When given the opportunity to check out the Nicole by OPI Gumdrops collection, I said “yes, please!” Who doesn’t love candy?
“These shades are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Co-Founder & Artistic Director. “By combining groundbreaking texture technology with some of the hottest trends including matte and shimmer finishes, Nicole by OPI has created a new line of lacquers for cutting-edge manicures. Worn without top coat, Gumdrops lacquers dry to a textured matte finish to give nails a “sugar” coated appearance.
Gumdrops shades include:
I Lilac Gumdrops
But I love this sugar-frosted lavender.
My Cherry Amour
You’re the one magenta I adore.
Candy is Dandy
This sweet pink is my favorite guilt-free treat.
Cinna-man of My Dreams
I dream in shades of this warm spice pink.
Blue-Berry Sweet on You
I’ll be true to this berry blue hue.
A-Nise Treat
This shimmery licorice is everyone’s favorite
Plus two limited edition Nicole by OPI Gumdrops available only at Shoppers Drug Mart:
Lemon Lolly and That’s What I Mint!
I’ve slowly gotten used to OPI’s texture shades. I tell friends that it feels like sand (which is appropriate since many textures from OPI are part of the Liquid Sand collections) yet after a few days the texture smooths out, but leaves the glitter and shine behind.
I’ve been wearing Lemon Lolly for the past week and shared a photo of Nicole by OPI Gumdrops Lemon Lolly on Instagram comparing it to the yummy pineapple we were eating that day! All the shades are fun, though I Lilac Gumdrops is my second-favourite here.
Nicole by OPI Gumdrops nail lacquers should always be worn without top coat to achieve the unique textured matte finish. This limited edition collection will be available for $10.99 each at Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart Canada (July 2013), Jean Coutu, Loblaw, and London Drugs (August 2013).
Ooooh! The cinna-man color is amazing! Perfect fall shade
I love these! They are so much fun!
Good to know about the Lolly Lemon.. that is my favourite and I think I will have to pick one up soon! 😛
wow great colours as always!!
These are so gorgeous! I haven’t tried any “texture” polishes yet, but I’d love to sometime!
Lavender wins handsdown!
Candy is Dandy is purty!
Great colours. Saw them in the store the other day, and stopped to have a look.
I love the colours and the names are so cute!
I love Candy is Dandy!!

Cinna-man of my dreams is my favorite!
I love the Candy is Dandy
my fave is I Lilac Gumdrops
my girls love these colours, and I cant get Aaron Carter’s “I want candy” song out of my head.
This nail polish collection is gorgeous especial candy is dandy and I lilac gumdrops!
I love the idea of it being textured. the names of the colours are so awesome making it hard to choose
My favorite is cinna-man
I love Blue-Berry Sweet on You 🙂
Loving “My Cherry Amour”, it would look great on my toes!
I like Cinna-man of My Dreams
THey all sound like something good to eat, and cinnamon is one of my favorite
things. YUM
They are all wonderful shades but love the My Cherry Amour! My daughter would love them all also!
These look cool, but I’m curious how well it comes off? I’ve tried other polishes with glitter in them and it scratched my nails when I went to take it off….:(
Candy is dandy
I like all of them, truth be told. I would use Cinna and Candy together 🙂 maybe swirls . . .
nice to see another line of OPI and some distinctive shades. thanks for reveiwing
Ohhh I love them all!!! So pretty and so much fun for the summer!! Lemon Lolly is so pretty!!!
I adore all of the colors, but haven’t tried the texture, yet!
Cindi
So many great colours and I am loving textured finishes right now!
Going through a pink stage so the Candy is Dandy really caught my eye but I have to say that That’s What I Mint is a really nice colour too. I would love that colour on my walls. 🙂 Thanks for this awesome review.
I love the colours especially lemon lolly
Those are some sweet colours! I love That’s What I Mint!!
I especially love “Candy is Dandy” (I’m obsessed with pink polish!) and Blue-Berry Sweet on You! 🙂
I love this line! I’ve been trying to win it for some time now, hehe.
Oooh I love these colours! I would have such fun painting my neice’s nails with these! Thanks!
They are all lovely. I think I really like My Cherry Amour
These are such great colours and I love the names!
My favourite shade in the Nicole by OPI Gumdrops Collection is ‘Candy is Dandy’. Interesting that this nail polish is worn without top coat so that it dries to a textured matte finish to give nails a “sugar” coated appearance!
This is a great post, Tenille. Well done! I didn’t realize that I won’t need a top coat with this collection…a time saver. I took a look at the photo of you wearing the yellow…it gives me a good idea of the texture…the colour looks really nice on you!
What a great collection. Love Candy is Dandy! Love the idea that it leaves a textured finish.
These are so pretty! I like the idea of a “sugar-coated” appearance although I, like you, am not that crazy about textured polishes.
I love the sugar finish! Can’t wait to try
So many great shades, love the names and also love that you don’t need to put on a top coat! wow, I guess I have to make a visit to Shopper’s this weekend and remember to hide the ones I purchase from daughter..lol
LOVE THESE!!! want want want. My textured polish collection is slowly growing and these would be a great addition.
Could I make a smooth finish with a topcoat if desired? Options are always good… 😉
I didn’t know there are 2 Shoppers exclusive shades. Thanks for the info
My daughter would love these!
These colors are so much FUN!!
It was hard to pick just one, they all sound so YUMMY! However, Im a huge purple fan so my first instinct was I Lilac Gumdrops, but after more thought I decided that Candy is Dandy , the soft pink and how it looks so shimmery was my favorite. 🙂
Candy is Dandy
This sweet pink is my favorite guilt-free treat…
that’s totaly meéééé
I like that these nailpolishes have a different look from the usual nailpolish. They are a fun summer treat without the calories!
I’m a candy junkie, ask my kids..so I really love ‘I Lilac Gumdrops’. Frosted Lavender sounds so cool and who doesn’t love gumdrops??
Love these colors! Love the Candy is Dandy 🙂
Awesome and colorful collection. I love That’s What I Mint!
Beautiful amazing colours ! LOVE OPI!
I love the range of colors in this group. The “sugar” coated type finish would be interesting to try.
Since my wife has been wearing shades of blues lately I’m guessing she would love Blue-Berry Sweet on You.
I absolutely love all these colors. The names make them even more appealing.
Blue-Berry Sweet on You looks great!
By the way, these sand textured nail polishes come off much easier if you use a good base coat 🙂
Such fun colours!
Great brand, awesome review. I have not tried this brand yet, but have heard great things. Digging the colors !
Love all of these colours!!! My daughter loves Candy is Dandy I like Blue-Berry Sweet on You 🙂
These look like lots of fun!
love the cute names
The names are great and I really think the matte finish is very cool. I can’t wait to try these.
Love, love ,love these colors.The sugar coated finish is a fun idea as well. Will have to run right out and get a bottle. The downside? Well, how exactly do you narrow it down to 1 colour???
They’re all so beautiful, but I think That’s What I Mint is my favorite.
OPI always has such great colours! I especially like “I Lilac Gumdrops But I love this sugar-frosted lavender”. My girls like That’s What I Mint”.
I just love their naming and colors!! I really like that Lemon Lolly a lot!!
These shade looks so nice, they are really representative of the candies colors (plus the sugar coat!)
I am loving the “I Lilac Gumdrops” for a cool summer evening or “candy is dandy” for a hot summer day!
I really like the new shades, the names are so “sweet” makes you really want to eat some candy. OPI makes the most fun shades of nail polish.
I’ll be shopping for My Cherry Amour
I lilac gumdrops is such a pretty shade!
I love all of them but “Blue-Berry Sweet on You” is my current favourite. Love NICOLE by OPI !
These sounds lovely. I have so much nail polish I guess I could add a few more to my collection…LOL
Lemon Lolly looks perfect for summer!
what fun colours! I look forward to painting my nails again since I just went on maternity leave. I work in health care so I don’t usually bother paining my nails, its ruined in one day.
I like Blue-Berry Sweet on You and That’s What I Mint!
I’m loving the purple shade of I lilac gumdrops
I’m not sure about textured polish but I’d love to try it. I think I would be touching it all the time! Lol!
I love to wear blue, so Blue-Berry Sweet on You is fantastic.
I’m a fan of OPI polishes, so when a new collection is unveiled, I’m intrigued.
My Cherry Amour is gorgeous!
Love to try That’s What I Mint (and love your Lemon Lolly / pineapple pic – so fun!)… these are so cool! My daughter would love them too!
So neat-love the names! wish i owned them all!
candy is dandy and usually I am not a pink type person but love the shade
i have not been adventurous enough to try their new texture shades, Keep feeling like I would be snagging everything in sight.
These colors are great but $10.99 each?! Whew! If that means per bottle….I don’t think I’d ever be able to afford it 🙁 I like them but I can find cheaper
I love black nail polish so the Anise Treat would be my fav! (if I could afford it-$10.99?! Ouch)
Blue-Berry Sweet on You is my favourite (I’ll be true to this berry blue hue.) but I love Candy is Dandy too! Not only do I love the colours that OPI have I love the creative names they give the colours!
I can’t wait to try the Cinna-Man of my dreams shade!!!
Candy is dandy will make my 4 year old beg for a mani/pedi!
That’s what I mint..lovely
Those are such cute colors! And OPI is one of my favorite brands as well
Wow, so many pretty colours, it’s hard to pick a favorite! If I had to choose I would say “Candy is Dandy” because I love pink!
I really like these bright colours! They would be great to wear into the Fall. Not having to put on a top coat a bonus too.
I like the colour “Blue-Berry Sweet on You”; and I am sure my daughter would too!
