OPI ❤️ DTLA is part of the new OPI Downtown LA Collection 2021 complete with 12 beautiful, versatile shades you can wear throughout the entire year. 

If you were to purchase one collection all year this is it. 

It has cozy fall shades such as brown, in ​​Espresso Your Inner Self and navy in Isn't It Grand Avenue?, a bright vibrant red for summer or warm autumn days, pastel pink and lavender for spring or cool days, glitters in more than one tone, and cool, rich royals - like Violet Visionary. 

You can wear the shades in the entire collection through every season.

We’ve covered three other nail polish colors from this collection already - 7th & Flower, Metallic Composition, and My Studio’s on Spring in a French Manicure and you can expect the rest of this collection's shades to be swatched as we move into the future.

In general, OPI’s color creators do a great job of choosing palates for the seasons and as a result many seasonal release shades do become available long term.

This is our hope for this gorgeous deep dusty blue. 

Defined as a deep downtown grey, it has periwinkle undertones. 

Not a true grey, yet it is in the grey family. It is an almost lavender grey blue. A beautiful hybrid twist on grey, which is the Pantone color this year, and lavender-blue which has been a trend.

Let's take a look at some of the OPI ❤️ DTLA swatches:

As far as application is concerned:

  • It goes on creamy

  • Has full coverage in two coats

  • It dries rather quickly between coats

This is a very relaxing, chill shade that feels like a winter ocean or a November sky on a cloudy day, in a bottle. 

If you are into grey polishes, or even open to polishes on the edge of the blue family, this is definitely one to consider acquiring.
