O.P.I Dutch Treats

Who's up for a trip to Holland?

In this case it's O.P.I's Dutch Treats 
(sorry for getting your hopes up there)

”OPI
 L-R, I Have a Herring Problem, Red Lights Ahead.. Where? Kiss Me on My Tulips, Pedal Faster Suzi!
  Unfortunately I have been unable to do proper manicures to show these pretty colours off as I've run out of polish remover (shocking) so I've resorted to swatching on a art ring, the middle colours were two coats, the end colours were three coats each.
* I Have a Herring Problem is a steel blue flecked with tiny silver sparkles. A lovely colour I cant wait to wear, more work friendly and subdued than the others.

* Red Lights Ahead... Where? Is an orange based red, neither a true red nor an orange. It made me think Coral, but it's not quite a coral colour either. I like it and its extreme glossiness. 

* Kiss Me on My Tulips is a bright pink  not all to different from OPI's Thats Hot! Pink.

* Pedal Faster Suzi! Is a soft almost baby pink, tinged with the slightest hint of grey along with a delicate touch of silver shimmer. 

The only slight problem I have with this set is as with all minis, the brush is tiny and my nails are quite broad, but I can over look that as I am loving all of these colours.

  1. I can't wait to wear 'I have a herring problem' my daughter promptly swooped in on the pinks :)
    I think the red light may be relegated to toes/under glitters if I'm honest. Decent collection all in all. Would have been over the moon if one of the pinks had been replaced with 'Vampsterdam' though XD

  6. I think both Red lights ahead and Kiss me on my tulips are easily duped using other opi colours, they are nothing new. But I do like I have a herring problem and Pedal faster Suzi. Even if I find the names a bit of a mouthful.

  9. I bought the minis too. I'm loving this collection! I'm wearing Red Lights Ahead on my toes and in my NOTD a few days ago I was wearing Pedal Faster Suzi! I think I'll wear Tulips or Herring next but waiting for my nails to grow a bit first (ruined by gardening without wearing gloves). I love your swatches hon. Karen www.balmainbeauty.com
