Nicole by OPI Gumdrops is a new collection including six textured shades.

This limited edition collection features a shimmery sugar-like texture, glittery bits, and a matte finish. Some have more obvious glitter in them, making them stand out. Some have more of that fine sugar or sand like appearance.

The formula was pretty good for all of these. All of these covered nicely with just two coats. They dry quicker than a normal polish and do feel a bit gritty to the touch, as textured polishes will. If you want to keep the matte effect, no top coat!

Nicole by OPI is launching four new shades for 2013 this month and I’ve got the details and pics!

Two of these are kind of classic pink and red shades and two are deep shimmery vampy shades. Really nice formula with all four of these. All were very saturated with just two coats. Yahoo!

Nicole by OPI and Twentieth Century Fox recently collaborated to make the Modern Family collection, based on the hit ABC TV show. A show I’ve been watching since it started in fact!

This collection features fourteen new shades that run the gamut from cremes to glitters, from beige to blurple. All of them are named after characters on the show as well.

For most of these I had to use three coats to get the desired saturation. A couple were two coaters though. Quite a few had some streaking issues, mentioned below.

Nicole by OPI has five new Target Exclusives out for this fall. In trendy fall shades of purple, green, mauve, blue and gold, these shades are all duochromes and either metallic or glittery.

This might be one of the best Nicole by OPI collections I have seen in awhile. All five of these are really nice colors and they had a good formula. The duochrome effect in some of them does look stonger in the bottle than on the nail, but regardless I liked all the shades. And I even REALLY liked some of the glitters, which I am not normally a huge fan of.
