OPI Soft Shades 2016! Full of Pastels!

I'm excited to show this collection today and it's the OPI Soft Shades 2016 collection!

OPI Soft Shades 2016 is a 6 colour collection full of pastel colours! Yeah! My favourite favourite favourite colours and they are all so beautiful!

OPI Soft Shades 2016

Seriously I can't get enough of them. Even though I probably already have dozens of similar shades in my stash, I still can't resist grabbing them all. I will never get bored of pastels!

And because I love all of them, I can't decide which colour to use first so I used all of them together. LOL

OPI Soft Shades 2016 French Tips

Overall I think the colours are beautiful, but the application needs a little work. They are a little sheer and streaky at first, but will even out with more coats. I used 3 coats for all of these.

A bad idea to use 1 of the pastels as the colour for the tips though, as it needed a lot of coats to cover the base colour. In the end it looked kind of thick and gets smudged easily.

I accidentally bumped my index finger while looking through my polish stash and you can see the imperfection there.. Haha.

If you don't already have these, I recommend you to get them now! You need them in your life, just as I do! LOL

OPI Hello Kitty Limited Edition Cherry Blossom Collection

Hey ladies! Today I have swatches of the new OPI Hello Kitty Cherry Blossom Collection!

This is a limited edition collection consisting of 4 girly & basic shades. I haven't seen much swatches of these around so I thought I'll do 1 on my blog!

OPI Showered By Petals


OPI Showered By Petals

OPI Showered By Petals is a pretty basic off-white creme polish. The polish looks very close to pure white but when you compare the polish side with side with a pure white polish, you can see that OPI Showered By Petals is very slightly greyed. Just a very very light hint of grey.

OPI Showered By Petals

OPI Showered By Petals have a creamy application and is not as opaque as pure white polishes.

OPI Dreams Of Spring is a pale light pink creme polish.

The application for this polish is a little streaky and took 3 coats for me to even it out.

OPI Cheery Blooms

OPI Cheery Blooms is a bright tomato red creme polish.

The application for this polish is awesome. Very smooth and opaque. You can easily get away with 1 coat with this polish but I like to apply at least 2 coats for the creamy & fuller look.

Even though this is a limited edition collection, I do feel that the colors are all very basic and common shades.

However they are still kind of necessary colors for base or nail art etc so yea, I would get them anyway for the Hello Kitty wrapper. :)
