Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New is one of the shades added to the general collection for 2014.

It’s a gorgeous polish, but boy was it ever challenging for me to photograph!

While Teal Me Something New appears like it’s a very bright aqua, it’s actually more of a medium true teal, so please don’t get confused by the colour inaccuracy of my photos.

Even though the colour is off, at least you can see how smooth the formula is.

Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New Review

Colour

Funny how the promo picture I received is spot on in terms of colour accuracy, yet every single time I tried to snap photos of Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New, my camera captured it as this bright aqua!

It’s indeed a green-toned medium teal and not aqua!

I loved how saturated the shade was and how it totally popped on the nail with its vibrancy.

Finish

Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New has a creme finish, which allows the colour to shine through without letting a fancy finish distract you from it. Also, because it’s a creme, it’s very easy to remove.

Application & Formula

Can you say smooth like butter? It glided onto my nails without a hitch – smooth and pigmented. I used my usual 2 coats for complete coverage, and I had no application issues worth mentioning. This polish is easy to apply with a no-fuss formula. Love it!

Pros Gorgeous teal (not aqua like in my photos) Smooth, pigmented formula Easy to remove Requires just 2 coats for full opacity (although highly pigmented even after 1 coat)

Cons Hard to photograph (Haha, at least for me it was difficult to capture the true colour on my camera when it was on my nails.)

Final Verdict: 8/10

Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New is a highly pigmented shade with a vibrant look that I loved! The formula is superb, and the finish is simple and beautiful!

Funny how when I took a photo of the bottle for my Instagram, the colour was more accurate than when I photographed it with my camera for my blog! Well, at least I hope that you’ll be able to see the creaminess of the formula from my photos and how smooth and shiny it is. 🙂
