Nicole by OPI Modern Family Winter 2013

Hi there! Today I would like to show you the five new Nicole by OPI Modern Family shades added to the collection this holiday season. You can see swatches of the full collection, which was released in the beginning of this year, here and here. The holiday release features three metallic shimmer shades and two glitter toppers to get you into the holiday spirit...


Late Blu-mer
An icy powder blue metallic shimmer. It has a nice formula that is easy to apply. As typical for shimmery shades, it does leave slightly visible brushstrokes. This color is just so pretty, I love it. Swatches are two coats with no top coat...




Swatch Details
Brand: Nicole by OPI
Collection: Modern Family, Winter 2013
Color Name/Number: Late Blu-mer, NI F15
Number of coats: 2
Top Coat: No

Free of Formaldehyde, Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

Spark the Conversation (over Late Blu-mer)
Square silver holographic glitter in a clear base. I have a love/hate relationship with this polish. I love the square glitter, but I struggled to get 'even' coverage. I ended up with either too few glitters on the nail or too many in one spot. I would suggest dabbing this one on.

Although my camera doesn't show off the holographic effect too well, it certainly doesn't hide in reality. Even a few pieces create a very sparkly effect. For these swatches I used two-ish coats with a top coat...



Hello holo...

Aren't Families Grape?
A dark indigo purple metallic shimmer. On first coat is seems sheer, a purple shimmer in a blackened base. The color builds nicely and is opaque at two coats. I did end up using three coats to make sure the tips were well wrapped. It is like a beautiful jewel. Swatches are with no top coat...

You're My Treasure (Aren't Families Grape?)
Various shapes and sizes of gold holographic glitter in a clear base. Layered over purple it makes me think of Mardi Gras. From a distance it looks a bit like gold flakes. My camera once again ate most of the holographic effect, but in reality it is very prominent. This topper is very pretty and would work well over any polish. I used two-ish coats plus a top coat...

Who Red My Journal???
A burnt reddish orange with a golden metallic shimmer. This color seems to transform depending on the light. Sometimes it appears more red, other times a bit peachy and orange. It has a nice formula and provides wearable coverage at two coats, however, I used three for these swatches. No top coat...
