OPI Nicole by OPI Review

Being an OPI product, I guess I was expecting the same quality... but I've been pretty disappointed with the Nicole range. They have some lovely colors and the price is better than the OPI range, but I wouldn't use their top-coat again. I've found it chips and peels much too quickly, unlike the wonderful OPI top-coats. I have to use two or three coats of Nicole, and re-do them again if I wear my polish for more than a week.

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.

I only own one Nicole OPI out of my 50+ nail polishes and it's for a reason. The formula in it with all that I have tried is quite runny and I have to apply lots and lots of layers for it to actually look good. A little disappointing as I am a huge fan of OPI. On the plus side it was cheaper :-)

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.

Ahh I am so in love with this polish and this colour. I won one off their Facebook page and I've been buying them every time I head over to Countdown. Such lovely quality for such a good price.

I personally don't understand the difference between OPI and OPI Nicole, because to me they are the exact same quality, except Nicole has a better, more appropriate and suited price tag.

Note that it does have a strong odour. But to me it is sort of on the pleasant side. Haha

The brush is nice and thick, although its not as suitable for the glitter range, because the glitter colours are a thicker consistency, making it harder to paint. It does however do the job fine anyway.

I also find that the glitter ones apply thick on the nail, but I have had no problem with chipping, peeling or drying time. It actually gives the nail a nice 3D effect.

I find that the normal colours do have a bit of wear and tear after a couple days, buy its nothing huge, and can be fixed with a tiny little dab of the brush. They dry super quick, are very opaque and last long time without major chips.

I also love how they come up with all these limited edition ranges which are so pretty, with creative, amazing names to match them too!

If you are like me, and think that $14 is too much money for nail polish - I've noticed that wet n' wild have incredibly similar colours. For $3 a piece, you can find some fabulous dupes.

I bought this colour because the light pink that I had originally wanted was out of stock. I'm impressed with the texture, finish and glossy look. The finish is very even looking and I only needed two coats. It doesn't chip easily and I'd rate it 7/10 for lasting power. The price is a bit high for me but I'm making up for it by not buying any more nail polish from September to October (hopefully).

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

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.

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.

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!
