O.P.I. Spring 2010 Collection - Hong Kong

O.P.I.'s newest collection for spring is called Hong Kong and is based on the Asian culture alive in that city. I'm not quite sure what exactly Hong Kong has do to with spring but I guess that I will find out as I look through this collection. O.P.I. describes the collection as follows, "City edge. Shades that capture the brillant sharpness of the cityscape. A modern mood of color and persceptive for spring". Ok let's look at the shades.

Red My Fortune Cookie - bright cream red, appears to be more on the warm toned side

Bling Dynasty - shimmering gold

A Good Man-darin Is Hard To Find - orange-red cream

Hot & Spicy - coral cream

Chop-sticking To My Story - warm-toned caramel cream

Jade Is The New Black - mid-tone green cream

Suzi Says Feng Shui - cobalt blue cream

Dim Sum Plum - mid-tone berry cream

Meet Me On The Star Ferry - shimmering pale violet

Lucky Lucky Lavender - pale purple cream

Panda-monium Pink - light pink cream

Pearl Of Wisdom - lustrous pearl shimmer

I guess I can see the point about the cutting edge and modern colors. I do like that there is a huge range of colors in this collection, this should go over well with the general market. Some of the warmer toned shades look as though they would work better in fall than in spring but I do give this company points for being different. From this collection, I want an equal amount of the deeper cool toned shades and the paler shades. I want Jade is the New Black (the polish pictured in the photo) and Suzi Says Feng Shui. Of the paler shades offered, I want Meet Me On the Star Ferry, Lucky Lucky Lavender, Panda-monium Pink, and Pearl of Wisdom.
