Kim-pletely In Love - Nicole By OPI

Following Khloe Had A Little LamLam, here is another Kardashian Kolor. This light pink polish is called Kim-pletely In Love, and has a blue teal shimmer to it. I borrowed this polish from my friend, excited to try another Kardashian Kolor!


I was unsure what it would look like on my nails, as I prefer dark colours, but this is just so pretty, it is hard not to like it!!


Despite the gorgeous colour, you need A LOT of coats. I mean, a lot. I was planning on putting a quick coat of white down before applying Kim-pletely In Love but my white is rather thick and I wanted to do my nails quickly. So, this is a base coat, and an unnecessary amount of polish, finished with one top coat.


Not only was the colour very translucent, it was also very thin; also contributing to the amount of coats I had to apply. Personally, I do not like to see my nail line after applying polish, so applied coats to eliminate this.


I painted my nails late at night so I didn't see the full effects of the gorgeous shimmer - I hope in the close-up pictures you can see the blue shimmer, it is amazing!


I wasn't that impressed with the formula, as I found it very different from my other OPIs (which apply like a dream!) but I feel that the colour makes up for it. Ho-hum, the shimmer is beautiful in the sunlight!!!


I would recommend this polish, along with the advice "use a white first!" as I honestly love the colour and the cool shimmer. (After using one polish of hers, I think me and my friend are even with all the years of using my nail polish!! Whoops!) I also think that the polish looks amazing with my new ring, in the sale at Topshop!!

Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam - Nicole by OPI

This is Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam, a Kardashian Kolor from Nicole by OPI. As you can see it is a beautiful, rich dark green, and is a polish I ADORE! I bought this from ASOS a couple of months ago along with Kendall On The Katwalk, a blue and green glitter. Before they arrived, I had only seen front on pictures of the bottle, so it took me by surprise when they arrived! I think the bottle is absolutely brilliant, along with the polish!

I am a fan of the Kardashian's, but it was only in the last few months when I started reading nail blogs that I discovered that they had a range of polishes out with Nicole by OPI, Kardashian Kolor.


I think this was 3 coats (with a base coat) - I couldn't stop painting as I love the brush too much! - but I have previously worn it with only 2 coats, and applied carefully it could be a one-coater!!


I found Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam quite tricky to capture the intensity of the gorgeous colour in a photograph, as it looks different in the sunlight and the shade!


Like OPI, I found the brush gave a perfect application and was a dream to paint with! I love wearing dark colours so I will be wearing this A LOT!


I added 2-3 coats of topcoat to really bring out the colour and shine. I often only find it with glitters, but with this colour I just can't stop looking at it! :-)
