OPI Summer Flutter Collection Summer 2010

This is one of those mini-collections OPI does right around summertime... Like last year's Sunbelievable or Night Brights.

I actually thought this was going to be just like Sunbelievable when I saw the promo pics, but I was totally wrong.

Oh, it's a bummer, but I couldn't get any sunlight pics of these. Because... there was no sun. But I think they look pretty good indoors!


Catch Me In Your Net. Super sparkly glittery blue with gold glitter and subtle green duochrome. It's so sparkly my camera couldn't focus on it! Kinda sweet. You may be thinking, "Why, that looks like Zoya Charla!" I would have to say to you... You're right. It does. It's practically dead-on identical. Look:

Index and ring fingers: OPI Catch Me In Your Net
Middle and Pinkie: Zoya Charla

The reason I'm not calling it 100% identical is visible in that comparison. Charla is sparklier. It's more opaque, too. Those are both three coats and you can see visible nail line on the OPI but not on the Zoya. It also seems that the sparkle/glitter particles in Charla are larger. But, color-wise, they're the same. Only minute differences.

Flit a Bit. Standard orange creme. Not too red, not too yellow. I love it , but I can't say it's unique. Why is this the only creme in the collection? This might have been cool with some glitter, too. Maybe that's why they decided to make Nicole Traffic Cone. Not many glittery oranges in existence!


Flower to Flower. Under fluorescent lighting, the shimmer in this looked gold to me. In daylight I can clearly see that the shimmer is silver. That's... weird. Anyway. This is a bright cool bubblegum pink with fine silver shimmer. Very pretty, and it adds a surprising pop of color on my cool skintone.



Wing It! This as a very unusual color. It's very hard to describe. It's a deep reddish pink at some angles and it's weird murky pink-orange at others... So weird murky orange-pink jelly totally packed with blue-violet iridescent glass fleck shimmer. Or glitter. Glittery shimmer. Gorgeous. I wish OPI would do more of these duochrome-glass fleck- glitter type polishes cause I think they're AMAZING! Really eye-catching, even in low light.


The formula was great. Much better than the Shrek ones and more like the OPI formula I'm used to. Not thick, not thin, not goopy, not runny. I did three coats of all, but only the two glitters needed the third. Dry time was good. Dries to a shiny finish without topcoat. I don't know why I mention that in my review, cause you should be using topcoat anyway. But not all polish does dry shiny without topcoat, so... it's relevant, right?

Overall, I think this is a cute little collection. I'm happy with it. It has two glitters and orange! I want OPI to do more of these glass fleck style of glitters. They look awesome. Do a purple one!
