Nicole by OPI Spring Target Exclusives

Today I want to show you swatches of the Target exclusive Nicole by OPI additions for Spring. The release includes two shimmers, one creme and one full coverage glitter. See for yourself which ones you like best...


Great Minds Pink Alike
This is a sweet peach cream with a pink shimmer. The formula if fairly sheer on this one, but at the same time it is very nice in terms of application. I applied three coats and can see only a slight nail line. The swatches are with a top coat...

Look At Me, Look At Me
A dense silver glitter with a few flecks of blue and red glitter mixed in. It provides full coverage in two coats, which is what I have in these swatches. The glitter spreads and covers very well. No problems with the formula. It definitely lives up to it's look at me name. Even my boyfriend commented that he liked this one as I was applying it. I think this might be a dupe of Dr.'s Remedy Serene Silver Glitter.

That's Totally Red-ical
A raspberry red cream. The formula is very nice and easy to apply. It only required two coats for full coverage. The color has a bit more of a raspberry tint to it than what shows up in the photos. It is very nice and bright for spring...

Purple Yourself Together
A purple base with a strong gold shimmer. This is a definite winner and my favorite out of the four. I love that the shimmer comes through so well on the nail and does not hide. It starts out sheer, but builds up nicely to full coverage in three coats. As with the other polishes, the formula was very nice and easy to apply.




Just look at that gorgeous shimmer...

  2. I haven't seen these yet. Purple Yourself Together looks so much like one of the OPI Holland shimmers.
