OPI San Francisco Collection Part 1

-Press Sample

Happy Monday Everyone!!  I'm back today with six of the beautiful polishes from OPI's San Francisco Collection for Fall & Winter 2013.  OPI's Fall Collection is always my favorite collection each year.  I love darker deeper colors and this collection does not disappoint..  Let's take a look...

A-Piers to be Tan:

A-Piers to be Tan is a light caramel-y tan creme that leans just slightly toward orange.  This isn't a color I would normally wear, but it's pretty nonetheless.  I used two coats in the above photos.

Haven't the Foggiest:

This metallic gray reminds me of an OPI DS color... well, the formula does anyway.  Haven't the Foggiest is a dense silver/gray shimmer with an awesome formula.  Two coats were used.

Lost On Lombard:

Lost On Lombard is a simple brick red creme.  This collection contains two deep red cremes (I'll be sharing First Date at the Golden Gate in my next post).  The formula with Lost On Lombard wasn't the greatest.. it was a bit sheer.  I should have added another coat, but I used 2 coats in the above 3 pics.

Peace & Love & OPI:

Peace & Love & OPI is really quite stunning.  It has a grey/silver base with a green and purple duochrome effect.  Your nails will be constantly shifting while wearing this one.  The formula was perfect... another two-coater with Peace & Love & OPI!

Embarca-Dare Ya!:

I just love Embarca-Dare Ya!  It's a magenta shimmer with tiny golden flecks.  My pictures don't do this one justice.  I love pinks and this deep shiny pink is just gorgeous!!  Again, great formula.. two coats!

Keeping Suzi at Bay:

Keeping Suzi at Bay is such an amazing blue!  These pictures captured it a bit lighter than it actually is.  Keeping Suzi at Bay isn't quite navy, but close.  The formula is a bit sheer, which is odd for a color this rich, but I still only used two coats.  And... this one had minimal staining which is always a plus with a deep blue polish.  Keeping Suzi at Bay is a keeper!!
