A Sampling of the OPI Nordic Collection

* Purchased By Me*


Greetings!  Today I have a couple of polishes from the Fall OPI Nordic Collection.  Fall collections are some of my favorites.  The latest collection is made up of 12 new polishes - 9 cremes, 2 shimmers, and 1 glitter.  I have 3 of the collection to share with you today!

First up is Ice-Bergers & Fries, a chocolaty creme.  It's very woodsy!  The formula was what we've come to expect from OPI - very smooth and opaque in just 2 coats. The photos below are with just the 2 coats, and no top coat.

As I was putting it away in my neutral drawer, I noticed it strongly resembles another OPI creme, A-Piers To Be Tan, from last year's San Francisco collection.  A-Piers To Be Tan is just slightly more red in tone as you can see from side-by-sides below.  So definitely not a dupe, but similar enough that you don't need both.

Skating On Thin-Iceland is a described as a black cherry creme.  It's a gorgeous shade!  I'm a sucker for a good purple.  It's going to be perfect for Fall and Winter!  The formula is the same as Ice-Bergers & Fries.  The photos below show 2 coats, although I think a third coat would have been a bit better.

Finally, I have My Voice is a Little Norse, the only glitter in the collection.  It's full of gray and holo glitters in a smokey base.  It's super sparkly!  Since it's got the tinted base, you wear it on its own.  In the photos below, I'm wearing 4 coats on my middle finger, 2 heavy coats over Skating on Thin Ice-Land on my ring finger, and 1 coat over Skating on Thin Ice-Land on my pinkie.

I think I may pick up a few more from this collection.  I was super excited about this collection because I harbor a love of this area (one of my dreams is to travel to Iceland).  Do you have a place that you dream of going?
