OPI Summer 2015 Brights Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

I have a few OPI collections to show you in the coming week!  Some have already released and some will be releasing within the coming months.  Tonight I will be showing you the OPI Brights Collection.

The OPI Brights Collection will be releasing this May and consists of 6 new OPI colors, plus 3 core essentials which were in the OPI Neons collection from last Summer (Life Gave Me Lemons, Hotter Than You Pink and Down To The Core-al)

Let’s take a look at the 6 vivid shades!

Can’t Hear Myself Pink

Can’t Hear Myself Pink is a shimmering metallic pink.  This is a fairly sheer polish but did build up nicely in 3 coats.  Minor brush strokes are visible in application.

I Sea You Wear OPI

I Sea You Wear OPI is a shimmery, iridescent blue metallic.  In the bottle you can see a slight blue to pink shift in the shimmer, but unfortunately it didn’t translate to the nail for me at all.

 I Sea You Wear OPI is a fairly sheer shade as well but builds up easily .  I used 3 coats for these photos.

The Berry Thought Of You

The Berry Thought Of You is my favorite of the collection.  This is a bright, vivid medium berry creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

I STOP For Red

I STOP For Red is the brightest creme in the collection.  This is an orange toned bright red creme.  Application was good, but I could still see VNL in 2 coats, so I used 3 coats for these photos.

My Car Has Navy-gation

My Car Has Navy-gation is a dark, vibrant navy blue creme.  I used 3 thin coats for these photos.

Overall this is a very nice color and application was pretty good but.. as some of you know certain blue pigments can smell different and this one polish had a slight skunky smell to me.  I’m not too sensitive to scents or polish smells, but when I started applying it I thought a skunk sprayed nearby and it was just starting to drift in through the open window.  I soon realized it was the polish.  So – slight warning there.

On Pinks & Needles

On Pinks & Needles is a glitter top coat with various sizes of hot pink matte hex glitters.  I used 1 coat over My Car Has Navy-gation.

I wasn’t sure about this color combo at first, but once it was on I really liked it!

And then I decided to add a matte top coat…

Overview

Overall this is a nice, vibrant collection.  The colors aren’t overly unique and I’m sure I have dupes of almost all of them in my collection.  Application wise, 3 of the 6 were on the sheerer side – but it is recommended to layer these shades over a white base to make the colors pop (I didn’t do a white base to show the colors on their own)

The Berry Thought Of You is definitely my favorite of the bunch.
