Seize the Summer is Nicole by OPI’s second collection that will be hitting shelves in the UK this summer consisting of 3 bright cremes and a glitter. I already reviewed the Roughles collection and I’m happy to say that Seize the Summer is another hit with me. At first glance, I didn’t have high hopes for this collection and while I never really warmed up to the glitter, the cremes are truly amazing and have already become firm favourites. You’ve already seen glimpses of them in my nail art so here are some proper swatches!

Lay it on the Lime is an almost neon yellowy green shade. It has a white undertone which compliments most skin tones and distinguishes it from true neons. I had to use 3 coats to banish all signs of streaking but the formula is thin enough that each coat dries quickly.

LeaPink for Joy is a perfect rosy pink. It’s feminine and extremely bold all at the same time. I used two coats with top coat.

Shaved Nice gives absolutely great coverage but I think the reason I just can’t come around is the mix of colours in here. There is silver and white with larger hexes of purple, rose gold and green. The green just seems a bit mismatched and without the green in there it would have a thumbs up from me.

Aside from my personal dislike of the green glitter, this is a really great glitter polish. I used one coat in the swatch over the other 3 shades from the collection. While you won’t get complete coverage with this, 3 coats over nude nails gives a really nice effect.

The Coral of the Story is, without a doubt, my favourite from the collection and my favourite coral shade ever! It’s as close as you can get to a sassy red while still being in Coral territory. I used two coats here for a perfect application.

In the UK, the Seize the Summer collection will be available from July 30th in Superdrug stores and online. RRP £7.99.

These shades are already available to purchase in the US. Check Nicole by OPI’s stockist information for more info.
