purple - Lucy's Stash

I'm continuing to trying brands and polishes I've never tried before. Now it's time for Nicole by OPI. For those of you who don't know anything about the brand - Nicole is "OPI's little fashion conscious sister" and polishes are DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde Free. Polishes are now available onlina at Boots and currently retail for £6.95.

My first Nicole by OPI polish I have is called Ink A Dink A Pink and it is a bright pink fuchsia colour with purple shimmer. It's very bold colour and I'm sure you girls will love it!

Now the formula was non streaky but a little bit watery and runny. I have 2 coats in the picture. It could be better with three but I was ok with these two. Drying time was average long and polish didn't chip for the first three days. Overally really nice polish, have a look on the pictures:

Price: 3/5
Formula: 3/5
Coverage: 3/5
Chipping: 4/5

*Product was send to me by company or PR company for a review. Information expressed are my honest opinions.

I was really excited to get this polish and I was waiting for it quite a long time. It is from China Glaze Halloween collection 2010 and....it is just awful :( Not how it looks but the whole formula :( It made holes, did not applied evenly and drying chunks of polish were around the bottle all the time. I have 2 thicker coats in the picture which were opaque. The second coat made the surface even but the first one was real catastrophe.

Also the surface is quite gritty and even after one thick coat of Seche vite it is not totally smooth. It chipped in two days of wearing and what would you think about the removal? Yes, it was horrible again, like ordinary glitter!
