Hello, my sweeties! Happy Friday!
I am super excited today, not only because we hit the month of Love, but mainly because I have swatched the new OPI Soft Shades Collection "Always Bare for You"For Spring 2019. The soft shades nail polishes collection by OPI are the must-have for the wedding season that's just started! Six delicatly soft, elegant and super feminine colours that will complete the looks of the Bride, the bridesmaids, the mom, the auntie and the grandma, everyone really!! Today I show you what these beautiful colours look like on the nails and what was my experience applying and wearing these six new nail polishes. ♥♥♥


The  OPI Collection"Always bare for you" consists of six colour of nail polish, all of them super sophisticated soft shades with an exceptionally glossy finish! A princess like pink shimmer, a pale rose gold pearl tone and four elegant sheer shades: two classic roses and two trendy grey and taupe!

"This spring, embrace soft, sheer color with Always Bare for You by OPI! Six shades in the prettiest neutral, feminine hues offer a hint of color – ideal for anyone seeking a delicate nail look, especially brides and brides-to-be. Inspired by weddings and all the joy surrounding this season of love, Always Bare for You features shades of pink, nude and rose gold in crème and shimmer finishes, as well as pale lilac and soft blue grey rounding out the collection"


I have kindly been gifted the 6 colours of this collection by the brand distributor (thank you!!).

Always Bare for You by OPI will be available in classic Nail Lacquer, Infinite Shine and GelColor formulas; these three options offer consumers and professionals a variety of choices for the best products to fit their needs. GelColor provides a salon-perfect finish with up to three-week wear, while Infinite Shine offers a high-shine finish with up to 11-day wear and traditional lacquer application. Nail Lacquer features a highly-pigmented, rich formula for even application without streaking. When used in a professional service, color can last up to seven days.

Let's start with the swatches, shall we? The polishes you see are all from the Infinite Shine range. I'm showing you all the swatches with two/three coats of colour and with OPI Infinite shine topcoat. Please, remember you can click on the pics to enlarge them:)

Baby, Take a Vow 
Have your cake and eat it too with this blushing pink.

This is such a classic polish, I think every girl should own this colour! It is feminine, delicate and goes with everything! It will make your nails look on point but still quite natural. IT is also the perfect shade for  French manicure! On my picture, you can see three coats of it.




Throw me a kiss
Pucker up with this perfectly flirty iridescent pink.

This colour is for all princesses out there! My daughters absolute favourite (she's a true princess, unlike myself), she asked to wear it for her fourth birthday party!! Of course, you will see pictures of her little piggies wearing this shade on my Instagram stories ;)
The nail polish was so easy to apply, although it is meant to be slightly sheer it was pretty opaque in two coats. The finish is absolutely gorgeous!!




Chiffon-d of You
Make the aisle your catwalk in this super stylish metallic

As most pearly colours with a slightly metallic finish, this one shows a hint of the brush strokes, but that does not take away the classiness of this shade! Honestly, I wear this colour and feel so elegant, where is the cocktail party??




Bare my Soul
Follow your heart with this super chic nude shade.

I'd personall call it more "Rose" than nude, to my eye this colour looks like a darker shade of blush. But whatever! This will definitely be a great choice for anyone wanting a little more colour on their nails, but still quite sheer! It is also perfect for a more daring French manicure.




Engage-meant to Be 
Say “YES!” with this alluring pale lilac

This colour is my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE in this collection! Ok, it looks anything but lilac on me, I give you that. But bare in mind that my skin is terribly neutral toned, this colour will definitely look lilac on people with a complexion with cool undertones. On me it looks more like a dove greish-taupe and I find it sublime! I can't stop staring at it ♥♥♥





Ring Bear-er
Check off your something blue with this elegantly understated hue

Yes! Definitely a colour I would have worn on my wedding day (My dress was turquoise :P) This shade is anything but boring, so original, and so very glossy! It took three thin coats to make it look this opaque.




Bottom Line

This collection is so beautiful! I think they are a must not only for brides but also for people working in more conservative environments, with any of these shades you'll be on the safe side and OH so chic.
All polishes were a dream to apply as usual, they all were smooth, ultra-glossy without topcoat (but I used one to make them last longer). I had no difficulties at all, there is a great consistency in the formulation, as all the colours application is very similar.


There are a few must-haves also for French manicure lovers like "Baby, take a vow" and "Bare my soul", a must for princesses like "Throw me a kiss" too, but my heart goes to "Engage-meant to be" what an original delicate and sophisticated shade!!
What about you? What are your favourites here??

The OPI Collection "Always Bare for You" is available since the mid-April 2019 in classic Nail Lacquer, Infinite Shine and GelColor formulas for 6 months at least. There are also a set of mini polishes and a gift set Infinite Shine version with basecoat and topcoat.
