As OPI’s new spring
collection hit salons yesterday, you could find me at my favorite local
beauty supply store scooping up as many of the Holland Collection
colors that I could score! I’ll be back on Friday to get the rest once
they re-stock, but I just can’t wait to share these awesome colors—an
assortment of vibrant hues mixed with spring-y shimmering polishes.
Sorry about the photo quality—working on getting a better camera!

A Roll in the Hague:
I’ve kept my fingertips bright and cheery this winter, but this fun
orange offers a burst of color that lets everyone know my mind is
already on summer. (Please excuse my shiny cuticles and sloppy
polishing on this one!)
|
| Did you ‘Ear About Van Gogh: I just picked up a bottle of Skull and Glossbones after seeing it on Wendy’s toes, so when I laid eyes on this polish it looked like a dupe (but I had to have it anyway!). I was pleasantly surprised when it came out to be a lighter beige—sandy bisque, as described by OPI. |  |  |

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes:
I just have to say, I am in LOVE with the shimmer in this rosy-brown
polish. It’s a little more muted than I usually like in my pinks and
reds, but the shimmer kicks it up a notch with just a hint of gold.

Kiss Me On My Tulips: A
bright, bright pink, and my favorite to apply—the lacquer goes on
completely smooth with a glossy finish. I’ve heard that this is very
close to a Nicole by OPI shade, All Kendall-ed Up, although I don’t
personally own that one. Check out the The PolishAholic for some photos and a side-by-side comparison.

Pedal Faster Suzi:
I’m a sucker for all things pink and love the pastel-y shimmer in
Pedal Faster Suzi [Sidebar—how cool would it be to name nail polishes
named after yourself??]. Similar in color to a couple coats of
Princesses Rule, but without the extra sparkle for a more toned-down
look. It took two coats to achieve opacity.

Red Lights Ahead … Where?: Sorry
for the terrible photo...it doesn't do the color justice. Personally,
this is my least favorite of the collection so far—it's a harsh red that
I don't usually wear. The formula also seemed a little thin for me; two
coats still left sheer patches on some nails.

Wooden Shoe Like to Know:
I wasn't expecting to like this color, but now I'm hooked—it's a muted, earthy brown/taupe with a great golden shimmer |
Still anxiously waiting to buy Vampsterdam, Thanks a Windmillion, Dutch ‘Ya Just Love OPI, I Don’t Give a Rotterdam and I Have a Herring Problem—more reviews and swatches to come!
