I’m currently following, plus they have really touching moments too. I remember you’ve said you really value family- then this show is definitely worth watching. I guess I should comment on the polish too, haha- I like a couple colours, but no must-haves for me.
Hey Julia!
I promise – I will definitely watch at least one episode of it since so many readers are recommending it. It must be great! 🙂
