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.

Nicole by OPI Always a Classic Coca-Cola

(inspired by Coca-Cola)

This classically gorgeous bright red is refreshingly stylish.

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. 

Nicole by OPI DC Lover

(inspired by Diet Coke)

Scintillating silver with iconic-Coke red sparkle.

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?

Nicole by OPI Zero is My Hero

(inspired by Coke Zero)

Just in time, this darkly rich burgundy has come to my rescue!

I'm showing two coats below without top coat.

Isn't that shimmer just gorgeous?

Nicole by OPI The Look is Orange

(inspired by Fanta Orange)

Put the squeeze on this bright and stylish orange!

I'm showing two coats below without top coat.

Squishy, almost crelly-like formula. 

Nicole by OPI In Grape Demand

(inspired by Fanta Grape)

People are lining up to get their hands on this yummy plum.

I'm showing two coats without top coat.

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

Nicole by OPI Seriously Citrus

(inspired by Sprite)

No kidding... this clean, sparkling green with refreshing, cool white is gorgeous!

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.

What do you think of this collection? As I said above, I really like it and prefer it to the OPI Coca-Cola Collection. I wonder if they had too many ideas for the sodas and decided that they would do a Nicole by OPI Collection with some of their other favorites. Either way, I'm glad they did! Thanks so much for reading! Let me know you favorites in the comments below.
