Over the past few years, OPI has had some incredible collections of nail polishes, one of the last being the Hello Kitty collection which I was lucky enough to review. The newest launch from OPI is the Mexico City collection and if bright colours are your thing, then you will absolutely love these shades.
Featuring 12-shades, this collection officially launched around February 1, 2020, and the collection draws inspiration from the city’s vibrant art and fashion scenes, jet-set appeal with trendy locales and award-winning cuisine, and exploration of individual self-expression.
Experience the eclectic Colours of the world’s most thriving art scene- Ciudad de Mexico (CDMX)- for Spring 2020 with the Mexico City Collection by OPI.
When I think of Mexico, I do think bright greens and reds as well as some of the most amazing food and of course Churros, which yes came from Spain and Portugal originally, but some of the best I have tasted have been in Mexican restaurants, where I am a huge fan of dishes such as Enfrijoladas and Fish Tacos and it is all of those bright colours from the food I expected to see within this collection and to an extent, it is exactly what you get, but with one or two surprises.
The first group of shades really sit well together and all have a hint of orange too them:
From left to right we have Coral-ing Your Spirit Animal, Mural Mural On The Wall, iViva Opi! and My Chihuahua Doesn't Bite Anymore. What I love about this group is that Mural Mural On The Wall works with all the shades:
Coral-ing Your Spirit Animal: A light tone orange.
Mural Mural On The Wall: A dusty orange/brown with hints of gold & red glitter.The first group of shades really sit well together and all have a hint of orange too them:
Coral-ing Your Spirit Animal: A light tone orange.
iViva Opi!: A hot orange/red.
My Chihuahua Doesn't Bite Anymore: A warm orange.
The next group of shades I was really happy to see included but there is one shade from the collection of 12 which I feel is missing.
Suzi's Slinging Mezcal: A sparkling gold.
Don't Tell A SOL: A bright tone yellow.
Verde Nice To Meet You: An pastel green teal.
Mi Casa Es Blue Casa: A deep warm sea blue.
The final collection of shades are the ones which I wasn't expecting to find within the Mexico City Collection, for me, it is missing a whole lot of green nail colours, which admittedly is not something everyone would wear, but something similar to OPI Envy the Adventure from the Nutcracker Collection would be perfect.
From left to right is Mariachi Makes My Day, Mexico City Move-Mint, Hue Is The Artist and Telenovela Me About It. Whilst this section confuses me slightly with its connection to Mexico City, what I do love is each of the shades, especially the light baby blue shade which again is perfect for Spring and Summer.
Mariachi Makes My Day: A elegant tone of purple.
Mexico City Move-Mint: A light tone baby blue.
Hue Is The Artist?: A pale tone pink.
Telenovela Me About It: A warm fuchsia pink.
As with most OPI swatches, the advice is to add at least two coats of polish and I think this is the first collection I have tried that works really well with one coat, but two just gives that deeper hint of colour.
As with most collections from OPI, with Mexico City to have the choice of the Infinite Shine Collection at £15.90 per bottle of polish or the Nail Lacquer, which I have reviewed for £13.90 per bottle and you can see the whole collection with OPI.
This collection is available to purchase right now and you can buy the shades singularly or as a set from OPI directly. I would love to know if any of these shades jumps out at you?
