"From the filigreed iron of its balconies to the jazz and jambalaya that permeate its air, New Orleans personifies grace, gumption and joie de vivre. The city’s indomitable spirit is the inspiration for OPI’s spring 2016 collection.
New Orleans Collection by OPI features 12 gorgeous new nail lacquers and matching GelColors that take nails and toes from beignets at Café du Monde all the way to nightcaps on Bourbon Street in style. Sweet, spicy, soulful and vibrant, the palette is perfect for a town where parades pop up everywhere, and dancing in the streets is de rigueur.
The New Orleans Collection retails for $10 each ($12.50 CAN) and will be available in February at professional salons, Beauty Brands,
beautybrands.com, Chatters, Dillard’s, Regis, ULTA Beauty and
ulta.com"

Take a Right on Bourbon. Having been to New Orleans before I know this is the first stop to fun. However, the color application is streaky. Not my fave.
Lastly, some fun nail art for this fun collection.
All shades provide full coverage with 2 coats and are super fun spring and mardi grass colors. The possibilities are endless and is made up of several nail polish collection stamples.
What do you think??
Wonderful swatches of them!
