Nicole by OPI Seize the Summer (Summer 2014)

With Fall lacquers on the horizon, gorgeous as they are, I find myself dragging my feet and still not ready to let go of Summer yet. To prolong the sunny feeling this season has instilled in me, allow me to show you some bright and happy shades from the Nicole by OPI Seize the Summer release...


Lay it on the Lime
A light, but bright whited out lime green cream. The formula on this was pretty good, however it did require three coats for full coverage. In the swatches I can see some balding near the cuticles, but this wasn't noticeable in reality. Swatches are without any top coat...

Color Name/Number: Lay it on the Lime, NI 439
Number of coats: 3
Top Coat: No

Shaved Nice
A fun glitter mix consisting of tiny silver shimmery glitter, slightly larger white glitter and small plus larger hex glitter in green, peach and violet. The green seems a bit Christmas-y and out of place, but otherwise a really great topper. I got plenty of glitter and sparkle in each brush stroke. The silver and white provides nice even coverage and the larger colorful glitter are peppered throughout. I used just one easy coat over my base of Lay it on the Lime. Swatches are with a top coat...

The Coral of the Story

LeaPink for Joy
A bright pink cream. This also has a wonderful pigmented formula which is smooth and easy to apply. Full coverage in just two coats. This makes my skin tone look a shade darker so it is like getting a free tan each time I put it on. Swatches are without a top coat...

  2. I've walked past these in stores so many times, but for some reason after seeing this post on them, I've changed my mind and decided that I do in fact need these. Will definitely pick up the glitter and lime green sometime soon.

  3. I don't know how you do it, but your poses with those oddly shaped bottles look so natural! I'm still trying to figure out a way to hold them without looking all awkward and weird.
