With the success of the first collaboration (Kollaboration?) Nicole by OPI has once again partnered with the Kardashian Klan to create a CVS exclusive line of Kardashian Kolors.
Joining the ranks are (in order from left to right in the below photo) Paparazzi Don’t Preach, Ladies in the Limelight, One Big Happy Fame-ily, Back to Reality…TV, Strike A Pose, Our Fuchsia’s Lookin’ Bright, and Smile for the Glam-era.
Paparazzi Don’t Preach is a perfectly peach neutral cream. I needed three coats to smooth it out and make it fully opaque.
Ladies in the Limelight
Ladies in the Limelight is a retina-burning yellow lime. I needed three coats to even it out and make it fully opaque.
One Big Happy Fame-ily
One Big Happy Fame-ily is a rather sheer pale lavender with shimmer. I used three coats for the swatch photo, but I think this would be better suited on top of a coordinating base coat.
Back to Reality…TV
Back to Reality…TV is a vintage periwinkle with a violet-red shimmer. It was almost good with two coats, but in the end I used three just in case.
Strike A Pose
Strike A Pose is a hot melon-red cream. I feel like I’ve been seeing this color a lot… an “it” shade for spring! Two coats were used for the swatch photo.
Our Fuchsia’s Lookin’ Bright
Our Fuchsia’s Lookin’ Bright is a purple saturated fuchsia. This is a beautiful shade, and thankfully a bit different than the fuchsia shade I got tired of last year. It was decent in one coat, but I went for two for the photo just in case.
Smile for the Glam-era
Smile for the Glam-era is an aubergine shade loaded up with red and gold shimmers. This is a lovely and vampy addition to a very Spring collection. I used 2 coats for the swatch photo.
Overall, this is a nice add in to the original Kardashian nail polish line. For me, must haves are Back to Reality…TV, Paparazzi Don’t Preach, Strike A Pose, and Smile for the Glam-era.

This collection has some really nice colors. I only picked up Back To Reality…TV, but your swatches are making me want Smile for the Glamera as well.
