OPI Nice Stems Collection: Swatches & Review

OPI has a new four piece collection for early summer called Nice Stems! themed for pretty pink hues we see in flower blooms. There are three opaque polishes and one multi-colored top coat that can be layered on top of the others to create fun new looks or worn by itself for a sheer look with glints of glitter. I love the OPI pro-wide brush and pink, so this collection already has some great pluses in my opinion!

First up is Play the Peonies, a shy shell pink with a glint of pearl shimmer. This kind of color isn't always my first choice, but this polish is delightfully delicate and one of my new favorite light shades. It covers beautifully in two coats with no streaky difficulties! Perfect for a wedding day manicure or really, any day! Peonies are my second favorite flower too, so that is another pro to this polish :)
Next is Come to Poppy, a coral tinged dark pink with a pearly shine. I really fell head over heels with this one, it just melted on my tips, like it was made for me! Perfect in two coats. And poppies are my number one favorite flower, yay!
Be a Dahlia Won’t You? is the next full color lacquer in this collection, a shimmering foil fuchsia pink with a slight duochrome at the edges might pull a bit blue at times--definitely hard to capture on camera. This had a thinner formula and pigment than the other creamier polishes so I used three coats, 'twas to be expected with a shimmer/foil really.
And last is the kicker, I Lily Love You, a confetti multi-colored glitter top coat. This is pink jelly based, giving your nails a blush hue when used alone. The glitter here is a bit different than I've seen OPI use before. I would compare it to the glitter in Color Club's Covered in Diamonds only smaller and more varied in size and shape. It's thick so apply with care. Here is three coats on it's own. (I smudged it on my pointer a tad :P)
And here is two thin coats of I Lily Love You over Be a Dahlia Won't You? I love how it looks just like the bottle shade!
This collection is über girly and très feminine. A sure hit with the ladies I know!

OPI Nice Stems! collection Sneak Peek

Summer Pinks in Bloom!

Nice Stems! by OPI Revamps Nails with Vibrant Pink Hues for Summer 2011

Stop and see the flowers with summer’s Nice Stems! by OPI, a limited edition collection featuring four new nail lacquers in stunning shades of pink. With whimsical names based on their floral inspirations, these vibrant, flirty colors range from pale, frosty pink to rich fuchsia. Nice Stems! offers fingers and toes a perfectly pink shade for all of summer’s looks.

“These vibrant, feminine hues complement 60’s ladylike fashions, 70’s glam looks, and bold color-blocking, which are the season’s staples,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “The Nice Stems! collection also offers an interesting contrast and feminine accent to the punk and biker looks on the runways.”
Nice Stems! by OPI shades include:

Play the Peonies
We’d put our money on this lovely soft-pink.
Come to Poppy
Surrender to shine with this shimmering coral-pink.
Be a Dahlia Won’t You?
Give the gift of fabulous fuchsia—to yourself!
I Lily Love You
Fall head over heels with this light pink sparkle.

“Using different micas and glitters can give lacquer a 3-dimensional look,” adds Weiss-Fischmann. “I Lily Love You is a glitter coat that can be layered over any of the other three shades to add a bright sparkle; or, it can be worn on its own for a subtle tint of pink with strands of glitter.”

The Nice Stems! Nail Lacquers by OPI contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application.

This limited edition Nice Stems! collection will be available beginning June 2011 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $8.50 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer.
