ALL KENDALL - ED

i love opi nail polish. one day i was in farmer first time i show nicole by opi range.and i thought hammmm i should try this one to. i get the all kendall ed nail polish which bright pink colour. this is pretty nice colour you can wear anytime and anywhere that is my personal opinion.

i love funky bottle shape. nail polish has very good polish brush which smooth and cover very well my nail properly. if i am talking about formula it is same like original opi nail polish. you have to apply two or three coats to cover nail properly. this nail polish is four to five days long last on my hand without top coat. i did some household work however it is there and then after start little bit chip.so nail polish is very long last. bit pricey but worth it....i always get opi nail polish when they are on sale. i would definitely repurchase because i love opi

Tips: you top coat for long last.

Follow Me On Glitter

I was gifted a shade from the Kardashian collection (although I'm not a fan of them, I can never get enough black nail polishes!), and was excited to try my first Nicole by OPI, especially as I do love OPI.

In the bottle this is black, and full of silver and other glitters, it looks like a very dark colour and glitterbomb. However, I was really disappointed, there was no colour, and the glitter was very hard and didn't apply well on my nails. Glitter can be tough to remove, and this was one of the worst I've encountered, even making my nails a bit yellowy.

My review is based only on this shade, and I would try another Nicole polish in future, just not such a glittery one.

Tips: I ended up using mine on some craft projects, so if you do try it and can't get any wear from it, you could try it for that. These polishes tend to pop up on cheap makeup sales, so don't pay full price! Also, this colour looks best applied over a solid coat of black (or a colour) rather than on its own

Long lasting and great formula

I am a big fan of the original opi nail polishes and these are pretty good too. I have a few of these polishes and have found they last just as long as the normal opi polishes. I actually don't see much of a difference from the normal opi polishes, apart from the bottle itself. I find that this nail polish lasts about 5-7 days when using a top and base coat.

The only difference I found was that with one of my polishes, the formula is quite thin and I needed to apply several layers. But maybe that was just a one off batch or it's just that particular colour. Apart from this one polish that is quite sheer, the other colours are opaque and the colour on your nail is pretty similar to the colour you see in the bottle.

The formula is smooth and easy to apply to your nails with no streaking. The polish is thick enough to cover your whole nail with an even surface, but thin enough so that it doesn't go tacky. Tunis nail polish dries pretty quick too. The brush is a good size and I apply the polish with three strokes.

I was surprised to find this polish sold at countdown and it was on sale too. I think I paid $10 which is a really good price for the quality of the product. Being sold at countdown market readily available too.

Overall I really like this polish, it lasts a decent amount of time before chipping and is easy to apply. I would purchase this polish again.

Fab

I own one of these nail polishes called Daffy Dill which is an awesome lime green. I picked it up at Countdown for $14 mainly just because the colour stood out to me so much.

I did not think that it would be as good as the normal OPI polishes, because of the price difference but I was pleasantly surprised! It has turned out to me my favourite in my collection (which includes OPI, Sally Hansen, Essie, Orly etc.) and I use it on my fingernails heaps!

I need to apply at least 2 coats and I usually use a top coat as well, and it lasts usually about 3-4 days without any chipping.

I find that the rather large brush makes application pretty easy and neat, and I like the shape and look of the bottle.

The colour iI have is really vibrant and gorgeous and I can't wait to add more to my collection!

Nicole O.P.I

Nicole O.P.I is an off shoot from O.P.I. What I like about Nicole is that you can get a various amount of colours in their range. I've got a couple of Kardashian Kolours from this range. They are "Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam" and "Listen to your Momager". Khloes colour is a dark Teal and Kris's colour is a Cobalt blue.

I love the style of this bottle. It reminds me of a glass tear drop. The bottle is a slanted oval shaped. The lid has a N for Nicole ingrained in it. This brush is a normal sized brush.

Khloes colour is thick in colour and rich. First coat is opaque. Second coat is surprisingly well covered. If you wanted to have a third coat I think it would be ok but two feels like enough.

Kris's colour on the hand is very opaque in colouring. I think with this colour you would at least need 4-5 coats to get a vibrant colour. That also means waiting a good five minutes in between coats unless u have a nail lamp to cut down on time.

My results from using Nicole is bright clear colour. If applied correctly it will remain on your nails. Mine last me 3-4 days. I love that it's a 15 ml bottle. You get alot of product for your money. I was lucky to get this af a bargain price from The Warehouse for $3.50. I've enjoyed trying Nicole.

Quality and affordability!

I was so excited to find this in my local Countdown! I couldn't believe that for $15 it was OPI branded and had such a gorgeous range of colors.

Coverage for the lighter colors is not too fantastic, but it dries well and the top coat that they sell (3 in 1) is AMAZING! I have dry nails in 30 seconds and it really leaves them shining!

I love that I can sneak these into my fortnightly food shop! =D

Tips: Use their base coat (3 in 1)! It is amazing!

Long Lasting and Good Colour Pay-off

I own the colours Poised in Turquoise, It's All About the Glam, Tip of the Iceberg and Hard Kourt-Fashionista. Not only are the names super cute but so are the colours. The colour range is stunning and though $21 for a 15mL bottle of nail varnish seems expensive (it really is), I believe it's (kinda) worth it! The first shade I mentioned is indeed a gorgeous turquoise (hence the name) with a beautiful silky, mermaid-like shimmer. The second is your bog-standard white nail polish BUT glammed up with a hint of shimmer. The third you can call a disco ball on your nails! Beautiful silver glitter - packed to the full. My favourite out of the ones I have has got to be Hard-Kourt Fashionista. It is a beautiful, dark maroon with a hint of red and purple. I am one for vampy colours and this is just that. Two swipes of this on your nails will give you the most opaque effect and is guaranteed to last at least the week! If it doesn't chip easy then I'm all for it. Looove this and I don't want it to run out! P.S. Drys quickly too :)

Tips: Apply two coats for optimum opacity.

Fast drying and stunning colour range

I have the shades My Empire...My Rules, Your Lips Are Dripping Honey, I'm A Pool For Love, Blue-Berry Sweet On You, Hello World, Party Bus, Change the World, Find Your Passion and Please Red-Cycle. I love the quality of the polishes, they dry really quickly and I can get away with one coat because it certainly doesn't chip easily and the colour payoff is amazing. I'm really impressed with the quality, and it's cheaper than regular OPI, so I will definitely repurchase polishes in the Nicole range. The range also has so many really pretty colours, I'm desperate to try them all. The only thing I don't like is the weird shape of the bottles. My Empire...My Rules is a lovely taupe shade, I normally hate taupe but the nail polish looks lovely on my skin tone and I have had heaps of compliments when I have worn it. Your Lips Are Dripping Honey is a stunning glitter in the bottle but being a glitter polish it looks lacklustre by itself and needs to be layered over nail polish. It looks simply stunning layered over black nail polish but layered over any other shade it looks a bit blah. I'm a Pool For Love is a dark purple shimmer that leans towards blue black when applied but it is very stunning as it looks like a whole new nail polish in differing levels of light, in sunlight its a dazzling purple shimmer whereas in artificial light it appears to be black. Blue-berry Sweet on You is from the Gumdrops collection. It's a stunning blue-purple shimmer that dries matte. It does tend to take longer to dry though than other Nicole by OPI polishes. Hello World is a fiery orange red, however its application is surprisingly sheer and it needs several coats to get to full opacity. Party Bus is a stunning silver holographic glitter polish with fine glitter and large flower shaped glitter pieces. The glitter catches the light beautifully on the nail, and it dries very quickly for a glitter. However, it is very difficult to get any of the larger flower glitter onto the nail as this sinks into the bottom. Hello World is a pinky red colour with a subtle shimmer throughout. With one coat, this becomes fully opaque and it dries super quick and doesn't chip easily. A winner in my book. Find Your Passion is a summery coral pink. It needs 3 coats to get to full opacity but dries super quick so it's not a problem. Please Red-Cycle is a glossy pinky-red. It builds to full opacity in just one coat and dries speedily.

Disappointment

I have this in two shades Shoot for the Maroon which is a sparkly maroon color and Di-Vine is Divine which is just a plain maroon color. I received these from a beauty bundle online and was really excited to get these as I love every OPI nail polish I have used. I was really disappointed with this product it was easy to apply and dried quickly. However, this nail polish either chipped away or just slipped off my nails. I wouldn't repurchase these nail polishes as I found they were horrible and not worth the money.

GREAT PRODUCT GREAT VALUE

I got a few of these as a little gift from my sister, and the shape of the bottle is very original, slight slanted, and it looks like a little show to me !!

I love the colours, wow, they honestly are on point ! I only the the purple (prized possesion purple), the sparkly glitter (make U smile) and the light blue (baby blue)

The brush is perfect for me, it isn't to small so you have to stripe your nail heaps of times, and not too big to get it messy, you only have to do a few stripes.

The drying process will 'wow' it dries faster than you think, and for that price, and the ability to dry so fast is just wow.

I normally do two coats, and they do not chip off, and they look even better with two coats.

These are way cheaper than the normal OPI, and I think they are better. Great value for money

Tips: two coats for a perfect finish
