Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez Collection - Part 2

As promised, I have the rest of the swatches from the Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez collection to show you. This second part of the collection is made up of gorgeous glitter mixes that can be layered over just about any color. I chose to layer them over the creams and shimmers from this same collection. If you missed the the first half of the swatches yesterday, you can find them all here.


Stars at Night (over Nicole by OPI Scarlett)
A mix of silver and holographic bar glitter in a clear base. This is very similar if not identical to Zoya Electra. Great glitter distribution on the nail. The holographic effect is not well captured by the camera, but is definitely there in real life. This is just one generous coat of glitter with a top coat...




Slightly weird angle, but I was happy to capture some of the holographic glitter...

Mi Fantasia (over Nicole by OPI Selena)
A mix of gold to green duochrome bar glitter and small violet glitter in a clear base. Glitter spreads evenly and no problems with application. This is definitely my favorite way to wear bar glitter. It is subtle, but beautiful. The swatches again are just one coat of the glitter over the peach base...

Kissed at Midnight (over Nicole by OPI Love Song)
A mix of gold and silver glitter of various sizes in a clear base. This is simple, but one of my favorites. It can definitely be layered over any color for some great shine. I needed to tap this one on as the glitter wanted to follow the brush and escape the nails. Nothing the couldn't be overcome. Swatches are one generous coat of glitter with no top coat...

Confetti Fun (over Nicole by OPI Naturally)
A clear base with colorful glitter. This is another one of my favorites from the glitter half of the collection. It really looks like confetti exploded on the nails. The glitter distributes well and the application is nice. I dabbed on one coat of the glitter over the pink base...

Heavenly Angel (over Nicole by OPI Pretty in Plum)
Mylar flakes in a clear jelly base. The flakes shift color from yellow to green to blue/violet. To me this always looks incredible in the bottle, but somehow doesn't excite me on the nails. Maybe it is the application that usually disappoints. The suspending base is fairly thick, the flakes follow the brush right off the nail and the ones that do stay often stick out. Maybe I just haven't learned the trick for applying these. I used two coat plus a top coat for the swatches...

Sweet Dreams (over Nicole by OPI Hit the Lights)
A clear base with silver and teal hex glitter along with small violet glitter. I used one generous coat of glitter over my base. No problems with application or distributions. I absolutely adore the color combination and mix of glitter in this polish. I intend to try it over other colors as soon as I get the chance. Swatches are with no top coat...

Inner Sparkle (over Nicole by OPI Spring Break)
A clear base with pink and lavender hex glitter along with small champagne gold glitter. This is another beautiful mix that I can't wait to try layering over other colors. The application and distribution of glitter are very nice. One coat of glitter and no top coat for these swatches...

  5. I love ur swatches but I must say that I'm not really impressed by the polishes.. :( The only one I like is Heavenly Angel. For the others I have the feeling there are already many of that kind out there by 1000 of different brands.
