Yesterday, I received the official press release about the OPI Venice Collection, which is set to launch in August.
There are 15 shades in the OPI Venice Collection. Twelve of them will be added to the permanent OPI collection, and the other three will be limited-edition.
The limited-edition shades are Venice the Party?, Baroque…But Still Shopping, and St. Mark’s the Spot.
The images in this post are all I have for this press release. (I’ve e-mailed PR to see if I could get individual bottle shots to show you. If there are any available, I’ll be sure to update this post to include the photos.)

Have you ever been to Venice? Out of all the nail-polish shades in the OPI Venice Collection, which is your favourite and why?
**Squeals like a 2 year old** 🙂
I cannot wait to see these in a review. I’m loving the names and can’t wait to get a better look at the colors themselves. Thanks for sharing this collection with us.
Can’t wait till these come out and hopefully get them! Especially that purple!!!!

I’m so excited for this collection! Venice was my favorite city when I went to Italy two summers ago and I was so bummed I only got two days there. I’m dying for all the food themed names because literally all that I did in Italy was eat (my gelato addiction is REAL)! Can’t wait to see your swatches!
Amazing collection!
love the colors.
Thank you for sharing!
Ahhh so excited for this! I especially love the look of Gelato on My Mind and Purple Palazzo Pants.
Does OPI normally announce which colors will be added to the permanent collection prior to releasing a seasonal collector? Seems sort of odd that it will all but three colors. Plus normally the seasonal collections linger on shelves for awhile after their release, so how limited will the limited colors be? Anyway, these look very promising, especially after a few lackluster OPI collections. Looking forward to swatches of “Baroque”! Hoping it’s more a shimmery nude than a proper gold.
Lovely collection, I’ve seen soms swatches and they make a pretty collection as a whole. Might have promised myself a few bottles whenever the collection hits stores (or Ebay, that is haha).
