OPI Hawaii Collection Spring 2015

Hey!! It's been a minute since I've done a blog post! I decided I would do a review/swatches of the OPI Hawaii collection that was released this spring. They're such fun colors, plus they have a couple of neutrals in there too! I did buy these with my own money; I'm not sponsored by OPI in any way--I just thought it would be nice for you guys to see the pretty colors so you can decide if you want to purchase them for yourselves!

You can buy these polishes individually, or there is a sampler pack that comes with just a few of the polishes. I decided to buy all the full sized colors. I purchased mine from ulta.com. So let's get this show on the road!

This is one of my favorites! It's a beautiful creamy orange called "Is Mai Tai Crooked?" As always, OPI has cute little clever names for each of the polishes. This one took two coats to become fully opaque. 

This is another fave! "Aloha From OPI" is a bright orange red. 1-2 coats will give you full opacity.

"Go With the Lava Flow" is a pinkish red with shimmer. It took a good 3 coats to get this one fully opaque. 

"That's Hula-rious" is a pistachio/mint green. It's a very creamy color and was opaque in 2 coats.

"My Gecko Does Tricks" is a bright green with shimmer. Full opacity can be reached in 2-3 coats.

"This Color's Making Waves" is a gorgeous green-blue (teal?) with shimmers. This one was a bit harder to get opaque--it took 3-4 coats, but the color is gorgeous! 

"Do You Take Lei Away?" (the name cracks me up--it took me a minute to catch on but now I giggle everytime I see it) is a brownish nude; I got this opacity with 2 coats. 

"Suzi Shops & Island Hops" is the cutest light pink! I really liked this one! Opaque in 2-3 coats.

I'm completely in love with "Just Lanai-ing Around", some of which may have to do with the name (it's close to mine--LaNae!). It's a beautiful rose colored pink. This one can be paired with any of the other colors in the collection and compliments them so well! This was opaque in 1-2 coats.

"Hello Hawaii Ya?" is a pretty, lavendar purple. Gorgeous color for spring! It is opaque in 1-2 coats. 

"Lost My Bikini in Molokini" is a super fun bright purple--I think this just may be my favorite purple I have in my collection! I would call this a grape purple. It's opaque in 1-2 coats. 

I'm going to confess, "Pineapples Have Peelings Too!" isnt my favorite. It took about 4 coats to get it to this color, and there is still a little bit of patchiness going on. It's a gold with multicolored small glitter and hexagon glitter. 

Also--the polishes that are opaque in 1-2 coats are great for stamping! (I don't think I tried with any of the others). 

They also make for an amazing water marble!

Here are the stamps I did--excuse the fact that some of the "full nail stamps" didn't cover the full nail--I used the largest acrylic nails I have because I have a ton of them and they never get used (since they were apparently made for giant Amazonian woman fingers!). It gives you an idea of how they stamp, though!
