Play the Peonies
It's a lovely soft shimmery pearly pink. It applies smooth but you need to be careful as it can appear tad streaky. This one gets opaque in two coats (quite pigmented for a light shade). I have applied three coats in the photos above.

Be a Dahlia Won’t You?
It is a gorgeous loud fuschia with purple shimmer. I had no problems applying this though it's a bit sheer and gets fully opaque in about 3 coats. I have also applied 3 coats to achieve the result you see in the photos above.

I Lily Love You
It's a sheer pink with jelly finish and contains multicolored flecks. Here's a thing with this shade, you can either wear it alone or layer it up on another shade. It takes about a lovely 2-3 coats to really make it stand out. Just be careful to apply evenly so the flecks don't stray and the polish covers the nail perfectly. In my case above, I failed to apply it perfectly *sigh* but that doesn't stop me from loving it. I Lily Love You takes relatively longer to dry.

OPI Nice Stems! Summer Collection comes with a price tag of PKR 1500 and can be purchased from Agha's, Naheed and Roohi's Day Spa (in Karachi). OPI is also available at Al Fatah (Liberty &Y block) Lahore. Visit OPI Pakistan for more details. These are also available online on Just4girls.pk.
