This July 2012, Nicole by OPI is releasing two Kardashian Kolor Pretty Petites ($12 USD / $15 CAD), two mini packs of four best-selling shades each.  I know that these shades are very popular, and hard to get, so if you’ve missed out on a couple shades in the full size, you may want to pick up one of these sets!

The first set, Celeb-bitties, is a warmer, more pink-toned set with 2 creams, 1 shimmer and 1 glitter polish. Sophisti-cuties is a cooler, more autumn-appropriate set containing three creams and one glitter polish.  These sets are a great and affordable way to grow your nail color collection, but keep in mind the bottles are super tiny, with only 1/8th of an ounce in each (regular sized polishes usually contain about 1/2 an ounce).  I do find them easier to apply to petite nails though, because the brush is also smaller.

These little babies are TINY!

Nicole by OPI polishes are one of my favourites, lasting around 4 days without chipping (with a base & top coat).  Of course, I like a few shades out of each set the best, but if I had to choose my favorite, I’d go with Celeb-bitties.  The set includes:

• All Kendall-ed Up: A super pigmented and bold pink cream. One of the best quality polishes out of all the collections- only needing 1-2 coats for a perfect finish. This color is definitely “me”
• Kim-pletely in Love: A nice spin on the traditional sheer pink- this one has a tiny bit of an iridescent sparkle (so fine though, its hard to see). A nice, sophisticated shade that looks great on french tips!
• Sealed with a Kris: A deep, blood-red (seriously, it was a bit creepy!).  This one was quite streaky, and took 3 coats for a nice finish. Not my favorite, but I think I’d sport this in the cooler months.
• Wear Something Spar-Kylie: Even though I hate how hard glitter polish is to come off, I’m head over heels for this one! It’s so bright and fun! I love the deep pink shade, and best of all it only takes two coats. Love it!

RATING: A-

The Sophisti-cuties set includes:

• My Empire… My Rules: I’m not a fan of this shade at all.. it’s streaky, and I think it just looks like mud. Honestly, I thought “this is a best seller!?” when putting it on. I have to admit though, it looks better when its opaque, but still I don’t think it’s for me.
• Follow Me on Glitter: I’m also loving this one! I love pewter tones, and this one is a grey glitter with larger chunks of multicolour flecks. So unique!
• Khloé Had a Little Lam-Lam: This dark teal is definitely right up my alley… if you want to get into colors but don’t want to go bright and bold, try a deep, sultry shade like this.
• Hard-Kourt Fashionista: This super dark brownish red shade is definitely a vampy, sultry shade. It’s going to be super hot for fall, I just know it.

RATING: B+

Summary

• Price: $12 USD / $15 CAD for 4 x 3.75mL (each set)
• Availability: Drugstores, Wal-Mart & other Nicole by OPI retailers (July 2012)
• Overall: While I do prefer full-size polishes (these little ones seem to literally get lost in my collection), its a fun and economical way to up your color collection! I think they are fairly good quality overall, some needing 2-3 coats while others just need 1-2… I definitely prefer Celeb-bitties a tad more because its more bright, vivid and pink… but Sophisti-cuties is still fabulous and I’ll be using them more this fall.
• Rating: A- Overall (individual sets rated above)
