Are you a blue nail-polish fan? Then you may boogie with this blue Liquid Sand from the OPI San Francisco Collection that drops in August.

All this week, I’ve reviewed polishes from this collection. There will be more to come – hopefully I’ll be able to review every single colour prior to August. I hope it’ll help you with your wishlist (whether it’s adding to it or scratching off some).

Today, I have OPI Wharf! Wharf! Wharf! Hehe, the name cracks me up because even though it’s supposed to be a reference to the Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco, it makes me think of Worf from Star Trek! Hehe, and then I get a good laugh thinking about Cling-Ons wearing nail polish! (Yes, I have an over-active imagination.)

On a side note, I’ve been to San Francisco once. Right after graduating from university, my parents and I went to California. We spent the most time in Los Angeles, but we also went to San Francisco. While in San Fran, we went to the Fishermans Wharf. It was quite lovely!

Looking back now, it was the last trip that I took with both of my parents, so I hold the memory dear to my heart.

OPI It’s All San Andreas’s Fault is the taupe Liquid Sand from the OPI San Francisco Collection coming out in August.

Although the colour is more sophisticated than the other Liquid Sands I’ve tried, I’m not completely sold on this.

For one, I love wearing bold colours on my nails. Being able to wear obnoxious or immature shades is just something that makes me very happy.

While I can appreciate how this is a more grown-up Liquid Sand, I miss the glitter and colour. However, for those who are the opposite of me and who prefer neutrals on their nails, maybe they’ll dig this more.

OPI Dining Al Frisco is an icy blue nail polish from the OPI San Francisco Collection that’ll be dropping in August.

I can picture this being a great base for wintry nail art, maybe with some penguins? 😉

Even though the San Francisco Collection is coming to stores in August, it’s actually a fall/winter collection, so it’s right on point.

Something about this polish reminded me of slick car paint, even though I can’t think of when I’ve ever seen a vehicle in this colour.

My dad would’ve loved this shade. Haha, no, not because he wore nail polish (although he used to let me paint his toenails for fun once). Blue was his favourite colour in general, and the lighter blues in particular. So when I wore this, I thought about my father.

You may remember that back in March when I met Suzi Weiss-Fischmann a second time at a special OPI launch event,
OPI Alcatraz…Rocks was the polish I drooled over.

It features the amazing Liquid Sand finish, and out of all the polishes from the OPI San Francisco Collection due out in August, this is my favourite!

My photos don’t quite convey the true beauty of this polish, so I urge you to check it out in person. I wasn’t able to capture the multicoloured glitter that’s very obvious in real life. And, trust me, those really bring a magical quality to this Liquid Sand!

OPI Keeping Suzi at Bay is a shiny, sexy nail polish from the upcoming OPI San Francisco Collection due out in August.

Maybe I have an affinity for the Cookie Monster, but when I’m wearing blues like this, I’m over the moon, past the Milky Way, and light years from Earth.

I wore this for several days, and if I weren’t a beauty blogger, I most likely would’ve kept this manicure on until it chipped so badly, I’d be forced to remove it. So, yeah, I think I like it just a little bit. 😉

P.S. As a little heads up – This week, I’ll be sharing reviews on a bunch of polishes from the OPI San Francisco Collection, so keep your eyes peeled like a banana for those.
