Hola! I feel tired today. I know it’s freaking Monday, but I had a busy weekend. My parents went back home after a long visit so I’m feeling kinda sad about that. I know I’m 35, but I can still miss my parents! They do tend to drive me nutso 90% of the time, but that’s what parents do so it doesn’t make me miss them any less when they aren’t here. Anyway, despite the business of trying to get them all packed and ready for their flight, I did manage to do some swatching. I have a pile of about 60 polishes to swatch and I only got through 18 but at least that is a start, right? I ended up starting with these because they are from a Spring collection that was sorely delayed, and I figured that I might as well get these out of the way before I start swatching Fall collections. The OPI Infinite Shine Soft Shades Collection for Spring 2015 is just what it sounds like: Spring appropriate soft shades. These are pretty heavy on the whites, but that doesn’t mean they are boring. Let me show you the six shades.
OPI Infinite Shine Pearl of Wisdom
OPI Infinite Shine Non-Stop White
OPI Infinite Shine Go To Grayt Lengths over Non-Stop White
OPI Infinite Shine The Beige of Reason
OPI Infinite Shine Beyond the Pale Pink
OPI Infinite Shine Eternally Turquoise
First of all, let me say that this collection is incredibly cohesive. They go well together and every single shade screams Spring to me. The formula on these is pretty typical of the Infinite Sine formula: rather opaque and a tad thicker than regular OPI. I have been experimenting with using my own quick dry top coat with these and so far it has worked well. I did notice that the OPI Infinite Shine top coat does stay glossy longer, though. I’m still freaking experimenting with my lighting set up and with my nail shape so I’m not that happy with how these swatch pictures turned out overall. Maybe I’m just being too picky. Overall, I am happy with this collection and can recommend these if you don’t already have something similar. I think that my favorite here is Eternally Turquoise and maybe Beyond The Pale Pink if you’re looking for something clean but not completely white. Let me know what you think of this collection. Did you pick up any of these already? Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon.
Squoval looks absolutely fabulous on you! These colors aren’t really my cup of tea (except for Go to Gray-t Lengths, maybe) but they look so nice on you! I agree that they are extremely cohesive. You have beautiful swatches! We all tend to be very critical of our own work, so I get it, but know that your photos are a hundred times better than mine could ever be!
These colors are nice. I like how light and soft they are.

Ohhhh…. I am a sucka for all OPI soft shades. Seriously, they could put out the same colors with new names and I would be all, “I gotta have them all!”
But I am loving the Gray one!! Very unique. I always feel like they should really call this collection – OPI you can wear to your office job where you get strange looks when you wear our neon collection.
