OPI: Fall 2015 Venice Collection Swatches & Review

Ciao miei amori! Supposedly that means “hello my loves!” in Italian (accoring to Google Translate) which I thought was a fitting greeting for today’s post. I have OPI’s Venice Collection to show you!

Make sure to come back tomorrow as well. I know how much you guys like comparison posts and I will have comparisons of this collection posted for you! I know I don’t get the opportunity to post comparisons often but I try to do them for OPI polishes at least since that’s what is most often requested!

For now, check out the latest OPI pretties!

“I Cannoli Wear OPI” is a super pale gray creme. Decent formula but not the best. It evens out well in 3 coats but is slightly streaky in 2. I did 3 here.

“Amore At The Grand Canal” is a slightly blue-toned red creme. 2 coats.

“Tiramisu For Two” is a perfectly balanced nude. It’s not too pink-toned or too yellow-toned. It’s right in the middle. Great formula also. 2 coats.

“A Great Opera-tunity” is a brown-toned peachy nude creme. Do I love this or do I hate this? I’m not sure. It’s a bit old-fashioned but the creme formula makes it modern. The color isn’t one you see around very often. I kind of want to like it but it gives me slight lobster hands in real life. I just can’t decide. That aside, great formula. I’m kinda curious to see what others thing of it! 2 coats.

“Be There In A Prosecco” is a putty colored off-white creme. This may not have the greatest formula ever but I was able to get by with 2 coats using a really light hand. You may have to apply 3 depending on your application method.

“Purple Palazzo Pants” is a slightly muted lilac creme. Great formula, lovely color! 2 coats.

“Gelato on My Mind” is a pale robin’s egg blue crelly. Well if this isn’t perfection, I don’t know what is. The name, the color, the formula. I always love when paler colors are released with crelly formulas. They are still opaque enough to cover the same way as a creme but the formula is almost always better. 2 perfect coats.

“It’s A Piazza Cake” is a muted burnt sienna creme. I live for this orange. I don’t wear oranges often for some reason but I always love them on my nails. This is perfection for Autumn. I did 2 coats.

“Baroque… But Still Shopping!” is a pale gold foil with matching metallic glitter bits. I like the idea but the glitter bits make this appear chunky and weird so I can’t see myself reaching for this anytime soon. I did 2 coats.

“Worth A Pretty Penne” is a pale copper foil. This is definitely unique to my collection. Love this in a Fall collection. Great formula too. 2 coats but it’s a one-coater.

“Venice The Party?” is a bright shimmering cyan blue metallic. It’s loaded with lots of bright turquoise shimmer. This is awesome and quite unique for OPI. The formula is wonderful and so easy to use. 2 coats.

“St. Mark’s The Spot” is a vibrant deep cobalt blue metallic. Lovely color and formula but I’m afraid it may be a stainer. I’ll have to test out this theory so check back for my findings. I did 2 coats here but it’s a one-coater.

“O Suzi Mio” is a deep plum creme. Not super unique but nice formula and color. 2 coats.

“My Gondola Or Yours?” has a black creme base with lots of very fine silver shimmer. Great formula, so edgy. Love it. 2 coats.

“Gimme A Lido Kiss” has a warm red crelly base with subtle copper and red glass flecks and pink shimmer. Warm and lovely. It’s nice to have a little spiced up red for a Fall collection. 2 coats.

OPI polishes can be purchased at professional salons including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, Ulta.com and Ulta as well as a lot of other retailers and online. Don’t forget to follow OPI on Facebook for all the OPI news!

Which one is your favorite? Are you digging the Italian theme? What is a region you’ve always wanted OPI to name a Collection after?

Since it’s my homeland, I think it would be amazing to have a Pacific Northwest themed collection! Could you imagine, for Fall, lush greens, cloudy grays, warm golds, bold blues etc! Ok, OPI, get on this… :)
