For Summer 2022, OPI is injecting some color into your nail wardrobe with 12 limited edition shades. Featuring a rainbow of shimmery brights, the Power of Hue Collection is available now. I've got reviews and swatches of all 12 shades to share with you today. To read on, click......
Pink BIG:This is a dark Barbie pink scattered with purple and pink iridescent shimmers. The formulation is decently pigmented so two coats provide a nice and even finish.
Exercise Your Brights: A bright neon pink with light pink iridescent shimmers, Exercise Your Brights is slightly sheer. With a skilled application, you can probably get away with two coats but I needed three to ensure an even coverage.

Sugar Crush It: This soft cotton candy pink is scattered with pale pearlescent shimmers. The formulation is sheer so I needed three coats for the swatches below.
Sun-rise Up: A delicious soft coral pink, Sun-rise Up features a light scattering of warm gold shimmers. Unfortunately, the formulation is on the patchier side so I needed three coats to ensure a full coverage.
The Future Is Yours: This is a soft caramel nude with a subtle hint of golden iridescence. Similar to the previous shades, the coverage is not great so I needed three coats for the swatches below.

Mango For It: One of my favorites from the collection, Mango For It is a bright, cheery orange, packed with golden iridescent shimmers. The formulation is slightly sheer so I needed three coats for a nice and even finish.
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.
Make Rainbows: A bright summer green, Make Rainbows stands out from the rest with a fine sprinkle of frosty blue shimmers (instead of iridescent flake shimmers). Unfortunately, the color is still sheer so I needed three coats for the swatches below.

Sky True to Yourself: This is a beautiful baby blue scattered with soft blue and pearlescent shimmers. The formulation is sheer so I needed three coats.
Go to Grape Lengths: A bold purple scattered with blue and pearl shimmers, Go To Grape Lengths is decently pigmented. You can probably get away with two coats but I used three just in case for a fully opaque finish.

The OPI Summer 2022 Power of Hue Collection isavailable in the original Nail Lacquer, GelColor, and Infinite Shine formulation starting May 2022.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.
This is the ‘Power of Hue’ collection for Summer 2022 from OPI. It’s our traditional 12 bottle release, and as always I grabbed this from my favorite nail polish supply shop, polishpick.com. Check it out and as always, let her know I sent you. Of course, we have a lot of shades to talk about, so really let’s just get right into it, you’ve been waiting for long enough. I’m not even rambling for once, I’m just letting the photos speak for themselves to bring you in, and then from there decide on individual formulas. ONTO THE SWATCHES.
Opi Power Of Hue Summer 2022 Collection Swatch And Review
Now for all 12 of these shades, none are straight up creams. All of these have some sort of shimmer and glitter to them – from a subtle fine glitter flash, to scattered glitters to larger glitter flakes. This is a shimmer collection, so if you want these colors and just a cream formula, this is not the collection. Just getting that right out there. I do love different formulas and a theme for a mainstream brand, so I wasn’t mad at OPI trying something new. Alright, into the individual shades.
Alright, up first we have a quad of pink shades. And starting out that lineup, we have ‘Sugar Crush It’. This is the lightest and most “ballet pink” of the shades, and it has delicate iridescent flakes all throughout.
I got this pretty well opaque with 2 – using a 2nd thicker coat. Though with my very ridged nails I did end up using a 3rd coat on a couple nails that had some patches. But I think most will be good with just 2 coats.
The Best Nail Polishes For 2022
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.
This felt a touch more like a jelly formula with those sparkles suspended all throughout. Even with that squish, this was pretty well opaque in 2 coats for me – though depending on your application and if you have longer nails, you might want a 3rd to cover any last nail line. I also noticed this one, along with a handful of other shades in the collection dry with a more satin matte finish – not sure if it’s the brighter pigments used or what – but a good coat of top coat will really bring out that sparkle. It’s not a super quick drying matte shade, so you have plenty of time to work with it, like a normal cream formula.
Now for that last shade’s brighter, more warm-toned pair, this is ‘Exercise Your Brights’. It’s an almost bright coral pink shade with flecked pink glitter all throughout.

It was definitely a little uneven on the 1st coat, and I was able to get most nails opaque with a 2nd. Though I did have some patches on some nails that I covered with a 3rd so again, it’ll depend on your own application. And again, just like the previous shade, and you can see in the photos, it dries with a more satin matte finish, so top coat to really bring out the sparkle and shine.
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.
Once again, an uneven 1st coat, and pretty well opaque with a 2nd though I did have some nails that I added a 3rd. You know the drill – it’ll depend on your own application. But of course I’ll be honest and say this was a touch more uneven and sheer than I’ve noticed normally with OPI cream formulas.

Now we continue on along the rainbow with ‘The Future is You’. This is a peachy orange, almost slightly beige shade. It definitely pulls more peachy on my own nails and undertones, but on others it can look more orange or beige-y.
This one was more opaque than previous shades, and it easily covered in 2 coats with no issues for me. Super smooth and the lovely OPI cream formula I’ve come to know.
And of course we need a TRUE BRIGHT ORANGE in the lineup. This is ‘Mango For It’, a true bright tropical orange base with tons of golden shimmer all throughout.

Again, a little more sheer and uneven on the 1st coat, but I was able to get it opaque with 2 coats. And again, you know the drill, it’ll depend on your application – you might need a 3rd for any last visible nail line. Like the brighter pink shades above, it also dried with a more satin matte finish.
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.
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.

Did you guess it was time for green? Well it’s time for green, and it just might be a contender for favorite of the collection. This is ‘Make Rainbows’ and it’s a bright lime green shade with an aqua blue shimmer to it – again a touch subtle on the
