Here are three beautiful pastel Sephora by OPI and some terrible swatches of them. I have a deep love for yellow nail polishes, especially pastel yellows, and how could Peachy pass up a pastel peach nail polish. As pastel creams go, these have a terrific formula. All these swatches are three coats, which I did because my nails are in terrible condition right now. They would certainly be opaque in two if you have nice nails or use a ridge filling basecoat to smooth things out, which I did not. They weren't streaky at all and the wide brush SOPI has switched to works well for these to further prevent streaks. I pretty much did one stroke for each nail, instead of my usual three.
Why Yellow There
A beautiful buttery pastel yellow. It's a great warm pastel yellow--Sephora aptly calls it buttercream--which is nice because most pastel yellows I find are citrusy, cool green toned yellows. This might be my dream polish, and it applies like a dream. Forget the cliche of terrible to apply yellow polishes, this is not one of them.
Is It Payday Yet?
I don't need to keep raving about the formula, do I? This one dried a little darker than in the bottle, but it's a pale lime green either way. Another great color description from Sephora, as this one is described as key lime pie. Yummy!
Give Peach a Chance
I love it when Sephora by OPI or OPI has a cute polish name, on account of the cringeworthiness of most of them, but how can you not love "Give Peach a Chance." This one is a super pale peach; Sephora describes it as nude peach, which I don't really see. It's not an overly pink peach, it has a nice yellow base, but is pretty neutral, so maybe that's what they mean. I think it could work as a conservative workplace color without being dull or blah. I really want to try my first gradient with the three of these. I'll post pics if I do.I totally forgot to watermark all these pictures.
