OPI Nicole by OPI Review

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
