Best Nail Polish I Have Ever Tried!

Yes, what I wrote in the heading is 100% absolutely, positively true. No lies.

I was lucky enough to win one of the Carrie Underwood polishes in the shade Southern Charm off of the Nicole by OPI Facebook page a month or so ago.

Firstly, the packaging - yes, it's a little weird, but upon further inspection I realized that it was like the Rihanna perfume bottles, supposed to be a heel! How cute? It's not harder to manage, even though it looks a little weird. The brush is big enough to cover your nail with one or two swipes, which I love - it's not too thin and not too thick either.

The formula, I have never had a nail polish which had this wonder-like formula like this one. It's totally manageable, it dries super fast, it leaves absolutely NO streaks on your nails, even if you just apply one coat.

The polish lasts a week + on your nails, and it's super easy to remove. I absolutely adore my polish - and if it weren't for them being exclusively available at Countdown, I would definitely buy more! There are a lot of colours I have my eye on.

Tips: Two coats give you the perfect colour.

Value Quality Polish

I got one of these a couple of months ago and it has been a favourite polish in my collection since. I have this in the shade 'Khloe had a little lam lam' which is a deep murky teal color.

The consistencey of this formula and the brush i think are really good i find this polish fool-proof in applying smoothly and evenly. Two coats of this polish provides full coverage and the finish is quite glossy at first and then somehow appears more of a dull glossy finish by the second day of wear. I get 3-4 days wear out of this polish with only two coats, no base or top coat before chipping becomes noticeable.

This is a good quality nail polish and to me it's worth the price.

Love the colours!

As a nail technician and nail art blogger, I find that I love this brand! What attracts me most is the bright colours. From what I've been told, Nicole by OPI is targeted at a younger audience, which makes sense going by all the beautiful glitters and brights in their collections! The consistency is perfect - I've got one in particular (Please Red-Cycle) that only needs one coat!

Tips: It's got a slightly thinner brush than normal OPI.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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
