I'm a little bit meh until I see swatches...

 

[crystrill]

I'm from Miami and none of these colors make me think of Miami.

 

[Zantedge]

Yeah, when I think of Miami of think of really vibrant colours... definitely not lilac and pale pink. There's couple that look nice, but I'm not overly excited.

 

[florabundance]

Not South Beach-y to me either, but I like the look of them

 

[ratmist]

Meh indeed. I was expecting them to be bright, really really vibrant, almost tacky looking with 80s-90s flair.

 

[Shadowy Lady]

I like a couple of them just by their names. But really I cannot judge them till I see them in person or at least see some swatches

So far the China Glaze summer collection is kicking OPIs ass! Also the last 90210 releases were yawn-inducing...

These colours are softer than I would have expected for a South Beach inspired collection. Where are the uber-vibrant shades? I would have expected clear, bright, undiluted colours.

None of them really jump out to me...The conga-line coral looks cute tho but other than that, I'd probably have to see them in person

that conga line coral reminds a little bit of cajun shrimp...well not a lot, but a tad...

i was expecting realy hot,bright super summery beachy colors. Not these

 

[knoxydoll]

Nothing screaming buy me, buy me. I do kind of like the conga line coral though.

 

[CantAffordMAC]

now that i saw the swatches, i like the really pretty golden/butterscotchy one, the conga line coral one, and the hot pink one.

OMG that broke my heart! I was beyond excited that there would be a 90210 collection, and anticipated it for quite some time. And they release 3 oddly similar and not that pretty reds with names that aren't even cute! I was hoping for like, a Donna Martin Graduates ruby red, a West Beverly creamy white, maybe even a Peach Pit. Blech! And the south beach collection is just as snooze-inducing

 

[BEA2LS]

yea i like my colors much brighter than this for summer!!

 

[chocokitty]

I agree that I would think the colors would be vibrant -- but I'm the type that has to see the polish in person. So I will be checking this out.

I like Clubbing Til Sunrise, the rest are just "meh".

I was expecting more blues and greens.
