LE OPI Hello Flamingo Collection Swatches

Hi there everyone, happy Sunday.  Yesterday was a busy day because the hubby and I spent the entire day at Turkey Run State Park in Indiana.  We usually go once or twice a year and do some hiking and fossil hunting.  This time we spent the entire day, hiked and fossil hunted, had lunch and sat around, and then did more hiking after lunch.  Man am I sore today haha!  It was fun though, plus I got a ton of people watching in.  Does anyone else have fun people watching?  Today is going to be a pretty chill day, the only thing planned is a bonfire and s'mores.  

Today I have swatches of two Limited Edition (ahhhh, there are those words again) OPIs, the bad thing is that they can only be found at Cosmoprof, which requires a beauty license to shop at.  I got these polishes through my friend who I swap OPI polishes with every month.  This Hello Flamingo collection consists of two new polishes, Flamingo Tini Pink and Feel The Mo-heat-oes Green, along with four re-released shades, including Alpine Snow, You're Such a Budapest, No Room for the Blues, and Pink Flamenco.

First up is Flamingo Tini Pink, which is a pastel bubblegum pink cream.  The formula on this one was really good and I only needed two coats for full coverage.  I also used topcoat for the photos below.



The second of the two new polishes is Feel the Mo-heat-oes Green, which is a pastel mint green cream.  The formula on this one was a bit tricky, thin but buildable.  If you are familiar with the thin-ish formula of OPI You're Such a Budapest, this one had the exact same kind of formula.  I used three thin coats with topcoat below.  I am obsessed with this color, it's really pretty!



There you have it, two new OPIs.  I was lucky that my friend surprised me with these, my back up option would be to have asked my hairdresser, who is fine with picking up polishes for me.  Will you be picking up these polishes?
