OPI Texas Collection Swatches (partial)

by - 05 February

I ended up with 2/3 of the Texas collection, which is a giant leap from the three I originally planned to get. Typical, eh? There's something about seeing the bottles in person that just makes me want one of everything. Words of a true addict. :)



I'll start with the jellies. Two coats of each.






Do You Think I'm Tex-y? Berry pink.







Guy Meets Gal-veston. Coral. This one is 3 coats.







Houston We Have a Purple. Red-toned purple. Totally reminds me of Miami Beet.







Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em. Red-toned hot pink.





First of all, it kind of bugs me that OPI claims to have created this new, innovative finish called the "sorbet-like look." Really, OPI? They're jellies. Awesome jellies, but jellies just the same. Second, what an awkward term. Sorbet-like look? Even the chick in their promo video had a tough time saying it repeatedly. *gigantic eye roll*



Moving on...2 coats of each






Austin-tatious Turquoise. Teal with bright blue/violet flecked shimmer.







Don't Mess With OPI. Dusty green. It's a little more grassy than my picture.







I Vant To Be A-Lone Star. Yay, another pale blue for Spring. This one has a relatively obvious silver shimmer. It's definitely not as secretive as China Glaze Sea Spray's shimmer.







It's Totally Fort Worth It. Pearly grey with pink shimmer. The pink is visible on the nail, I just didn't capture it. The brushstrokes aren't as obvious once the polish is dry. I'm wearing this as a full mani now and will have better pictures soon.








A few of the colors are more interesting than I anticipated. I don't think any of these are must-haves for me. If you're a jelly lover, you should definitely check the pink/coral half of this collection.

    I really wish I would've been more excited about this collection, but I guess it's just not supposed to be. While all the colours are pretty, I don't think there's any standing out as being super duper special - and I'm a jelly lover. I just prefer blue and green jellies, not your average pink and reds ;) I'm thrilled OPI made the Katy Perry collection with some special shades - so I hope I can get my hands on those instead! Thanks for the beautiful swatches, it is nice to see all the pink jellies in one post.
