Two weeks ago I began swatching my Essie polishes and recently I have completed my collection of OPIs.
I purchased the clear nail wheels from BF-Beauty:

A package of 10 wheels was only $4.99. I bought the clear wheels so that I could see the true opacity of each polish.
On the wheels below, I applied 3 coats of each polish. I did not apply a base coat or top coat to any of the nails.

After swatching all of these colours, I discovered that I have very few light pastel spring colours in my OPI collection. Which ones do you recommend?
The wheel seems to be helpful in knowing what shade the polish will look like. I always have to test my old nail polish on one of my nail to see the actual shade.
