Nicole by OPI New Texture Coat Polishes

Heyyy folks :) I have four new Nicole by OPI texture coat (crackle/shatter) polishes to show you. They are Quartz, Aquamarine, Amethyst, and Opal Texture.

Here they are, in order as stated above, over a white cream polish. Quartz is a metallic silvery lilac.  Aquamarine is a medium blue glitter. Amethyst is a medium purple glitter. Opal is a opalescent glitter, shining pinky purple.

Below is the polishes over a black cream, same order.

The coolest way I've seen glitter crackles used is in a glitter/jelly sandwich. The Swatchaholic did a version the other day that is way fun and unexpected. You can get these wherever Nicole by OPI polishes are sold for $7.99.

P.S. I hate to do this, but this will be my first contest that has to be limited to people in the United States only. I have recently become aware that the United States Postal Service has changed their policy regarding shipping standards and a lot of nail polish has been either returned to senders trying to ship internationally or they have been fined for it. I am sorry, I love my international followers SOOOO much but I can't risk the $$$ :( I hope you forgive me. I'll have to come up with a way in the next giveaway that you can join in on the fun.
