OPI A-Piers to Be Tan from the San Francisco Collection coming out on August 7 isn’t a colour that would typically catch my attention.

I don’t wear a lot of browns, and when I do sport one, it’s usually really dark and shimmery.

So, this is completely out of my comfort zone, but sometimes you’ve just gotta try something to see if you’ll like it.

Well, I didn’t fall in love with it. It suited my skin tone, the formula was smooth and perfect, but the colour itself was too toned down for my taste. (Haha, I tend to get excited more about tacky manicures than sophisticated ones.)

But I was determined to find another way to wear it. Drop by Swatch And Learn tomorrow, and you’ll see the freehand nail art I did with this as the base. (I’ll also include a step-by-step tutorial for it.) I ended up loving that manicure, and OPI A-Piers to Be Tan was the perfect base colour I needed!

While you may be feeling the brighter shades during the warm season, I still want to show you OPI Incognito in Sausalito.

It’s from the upcoming OPI San Francisco Collection for Fall/Winter, which will officially hit stores on August 7.

You got a peek at it recently when I layered it underneath OPI Minnie Style, a whimsical magenta-and-white-hexagon-glitter polish.

If you’re looking for a vampy shade that’s really dark, but that just has a sliver of navy blue, this might be something you’ll gravitate toward.

When I posted a quick group bottle shot of the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection on Instagram, one of my followers/readers mentioned being curious about seeing OPI Minnie Style layered over black.

Okay, initially, I was going to wear it over black, but I decided to add a slight twist with a very-dark blue. It’s close enough to black, so I think it’ll still scratch the itch of seeing it over black.

The dark blue I used beneath OPI Minnie Style is OPI Incognito in Sausalito, which is from the OPI San Francisco Collection coming out in August.

Sometimes you want sexy-vixen nails that you imagine a femme fatale in film noir would wear.

When you’re in that mood, I suggest you reach for OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow, which is from the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection!

Not only is the name a bit of a tongue twister (I loved practicing those when I was a kid!), but the colour is so hot, you’d better turn the fan on to cool off. 😉 It’s like a hot pepper for your nails! Caliente!

Every so often, I get in the mood to sport a classy red. This is exactly the type I would go for, and I know I’ll be wearing this again!

OPI A Definite Moust-Have is now the 3rd nail polish I’ve reviewed from the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection.

When I first saw the bottle, I can’t say that it made my heart race like Usain Bolt. But, when I cracked it open and applied it, it won me over like a balcony serenade. In no time flat, my eyes transformed into cartoon hearts.

For one, it’s a pink that really pops and provides a great contrast against my skin tone. But what thoroughly impressed me was the absolutely perfect formula!

If you don’t have a medium pink in your collection yet, I highly suggest that you pick this up because it gives you great colour with zero fuss.
