Over the past several weeks, I saw several blogposts showing off the new Washington DC collection from OPI. It’s an election themed collection (as if we need more reminders :roll:), and the colors are fall type colors IMHO.
I fell hard for Freedom of Peach.
OPI may call it peach, but I would call it a browned peach, almost closer to a pumpkin shade though not as bright. Whatever it is, I love it! And it’s the perfect fall shade for my skin tone and coloring. Freedom of Peach is a creme formula.
I applied it over Seche Vite Clear Basecoat. Although I put on two coats of Freedom of Peach, it was a little bit streaky – perhaps because I apply my polish at night and can’t see what I’m doing. Next time, if need be, I’ll apply 3 coats but hopefully it won’t be necessary. I finished with Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat.
I picked up OPI Nail Lacquer Freedom of Peach at Ulta during the 20% off coupon event when they were also having a Mix and Match Buy 2 Get One Free nail polish event, but you can certainly use Ulta’s wonderful $3.50 off $10 to buy it, making the price $6.50 that I consider a very good deal.
Do you have a new favorite fall nail polish yet? Do tell!
Oooo, this shade reminds me of Essie Peach Side Babe which I wore almost non stop throughout Summer! It’s so beautiful and looks great on you, Allison. I haven’t bought any OPI nail polish since a year or more, kept getting nail polish through beauty subscriptions so I had to stop myself from hoarding more. LOL!

You know, Shireen, I loved that Essie shade that I saw you wearing in at least one of your posts! I actually looked for it CVS to no avail. When I saw this shade at Ulta, I knew I loved it. But I had forgotten that it looks so much like the Essie! At any rate, I’m glad we both love this gorgeous, wearable color!
Such a pretty shade!

The name is so cute! I think it was the funniest in the collection. And I adore this shade!
I normally love my fall nails to be a little bit on the dark side. I love like a deep, dark merlot color! PS I’m so ready for fall shades!!! My nails are bare right now and I can’t stand it ha!

Isn’t it so pretty? It was a must have for me!
That’s a beautiful shade of polish! It would make the perfect Hallowe’en mani with pumpkins or spiders stamped all over!

I’ll skip the spiders, but pumpkins or witches would be good. I wish I could do nail art.
I think of peach as summer but this looks perfect for fall. I’m always surprised when I look at OPI and it’s $10 since that’s what the nice indies like KBShimmer cost.

I agree, Marcia. I also think of peach as summer but I guess they couldn’t call it Freedom of Squash. Re: the $10 price – I think $10 is a lot for any bottle of nail polish (you can tell I never buy the luxury polishes like Chanel) but I think you can always find OPI at a discount, either through Ulta’s $3.50 coupon, at random websites online, on sale at Sally’s. I think of it was mid-priced.
This is pretty on you!

Perfect transitional shade, I think!
Pretty shade. I apply polish at night too and always end up with streaks because I can’t see, lol!

It’s so much more convenient to do a mani at night especially since I have to take out my contact lenses so I can see what I’m doing. But then I still can’t see what I’m doing, lol! Glad I’m not the only one 😉
Allison, that is so pretty on you! Love it!
