Swatch Saturday: Nicole by OPI Coca-Cola Collection!

Press Sample

If you are out of the loop, Nicole by OPI just released the Coca-Cola Collection and I have them for you today! If you missed it, check out my This or That? post from earlier this week–I compared these soda inspired shades to their OPI counterparts from last year. Vote on your favorites!

As promised, here are full swatches of the new collection. I have to admit, I’m really leaning toward the Nicole by OPI Collection more than the old OPI one. Aside from one or two, the Nicole by OPI Coca-Cola Collection wins this battle for me. So let’s take a look.

(inspired by Coca-Cola)

I’m showing two coats below without top coat.

I had some small bubbles upon application, but this may be due to the fact that I swatched these almost immediately after receiving them from Fedex.

I’m showing two coats below without top coat.

There is slight visible nail line at 2 coats, so you may prefer 3.

This looks to me like a red version of the silver with blue glitter from the OPI Fifty Shades of Grey Collection: Shine for Me. Any thoughts?

I’m showing two coats below without top coat.

Isn’t that shimmer just gorgeous?

(inspired by Fanta Orange)

I’m showing two coats below without top coat.

Squishy, almost crelly-like formula.

(inspired by Fanta Grape)

I’m showing two coats without top coat.

I see some light patches in different lighting, so you may prefer a third coat.

(inspired by Sprite)

I’m showing one coat below over In Grape Demand without top coat.

This covered well in one coat, but it seems the medium green hexes are curled a bit. It would take 1-2 coats of top coat to help but I left that out for my photos so you could see.
