OPI Nail Polish | Power of Hue Collection | Long-Lasting Luxury Nail Varnish | Original High-Performance

Product Information

Although I just shared the swatches of the OPI Spring 2022 collection, slowly some information about the OPI Summer 2022 collection is being released! Every time OPI releases a new collection, I’m super excited. This time is definitely no different! The new collection is going to be called ‘Power of hue’ and will consist of 12 bright new shades.

Again, a little more sheer and uneven on the 1st coat, but I was able to get it opaque with 2 coats. And again, you know the drill, it’ll depend on your application – you might need a 3rd for any last visible nail line. Like the brighter pink shades above, it also dried with a more satin matte finish. Now for the very last of the pinks, and with one that transitions us on into the oranges so beautifully. This is ‘Sun-rise Up’ and it’s a peachy, almost coral pink shade with golden orange shimmer all throughout. I will say that shimmer is a touch subtle on the nails, so I always wish it was a little more prominent, but that’s a minor complaint. Did you guess it was time for green? Well it’s time for green, and it just might be a contender for favorite of the collection. This is ‘Make Rainbows’ and it’s a bright lime green shade with an aqua blue shimmer to it – again a touch subtle on the nails and I would have loved to see more of it. Use a detail brush and Infinite Shine Alpine Snow to create dots for eyes and a smile. Allow to dry.The OPI Power of Hue Collection not only has a wonderful colour palette but a wonderful message behind it and in this blog, we will explore both! Don't Wait. Create.: This is a pretty lavender scattered with soft pearlescent iridescence. The formulation is fairly sheer so applying three coats is a must. The Trevor Project is one of the biggest organisations created to support the LGBTQIA+ youth communities in distress. The Trevor Project dedicates its hard work to spreading suicide awareness, diminishing the growing number of LGBTQIA+ suicides and offering support to anyone who might need it 24/7. Sun-rise Up: A delicious soft coral pink, Sun-rise Up features a light scattering of warm gold shimmers. Unfortunately, the formulation is on the patchier side so I needed three coats to ensure a full coverage.

OPI partnered with the Trevor Project to help create a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community, a space in which they can express themselves freely and without any fears or anxieties. OPI believes in the work of the Trevor Project and has donated to the organisation to show their support! For this summer season, OPI decided that the focus should be not only on having the best manicures and pedicures, but it is most important that we understand the impact of our actions on the LGBTQIA+ youths.

Now we continue on along the rainbow with ‘The Future is You’. This is a peachy orange, almost slightly beige shade. It definitely pulls more peachy on my own nails and undertones, but on others it can look more orange or beige-y. Express yourself boldly this summer with a technicolor rainbow that will empower you to speak up, stand out, and show the world thePowerofHue.“ And we’ve made it to the end! – of the rainbow, and the collection. Last but certainly not least we have ‘Go to Grape Lengths’, and this is a deeper and cooler toned grape purple shade with bright blue shimmer all throughout. Exercise Your Brights: A dazzling raspberry jam bright pink with a glimmering shimmer. Power of Hue Summer Nail Polish Collection:

This is definitely the prettiest OPI collection I have seen in a while, especially since all of these shades are going to be opaque shimmers. It reminds me a bit of what I wanted the OPI Summer 2019 to be. I’m glad that we now get what we want! I’m a massive OPI fan anyway, but the OPI Power of Hue Summer 2022 Collection is the prettiest nail polish collection they’ve done in a long time. Alright, up first we have a quad of pink shades. And starting out that lineup, we have ‘Sugar Crush It’. This is the lightest and most “ballet pink” of the shades, and it has delicate iridescent flakes all throughout. Orly Pop! Summer 2022 • Glam Polish Cosmic Holos Collection • China Glaze Jurassic World Summer 2022 • Essie Summer 2022 •LA Colors Boho Chic Collection • Pleasing Shroom Bloom Collection Make Rainbows: A bright summer green, Make Rainbows stands out from the rest with a fine sprinkle of frosty blue shimmers (instead of iridescent flake shimmers). Unfortunately, the color is still sheer so I needed three coats for the swatches below.

The Albert Kennedy Trust also discovered that 59% of the people who have entered their study have faced at least one form of abuse or discrimination when attempting to access help services because of their identity.

They not only offer a safe space for anyone from the community where they can feel safe but they are dedicated to spreading awareness about the LGBTQIA+ in schools to prevent discrimination from its early stages. Go to Grape Lengths: A bold purple scattered with blue and pearl shimmers, Go To Grape Lengths is decently pigmented. You can probably get away with two coats but I used three just in case for a fully opaque finish. Repeat step 3 stamping additional dots of Infinite Shine Feel Bluetiful, Exercise Your Brights, Mango For It, and Bee Unapologetic to cover the remainder of the nail. Allow to dry. For this collection, OPI partnered with The Trevor Project, the world's largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organisation to spread awareness about the increasing number of LGBTQIA+ youth suicides. With this collection, OPI wants to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and how important acceptance and kindness are. Logically, of course, we move right onto the yellow. This is ‘Bee Unapologetic’ (I do love that name), and it’s a bright lemon yellow shimmer shade.

Now we finish on up with our purples. This is ‘Don’t Wait, Create’ and it’s the lighter of the 2, and it’s a warm toned lilac base with scattered silvery flakey shimmers all throughout.
