Truth be told, I'm not always inspired by the OPI collections these days. The France Collection from 2008 and the Muppets Collection from 2011 are the two against which I hold all other collections, and most just tend to fall short for me. But the New Orleans Collection? Oh, it was GOOOOOD. And, yes, I know it was from 2016 -- but I'm still completely in love with all the bright, fun colors that just scream New Orleans! Show Us Your Tips! and I Manicure For Beads are the two other colors I totally love from this collection, but I Got Myself Into A Jam-balaya? Totally the perfect coral.

I'm holding fiercely onto the end of summer -- which, I know means something a little different in LA, since "winter" here is pretty darn warm. But there's still a general shift in attitude and mentality once the temperatures cool even slightly, and people are ready for boots and pumpkin spice lattes. Coral nails just keep the summer party going a little bit longer for me!
This is one of those corals that's just bold, arresting and made to be noticed. Two coats yield even, perfect color -- no streaks or smudges -- and it's opaque without turning matte. It's just creamy and delicious! It definitely leans more neon, which I love, so I honestly have been staring at my nails for the last two days in awe and wonder.
Crushing on coral? Absolutely.
OPI Got Myself Into A Jam-balaya retails for $9 at jet.com.
LOL, I hear you on the "winter" - I'm i Arizona and I rejoiced that it was in the lower 70's at 7am this morning and yesterday. So sad. Because it stays warm, I think we allowed to rock the summer colors all year round. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun coral. You're completely right about OPI's recent collections. My "last" favourite was the Euro one - 2011-2012 or so, I think.
ReplyDeleteI think I actually own this polish color! It's so pretty! Creams are my favorite of all.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the prettiest shades ever. I love the richness of it.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful shade!
ReplyDeleteNot exactly my kind of color but it looks great on you! And I agree that the New Orleans collection was really good.
