Nicole by OPI Roughles-On What Grounds?

This month in my Ipsy Glam bag I got one of the new Nicole by OPI Roughles (sounds like ruffles) polishes in "On What Grounds?" I was really exctied when I found out I was going to be getting this in my bag because I really wanted to try these out.

I love the textured trend that is going on and I get so excited when a new one comes out. I rush out and try to find them as soon as I can. This one came right to my door (well, my mailbox anyway, lol).

This is On What Grounds? and it is a really pretty minty green that is perfect for spring. It applied pretty smoothly and I didn't have any issues with the formula or anything. In this minty green textured beauty is not just the texture granules but there is also some colored particles in there as well. That is what sets this one apart from most. From what I could tell the colored particles were blue and black.

The dry time on this one was a little bit longer than most of my other textures but not by much. I used 2 coats over my base coat and no top coat. I loved this one and I can't wait to get my hands on the other 3 colors in this collection!!

Nicole by OPI polishes can be purchased at a variety of stores such as WalMart, Target, Shopko, various drug stores, and Ulta stores. You can find these just about anywhere. A full sized bottle is 0.5fl oz

Nicole by OPI: Alex By The Books

Today I am bringing you something I picked up on my recent grocery shopping trip at WalMart. I was looking for a minty aqua blue/green and they didn't quite have what I was looking for so I picked this one up instead. I figured that since I didn't have anything like it in my collection I would add it. This is "Alex By The Books" from Nicole by OPI from their Modern Family Collection. It is more of a mint green creme than what I was shopping for but still pretty none the less. I have shockingly never tried this brand before so I thought, "what the hell" and threw this one in the cart.

Now, I'm not sure how I feel about this one, I don't really know how I feel about the color on me but it's nice to have a color like this in your collection cause you never know when you are going to want it.

This is a creme and I used 3 thin coats for this one because it was a little streaky so the third coat smoothed out all the streaks. This pic was taken indoors with a flash.

I was going to do some fun nail art with the stamping kit I picked up also but my dogs kinda ruined and smudged the mani so bad that it was beyone repair (they just HAD to go outside as soon as I finished and my nails were still wet, then they just HAD to come right back in right away, lol). I just took it off and haven't really started again, that's why there is only the one pic.

Nicole by OPI can be purchased just about anywhere like WalMart, Target, Ulta, etc. There were a few other colors that caught my eye and I just may have to go back for them. Shhhhh...don't tell the hubby, lol!
