Considering how much I gush about green nail polish on here, I bet that most of you don’t know that I used to be a huge purple fanatic!

Yup, that’s right! When I first started collecting nail polish more seriously in the fall of 2008, I bought purple after purple. Eventually, I hit a glass ceiling and decided to try something new. That’s when I branched out into greens, which was exciting for me.

Even though it wasn’t that long ago, greens weren’t as popular back then as they are today. (I think this really speaks volumes about women expressing themselves in novel, untraditional ways.)

When I wore Nicole by OPI Purple Yourself Together (a Shoppers Drug Mart exclusive colour), my heart raced like Usain Bolt, and I was taken right back to the early days when my lacquer addiction just began! 😀 Great nostalgia!

Who else is so ready for winter to be over?

Although the weather has been unusually mild with hardly any snow in Canada, I’m still looking forward to the spring and summer.

And what better way to get a taste of the warm-weather spirit than by wearing a light-hearted polish?

Nicole by OPI Great Minds Pink Alike is a pink polish that I can get down with because it’s a coral pink that just makes you happy looking at it.

For me, corals bring to mind fruity cocktails, bikinis, and the giddy feeling you get when the sun’s beating down. How can you be in a bad mood with this on your nails? It’s colour therapy in a bottle!

Nicole by OPI Sealed with a Kris is another colour in the Kardashian Kolors Collection that I’d like to show you.

This is a more traditional medium red that’s very easy to wear. If you’re a bit shy and don’t want to wear a bright red that screams, “I’m here! Notice me!”, this is a good (and safe) choice.

Hehe, but as you know, I’m pretty fearless when it comes to wearing nail polish. I’ll try pretty much any colour, and the more vibrant and loud it is, the happier I am. (Yet neutrals and soft shades tend to intimidate me…but I still try them.)

Sealed with a Kris doesn’t reinvent the colour wheel, but it’s a good standard classic red that I feel would be easy for people of different skin tones to pull off. It’s not flashy, and it’s not vampy. If you don’t already have a red in your collection, this is a nice one to have.

Also, some people have been having a bit of trouble locating the Kardashian Kolors Collection. I’ve asked PR and was told that this collection should already be available. It may just take some time for certain stores to get all the colours, though. Continue reading →
