Embrace the pastel power with OPI's brand new 2016 Soft Shades collection. The collection ranges from baby blues to pale pinks and has major Spring vibes !


The majority of the shades needed three coats to reach full opacity but the formula went on really well and had a great finish.

It's In The Clouds
This is a really unique off-white shade. I can see it being a great base colour for nail designs or for when I feel like wearing a lighter colour but not white.



Stop It I'm Blushing
This shade is a nice pink/peachy colour that is very Spring-like. It's not my favourite of the collection and will probably not wear that often.



This Cost Me A Mint
Mint shades are always my favourite and this one is no exception ! It's a mint green colour as the name suggests and it's similar to That's Hula-rious from the OPI Hawaii collection.


It's A Boy !
This shade is the perfect baby blue. It's soft and delicate with a nice pastel blue tone. This shade is definitely my favourite of the collection. It's quite similar to Gelato On My Mind from the OPI Venice collection however it's slightly brighter and less dusty.



One Chic Chick
If pale yellows are your thing, than this would be a great polish for you. It's a mellow pale yellow that's quite nice and demure. 



I Am What I Amethyst 
This shade has a more purple tone to it than It's A Boy and reminds me of Bikini So Teeny by Essie. It doesn't have the same shimmer to it but it's a really love colour and I can see myself wearing this quite often.


The collection is available now exclusively from Myer, David Jones and selected salons. You can also pick up the collection in mini form with four of the shades for $24.95.

I purchased these from Maconii's eBay page (you can check them out here), they also have a shop in Melbourne's CBD. They have heaps of different polish brands that can be hard to come by at an affordable price.

Overall I loved the collection and will be wearing them again and again. The pink shades were a little sheerer and need three coats for opacity but apart from that, the polish went on well and evened out nicely. The finish of these polishes is nice and creamy with a great shine. This is the first time I've tried creme Colour Club shades and I was pretty impressed.

Feathered Hair Out To There
This shade is a pastel candy pink that's soft and bright at a same time. It took three coats to reach opacity and like most light pinks, you have to wait a little bit between applications to prevent bald spots.



Hot Hot Hot Pants
This shade is more of a sherbet orange pink shade that's really lovely. It's a real shame that the true colour doesn't show up in photo; It's like a softer version of Flip Flop Fantasy by China Glaze. This shade also needed three coats for opacity but evened out nicely.



Under The Blacklight
This colour is so great ! I don't have a polish like it in my collection. It's a lime/lemon pastel shade that is lovely and summery. This shade need three thin coats for opacity.



'Till The Record Stops
I would say that this shade is a dupe for That's Hula-rious by OPI. It's a bit brighter and less pistachio toned but it's a really flattering shade and one that can be worn all year round. It only needed two coats for full opacity.



Meet Me At The Rink
This shade is a spectacular bright, pastel blue that I could wear every single day. It only needed two coats for opacity and went on smoothly. So nice !



Diggin' The Dancing Queen
The last shade is a bright and vibrant purple shade that is a lot brighter in person. It's also more pink in person as well and would look fantastic on any skin tone.


Which shade was your favourite from the collection and will you be picking any up yourselves?
