Kardashian Kolor for the Holidays: Deck the Dolls

My personal opinion of the Kardashians' aside, they do know how to expand their market. They have a new clothing line out, a new line of cosmetics called Khroma Kolors...and they have been hugely successful with their branch of Nicole for O.P.I nail polish, called Kardashian Kolors.

(Sorry for the slightly blurry picture, my camera was freaking out) This is Deck the Dolls, and it is a pretty ocean blue with the slightest microscopic shimmer.

I love this color, but it has a ton of dupes in almost every other line...so this is a good pick for someone new to polish. The Nicole for O.P.I formula is nice, the brush covers the whole nail in one swipe. This polish was on the sheer side, and with three coats there was still some visible nail line.

For about $7, these polishes aren't cheap for a secondary line of a 'salon' polish. Also, the bottles are oddly shaped and I have a hard time storing them.

Final Thoughts: Deck the Dolls is a nice winter blue if you have nothing similar in your stash.

Price: 8/10
Staying Power:8/10
Packaging: 7/10
Color/Wearability: 10/10
Quality/Branding: 9/10
 
Total: 42/50 = B = Meh Panda
 
The Kardashian's sure know how to market things! Will you be picking up any of their holiday 'Kolors'?

My Nail Stash!!

This is just a fluffy fun post about my stash. I recently got some nail wheels from Sally Beauty and decided to swatch all my polishes by brand for easier polishing. Now I can just pick off the color wheel and grab corresponding polish. Easy.

Enjoy gratuitous polish pictures!




All of my new nail wheels!
Final Count: 113 polishes from Essie, Essence, Sally Hansen, Butter London, Hard Candy, ORLY, Zoya, CG, Revlon, OPI, Nicole, Julep, Deborah Lippmann, Wet n Wild, l'Oreal, Milani, Del Sol, NYC, Sephora, Ulta, Pixel, and some Indies.

Phew!

This isn't counting all of my tools, base coats, top coats, etc.

How many polishes are in your stash??
