Hello lacquered lovelies! My post today is a bit late, I went out hunting and made a post office trip. I got a couple of eBay orders and my swap package from Jen, which was amazing!! I can't wait to share the lovelies with you all! Thanks again, sugar, you're awesome!
So today, I have one of the new Nicole by OPI colours. Originally there wasn't a display for these, but in the Shoppers I frequent, they now have a display for them that has something like SPARKLE SPARKLE EVERYWHERE all up on it. Something like that. Anyway, this is Sensational Scarlet, a deep magenta jelly with holo glitter. The formula on this was thick. Like, very thick. Probably the thickest formula I've ever worked with. It could probably be a one coater, if you're very careful, but I did one thicker coat and a thin coat to cover any bald patches.
This is a total topcoat eater. I did two coats here and it was still pretty rough. I don't mind that, I actually really like the sandpaper feel on my nails (weird, I know, but I still love it, I rarely topcoat glitters if I'm just wearing them).
Close up!
Aaaand blurred to show the glitter goodness. I was a fan, even though it's not my type of colour.
That's all from me today! I got a lot of compliments on this colour and I quite liked it, shockingly. What do you guys think? Do you like it? Have you tried any of the colours from the Nicole by OPI spring collection? I love this collection, I think it's my favourite just because it's so different!
Thanks for reading, I hope to talk to you in the comments!
Soo pretty. I love the small hex glitters! Gorg! I love me so glittery berries!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS SO PRETTY. omg I want itttttt. I love the glittery goodness..I need to stalk my Shoppers now..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I have this color and love it. I do slap on extra coats of top coat because I'm not of fan of sandpaper nails :P. It's worth it though.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love!!!! That is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePretty and glittery! i just bought a new NOPI last night Iceberg Lotus I love it so far I'll be wearing it soon.
ReplyDelete@Cris: Berry shades usually scare me but with all that glitter I couldn't resist this beauty! Thanks for commenting! <3
ReplyDelete@Elizabeth: It's awesome. I think there should be another NOPI sale this month, hopefully it's as good as the $5.99 one! <3
@StardustStephanie: It's so pretty, right? I'm surprised at how much I like this. And hahahaha sandpaper nails aren't for everyone, I think it's just a "I get obsessed about weird textures" thing for me. I love my glitter! Thanks for commenting, doll <3
@Paulina: It is, isn't it? I love this whole collection, it's not really a "spring" collection but it's so different, and I was getting sick of the pastels haha! Thanks for commenting, sugar! <3
@Robyn/MissMidnight: Ooooh I I like Iceberg Lotus a lot, I want to see someone do a comparison on that and that SOPI from the Glee collection... Who Let the Dorks Out?, I think! Thanks for commenting, lovely! <3
Yayyyy mah blogging friends commentin' on mah posts. <3 (I need a nap)
Very pretty ;-)
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah, it's pretty! I love it when people post those out of focus shots, it really shows the sparkle :).
ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOh!! Pretty seems an understatement!! it gorgeous!! :O :O :O.....oh!! how i wish i cud get my hands on these!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this! Red glitters suck me in like nothing else, haha. I actually don't have any of this collection yet...that may have to change!
ReplyDeleteWow! Absolutely G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S ♥
ReplyDeletewow, it's very pretty! :) I neeeeed it! :P
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, nice to see a glitter that you don't have to layer over something else!! :o)
ReplyDeletei hadn't looked at this collection, but i think i need too lol
Nice colour.
ReplyDeleteThis is my BILLIONTH time trying to respond to comments this weekend (internet has been sucky and my phone apparently hates this comment thing so I changed the settings... hopefully it's easier for others now too!) but this WILL work!
ReplyDelete@Krissy: It is, isn't it? And you'd know about all things pretty... ;) Thanks for commenting!
@Love, B: I spent so much time trying to make sure my pictures weren't out of focus (I had no idea what macro meant until I started snapping pics of my nails LOL) but I agree, it really works with colours like this! Thanks for commenting!
@Fathima: I would try arranging a swap for them, they're easy to find in Canada and the US! I'm always open to swaps too! :) Thanks for commenting!
@Zara: I love this collection. It's so unusual for a spring collection. I love most of the spring collections (the Nubar is a bit too light for my liking, Anchors Away is much more my speed) but this one is just mental. It makes no sense as a spring collection but it works anyway! Thanks for commenting, doll!
Thanks for reading, lovelies! I'm breaking my replies into two parts to make it less long haha.

@Shang J.: It's stellar, isn't it? I don't usually go for colours like this but it's so gorgeous! Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDelete@dinamo: I agree, you need it! ;) I'm such an enabler LOL. But it is so so pretty. And I get my glitter fix with it still being a tiny bit feminine! Thanks for commenting!
@Jess: I agree! So many glitters are suspended in a clear base but it's nice to see something with a coloured base that still actually shows the glitter. Lovelovelove! Definitely look into it if you can, such an interesting collection! Thanks for commenting!
@Charlotte Sparkle: It's lovely, isn't it? I'm glad you like it :) Thanks for commenting!
Whooo, Blogger doesn't hate me anymore... Thanks for reading and commenting, my lovelies, I really love reading what you guys have to say and it means a lot that you all take the time to comment! Thank you so much! <3 <3
