It is that time of the year again, all nail polish brands decide to release their new summer collections! Last week, we had two new Essie summer collections. This week, it is time for OPI’s new summer 2021 collection inspired by Malibu! Since OPI exists 40 years in 2021, each collection they release this year is going to be inspired by Los Angeles, since that is the place they were founded. Of course, their summer collection is going to be inspired by Malibu, makes sense right? They already released the Hollywood collection for spring, and in the near future, the OPI Downtown LA collection will be released for fall.
Back to the Malibu collection: the collection can basically be split up into two parts: six neutral shades, and six colorful shades. The colors are called:
- Marigolden hour (A yellow cream with warm undertones)
- Endless Sun-ner (medium brown cream)
- The sound of Vibrance (A purple with blue shimmer)
- El mat-adoring you (A lighter brown cream)
- Pear-adise cove (A dusty green cream with yellow undertones)
- Mali-blue shore (A light, bright blue cream)
- PCH love song (Orange with golden shimmer)
- From dusk til dune (A sheer light pink with iridescent flakies)
- Cliffside Karaoke (A darker brown cream)
- Coastal Sand-tuary (An off-white cream)
- Bonfire Serenade (lighter brown cream, cooler undertones than el mat-adoring you)
- Strawberry waves forever (pink with brighter pink shimmer, this is a sequel of Strawberry Margarita)
What I like about the neutrals is that for each shade, there is a warm shade available, and a cooler shade. In this way, there is a neutral for pretty much every skin tone! I have never been to Malibu, but from the pictures I have seen, I think the colors fit Malibu very well! There is a lot of brown with green, and the blue is of course the sea and the sky! The remaining shades could form a beautiful sunset!
Of course, also a mini pack will be available, which will include the following colors:
- El Mat-adoring you
- Pear-adise Cove
- Strawberry waves forever
- The sound of vibrance
