Here's the bunch:
 |
| OPI Fiji collection - Spring/Summer 2017 |
I swatched the lightest colours first - just in case that some of the darker colours would stain my cuticles :D
Please note that I'm wearing a layer of topcoat on all of my swatches.
First one up is Coconuts over OPI:
 |
| Coconuts over OPI, 2 coats |
A soft creamy taupe. Easy application, covered in two coats. It's not my colour but I can see that I could actually wear this if I wanted to.
Moving on to Suzi without a Paddle:
 |
| Suzi without a Paddle, 2 coats |
It's a pale blue creme. I used two coats for this mani, but I should have used three. It's streaky so you don't want to put too big a pressure on that brush when you apply.
Polly want a Lacquer?:
 |
| Polly want a Lacquer?, 2 coats |
A soft lilac creme. It's sheer, it's thin and it's streaky. This is two coats but I should have applied a third coat really. It's a nice colour even though the formula didn't impress me.
Getting Nadi on my Honeymoon:
 |
| Getting Nadi on my Honeymoon, 3 coats |
A soft pink creme. This acts just like its sister above. Thin, streaky and sheer formula. I used three coats for my mani and I still wasn't fully satisfied! Grr!
No Tan Lines:
 |
| No Tan Lines, 3 coats |
A bright orange creme. I love the colour. The formula acted up a bit streaky so I had to apply three coats to even it all out. The polish dries up at least one tone darker than it looks in the bottle.
Exotic Birds do not Tweet:
 |
| Exotic Birds do not Tweet, 4 coats |
A bright yellow creme and a true diva - like many other of her yellow sisters. The formula was super streaky and I ended up with four coats before I was happy with it. It's a bright happy colour though, but for the patient girls :D
Two-Timing the Zones:
 |
| Two-Timing the Zones, 2 coats |
A super sweet pink creme. This one has a great formula that just glides onto the nails effortlessly. I used two easy coats for this mani. The colour is just amazing!
Living on the Bula-Vard:
 |
| Living on the Bula-Vard, 2 coats |
Bright juicy coral. Holy moly, what a great looking polish! I used two easy coats for my mani and had no issues with the formula.
I can never Hut up!:
 |
| I can never Hut up!, 2 coats |
Grey with turqouise shimmer, OPI calls it iridescent. The formula is good, and I ended up with only two coats. I love the shimmer but unfortunately it's shy in ordinary daylight.
I had to take a photo with flash to make the shimmer pop for you:

Is that a Spear in your Pocket?:
 |
| Is that Spear in your Pocket?, 2 coats |
Teal leaning green creme. The formula is great and I used two easy coats for my swatch. The colour is really good, and I wish all OPI's polishes had a formula like this.
Super Trop-i-cal-i-fiji-istic:
 |
| Super Trop-i-cal-i-fiji-istic, 2 coats |
Bright blue creme. And ha, they spelled the name wrong on my bottle: Super Trip-i-cal-i-fiji-istic. I kind of like that better :D The formula is great and so is the coverage. Two coats is what it took. I am really pleased with this polish, even though I don't really want to say the name out loud!
Do you Sea what I Sea?:
 |
| Do you Sea what I Sea?, 2 coats |
Bright blue shimmer. Ooh, I love this. The formula is good and I got full coverage in two coats. It's really bright and happy!
Which one is your favourite of these?
My favourite is definetly Do you sea what I sea? 😍
ReplyDeleteIt's my favourite too, it's sooo beautiful! <3
Delete4, 5, 6, 7 and the blue ones - my picks :)
ReplyDeleteThe blue ones are super gorgeous! :)
DeleteWell done! My favorites on you are Living on the Bula-Vard, Is That a Spear in Your Pocket (gah, hate this name, why must OPI employ that kind of corny, undignified titillation -- especially for such a great color?), and Susi Without a Paddle, which looks so pretty and fresh on your nails... in fact, if I had to choose one for myself, that's the one I'd pick, despite the formula.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is with OPI and silly names, they have so many of them! O_o
DeleteSuzy without a Paddle is a good pick, despite the irritating formula! :D
Thank you so much! ♥
Some of these are nice but I think they are quite samey - OPI must have released other colours like these previously? Great swatches and the yellow looks nice despite being a diva ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteYellows are divas as a rule, in my opinions :D But I like them anyway!
And yes, I'm pretty sure that we've seen some of these before with other names :) I with they'd release holos again! :D
I think the yellow one is my favourite! I actually managed to get it to cover in 2 thick coats but that was in a skittle so it was only one nail.
ReplyDeleteI have a problem with too thick coats, because the polish doesn't seem to actually dry. I could have done it here, where I am only swatching, but I wanted to make a true picture of it as if I was actually wearing it :)
DeleteWow, so many pretty polishes in one post! I love the pastels but then I also love the orange and the red :D
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to pick one favourite of this bunch :D
