OPI: Your Royal Shine-ness & Nicole by OPI: White Texture


Alright, I'll admit it, I am not sold on all the crackle nail polishes that are out now. I know it's a big trend but I am just not a huge fan.  I know a lot of you love it so I have been trying to feature some looks here and there. 

A co-worker of mine got her nails done this week and they used a crackle polish on here and I thought it looked great.  It was a cracked pattern  I haven't seen, much different from the shatter.  She didn't remember the brand but I gave her a mission to find out for me.  Since I liked her nails so much I decided to try and recreate the look with polishes in my collection. Here's what I came up with.

I used OPI's Your Royal Shine-ness and topped it with Nicole by OPI's White Texture which is the same formula as OPI's shatter polishes.  While hers looked slightly cooler I do like this look a lot.

Happy Independence Day!


Happy Independence Day to those of you reading from America! This is a fun holiday and I love having the day off :-) I tried to create a patriotic nail design to be festive, I stink at nail art so I did something simple. I haven't really embraced the crackle nail trend (I tend to think the old school crackle polishes created a cuter design) but I used the new Nicole by OPI texture coats for this design.

Here's what I used:

On my pinkie and thumb (not pictured I have one coat of China Glaze in Snow topped with the Nicole by OPI texture coat in Red.  Then on my pointer and my pinkie I have one coat of Zoya's  Sookie topped with the Nicole by OPI texture coat in White. As you can probably see, there was no real need to change it up like that because the end result is practically the same. Oh well! 

On my ring finger is the amazing Revlon Top Speed polish in Royal (it's a gorgeous royal blue jelly!!) topped with the Cover Girl Boundless Color top coat in Disco Dazzle which is awesome!!!!



So what do you think? Did I capture the holiday on my nails?

White and Red Shatter Debut for French Open!


Serena Williams Serves Up Four New Shades for OPI Glam Slam! Collection

OPI captures Serena Williams’ winning spirit with four additions to the Glam Slam! collection, including two new shades of the fashionable, must-have Shatter –Red and White.  Launching in conjunction with the French Open, Glam Slam! Francecelebrates with two duo-packs for four unbeatable looks.

The first Lacquer set includes Spark de Triomphe (a monumentally marvelous silver glitter), paired with White Shatter. Once applied over completely dried Nail Lacquer, Shatter begins to crackle, leaving behind a two-texture pattern on each nail. The second Lacquer set features Rally Pretty Pink (rise to the occasion with this shimmering sunset-pink), paired with Red Shatter.

“We are very excited to continue working with tennis superstar Serena Williams to launch the next Glam Slam! shades,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “France is a country with a rich history in fashion and setting trends. These four new color options are ideal for showcasing your own personal style, à la Serena, whether worn alone or overlaid with Shatter for instant nail art.”

“Whether I’m on or off the court, style is important,” explains Serena Williams. “In addition to watching the runways for the latest trends, I think it’s important to add my own unique elements. With the new White and Red Shatter, I can customize my nails for a high-fashion take on the classically elegant silver and sunset shades in the Glam Slam! France collection.”

Serena Williams has received the World Number One in singles ranking by the Women’s Tennis Association on five separate occasions, along with being listed as sixth on the all-time greatest champions list.  Additionally, she has won two Olympic gold medals in women’s doubles and has earned 27 Grand Slam titles to date. Serena is the most recent player to have held all four Grand Slam singles titles simultaneously and only the fifth woman in history to do so.

New shades in the Glam Slam! collection will be introduced to coincide with each of the four major tournaments, beginning with the Australian Open in January 2011, followed by launches in May 2011 for the French Open, June 2011 for Wimbledon and August 2011 for the US Open. As with all OPI Nail Lacquers, theGlam Slam! collection contains no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and each includes OPI’s exclusive ProWide Brush for the ultimate in application
.
Glam Slam! France will be available beginning May 2011 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $14.95 ($20.95 CAN) suggested retail for each duo-pack.

OPI Launches Bestselling Shatter Coat in Three Blue-Hued Shades
