Mani Monday: Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection (Swatches)

Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection Swatches

Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection Nail Polish Swatches

Pictured here are three more nail polish swatches from the Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection: I Do De-Claire, My Jay or the Highway, and She’s Lily Something.

My favorite of this group has to be I Do De-Claire. It was very easy to achieve a smooth and glossy finish, and the rosy pink is a lovely color. My second favorite polish is My Jay or the Highway, a mushroomy taupe shade. The final shade, She’s Lily Something, has potential. I found it a bit challenging to get a good amount of coverage with the shimmery pieces (which include tiny stars). In this picture, I have a total of three coats. I think She’s Lily Something would work best layered over another shade, instead of by itself.

Or is there a trick to applying shimmery polish that I’m not privy to? If you know of one, please let us know in the comments!
