Well HELLO there! You know what time it is. I think I say this every single time and every single season, but it’s the most exciting time of the year because we’re looking at A NEW OPI COLLECTION. Listen, I’ll say it straight out, OPI collections are always the most popular posts on my blog, so I know you’re all as excited about them as I am. And this one has a full range of bright summery colors that cover a whole shimmery rainbow. 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.

AKT offers help to any member of the LGBTQIA+ in the UK who is either experiencing homelessness or is living in a hostile environment. They offer homes, education and training to anyone aged 16-25 who is struggling.I am really excited about the OPI Power of Hue Summer 2022 Collection. I honestly want the whole collection, as the shades are all so pretty. I think my favourites would have to be Go To Grape Lengths, Don’t Wait. Create, Pink BIG, Feel Bluetiful and Make Rainbows. They have committed their hard work to ensure that everyone who is struggling can feel safe when searching for help from the Albert Kennedy Trust. You can show your support to AKT and donate here. Our notes on the OPI Power of Hue Collection Don't Wait. Create: A bright lilac with a very slight pink undertone and loads of glitter! Power of Hue Summer Nail Polish Collection: 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.

Express yourself boldly this summer with a technicolor rainbow that will empower you to speak up, stand out, and show the world the Powerof Hue Exercise Your Brights: A dazzling raspberry jam bright pink with a glimmering shimmer. Power of Hue Summer Nail Polish Collection: Bee Unapologetic: This is a sheer bright yellow with golden iridescent shimmers. I don't mind sheer polishes as long as the coverage is even. However, similar to previous shades, Bee Unapologetic is sheer but patchy so I needed three coats for a smooth and even coverage.

Top 10 This Year

We are seeing lots of summer themed nail polish collections launch right now, and the OPI Power of Hue Summer 2022 Collection has dropped as this year’s OPI summer collection. With this collection, OPI aims to spread awareness about the discrimination and struggles members of the LGBTQIA+ face on a daily basis. The aim of this collection is to ensure that every member of the OPI collection feels understood and accepted. With your help and love for the OPI Power of Hue Collection, OPI has been able to support two of the most influential charities that help the LGBTQIA+ community, The Trevor Project and the Albert Kennedy Trust!

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.

Next up we have ‘Pink BIG’. The shade right after this one looks very similar, and is the same depth of color – this one is the more fuchsia and cooler-toned of the two. This one is filled with silvery holographic glitters all throughout. 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. 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! 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. This one did feel the most squishy and jelly-like of the bunch, so it was a little more sheer on the 1st coat. It was pretty well opaque with 2 – though this is one that definitely needed 3 on my super ridged nails. If your nails are smooth, you should be good with just 2.
