OPI Swiss Collection Swatches Part I: Cremes

CLICK HERE For OPI Swiss Collection Swatches Part II: Shimmers

Here are some swatches of the OPI Swiss collection that I got from my neighborhood discount nail supply store.  Just like China Glaze's fall offering called Vintage Vixen, OPI features 12 glamorous shades that celebrate both fall and the country Switzerland. The difference between the two collections is that OPI chose to have six creme shades and six glitter/shimmer shades, just like Zoya's Wicked and Wonderful collections. In this entry, I will be discussing the cremes.

Shade

Ski Teal We Drop is a very pretty medium to dark (depending on the number of coats) blue-green, but of course is more blue than green. I love these kinds of shades as it reminds me of a darker MAC Blue India but of course without the grey undertones. Very appealing color to my eyes.



OPI from A to Z-urich is surprisingly nice on my skintone. It is a berry color that I thought would look too mature but is actually nice and perky on my skin.



OPI Color So Hot It Berns is a nice coral-red, and it actually looks more like a summer color than a fall shade to me. Would have been nicer if the coral aspect is replaced with a blue-based red, but then that's just me.



OPI Just A Little Rosti At This is plummy color that I really like. It really complements my skintone. One of my favorites from the Cremes.



OPI I'm Suzi and I'm a Choco-Holic: it is not obvious in this photo, but in real life, this is really a red-brown. It has significant tones of red that bothered me a little, as I am a fan of straight browns or cool browns. Anyways, this is my manicure for the day and it looks nice on my skintone, but I just wish the red tones aren't there.



OPI William Tell Me About OPI is an eggplant burgundy. Gorgeous for fall and the smooth finish is amazing.

I am back to loving OPI's formula for this collection. Gone is the thick, goopy, unbelievably hard-to-apply texture and formula from the OPI Hongkong collection. The formula is now noticeably thinner, smoother, and a lot, lot easier to apply. I am elated to find that they don't have the HongKong formula anymore. The cremes are smooth, not streaky, and were quite easy to apply. These are opaque in two coats.

The Shades Of U Rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars
