O.P.I Holland Collection- The Cremes

Good morning!

  Today I finally get to start showing you guys O.P.I's Holland inspired Spring Collection. I have to say that this year O.P.I really redeemed themselves. Last year I was really let down by the Texas collection. It just did not seem very coherent to me. This year they did Six beatiful shimmers that left me a little speechless and Six lovely cremes that could brighten anyone's day. I was really excited about this collection from the moment that I saw the very innacurate promo shots. 

  I've decided to split the collection into Two posts because I am running myself thin trying to keep up with my daily posting and working until very late in the day. Like I've been saying this week, I am still adjusting... So here is the creme portion of The Holland Collection.
 To see swatches just keep reading.

O.P.I Did you 'ear about Van Gogh
 Lovely "Safari Taupe" creme. This color has a great formula. This full coverage neutral does not have a thick or goopy formula. Seems like a lot of shades in this family have a rather thick formula but that is not the case with this wonderful shade. This color is so flattering and easy to wear. I'm really loving all these Greige tones for the Spring season. Two coats.

O.P.I Thanks a Windmillion!
 This muted Jade Green is just beautiful. I cannot get tired with the Greens in this Greyed out, Minty Green family. This color has a great, Two coat formula. Thanks a Windmillion! leans a little more Green than Zoya Bevin.

O.P.I Kiss me on my Tulips
One of the many beautiful Floral tones in this collection. This pretty Magenta Pink creme is to die for! It's bright, it's happy.. .It is Spring in a bottle. This color has an effortless formula and is fully opaque in Two coats.

O.P.I Red Lights Ahead... Where?
This shade is a bright Coral- Red. More Red than Coral and absolutely not for the shy of hands. This is not the best shade for my skin tone but I really like it for pedis. It is a great, bright Poppy shade. This comes off more Summery than Spring but I'll take a bright, obnoxious creme where I can get one. Two easy coats.

O.P.I Vampsterdam
Vampsterdam is a deep Plum with a slight Silvery frosty finish. I am not really feeling this shade much only because I will never like frosty shades. The deep Purple tone itself is stunning, though more Fall than Spring in my eyes. The formula on this one was a little sticky and draggy. It took Three coats and even then I still had some bald spots :(.

O.P.I A Roll in the Hague
This shade is a BRIGHT Orange creme. It refused to photograph properly. While this Orange tone leans just a tiny bit Red, it is not THIS red. It is closer to what it looks like in the bottle. The formula on this shade was a bit sticky and thick. This color is also a BITCH to clean up, so apply it VERY carefully and double up on the base coat.
So I pretty much LOVE the names in this entire collection. These names are so clever, cute and fitting... I wonder... Do they come up with the names first? Or the colors? Either ways they really did a great job naming these colors. I really love these tones. They are really bright and saturated which is always a good thing in my book. I really love the floral inspired tones and I predict they will be on my toes a lot this coming Spring Season. As for the more  neutral tones, they are really pretty and always a great staple to have but I'm not hopping on one leg over them. 

I'm loving Kiss me on my Tulips like... a whole lot! Which are you loving from this half?
