OPI for Sephora Summer 2012 Collection - Indian Summer

Back when Sephora first starting carrying the OPI for Sephora collection, they were among my favorite polishes.  However the last time that I went into my local Sephora, they had a brand new Nail Station and my store now carries a limited line of Nails Inc and Illamasqua (FINALLY!!!) polishes.  Even though this line was all over the front of the stand, I ignored into and ran right to the back for the above brands.  Don't get me wrong...I still like this brand of polishes and I find great shades every season from them but other brands are beginning to overshadow their store display.  OPI for Sephora has finally released their new summer collection, it is only six new shades but they look great on first glimpse.

This new collection of polishes is named Indian Summer and it consists of single polish hues and a set of mini polishes.  This time around, I am hoping that the set of polishes actually contains polishes from the collection, Sephora please tell me that you have learned from my complaining about the past few sets that have come with the collection!  I can tell that this collection will make me want more nail polish hues...I already see a bright pink polish.  I have bought more pink polishes this season than any time before but I keep finding more shades that I want to add to my collection!

"A collection of vibrant polishes that capture the heat of summer.  This set of bold colors pays homage to the carefree attitude of a sizzling summer vacation, reminding you to kick off your sandals, enjoy a sunset, and soak up the sun.  Whether you leave the house in a bikini or a little black dress, these chic polishes will add instant flare and a kiss of summer to any look.  From tantalizing turquoise to fierce fuchsia and bright poppy orange, this bevy of beautiful shades will have your tips looking as hot as the sun overhead feels."

I am all over the new set, finally Sephora has decided to make a set that only contains new shades from the collection.  And it even contains some of the best shades at that, good job Sephora!  However I actually thinking that I might skip over the set since I really want many of the single shades, my favorite shade is the one that I have pictured.  This shade is I'm So Sari, one of the best glitters that I have seen this summer.  I love this turquoise hue and I must buy this the next time that I go to Sephora.  The only other shade that I must own is Look Like Rain Dear, this is a lovely and very unique gold shade that I will wear all through the summer and well into the fall and holiday season.  I like What Aura You Gonna Wear? but it isn't the most unique hot pink and since I just bought Illamasqua's Collide shade, I don't really need another hot pink shade the way that I need the two above shades.

This line still doesn't hold a candle to Illamasqua or Nails Inc but this is a solid collection that I think will sell very well this summer.
