The names of these polishes all center around the characters in Modern Family. I really like the play on names and I love that Nicole by OPI seems to share my propensity for ellipses and exclamation points! Without further ado, here are the swatches...
Basking in Gloria - "This red-violet is the color of passion"
A deep berry red shimmer. The gorgeous shimmer really seems to glow from within. It has a nice formula that is fully opaque in two coats. Swatches are with no top coat...

Haley Good Lookin'... (over Basking in Gloria) - "She’s cookin’ up plans for this pink super-glitter"
A clear base with small rose pink glitter and hex holographic glitter sprinkled in. The clear base makes it easy to layer over any base color. It is also dense enough that you can probably get full opacity with just layering the glitter. I used one generous coat over my base. It applies easily and the glitter distribution is very nice. Swatches are with a top coat to smooth it out...
Love those flashes of holo...

Luke of the Draw - "Chances are you’ll love this gunmetal glitter"
A black jelly base with silver glitter in different sizes. It builds up to almost full opacity at two coats, which is what I have in my swatches here. I had no problems applying this glitter, the formula is very nice. I think it might be a due of OPI Metallic 4 Life from the Nicki Minaj collection last year. I can do a comparison swatch if anyone is interested. Just leave me a comment below. I absolutely loved it last year and I still love it today. Such a gorgeous glitter! Swatches are with a top coat...

A Phil's Paradise - "No fooling...this pewter is the real deal"
Pewter! Nothing more, nothing less. It applies beautifully for full coverage in two easy coats. I really can't get enough of it. Definitely one of my favorites from this collection. The swatches are with no top coat...
A closer look at what makes up this polish. I absolutely love the black shadows and the depth that it creates...

Candid Cameron - "Call this teal just like you see it...gorgeous!"
A teal to blue duochrome. All I can think about when I see this is peacocks. It is really stunning and glows from within with a bright green shimmer. The formula is very nice with full coverage in just two coats. No topcoat used for these swatches...

Back in my Gloria Days... - "This voluptuous violet has still got it goin’ on!"
A purple base with violet shimmer flecks. It builds up to full coverage in two thick coats or three think ones, as I used here. This beauty just radiates from within. I couldn't stop staring at it. In the bottle it seems to have a golden duochrome shift which can be seen around the corners, but does not translate to the nail. Without a doubt this is my favorite. Swatches are with no top coat...

What's the Mitch-uation? - "This cobalt blue demands an update"
A blue/purple (blurple) shimmer. In real life it has more violet than what appears in the photos (at least on my monitor). It starts out rather sheer and builds up to full coverage by three coats. I'm fascinated by the first coat of this which looks like a black jelly with blue shimmer suspended in it. I'm fairly certain that this is a dupe for OPI Into the Night from The Amazing Spider-Man collection last summer. Again, if anyone is interested in a comparison swatch of the two just leave me a comment with your request. Swatches are with no top coat...
