Press Sample
Good morning, readers, and HAPPY EASTER! I’m off enjoying family time so I’ve scheduled this post ahead of time for you guys so it didn’t get pushed until next weekend. The OPI New Orleans Collection is super colorful, fun, and great for nail art! I’ve shown you a few looks using them over the past few weeks (here, here, and here!) and today we get to see them swatched alone. “New Orleans Collection by OPI features 12 gorgeous new nail lacquers and matching GelColors that take nails and toes from beignets at Café du Monde all the way to nightcaps on Bourbon Street in style. Sweet, spicy, soulful and vibrant, the palette is perfect for a town where parades pop up everywhere, and dancing in the streets is de rigueur.”
OPI Take a Right on Bourbon
An intoxicatingly, warm metallic pewter.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat.
While a pretty shade, the frosty formula leaves visible brushstrokes.
OPI Let Me Bayou a Drink
This refreshing blush pink is my treat.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat.
Loving the shimmer in this pale shade! There were some lighter patches still visible on the nail after three coats, though.
OPI Suzi Nails New Orleans
This light, bright pink hits the spot for chic.
I’m showing three coats below with top coat. Slight patchiness after three coats.

Really loving this color!

There was slight visible nail line at 2 coats, so that’s why I added a third.
How cute is this name?! 
OPI Crawfishin’ for a Compliment
This light, creamy orange is perfect on me, isn’t it?

I had high hopes for this color but still had uneven patches at three coats.
OPI I’m Sooo Swamped!
This verdant, creamy green is drenched in style.

This was almost completely opaque at two coats so more generous coats may work best.

Make a date with this china blue crème.
I’m showing two coats below with top coat.
This is one of my favorites from the collection! I had no staining upon removal.
OPI Show Us Your Tips!

This has a more sheer formula but the shimmer is able to shine through and it’s lovely!

Throw me nothing but this luscious purple crème!
