Nicole by OPI 'Back to Reality...TV'

You might have seen the Nicole by OPI Kardashian collection from Walmart, but I didn't realize that CVS had one as well. I went to CVS to pick up some essentials and I came across a display for this collection. Only one color caught my eye, 'Back to Reality...TV'. It is GORGEOUS! But I almost didn't want to buy it. Why? Because I dislike the Kardashians. Very much. LOL. But I ended up buying it anyways.
I mean, look at it! It just screams my name! Sinful Colors has a similar looking shade called 'Zeus', but I haven't been able to find it :(

Nicole by OPI 'Comet-ment'

Yet another winner by Nicole by OPI! I have been very impressed with this line of nail polishes recently, and I think they really stepped up their game. The one I chose this time is a holographic top coat~ Holo polishes are never a let down ^_^

Price and Availability
I believe this was $7 ~_~ I don't even keep track of what I spend...
This is a Target exclusive, so you can online find it at Target, or on eBay and whatnot.


Comet-ment [Work play on 'Commitment']
Is a semi-sheer holographic polish. I don't think this works that well alone; I would use it over top of other nail polishes. That being said though, this is a lot more pigmented than most layering polishes. I only used one coat, and you can see the holo shimmers very well. This dries very quickly and it's not watery or thick. It is extremely easy to use and to apply.

Swatches:
One coat over two coats of Essie's 'Smooth Sailing'

Nail Polish Favorites #7: Nicole by OPI 'You're S-Teal The One'

Damn Target and its awesome makeup section. Every time I got to Target, I always end up buying something. This time, I fell victim to an amazing nail polish by Nicole by OPI.

Price and Availability
$7 at Target

You're S-Teal The One (playing on 'your still the one')
A metallic teal (is way more blue than green) with a purple duo chrome. The closest things I own to this color are:
~OPI 'Catch Me in your Net', but this is too green and does not have a purple duo-chrome
~L'oreal 'Blue Marine', is still too green and has a little bit of a purple duo-chrome, but its not very visible.
~Love and Beauty 'Seafoam', is also too green and not metallic enough, but does have a slight purple duo chrome.

Formula
This polish is quite sheer. When I applied the first coat, it was very sheer and I was disappointed by it. But, each coat dries super fast! So the 3 coats that it takes to get this polish opaque still dry extremely fast. Taking this off is not that fun though; it takes a little more effort to remove than your average polish.

Swatches
 Okay, now excuse my very ugly nails...but I am showing these for the sake of showing you the color!

 In the picture below, you can see the purple duo chrome~
The purple duo chrome is very hard to capture in camera, but it is much more prominent in real life. It is the most prominent purple duo chrome in a blue polish that I have ever seen.  And seriously, in real life this polish is simply gorgeous!~

More nail swatches coming soon ;)
