OPI Color Paints Preview

You might remember that in my preview post for Essie's Silk Watercolor Collection, I said they reminded me of the very polarizing OPI Sheer Tints. Well, when I saw OPI's upcoming Color Paints and read the press release describing the polishes as "semi-translucent" and "blendable," I immediately thought, "Sheer Tints-Mark II." But I've seen a couple swatches floating around that make it look like these might be more like jellies that are more buildable than the Sheer Tints (which I personally hated).

There are eight colors and one base shade, a silver chrome. Let's check 'em out!

Since these are apparently the more opaque big sisters of the Sheer Tints, I could actually see myself wearing some of these. I do like a good jelly, so long as it covers any VNL!

These are dropping in May--which is only a week away! (Can you believe it?!) Are you willing to give the Color Paints a shot? Which summer collections are you looking forward to most? I think for me, it's Essie's!
