My top picks from this collection are Me My Selfie & I, Feeling Frisco and Barking Up The Wrong Sequoia!

Left to right : Malibu Pier Pressure, Me, Myselfie & I , Santa Monica Beach Peach and Time For A Napa.

Malibu Pier Pressure is a bubble gum pink with a creme finish. Sheer and streaky coverage in 2 coats, but opaque in 3.

Me, Myselfie & I is a red-orange with a creme finish. It was a little bit sheer on the first coat but perfect with the second coat!

Santa Monica Beach Peach is a bright orange with a creme finish. This color give a nice coverage with 2 coats, but 3 coats is ideal.

Time For A Napa is a peachy coral with a creme finish. Time For A Napa is streaky with 2 coats, but 3 thin coats did the trick!

Left to right : Excuse Me, Big Sur!, Barking Up The Wrong Sequoia, Feeling Frisco and Sweet Carmel Sunday.

Excuse Me, Big Sur! is a rose nude with a creme finish. I only needed 2 coats for complete coverage!

Barking Up The Wrong Sequoia is a light peach with a creme finish. I got great coverage with 2 coats, but this shade looks best with 3 coats.

Feeling Frisco is a light yellow toned beige with a creme finish. The formula is fantastic, I got full coverage in two coats and the finish is very smooth!

Sweet Carmel Sunday is a copper bronze with a metallic finish. This one is quite opaque, I needed 2 coats for complete coverage. I noticed a few streaks though.

Left to right : GPS I Love You, This Is Not Whine Country, To The Mouse House We Go! and Don't Take Yosemite For Granite.

GPS I Love You is a hot pink with a creme finish. This color is opaque in 2 coats but still a bit streaky for my liking, I prefer to apply 3 coats.

This Is Not Whine Country is a magenta red with a creme-jelly finish. The formula is similar to To The Mouse House We Go!, it's a bit sheer with 2 coats so it looks best with 3 thin coats.

To The Mouse House We Go! is a bright warm-toned red with a creme-jelly finish. This red is still a bit sheer with 2 coats, but it's very pigmented and not streaky.

Don't Take Yosemite For Granite is a gunmetal taupe with a metallic finish. The formula is perfect, completely opaque in 2 coats and non-streaky!

The OPI Nail Lacquers retail for $13.50 CAD for 15ml and are available at Professional Salons and Ulta.
