Okay, so you know that I’m all about the bold nail colours, but I can appreciate softer hues, too. In fact, sometimes wearing classy shades is a much-needed and refreshing change.

Recently, I wore OPI Taupe-less Beach, which is from the OPI Brazil Collection that I’m crazy about! (Seriously, if you haven’t tried any of the shades from this collection, you’re missing out on one of the most exciting releases in a long time!)

And if you’re a fellow Canadian, remember to enter for your chance to win the entire OPI Brazil Collection in my giveaway that ends February 28.

You already know that I’m nuts about nail polish. And now it’s nice to see a nail polish that’s nuts about me! 😉

It’s OPI I’m Brazil Nuts Over You, which is from the OPI Brazil Collection (Beach Sandies mini pack)!

OPI I’m Brazil Nuts Over You is a summer-worthy texture nail polish.

I was in a crummy mood, and it totally brightened my spirits. This is a fantastic colour that’s exactly in my comfort zone because it’s loud. 😉

P.S. I wore a yellow nail polish before this one, haha, and you can see it wanted to linger around my cuticles!

Guess what? Today is the very first day that the OPI Brazil Collection is officially released!

I knew that today, I was going to have to showcase my favourite shade from the entire collection. It was the one that first caught my eye when I saw all the pretty shades before me. It’s OPI AmazON…AmazOFF! (And it’s AmazING! Hahaha!) 😉

Judging from the reaction it got from my sneak peek on Instagram and Facebook, I could tell that I wasn’t alone in liking this shade so much.

Check out this post for my in-depth review and lots of swatches! Plus I answer your question about if it stains!

OPI Scores a Goal! may look like it’s from an autumn collection, but it’s actually from the OPI Brazil Collection for Spring/Summer 2014 that’s set to officially hit stores tomorrow. Are you excited?

Since PR was generous to provide me with the entire collection, stay tuned as I continue to review each one in-depth. (Or, if you just want a peek at all the colours, check out my Quick Look post on the OPI Brazil Collection!)

OPI Scores a Goal! is a shade that I didn’t think I would love as much as I do when I just saw the bottle.

On the nails, this murky mauve with a hint of purple looks very chic, and the creme finish is really shiny! In certain lighting, it can appear brown.

P.S. My cuticles are stained a little from a polish I had removed prior to wear this polish. It didn’t bother me since in person (i.e. not blown up like on the blog), I couldn’t really notice it. Plus having absolutely perfect nails is never one of my goals. Happiness is! 🙂

If you’re gonna do a yellow nail polish that’s loud and proud, you may as well throw in a textured finish into the mix, right?

Well, maybe it’s just me, but when a nail polish roars so loudly, I can’t bear to stifle it. I say, “Louder! LOUDER!” 😉

Here’s OPI You’re So Flippy Floppy, which is one of the OPI Beach Sandies mini set (part of the OPI Brazil Collection).

Like all the minis in this set, it only comes in the adorable 3.75 mL bottle, so if you like the shade, quickly grab the set before it’s too late.
