We're feeling witchy...and in need of a PSL. The new OPI fall 2021 swatches have hit shelves, and our mindset has suddenly shifted to all things autumn. (Forgive us, summer.) Make sure to read up on how to get healthier nails, as you'll likely be reapplying these 12 new shades all season long...and then some. 

Inspired by the West Coast, the Downtown LA collection pays homage to the city's rich architecture and sprawling artwork with deep, moody hues that will take you from day to night. (Though, if we're being truthful, we'll be rocking the deep shimmery purple OPI Abstract After Dark 24/7.) 

"Think dark autumnal tones like forest green and midnight blue plus nostalgic pastels and metallics that transcend seasons," OPI says on Instagram of its new permanent colors.

Say no more—we're sold!
