For their newest addition to the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors, the brand has chosen to focus on Kim Kardashian as the muse.
Wel-Kim to My World features six shades of polish from creamy to shimmery, wild to professional… a very feminine set, very Kim!
Others Pale by Kim-Parison
Others Pale by Kim-Parison is a nice, semi-sheer white cream. Application was okay, but there are better whites. This one would probably be better as just a one coat sheer deal. Three coats were used for the swatch photo.
Kim Konfidential
Kim Konfidential is a peachy flesh toned cream. Application was better than Others Pale by Kim-Parison, but not the best. I do love the shade, though. Three coats were used in the swatch photo
Up & Kim-ing Pink
Up & Kim-ing Pink is a bubble gum pink cream. I really loved this one and it applied flawlessly in three coats.
Nothing Kim-Pares to Blue
Nothing Kim-Pares to Blue is a pastel blue base with silver shimmer. Three coats were used in the above swatch photo and it was still a little thin, but the shade is SO gorgeous.
Lights, Kim-era, Action!
Lights, Kim-era, Action! is a gorgeous, ethereal white shimmery opalescent polish. It’s almost filmy looking. Three coats were used in the above swatch, and as you can see there is some visible nail line, but it applied VERY well and is my favorite shade from this collection of six.
Here Kim’s the Sun

Here Kim’s the Sun is smattering of mini multi-colored glitters in a clear base. This would be an amazing fairy dust top coat on top of any shade of your choosing. I used three coats for the swatch photo above.
Overall, this is a nice little addition and focus on Kim to the Kardashian Kolors. The two must haves from this collection (for me) are Lights, Kim-era, Action! and Here Kim’s the Sun. I don’t believe I have anything like them in my stash. Runners up are definitely Nothing Kim-Pares to Blue and Up & Kim-ing Pink.
Do you think these shades did justice to the image you have of Kim Kardashian? Who should be next to have their own little extension of Kardashian Kolors? I’d love to see a fun little set of holos featuring Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

I kind of feel that the whole Kardashian clan has had their five minutes of fame. There comes a point when you can “over brand” yourself and I feel that this family has done just that. As for the polish itself I love the colors are neutrally beautiful and subtle, just the thing Kim would wear. They just aren’t polishes I will be adding to my collection.
That blue looks awesome! If I wasn’t so disappointed by Kim these days, I may have picked some of these up.
If you want something similar, OPI I Don’t Give A Rotterdam is similar, but a bit more grey/blue at the base https://blushingnoir.com/2012/02/opi-holland-nail-polish-collection-swatches-review-and-comparisons-spring-2012/ or Zoya Skylar https://blushingnoir.com/2011/12/zoya-true-nail-polish-collection-swatches-and-review-spring-2012-nail-color/
I would think that Kim’s collection would be less demure and more fiery — reds, glitters, something like that. These are really pretty though!
I thought there would be a deep vampy shade as well. I’m sure they’ll give her some sort of Fall collection, though lol
