OPI Hawaii Collection

*Press Sample*

Hello!  I'm so excited for today's post.  I have the OPI Hawaii collection for you.  This is a 12 piece collection so I'm going to dive right in.  Our weather here has been a little off so I tried to get a sun and shade picture for each polish but some have just a shade shot because it was overcast.

First up is OPI Do You Take Lei Away.  This is two coats and top coat.  The formula was very good, easy to control and very even.  I have perfect mannequin hands when I wear this.

This is OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops.  This needed three coats to be opaque and even.  The formula and application are about what you expect with pale pinks.

Here is OPI Is Mai Tai Crooked?  Surprisingly I loved this one.  It's a nice soft orangey color.  I used two coats and top coat for the photos.  Fantastic formula for this.

This is OPI Aloha From OPI.  This was super smooth and easy to apply, two coats and top coat made it perfect.

Next is OPI Lost My Bikini in Molokini.  This is my favorite type of purple, not too dark and not too light.  I used two coats and top coat.  The formula on this was just like the others in this collection.

Here is OPI My Gecko Does Tricks.  This one needed three coats to even out.  As you can see it is a bit brush strokish but not anything super terrible.

OPI Hello Hawaii Ya? is one of my favorites from this collection, a nice dusty purple.  I used two coats and top coat for this.

Next is OPI This Color's Making Waves.  I love this polish!  I needed three coats for it to be opaque.  It was hard to capture all the shiny goodness of this one.

OPI Pineapples Have  Peelings Too! is an odd duck of a polish.  I like the base color but it has brush stroke issues as well.  The little glitters came freely out of the bottle.  I had to work a bit harder for the larger pieces.  I used three coats and top coat.

Next up is OPI That's Hula-rious!, a nice pale minty green.  Like the pink above this one needed three coats to fully even out.  Totally worth it because it's so pretty.

This is OPI Just Lanai-ing Around.  I used two coats for this polish.  It has a lovely shimmer to it.

Lastly we have my favorite of the bunch, OPI Go With the Lava Flow.  Great formula and application.  Two coats and it was perfect.  I love a good shimmer.

Have a great day guys!  I appreciate you stopping by and reading.

  4. Are Zoya Tiana and OPI That's Hula-rious dupes? Which has a better formula?
