OPI Malibu Collection Minis! Below, find a review of the 2021 OPI Malibu Collection, released late in Spring 2021, and 4 swatches from the 12 summer lacquers.
Anytime OPI releases a collection, they are typically releasing twelve new colors for the palette, and they do it just prior to the start of the season.
So if you want to stay on top of new nail polishes as we do, plan to expect fall collections released in the late summer, and summer collections to be released late spring.
This collection started appearing on blogs in late-may 2021, and ever since it has been making waves around the internet.
If you like bright pearl shades, vibrant glitter shades and relaxing versatile neutrals, this collection is worth your consideration.
OPI El Mat-adoring You
The collection of 12 summer shades included a whopping 6 neutral shades. One of these neutrals is El Mat-adoring You, swatched above in two coats.
A warm, creamy shade that could be described as a toffee caramel brown neutral.
OPI Strawberry Waves Forever
A shimmery bright strawberry pink, this is one of two glitters in the collection, the other, The Sound of Vibrance, photos below.
Strawberry Waves Forever is a sparkly warm pink glitter shade that offers mostly sheer coverage in two coats (pictured). If strawberry jelly or gummy candies from the boardwalk decided to become a glitter nail polish, this is it.
OPI The Sound of Vibrance
The second and final glitter in this collection. The Sound of Vibrance is a bold, shimmery purple glitter nail polish with a slightly jelly sheer texture in up to three coats (pictured).
Once you reach three coats, it is mostly opaque, with a harmonic depth of color. It’s an entrancing purple polish.
OPI Pear-adise Cove
A vibrant light, bright green chartreuse nail polish that is not neon. It’s like having fresh, new baby greenery on your nails. Opaque in two coats.
If you are a neon green fan yet sometimes want to turn the dial down a bit, this nail polish still gives you that brightness without being too loud.
Of these 4 shades, Strawberry Waves Forever and El Mat-adoring You are our picks.
