Although Nicole by OPI Spring Break looked nice on its own, I couldn’t help but put one coat of Nicole by OPI Sweet Dreams on top.
Sweet Dreams is also part of the Selena Gomez Collection due out January 2013.
Truth be told, ever since I laid eyes on the collection, I’ve been itching to use the glitter polishes (well, after the yellow, of course).
So is this a glitter nail polish that I think you need to rush out to buy? Let me tell you a little more about what I think of it.
Hope you had a wonderful Hallowe’en last night! (What did you wear on your nails for fright night?)
Today I have another shade from the upcoming Selena Gomez Collection that’ll be in stores January 2013 – Nicole by OPI Spring Break!
It’s hard for me to pull off pink polishes…when they’re light shades. When they’re saturated like Spring Break, they’re easy to wear. It’s something to do with the contrast against my skin tone.
Okay, I don’t really know much about Selena Gomez, so I have no point of reference to use in terms of her music.
Does she have a song about spring break? Otherwise, it’s a peculiar name for a polish that’s coming out in January. Hehe, it’s like a tease!
Nicole by OPI Selena is the second shade that I wore from the Selena Gomez Collection that’ll be in stores January 2013.
Pale pink nail polish usually is difficult for me to sport because a lot of times it makes my fingers look dirty, or there isn’t enough contrast between the colour of my skin and the lacquer.
But Nicole by OPI Selena had a tiny bit of peach in it, so I gave it a shot. 🙂
Edit: I totally forgot that I had photos of my manicure in the sunlight. I’ve updated the post to include those pictures.
Nicole by OPI Hit the Lights from the upcoming Selena Gomez Collection due out in January 2013 is the first colour that caught my eye. Naturally, that meant I had to wear it first!
Yellows are notorious for being difficult. They’re usually streaky. So I was curious if this would be a miraculous one-coater or a dream to apply.
Even though green is my ‘comfort-polish’ colour to sport, I really like yellow, even though finding a flattering one can be tricky.
If it’s too pale or too orange, it makes my fingers look sickly or like I have jaundice. The easiest yellows for me to wear are neons, but that’s because neons look good on everyone.
Nicole by OPI Kardashing through the Snow is the 2nd of 3 Kardashian Kolor Holiday polishes I have to share with you.
When I first laid eyes on it, I knew that it would be fun to use for layering. (However, in case you actually want to wear it solo, I’ve included some photos of it at 1, 2, and 3 coats to give you a better idea.)
This is a fun glitter polish that puts some pizzazz in any manicure. So it’s perfect if you have an old manicure that you want to refresh after a few days.
Nicole by OPI Deck the Dolls hails from the Kardashian Kolor Holiday Collection, and it’s one of those lit-from-within teal nail polishes.
I think that everyone who’s into lacquer ought to own a shade like this because it’s so universally flattering, and it has an intensity that’s dramatic without being gaudy.
It’s bold without being bright or vampy. It walks the tightrope like a pro and delivers saturated colour without breaking a sweat.
Allow me to share more of my thoughts on this lacquer with you and show you more photos!
I’m really excited to be able to bring you an early look at the upcoming Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez Collection!
It’s due out in stores January 2013, but, after I met and had dinner with Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, the Executive VP and Artistic Director of OPI and Nicole by OPI, the awesome PR ladies included the entire collection in my ‘swag bag’!
Haha, it’s good that Selena Gomez got her own line of polishes. After all, Justin Bieber has his own Nicole by OPI nail polishes!
So, instead of showing you the usual promo pictures, I actually can show you photos I took of the actual bottles. (I’ll also include the official press release.)
You may or may not know, but I don’t actually ‘swatch’ polishes. I wear the colours as full manicures for at least a day and often longer. I only use the term ‘swatch’ because it’s the familiar lingo.
And I prefer to showcase each shade in its own blog post so that I can go into a lot of detail. If you’re looking for a single blog post with all the shades at a glance, other bloggers do an incredible job of that! It’s just not my style.
However, because PR was thoughtful enough to include some nail ‘wheels’ that were painted with the polish already, I took photos of them (with my camera’s flash) to give you a better idea of what it looks like on a nail. (Stay tuned for my future review posts where I’ll be wearing each colour and showing you photos of my manicures in various lighting.) 🙂
