OPI Spring 2008 Preview – India
OPI Presents a Paradise of Color: The India Collection for Spring/Summer 2008
Color has the energy to excite, to charm, and to soothe – and the shades of the new India Collection by OPI for Spring/Summer 2008 offer a sunny, high-energy palette for nails and lips.
“There has never been a better, brighter moment for color than now,†explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Spring’s fashion palette is filled with rosy pink, magenta, turquoise, yellow (the new ‘it’ shade), tangerine, and geranium red, used as splashes against natural tones and in bold graphic prints. Shades of hot pink, orange, vivid red, and coral on nails are the perfect complement.â€
According to Weiss-Fischmann, lighter shades for nails are so right with the season’s alluring, feminine fabrics. She suggests pale opal nails with delicate dresses of flowing chiffon, organza, tulle, and liquid jersey (very romantic on toes during a midnight walk on the beach); and dove grey nails to accessorize spring’s must-have dress, the body-skimming sheath, shown in soft, watercolor tones. Carnation-pink nails enhance fashion details like sheer overlays, tiered skirts, ruffles, and pleats.
“Neutrals, darks, and metallics add sophisticated color to nails and lips,†says Weiss-Fischmann. “Try these shades with fashion’s long, fluid tunics and loosely cut trousers in mineral tones, as well with high-waisted pants and slouchy jackets – including an updated spin on the safari jacket.â€
Wide-brimmed hats, brightly colored bangles and clutches, open-toed wedge heels, and India-inspired beading and metallic embroidery are important touches.
The 12 shades for nails from the India Collection by OPI allow you to immerse yourself in the season’s color nirvana:

Oh boy could their pic be any smaller???
(PS did OPI raise their retail? $8.50???? Or have I been asleep
Yeah – if we could see bottle photos that would be great! Also, is there a release date? Thanks so much for keeping us informed!
Also, any chance of seeing OMG swatches before their January release?
I’m definitely ready for the spring collections! I can’t wait for them!
Someone copy and pasted your article with no link or credit… dunno if you mind but I would be upset if someone did that with my blog.
The names are so cute, and I can’t wait to get my hands on some of those polishes!!! I do wish the pic was bigger though… btw, the post on makeuptalk.com actually does link to your page as the source at the very bottom of the post.
Mmm I dunno where your seeing that site link this one as a source. I don’t see one.
Could you PLEASE get us a bigger picture of the new shades? That little image is so frustrating. I want to see them!
I do hope that dark blue is a creme. It’s about time!
Hey, Stephanie
It’s actually directly under the last paragraph in the post…
