Recently when flicking through the channels on a Sunday evening I saw the new OPI Hawaii collection being advertised on QVC. I resisted purchasing then and there but couldn't stop thinking about how pretty the collection looked, so the next day I caved and bought the set of minis! It was a complete bargain on
Beauty Bay for only £10.15 (on offer from £14.50).
I don't usually buy sets of nail polish as I never seem to really like every single colour, but this collection is an exception: the set contains (from left to right)
"Suzi Shops & Island Hops" a pale pink with mauve undertones, like Essie 'Fiji' but with more depth and less white-ness,
"That's Hula-Rious!", a pastel mint green..aka the ideal Spring shade
"Lost My Bikini In Molokini"..This is a purple with a hint of royal blue to it, apparently inspired by the reef. It's a really good one for this Winter into Spring transition.
and finally... "Aloha from OPI" a bright coral-orange which i'm saving for the peak of summer as I think it will look really good with dresses and a tan.
This is what each of the colours look like after two coats. As you may be able to see, the purple is the most opaque, closely followed by the coral, whilst the pastel shades would ideally benefit from a third coat for them to gain complete opacity. Nevertheless, the formulation of these is pretty fantastic, they are extremely easy to apply even with the mini sized brush and I was really impressed with how shiny they looked- my nails could've been mistaken for gels!
I've never come across such an all-round great nail set where every shade is a real asset to your collection. It's also excellent value for money for only £10 considering that's the price of one full size shade- definitely worth picking up!
