Collection: I won more Nicole!

I entered in a Nicole by OPI contest before Christmas and was a runner-up!! My prize came in the mail last week and here is what I won.

They sent me 28 randomly selected nail polishes. 

I won a contest with them last year, you can see the post about it here and swatches here. 

The ones that they selected for me are from the Selena Gomez and Modern Family collections. That caused some overlap with what I got last time. I will be giving those away to my friends. I didn't take pictures of them because I thought that would be redundant. 

Thank you Nicole!

Scarlett, A Like-Haley Story..., Spring Break, Naturally, I do de-Claire!

11 QUESTIONS FROM A POLISHED PRANCE

1. Matte or gloss?
I really love gloss but I go for matte on occasion. I like using a matte topcoat for an accent.

2. Blue or pink?
Blue. Blue is one of my favorite colors!There are so many things you can do with it in nail art and just on its own.

3. Glitter or Flakey?
Glitter. I sometimes have trouble with flakey polish and trying to get it out of the bottle. I have many, many glitters. I've been into making a glitter French tip and a full glitter accent nail.

4. OPI or China Glaze?
I only have two bottles of China Glaze and both were given to me as gifts. Sooo I guess I will go for China Glaze!

5. Creme or shimmer?
I could go either way on this one, but shimmer wins it. I love the depth it can give to a nail polish. It may be a green polish but with shimmer you can get many other colors.

6. Rhinestones or studs?
I don't know what I would do without my rhinestones!!! I have several sizes and colors. My favorite are these super tiny ones I got for Christmas. They came in all sorts of colors and in a nice case.

7. Free hand art or stamping?
Free hand, that is the way I do all of my nail art. I have never really had the need or want to get a stamping kit. I'll just stick to drawing!

8. Red or green?
Green is my other favorite color. I love cool colors, I have many different types of blues and greens.

9. Helmer or other storage?
My storage isn't too fancy. All of my boxes are Sterilite from Walmart and two are from a garage sale!

10. Indies or commercial brands?
I have not been able to get ahold of any Indie brands but I love the variety of colors people can come up with. I am going to got with commercial because that is all I have....

11. Favourite polish of all time?
This is such a hard one!!! I will go with Drops of Jupiter from Claire's. It is green, blue, purple, and pure awesome!!
