OPI Summer 2009: Sunbelievable Collection

A collection of four sunny, beachy shades for summer! Less talk, more pics!



Banana Bandanna. Say "yellow" to this sunny shade! This is a very soft, buttery pastel yellow. Less muted/whitish than Nubar Lemon Sorbet. It looks like a creme, but it has a hidden shimmer. If you look closely in the bottle, you can see the shimmer, but you can't tell it's there on the nail.


If The Fuchsia Fits. ...Wear it! This one amazing red-pink fits all. This is kind of a hot pink leaning fuchsia shimmer with faint blue flash. The blue flash is what makes it interesting, but it's not as strong as other similar shades.



I'm His Coral-Friend. And he loves me in this rosy orange. This is a sheer-ish medium orange coral creme. I'm calling it a sheer creme, but it does seem a little jelly-ish.

Sea? I Told You! That you'd love this aquamarine dream. The stunner of the collection. This may be my favorite blue polish so far this year. It is fantastic. It's shimmery and sparkly and has this fantastic metallic micro-flake shimmer in it. If you look closely or view the full size, you can see the little sheer silver flakes in this. It has a hidden duochrome as well! It's invisible in sunlight, but in low light or artificial light this polish has a pink-purple duochrome effect. You can start to see the purple flash in the bottom of the bottle on the first picture. It's awesome.

The formula on these is not so good. I had a lot of trouble with them. It's like they went back to the old three-free formula! They're thick and runny at the same time. They're very sheer, all pictures are five coats, except Sea? I Told You! which is three coats. Four coats would have probably been fine, but I still had visible nail line and wanted to see how five coats looked. The formula on Banana Bandanna was particularly difficult- runny, sticky and thick but not horribly streaky like other yellows. I wonder what happened? It seemed like they were improving the formula more and more with each collection. The brushes, however, are awesome. I am madly in love with OPI's Pro-Wide Brush. I love being able to have one-stroke coverage. It really speeds up the process.

I have mixed feelings about this collection. One one hand, I'm super excited to see them do a gorgeous blue and yellow, but I'm disappointed in the thick formula. I'm sure it can be fixed with a few drops of thinner, but I'd rather not have to thin brand new polish on principle. The coral and fuchsia shades aren't even remotely unique, but they are very pretty.

Sea? I Told You! is honestly one of the prettiest blues in my collection. It has so much depth and sparkle, it's positively mesmerizing to look at. It's so cheerful and serene. The 'secret' duochrome is also a nice treat. It looks awesome at sunset, that's when the light hits the color just right to bring out the purple flash.

Banana Bandanna is also a welcome change, it's been a while since OPI did a pastel yellow... In fact... I'm not sure if I've ever seen OPI do a pastel yellow! Am I mistaken? Have they done a pastel yellow before? Even though the formula is bad, I love the color. I know a lot of people have been wanting Maybelline to bring back Banana Puddin', but Banana Bandanna has a very similar feel to it, soft banana pudding yellow.

Overall, I think this collection is half awesome and half plain. They're all perfect summer shades, but kind of similar to other OPI shades. Sea? I Told You! is a must have for any blue lover, and I'm contemplating ordering a backup, I love it so much.

It was my birthday yesterday, and it was great! Thank you everyone for all your messages!

I had a pretty relaxing day. I ate a bagel, watched my favorite episode of Viva La Bam, saw some raccoons playing, had an amazing homemade dinner, played Knuckles Chaotix and a bunch of old Genesis games on 32x and EXPLODED GLASS ALL OVER MYSELF.

All in all, it was awesome, and I picked out a fun nail and eye of the day.


A rainbow eye! My eyeliner is all messed up. I tried for half an hour to put on a pair of fake lashes and I couldn't get them on right. The inner corner wouldn't stay down. I got frustrated and took off both strips, so I had to cover up all the spots where my shadow was messed up and my eyeliner was smudged with Blacktrack Fluidline. That didn't look very good, so I put green glitter over it. I didn't really like the green glitter much, either. Wish I didn't try to use the lashes. Boo. Oh well, I still liked it even with messed up liner.

I couldn't decide on a color for my nails, so I did something I never do- I matched my makeup.

I actually really loved this 'skittles' look, I think I'm going to do 'skittles' manis more often.

Now I need to catch up on about three weeks worth of emails =X

These are very creative photos that have a touch of humour in it.
