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.

As of today’s review on OPI Honey Ryder, I’ve now finished swatching and reviewing all 6 shades in the OPI Bond Girls Collection due out in May!

Honey Ryder is a light gold, which could work as an interesting neutral for some skin tones. However, on me, I wasn’t in love with it. It was a bit too yellow for me. Also, you know how I prefer high-contrast colours against my skin tone.

Still, as Tim Gunn would say, “Make it work!” So, I did. You’ll remember that not long ago, I showed you some nifty nail art I did using this plus another Liquid Sand nail polish from the same collection.

After that, I think Honey Ryder is a great base for textured nail art. It’s a great neutral that allows any design to really pop.

Want to know what my favourite Liquid Sand from the Bond Girls Collection coming out in May is? OPI Jinx!

You may remember seeing this when I did a sneak peek of it on Instagram.

This orange-based coral nail polish is such a fun spring/summer colour.

It’s what I would describe as charismatic – OPI Jinx is like an arresting sunset that takes your breath away and commands your attention.

Although I wasn’t home to take photos of this in the sunlight, I assure you that it sparkles like a demon in the sun! It’s like glittery lava – hot stuff!

If you’re looking for a polish that makes you think of the beach and summer barbecues, it’s Jinx!

P.S. My all-time favourite Liquid Sand that I’ve worn so far is OPI Get Your Number, but OPI Jinx comes close behind in second!
