I typically do nail polish collections all at once in a post here on Beauty Gala, but for this collection, I wanted to slowly feature them one-by-one because they are all so different in shade and effect that I want you to be able to really take each one in. Nicole by OPI Texture Coat Nail Polish is a brand new line of graffiti-inspired polishes that is also inspired by OPI’s Shatter polishes.
“Fans of Nicole by OPI are fun, fashion-forward women who love experimenting with trends and using nail lacquer as a form of self-expression,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Texture Coat offers an easy way to create your own completely customized nail art. Whether you choose pastels, darks, glitters, shimmers, or sheers to pair with Texture Coat, the endless options will accessorize every look.”
What’s unique about these polishes is that they differ from your typical shatter polishes in my opinion. They leave a different pattern than your typical shatter polish, and I mean that in a great way. To see photographs and swatches,
Turquoise Texture is layered lightly over top of “Play The Peonies” by OPI above. I simply brushed the Texture Coat polish on a diagonal across my dried base color, and it “shrunk” into a feathered texture. What I notice about the formula on these Nicole by OPI polishes is that the actual Texture Coat polish shows more on the nail rather than “shattering” more, and the effect seems to be a little more understated. Personally, I love the feathered look this gave my nails, and I prefer it over a super shattered look. Shatter nail polish isn’t for everyone, and this gives more of a “pretty” effect in my opinion. It also doesn’t hurt that the turquoise color is absolutely shimmering and gorgeous, either! This nail polish lasted on my nails for over eight days with just some minor tip wear.
Watch out for more swatches of the other five shades, which I will be featuring!
