nicole by opi kardashian kolors collection pt. 2

Day two of swatches for the Kardashian Kolors collection! I think anyone who knows anything about me realizes I'm a sucker for anything with sparkle, so these glitter lacquers were right up my alley. I'll start with the three darkest:

left to right: Kendall on the Katwalk, Listen to Your Momager!, Follow Me On Glitter

Follow Me On Glitter- took me a minute to get the name (Glitter-Twitter) but it's an awesome color. It has a smoky grey base with silver and black microglitter and larger, round multiglitter accents mixed in.

Listen to Your Momager! is a medium/dark blue shimmer. After one coat I thought I wasn't going to be that impressed with it but it totally transforms into a gorgeous deep blue with the second and the sparkle becomes much more noticeable.

Kendall on the Katwalk is my favorite from all the glitters in this collection. It's a blue base with green and purple glitter thrown in to accent and it's gorgeous. It's also very richly colored and easy to apply.

 I loooove this one. It's a super-fine gold glitter with mulitcolor round glitter accents. It's very similar to Glitter In My Stocking but instead of red glitter accents, it's all different colors.

I've already seen this shade, Wear Something Spark-Kylie on multiple people and I can understand why. It's a really fun, sparkly pink (looks even better with a second coat). It doesn't have the chunky glitter like a few of these other polishes but I love it, the finer glitter makes it much easier to apply and remove.

Glitter in the S-Kylie is clear with multicolored glitter accents (round and hexagonal). It's very comparable to OPI's Rainbow Connection and Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. I can't wait to try it over Listen to Your Momager!

And now for the last two, these I actually had grouped with the polishes from yesterday because just glancing at the bottle, the shimmer is hard to catch.

Kim-Pletely In Love really surprised me. I thought this was going to be another run-of-the-mill sheer pink but it's actually a beautiful very subtly shimmered polish. The glitter is so fine it also lends the lacquer an iridescent quality, so the color is slightly differs depending on the lighting. Two thumbs up from me, great take on the sheer pink everyone needs in their polish arsenal!

It's All About the Glam is very pretty. It's opaque white after 2-3 coats but because of the sparkle it looks soft and not so stark (why I don't wear solid white polish). I'm definitely going to be reaching for this one again soon.

Overall, I really have nothing bad to say about this collection. There wasn't a single polish I think should have been left out or perfected. As always, I was crazy about the Nicole by OPI formula and the new-to-me brush design was a pleasant surprise. I was also really impressed with all the glitter and shimmer polishes from this collection (eight in total!), Nicole by OPI seems to have perfected the art of making them.

If you missed day one, with the creme polishes, they're swatched here.

I'm so excited to share swatches for the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Collection with y'all today! I've never been so crazy about so many polishes in one collection, I seriously love every single one. It's quite extensive, with 14 shades, so I've broken them up into two posts. Today I'll share the creme shades (glitter tomorrow!) starting with the darker lacquers of the bunch:

left to right: My Empire... My Rules, Hard-Kourt Fashionista, Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam

Are these not so perfect for this time of year? I love inky, moody shades but often find that so many are so dark and unidimensional they just look like black but these are all stand out beautifully. Also, maybe I'm just behind but these brushes are a good bit larger than the Nicole by OPI brushes I already own, I'm not sure when they changed them (I don't see anything on these bottles about it) but I love the new ones. They make it a thousand times to easier to coat your entire nail with polish and avoid those weird ridges where the lacquer wasn't applied evenly.

My Empire... My Rules was the first shade I applied. Inside, it's a creamy mushroom taupe with green undertones but in sunlight, the green is less prominent and it looks like a gray. Either way, it's such a gorgeous and unique tone.

I'm quite honestly obsessed with this one, Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam. I'm wearing it now and it's definitely my favorite from the entire collection, and possibly my favorite ever (I know, that's a big commitment). It's a rich teal and the saturation is so intense it looks even and flawless with just one coat. 

I squealed when I first saw Hard-Kourt Fashionista. Russet is my favorite color to don in winter but I've had such a hard time finding lacquers that were the reddish brown shade I was looking for (not not a super creamy maroon). This one is perfect, the formula (like in all the polishes in this collection) is great too. It's smoothly-flowing, self-leveling, and super glossy.

And now for the lighter shades!

Kourt Is Red-y For a Pedi is a super glossy tomato red with a jelly-like formula. It went on super easy and only required two coats, unlike a lot of other vibrant red jelly polishes I love (I'm looking at you Essie Jelly Apple). 

 Sealed With a Kris goes on much lighter than I thought it would looking at the bottle. It's a blue-based claret shade with just the slightest hint of burgundy in some lights. It's a great take on a classic red.

 All Kendall-ed Up is a highly-pigmented bubblegum pink. I have it on my toes now and love it!

Okay, I have to say, these 6 polishes are seriously outstanding. I saw swatches for all of these online back in early November but I still blown away when I started using my own. The brush, formula, and the gorgeous hues are all top-notch. It's so rare that I like every polish in a collection, much less deem them new favorites like I do with every single one of these. I'd definitely recommend any of them! Also, I've heard a lot of girls having trouble finding them, try Ulta!
