Nice Stems!

OPI's fabulous spring collection has me simply tickled pink! Their new Nice Stems collection contains four gorgeous pink polishes that are all different, yet flattering on all skintones!

As a lover of pink, when I first took a look at the four shades, I was immediately happy and literally jumped for joy (you can ask my fiance)!  Below are swatches of what each color looks like on the nail.



















Be A Dahlia Won’t You is probably my fave hue in the collection.  It's a bit hard to capture in a picture, as the polish contains crystalline flecks throughout, and almost gives off a chrome finish with the slightest hint of blue. It's definitely a unique polish and I can certainly see myself wearing this constantly for the next few weeks!
















I Lily Love You
is beautiful either alone, or as a topcoat for any other shade (time to experiment!) The color contains holographic glitter and confetti--it's basically a pink party in a bottle! Woohoo!  What I like about this color is that it not only delivers loads of glitter, but also has a gel-esque base to it that can be built up for added color if you choose to wear it on its own.















Play the Peonies
(which actually looks amazing underneath I Lily Love You) is a pretty, dainty pale pink shade. It's the tiniest bit shimmery, though I wouldn't call it a shimmer polish per se.  That said, it does have to a bit of a pearlescent glow. I love that the pink is understated in this polish--it's pretty much the lightest you can go without being white.  It's a great color for right now, but will also be fab after we've had a little more sun and warm weather because it definitely shows off a tan!















Come to Poppy
is another pink that i'll most likely use constantly.  It's a warm-based pink with a touch of coral to it. The hue also contains a little shimmer (again though, is not a "shimmer polish") and applies like a dream.  This particular polish really only required one medium-thick coat for full opacity, so it's good for when you only have a couple minutes to redo your nails!

I love this collection so much! If you want to purchase any of the amazing colors, you can pick 'em up at professional salons and spas nationwide including national chains Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA.
