You’ll want to plant a big smooch on OPI Kiss Me I’m Brazilian from the OPI Brazil Collection that’ll officially be hitting stores on February 5.

The colour is cute, but the formula, which I hope you can really see from my photos in this post, is excellent!

I think this would be a great shade for Valentine’s Day because this reminds me so much of the Month of Love. (Maybe even Cupid himself would shoot it with his arrow!) 😉

By the way, stay tuned to Swatch And Learn because there’ll be plenty more OPI Brazil Collection shades reviewed individually and in-depth in the next little while!

The first Liquid Sand from the OPI Beach Sandies mini set (part of the OPI Brazil Collection) that I was itching to wear first was OPI Samba-dy Loves Purple. (You may remember me showing you a photo of it on Instagram not long ago.)

Although it probably hasn’t been that long, it feels like it’s been a while since I wore a purple like this.

Take a closer look at the bottle, and you’ll see that there’s some sparkle. This isn’t a flat matte texture nail polish.

On the nail, it also shows up, although it was hard to show you because the light reflecting off the texture seemed to translate into a sheen on camera, which competed with the sparkle.

OPI Live. Love. Carnaval from the OPI Brazil Collection officially coming out on February 5 is yet another winner!

OPI sure does know how to create the best creme nail polishes, don’t they? They’re creamy and go on so smoothly.

OPI Live. Love. Carnaval is a great coral that isn’t too bright or too dark.

I like this colour because it’s very spring-like, and it really hits the mark to help us get away from the winter blahs.

Remember when I reviewed OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? a couple of days ago? I got on board the orange train, Choo-choooooo! My love for these kind of shades is still going strong.

Today, I bring you another orange nail-polish review. This time, it’s on OPI Toucan Do It If You Try from the Brazil Collection that’s scheduled to officially hit stores on February 5.

It has hints of tangerine, but it still has that softer look to it that really makes me think of warm weather, the sun beating down, and shedding the winter jacket.

Oh, I can’t wait for spring to come. (I’ve had enough of you, Old Man Winter. No offence!)

Remember when I first showed you the OPI Brazil Collection press release? There were lots of great colours available.

Then when I saw them in person and shared with you my Quick Look post on the entire OPI Brazil Collection, I knew that there were so many colours that were real winners!

I feasted my eyes on so many incredible shades, and although I love green nail polish, I couldn’t help but drool over the oranges (especially because I don’t have too many of those in my stash).

The first one I was itching to wear first was OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? because it was the lightest orange in the bunch – really cute!
