"nickel slick"

Posted by Yatooka on March 17, 2001

Would anyone know the meaning and origin of this phrase? I had an older relative look at a picture of someone that looked sharp but untrustable and she said, "He looks nickel slick!". I have the general idea of what it means but am interested in a specific meaning and maybe the origin. Thanks.
