In an interesting twist to the liquid sand nail polishes that OPI has been releasing, sister brand Nicole by OPI has debuted four new and limited edition textured nail lacquers – the Roughles.
These polishes have the same sandy feel as the Liquid Sands but some of the texture bits are colored, making them appear more like colored Easter eggs when painted on the nail.
On What Grounds? is a robins egg blue with blue speckles; Rock the Look is pink with reddened peach speckles; Sand in My Shoe is yellow with reddened peach speckles and I’m Stucco on You is a periwinkle shade with blue and fuchsia speckles.
I also felt like these would look cool under an OPI Sheer Tints Watercolor mani. Very Easter Egg! When you can make a mess out of a manicure and call it nail art… I’m down.
How would you wear the Nicole by OPI Roughles?
Nicole by OPI formulas are long-lasting, fast-drying, and salon-quality. The 4 new nail lacquers will be available in stores beginning March 2014 for $7.99 each at retailers including select Duane Reade, Kroger, Kmart, Fred Meyer, CVS locations. In Canada, these shades will be available for $10.99 each at Shoppers Drug Mart, Jean Coutu, Rexall, Walmart Canada, Jean Coutu, Loblaw, and London Drug.
Sand in my shoes is really pretty! I like the textures.
I can’t get enough of the roughies or the tints! Great job!

Very spring-ish! I feel like these lacquers are made for nail art ignoramus like me. I can make a mistake and yet it comes off as abstract art, haha!

I love how you added the watercolors! I love texture polishes, but I tend to favor the shiny ones. We’ll see if I end up picking up any of these matte, dotty ones… the yellow one does call to me!

Awesome!!! Welcome to your newest addiction! Pinterest is so easy for losing lots of hours of your life haha
I know it may be not some people’s favorite, but I personally love Roughles with their cute colors and eggshell texture 🙂 Great idea to pair them with tints, that was super creative!

Beautiful shades. Not sure how I feel about the texture, since I am not a fab of the liquid sand feeling. Lol… Super gorgeous shades though!

When you layer the Sheer Tints plus a top coat it’s not too bad 😉
Oooo! I like this combo!!

These are such an odd texture. I have the blue from my Ipsy bag and I’m not quite sure what to think. I do like the way you used it with the top coat over!

That watercolor mani is so cute!!! Its def perfect for Easter. Love the color combos and the effect as well. Is that hard to do?
Nope, I basically slopped on the sheer tints over the roughles randomly. Classy 😉
