OPI Downtown LA Collection Fall 2021

 pr samples

I have th gorgeous new OPI Downtown LA Collection for Fall 2021 to show you today.  There are so many beauties in this 12 piece collection.

First up is OPI <3 DTLA, a gorgeous Fall blue cream.  Two smooth, easy coats.

Violet Visionary is a stunning deep purple cream with a perfect formula.  Two easy coats.

Graffiti Sweetie is a soft, dusty lavender cream.  The formula was nice and thick, self leveling and covered my nail in two easy coats.

Espresso Your Inner Self is a rich, espresso brown cream.  I love this chocolate shade for Fall.  Two coats.

(P)Ink on Canvas is a soft, rose pink cream.  These kind of dusty pinks are so wearable, I will never get enough of them! Two easy coats.

7th and Flower is a stunning bold magenta cream.  Two easy coats.

My Studio's on Spring is a deep teal cream.  The formula is super saturated, I could've gotten away with one coat!

Isn't it Grand Avenue is a stunning inky blue.  I love how vampy this one is! Two coats.

Art Walk in Suzi's Shoes is a gorgeous candy apple red with a jelly finish.  I used 2 coats for this swatch and am kind of digging the visible nail line!

I wish I could have captured the holo better (or at all!) in Angels Flight to Starry Nights.  This is such a stunning polish and I love OPI's holos!  My indoor lights just wouldn't capture the holo flecks in here and it was a dreary BC Fall day out today, so no sun to show off the holo effect.

Abstract After Dark is a gorgeous inky purple with stunning flakies that shift from blue to purple.  Two easy coats.

Metallic Composition is a fave of mine from this collection.  It's a gorgeous rose gold metallic with nice big flecks.  I love metallic polishes, especially if they're rose gold!  Two coats

What do you think of the OPI Downtown LA Collection for Fall 2021?  Which are your top picks?

Have a great day loves,
