Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.For Fall 2023, OPI draws inspiration from the astrological chart with their new Big Zodiac Energy Collection. Featuring 12 jewel-tone shimmers that represent each of the 12 astrological signs, the collection is available now online and in stores. I've swatched up all 12 shades in the Infinite Shine formulation today so read a bit about each, click......
Kiss My Aries:This is a bold jewel-tone red with a shimmery finish. The formulation contains some chunkier shimmers so the finish is a bit bumpy, which is a shame because the color is gorgeous. With that said, the polish is still nicely pigmented. I used two coats for the swatches below.

Taurus-t Me:This is a pretty green shimmer scattered with sandy gold flecks. The formulation is extremely sheer. For the swatches below I used two coats. I suppose I could have kept on building the color but I didn't think it was worthwhile given how extremely sheer the formulation is.

Gemini and I:This is a delicate pearlescent shimmer. The formulation is sheer but buildable. I used two coats for the swatches below.

I Cancer-tainly Shine:Packed with scattered holographic silver glitters, this is a fun glitter polish. Although the formulation is not too sparse, the finish is still patchy so at least three coats are needed for a semi-full coverage.

The Leo-nly One:A stunning yellow gold with a frosty finish, The Leo-nly One is slightly sheer. The formulation is also quite runny and the finish is streaky. I used three coats for the swatches below.

#Virgoals:This is a unique duo-chrome shimmer that shifts between a rusty rose and a subtle greenish gold. The formulation is runny and I needed three coats for a presentable finish.

Feeling Libra-ted:This is a magenta purple packed with lavender purple glitter flakes. The formulation is sheer and chunky. I used three coats for a full coverage. A good top coat is definitely needed to smooth off the finish.

Feelin' Capricorn-y:Another very unique shade, this is a sage green packed with blue and lavender pink shimmers. The formulation is fairly good but I still needed three coats for a nice and even finish.

Aquarius Renegade:A beautiful denim blue with a slightly frosty finish, this shade is impressively pigmented. The finish, however, is a touch streaky, I used two coats for the swatches below.

To be completely honest, I'm disappointed with this collection. For once, all of the colors are actually unique and gorgeous but the formulation is a letdown. The OPI Infinite Shine polishes tend to be fairly creamy and pigmented but the majority of these shades are extremely sheer. Additionally, a lot of the colours have a very runny consistency so the application was challenging. Therefore, if you like some of the colors in this collection, I would recommend checking out the GelColor or Powder Perfection formulation instead.
Availability:The OPI Fall 2023 Big Zodiac Energy Collection is available in the Nail Lacquer, GelColor, Powder Perfection, and Infinite Shine formulation.
