Nicole by OPI Target Exclusive for Fall

sempie Haziran 15, 2021

Nicole by OPI has released five new Target exclusive shades for this fall lineup that really knocked my socks off. Two beautiful duochromes and three fleck filled complex shimmer shades. Any polish that makes me stare at my nails as it changes colors or sparkles in the different light is a winner in my book. These all certainly had me taking a closer look, especially the fleck filled ones...

Mer-Maid For Each Other
A blue green duochrome shade. It applied easily, but could get a bit streaky if not applied carefully. Two coats was enough to provide full coverage with no visible nail line. My initial though was that this is a dupe for OPI Just Spotted The Lizard, but it is actually more green. I will show a comparison of the two tomorrow. I know there are dupes out there for this, but I have none of them and I'm thrilled to add this to my collection. It is a beauty...

Just some of the color changes from blue to green as the angle shifts...

For Gold Times Sake
Predominantly gold flecks in a brown base with flashes of different colors including purple, red, green, blue and more. I adore this polish! It is simply gorgeous in person as all the little colors come out and sparkle in the light. Unfortunately my camera just couldn't capture every little sparkle to truly represent this polish. It is one that begs to be seen in person. Application was great, two coats for full coverage...

Iris My Case
A purple to brown duochrome. Only two coats were need for full nail coverage with no visible nail line. It has a nice formula and very minimal streaking. There are dupes for it out there, but once again, none of them are in my collection so this is a first for me and I love it...

Brown at the more extreme angle...

Just Busta Mauve
A coppery base loaded with flecks of mauve and blue. The contrasting flecks make an amazing a statement in this polish. Three coats for full coverage of the nail line. Truly one that needs to be seen in person as the photo just don't do it justice...

If the Blue Fits...
A blue base loaded with blue and purple shimmer. In the bottle it appears to have some duochrome to it, but I didn't see it translated to the nail. Two coats for full coverage. This is a stunning blue and with all the deep navy blues that I have in my arsenal, this is absolutely my new favorite...

Just look at all those little flecks that make up this beauty!...
