Nicole By OPI Lacquers Review & Giveaway ~ CLOSED


"Nicole is the ultimate trendsetter's lacquer. For the girl who knows hot colors and top styles, Nicole makes sure you're perfectly polished from head to toe"!

I won't harp on how great OPI is, we all know that, or we wouldn't spend so much on the stuff. I've been a fan of OPI for a while now. I really like Nicole By OPI nail lacquers because of the wide variety of colors. They're high quality, smooth and they stay on your nails very well with a good topcoat. I got the chance to review the four colors below from the Nicole By OPI collection.


Sometimes I can be quite the nail polish addict especially in the summer and now with spring coming, there is some new fabulous colors and I want them all! 

 Change The World Lacquer (Normal Lighting)

Change The WorldThis polish is a forward moving magenta which super pretty and one of my favorite colors for a nail polish. It may seem at first like a regular old magenta color but this color actually GLOWS on the nail.

This color looks great against fair to medium skin tones. In just two coats, there's a shine to this color and a little shimmer, but not a crazy amount of shimmer. It applies smoothly, dries quick, and does not chip. Not only that but it doesn't leave all those bubbles that makes your nails look sloppy. It seems less opaque than other OPI pinks I have. But I just adore this color and think it's a must have in your collection. It's definitely a "go to" color if you can't decide. Perfect for all seasons, but mostly spring and summer. This color is just gorgeous! 

 Change The World Lacquer (Daylight)

 A Million Sparkles Lacquer (Normal Lighting)

A Million Sparkles: A Million Sparkles is tons of glitter in a clear base. There is small, round blue glitter, medium round gold glitter and pink bar glitter. Application was actually really good for a glitter. It only took two coats for it to be opaque. 

I like fun colors and being a total girly girl, I love this lacquer because it's funky and of course because it has sparkles! I love sparkles! I used to dread Glitter polish because it used to be a pain to remove but not anymore with this easy how to guide! This is a seriously awesome and unique glitter. I like that it doesn't look messy or goopy which has happened with other glitter polishes I have tried. This is a must have for the glitter fanatic. 


Imagine If Lacquer (Flash)

Imagine If: Let yourself go in the glittery silver. A sheer silver holographic polish in a clear base. Almost too dense to be a topcoat, but sheer enough that it needs at least three coats for opacity.  I still think it looks great with just two coats if you don't mind the sheer look. This would also make a great one coat "topping" for a dark color. It's very subtle and pretty. Perfect if you want your nails to have just a touch a of bling! 

 Imagine If Lacquer (No Flash)

Respect The World: This polish is a rich jaded green, that's totally not jaded. Respect the World is a very pretty aqua, kind of a blue-green leaning towards the blue side. It has a bit of gold shimmer and reminds me of a mermaids tale, the way the colour is reflective. This is a fabulous spring color. I am trying to grow my nails out after 15 years of biting them. I have bumps on some of nails which is so not attractive, LOL so I will post pictures with this color at a later date. 

 I was pleased with these great colors. All the lacquers were easy to apply, went on smoothly, drying time was good and they had very good coverage. The lacquers proved to be virtually chip proof. In the past it wasn't unusual for me to have to touch up my nails every second or third day (as I use a keyboard alot). Now, the color lasts from manicure to manicure. 

One lucky reader is going to win all four of the nail lacquers that I received from Nicole by OPI.  The giveaway is open to Canada Only and ends on 03/12 at 12:01AM EST.
