OPI Swiss Collection Part 2 of 2

Today I have the remainder of the Swiss Collection from OPI to share with you.
I think these are the stars of the show, but I love the shiny so what do I know?
If you missed part 1 of this collection, you can see it here.

Here are the polishes I have to share today:

From L to R: Diva of Geneva, Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, Glitzerland,
Yodel Me on My Cell, The Color to Watch, and Cuckoo for this Color

All swatches below are 2 coats (unless indicated) over a base coat with no top coat.
All photos were taken in full sunlight.

First up, Diva of Geneva:

Diva of Geneva is described as a "vibrant pink-red that's anything but neutral".


Diva of Geneva matte:

This color is freaking gorgeous! It's really dark looking indoors, but when you get it in the sun, it comes alive! My 13 yr. old son, who knows absolutely nothing about nail polish except that mom has too much of it, even said wow when I forced him to look at it in the sun. He agreed that it was totally different then indoors. It's just as gorgeous matte too! If you only were to buy one color from this collection, I'd suggest it to be this one. You won't be sorry.


Next up, Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous:

Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous is described as a "stunning pewter".


Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous matte:

Huh, what? I'm sorry. I was distracted by the shininess of this polish. Beautiful! Mr. Frog said it was a shiny gunmetal. Totally.


Third, Glitzerland:

Glitzerland is described as "swiss gold in the cold".


Glitzerland matte:

Gold, shiny, OPI...trifecta baby! Enough said!


Fourth, Yodel Me on My Cell:

Yodel Me on My Cell's description goes with the
name and is "I'll feel 'blue' if you don't!".


Yodel Me on My Cell matte:

Yeah, blue pretty much sums this sucker up nicely. It's like blindingly bright blue that you will not miss if you see it on nails. It's pretty, but not my personal fave.


Fifth is The Color to Watch:

The Color to Watch is described as a "delicate lilac".


The Color to Watch matte:

This was the only color in the entire collection that required 3 coats. The first 2 coats were really sheer, but the third evened everything out quite nice. I really love how subtle, yet beautiful this color is. The only thing matting it did was to take away the shine, but it's still just as pretty. This one was another of my faves of the collection.


Finally we have Cuckoo for this Color:

Cuckoo for this Color is described as "dark green".


Cuckoo for this Color matte:

Another pretty green. *Sigh* I love green. This guy is a little more blue than Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow Suede, which is the closest color I could find to compare it to. This color is right up my alley. I love the green; love it! OPI needs more dark greens.


Each one of these colors was a breeze to apply and all dried quickly. All six colors were easy to remove and there was no staining from any of them; not even the blue or green! Woot!

OPI's Swiss collection shades are big 3 free and each includes
OPI's exclusive ProWide brush. The collection will be available in August.

Which color will you be buying?

Pin It!
