Comparison: Water You Waiting For Vs. Kendall On The Katwalk

Hello! Today I will be comparing two similar polishes, Nicole By OPI Kendall On The Katwalk and China Glaze Water You Waiting For. To a casual observer, these polishes may appear identical, but upon closer inspection, they most certainly are not. On my pointer and ring fingers is the China Glaze and on my middle and pinky fingers is the NOPI. Both polishes have sheer blue bases with small blue and green glitters. Where they deviate is with the third glitter, WYWF has darker blue glitters, where KOTK has bright purple.

Both are jam packed with glitter and apply really well. The China Glaze is slightly more watery, having more of the base polish in it, so the glitter gets buried a bit more than with KOTK. I used two coats for both polishes

 For me Kendall On The Katwalk is the winner just because I think the purple glitter is stunning. It's definitely up there as one of my all time favorite polishes. Both are really great nail polishes but I think that if you have one of them, than you don't need the other.

Kendall On The Katwalk

Today I have to show a color from the original Nicole By OPI Kardashian collection, which is finally popping up in stores nearby. Anyway I recently picked up Kendall On The Katwalk. I love this color! It was blue, green, and purple glitters all in a blue tinted base! My camera didn't want to pick up on how vibrant this color actually is. I can't exactly remember, but I'm pretty sure that I only used two coats, which applied really well.

A Million Sparkles

Recently at Target I found Nicole By OPI A Million Sparkles. How could I resist, it has bar glitter! The name holds completely true. AMS has small round and bar blue glitters, medium gold glitters, and large pink holo-y bar glitters all packed into a clear base. The brush is kind of big and rectangular, I wouldn't like it for any other type of polish, by for glitter, it works. I used three coats to cover all my nail but it was pretty thick at that point.

Rainbow In The S-Kylie

Although I very much dislike the Kardashian's, I love their Nicole By OPI nail polish collection. One of the stars of the collection is Rainbow In The S-Kylie, which I found all by its lonesome at Target. It's an all too common color, but it still never ceases to impress me. My swatches are all layered over black

RITS has muticolored multisized glitter in a clear base. I used two coats for a good layering, you could probably do more if you want to wear it on it's own though. The brush was a little flat, but it worked pretty well for applying the glitter.

Snow-Man Of My Dreams

Snow-Man Of My Dreams is from this years Nicole By O.P.I winter collection! This was probably the first polish I got from any holiday collection this year, and I think I made a pretty good decision in buying it! Actually, I didn't really have to contemplate anything about this one, once I saw it I knew I had to have it, and then I saw the brush and I almost immediately went straight to the check out counter.

Snow-Man Of My Dreams has mainly blue micro glitters. The great thing about this polish though, is that it also has a ton of other less noticeable colors sprinkled in too, like pink, orange, yellow, and green. 

It applies opaque enough to pull off two coats, and it wasn't really that gritty with a top coat on. Just like the others in this collection, it has a nice normal round brush! It's so much easier to work with glitters when the brush isn't completely horrible. Anyway I love this color, and stay tuned for tomorrows post which includes some nail art I did over this! 

Week Of Glitter: Nicole by OPI Orna-Ment For Each Other

Day 4! Orna-Ment For Each Other is part of Nicole by OPI's recent holiday collection. I really liked the entire collection, but wasn't really planning on getting any, until I opened the bottle and saw... A round brush! The new holiday collection has scrapped that awful paddle brush and swapped it for a nice round, easy to use one! Once I saw that brush, I was convinced, I had to have that collection!

Orna-Ment For Each Other consists mainly of red glitters, with some gold mixed in a clear base. This color is very buildable. It can take two coats for opacity, depending on how thick you apply it, but I still noticed tiny bald spots on my nails, so I did three. Something I also noticed about this polish is that it dries in a satin type finish, so I added a top coat. Nicole by OPI did a great job with this color, it's perfect for Christmas!
