Nicole by O.P.I Spring 2012 Launches and Walmart Exclusives

Good morning loves!

  Today I have quite a few Nicole by O.P.I Swatches. I've decided to group these releases into one post and I will let you know what color belong to which collection as I go on through the post. Like I said the other day, I am really loving Nicole by O.P.I as of late. While the bottle and I are barely on speaking terms the colors they keep coming out with are just so much fun.

 To see swatches of these colors just keep reading after the jump :D!

These first four colors are an extension to the Full Nicole by O.P.I line-up. Meaning, you should be able to find these anywhere NOPI is sold. 

Nicole by O.P.I A Million Sparkles

A Million Sparkles is mae up of a "base" of micro Blue bar glitters and small round glitter. In that base there is a sprinkling of Light Gold, small Hex glitters as well and chunky and short Pinky-Red bar glitter. All these different glitters are suspended in a clear base so this will be great for layering. For this swatch I layered it over NOPI A Lit-Teal bit of Love. I don't think this glitter could reach opacity on its own but it looks amazing layered. I did Two coats of A Million Sparkles over my Blue shimmery base.

Nicole by O.P.I A Lit-Teal Bit of Love

The name on this one doesn't make much sense to me because there is nothing Teal about this Royal Blue shimmering metallic. It is similar to O.P.I Swimsuit...Nailed It but this is just a little lighter and brighter. Great Two coat formula and double up on the base coat!

Nicole by O.P.I Shoot for the Maroon

This pretty Maroon shimmer is a spectacular shade. It has a lot of micro shimmer in Golden-Green tones that add a lot of depth to the Maroon-y shimmery base. I really enjoy shades like this one. Two effortless coats.

Nicole by O.P.I Vio-let's Talk about Red

Hello beautiful jewel toned Magenta! This shimmery baby is just amazing and that is all there is to it. This color has a great formula and I love the flashes of Purple in the deep and saturated Magenta base. Two effortless coats.

Nicole by O.P.I Best Pink Ever

This shade is a little weird and I don't know if it was my bottle. All of the Gold metallic pigment kept settling out in the bottom VERY quickly. When shaken this appears to be a Pink metallic with strong Gold undertones. I gave up with the shaking because it would just not stay blended. This color went on very sheer and I did Three coats to reach a shade I liked. I still wasn't too crazy about it though because it looks like something is off in this color.

Nicole by O.P.I The Gold Shoulder

Again we have some weirdness goin on with this shade. All my Gold pigment kept sinking to the bottom so I ended up with a very Silvery shade of Gold. This is not like your typical dense foils, this is more of a Shimmer really. I did Three coats of The Gold Shoulder. 

Nicole by O.P.I Fabulous is my Middle Name

This pretty is a micro Silver glitter base with a thorough sprinkling of Blue and Red mini bar glitters. really interesting mix of shapes and colors mixed in a clear base. It looks very textured and amazing when layered. I didn't even try to wear this one on it's own because it is not dense enough to be opaque alone. I did one coat of Glitter over Vio-let's Talk about Red.

I really like these. The issue I have with this collection is the a lot of the colors are a little reminiscent of O.P.I's Miss Universe Collection, or colors that NOPI had released not long ago.... I am beyond loving the Two glitters because they are so much fun and they each have a little something special going on.
