The OPI Infinite Shine Spring 2016 Collection officially launches in April, which is just a wink away, but today, I have some quick swatches to whet your appetite! (For the full colour story, check out the official press release I published earlier.)
Hey, is it just me, or is time zipping by? I can’t believe that it’s already going to be Easter tomorrow!
Will you be doing any fun and festive Easter nail art? I have some ideas, but I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to sit down and execute any. We’ll see!
If I’m unable to blog on Sunday, I want to wish you all a Happy Easter now! Whether you celebrate the holiday for religious reasons or for the yummy chocolate bunnies and candies, I hope that you have a great time.
HEYYYYYY!
That’s Odin the Owl, and he’s flying off with my nail polishes!
Catch him – quick!
Thanks so much for convincing Odin the Owl to return them!
We sat down, and he apologized. Life for owls is rough these days. He said, “Nobody gives a hoot about us!” 😉
After I consoled him and told him that there are lots of people (myself included) who love owls, we ended up talking about nail polish. One thing led to another, and I ended up painting his talons with a few flattering shades. Odin’s now sporting a spiffy pedicure!
And now…onto the rest of the post where I share with you swatches of all eight colours and some bottle shots!
Stay tuned for a detailed review on at least one colour from this collection in a future post.
In general, these polishes applied easily and were smooth and shiny (even without a top coat). I used three coats for all these swatches, however, the darker shades (Olive for Green, Don’t Provoke the Plum!, and In Familiar Terra-tory only required two coats).
My favourites from the OPI Infinite Shine Spring 2016 Collection are Olive for Green (obviously!), Reach for the Sky, and In Familiar Terra-tory.
Which colours are you itching to try first? Or will you be skipping them completely?
Although OPI suggests that you use their special Infinite Shine Primer (base coat) and Infinite Shine Gloss (top coat) in conjunction with the Infinite Shine colours, I’ve found that I still get great wear when I use my usual base and top coats. So, don’t think that you have to commit to a whole new polishing system.
If you do decide to get the matching set, know also that you can use the Infinite Shine base and top coats with your other regular polishes. (I’ve tried it, and it works fine. Of course, manicure results vary based on your unique nail chemistry.)
There are eight colours in the OPI Infinite Shine Spring 2016 Collection:
- Rose Against Time
- It’s Pink P.M.
- Don’t Provoke the Plum!
- Olive for Green
- In Familiar Terra-Tory
- Sunrise to Sunset
- Half Past Nude
- Reach for the Sky

Like the OPI Soft shades set, it’s the green one that has my complete attention. LOL I want Olive for Green and a few of the others. These are great looking polishes and as always they look great on you! Thanks for sharing them with us.
Hey Melissa!
Hehe, the name for the green is cute, isn’t it? Plus I agree – I live for green! 😉
Thanks for regularly visiting the blog and leaving encouraging and engaging comments. Your support is greatly appreciated. I always look forward to hearing what you think. Feedback is so important for bloggers! 🙂
Aww! Thank you! I check your blog everyday so I don’t miss a post. i’m a HUGE nail polish/nail art fanatic and I appreciate the time you take to share your work and opinions of new polishes and products. Thanks again for a great blog and Happy Easter!!!
It’s so wonderful that we can share our passion about nail polish. Thank you for making my blogging experience very enjoyable! It feels so good knowing that you think so highly of my work and opinions that you regularly visit and actively engage in an open dialogue with me. 🙂
I don’t take that for granted because, especially in this day and age, a lot of people have very busy schedules. Including me in your hectic life touches my heart and means the world to me!
Thanks again!
P.S. Hope that you also had a wonderful Easter and that the Easter bunny visited you with many yummy treats! 😉
For Easter, I use my entire collection of Crinkled Chromes, which I got for a complete steal cause no one seemed to like them that much! I do a chocolate coloured base, with a matte top coat, then I go over my nails with one of the coloured Chromes, leaving some of the brown peeking out. On some, I go over the edge where they meet with the silver. The end result looks like chocolate foil eggs with the foil either folded down or ripped right off. 🙂 Honestly, one of my favourite holiday manis!
Hey Desiree!
Oh my goodness! That nail art sounds incredible – good enough to eat…almost! 😉 Nail biters, be careful. Hehe!
Yes, I remember the Crinkled Chromes. I tried one or two colours from the collection, but I couldn’t quite get the finish to appear the way it should.
How clever of you to use those polishes in this way! Good idea!
I hope you’ll snap a photo of your manicure and share it! That will inspire many, I’m sure!
I’d got for the green too, although the baby blue is cute too – and love the shine on these
Hey Cali!
Yes, those two are definitely at the top of my list. Also, you’re right – the Infinite Shine nail polishes live up to their name. Even without a glossy top coat, these are wonderfully shiny! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment!
I just bought the green! While searching for swatches / information about the collection, I found your blog. Great swatches!
Hey Janet!
YAYYYYY! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 🙂 Awesome that you were able to snag the nail polish slightly earlier than the official April release! Hehe, and great choice to go with the green. Coming from a green fanatic, I think that’s the star of this collection.
I love that you found me while looking up details about the collection. Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Please visit again soon. You’re always welcomed here, hehe, and there are always lots of new nail-polish reviews being published throughout the week.
