OPI Autumn/Winter 2016 - Washington DC

OPI Washington DC

The latest collection by OPI is Washington DC, featuring 12 new shades for Autumn/Winter 2016. This collection is a collaboration with actress Kerry Washington, who recently became OPI's first ever Creative Ambassador and has worked closely with the brand to develop the polishes. I have all 12 shades to show you today, guaranteed to get you in the mood for Autumn!

CIA = Color is Awesome is a dark teal creme. Good 2 coat formula, remember your top coat though as its one of those rich colours that could potentially stain (I say this with every brand!) 2 coats plus top coat

Stay Off The Lawn! is a lush forest green creme. I adore this colour! The formula is dreamy, practically one coat but I use 2 as a rule.

Suzi - The First Lady of Nails is a dark olive green creme. 2 easy coats plus top coat

"Liv" in the Gray is a dark grey creme with a hint of green undertone. 2 easy coats plus top coat

Shh...It's Top Secret! is a very dark brown creme. This one is best in 3 thin coats or 2 thick ones. I used 2 thick coats plus top coat

Kerry Blossom is a deep plum creme. This is super pretty! 2 coats plus top coat

We The Female is a rich garnet red. This looks a little streaky on my nails but it's not so in real life. 2 smooth coats plus top coat

Madam President is a bright pink/red creme. Perfect formula, 2 coats plus top coat


Freedom of Peach is a warm peachy orange creme. This was a tiny bit patchy but evened out well with 2 thick coats.

Yank My Doodle is a tawny copper creme. This one is pretty unusual in my stash, I like it a lot more than I thought I would. 2 coats plus top coat

Inside the ISABELLEtway is a malted brown creme. 2 easy coats plus top coat

Pale to the Chief is a light beige with a soft pearl finish, and the only polish in the collection that isn't a straight up creme. The white pearl sheen can't really be seen in my swatch unfortunately. The formula for this was a little patchy so I used 3 coats plus top coat.

As a whole, this collection isn't too exciting but there's a few nice shades and I'm pleased with how good the formulas are. Let me know what you think!

My picks: Kerry Blossom, Stay Off The Lawn!, Yank My Doodle

  2. I love this collection! It's very elegant and probably one of the best collaborations with O.P.I. I'm not a fan of Kerry Washington, but I have to admit - she has a great taste and sense of style.))

  6. I really love this collection, I've not got around to doing a full review yet as it's so huge but I've loved creating nail art with them. Gorgeous swatches!

  7. Really cool swatches. I like the second color. I am sure it would be looking good on Almond nails that I saw. I also want to do all this colors, because they are so pretty!
