Hi you guys!
It's finally April which means... spring collection releases!
Today I am going to share with you OPI's new Soft Shades collection for 2016: Pastels!!
Yay! I am so excited! I am in love with this collection and I don't think I need to explain myself... It's pretty obvious, right?
Anyways, this collection contains six cream polishes, all in gorgeous pastel colors. Overall, the formula is good for all of the polishes but I find it them a bit watery. So there might be a risk of cuticle flooding.
First up is "Stop I'm Blushing!". This is a light peachy pink color. It look more pink in the bottle and a bit more peachy when applied to the nail. You need three thin coats for full coverage. I think this is my favorite of the entire collection. It's really yummy!
"It's a Boy!" is the perfect light blue polish. The formula is good, a bit watery like I mentioned before, with full coverage in three thin coats.
Next up is "This Cost Me a Mint". This is a mint green polish but it is almost a teeny, tiny bit dirty in the tone. That sounded wierd. This is hard to explain! I hope you understand by looking at the swatch and the video below. Also good formula and full coverage in three thin coats!
"I Am What I Amethyst" is your perfect purple pastel. The closest I had to a dupe with this one was "You're Such A Budapest" but it isn't that close. Budapest is a lot darker. This is my second favorite and I felt like the formula was a bit better for this one and you can get a nice and even result in two coats.
"It's in the Cloud" is a off-white polish with beige undertones. The closest I had to a dupe for this one was "Be there in a Prosecco" and that really isn't close at all. I think that "My boyfriend scales walls" might be more alike "It's in the Cloud" but I can't find it where I store my polishes?! Lol, where has it gone? Three thin coats for full coverage.
Last but not least, "One Chic Chick" (I have spelled this name wrong like 100 times already... Lol). I usually don't wear yellow nail polish but this one feels so fresh! I have nothing close to a dupe for this one. Love, love, love!
And... I've tried something new for this collection. I've made a Youtube video... Where you can see my face! How crazy is this?! Lol. The video contains a review of each polish followed by live swatches. I also mention comparisons with other colors. I speak Swedish in the video but there are English subs that you can turn on so that all our readers can understand what I am saying. I hope you guys like it!
