The Nic's Stiks I got were in Express-Ion of Love, Red Eye to NY and Indigo-Go-Go! (top to bottom).
The polish comes out of a brush and you click the bottom like a pen to get more of the color. The brush is a little shorter than the Nicole and OPI bottles and it's a bit difficult to get close to the cuticle because of the thickness. The brush thickness does make the polishing quick and the formula on all but Indigo-Go-Go! was opaque in one coat.

The OPI colors I got were in Can You Tapas This? and Conga-Line Coral. Both pretty colors. Tapas is a nice chocolate brown and the Coral is a shimmery pink orange color. I'm probably going to pair it with my OPI Black Shatter as soon as it comes in.

I also got the essie topcoat matte about you which transforms polish to a matte finish. It's super pretty over anything with sparkle and makes it pearly. It also looks great over sparkly polishes. I've wanted this for about a year now and this is actually the first time I came across it in person and for three dollars how could I not buy it? I also bought shine-e, which is described as a polish refresher. I'm not sure exactly what that does but I'm going to try applying it every other day over my next manicure, as the box suggested. I'll report the results in a review post.

I do realize this is not the best demonstration of the awesome-ness that is matte about you but look for it in future manicure posts.
