OPI MLB Collection Nail Art for the Cleveland Indians #RollTribe
Yesterday was the Cleveland Indians home opener and, in spite of the rain delays, wind and overall crazy weather, they managed to pull out a major win over the Twins. Now, because I suffer enough with weather during Browns season, I never go to opening day at The Jake (sorry Progressive), but I cheer from home with #RollTribe pride.
Fortunately, the new OPI MLB Collection arrived a few days ago, just in time for me to create some Indians-themed nail art. Partnering with a sports league is a first for OPI and these seven new shades scream Americana, just like our national pastime.
Truth, I’m not the biggest baseball fan, I’m a football girl, but I love to watch the first home game of the season and try to get down to the stadium at some point during the summer, preferably on a fireworks night. Regardless, I love my city and will always support our sports teams, no matter how many times they let us down. Today I’m showing my CLE pride along with some love for the Tribe.
For this manicure I used five of the seven OPI MLB
To begin, I polished all my nails, except the thumb, with three coat of OPI Girls Love Diamonds
I then used my dotting tool
Next, I pulled out a striper brush
Finally, I made my thumb the accent nail by applying two coats of OPI Umpires Come Out at Night
The OPI MLB Collection is available now at salons and spas nationwide and online at ULTA.com. OPI nail polish retails for $9/ea for a .5oz bottle. There is also a mini set with 6 of 7 shades available on Amazon.com
What do you think of this collaboration between OPI and the MLB? Do you plan to pick up any of the OPI MLB polishes? Do you prefer going to baseball or football games? Or neither?

What a cute mani you created!
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, nope, I’m not buying any of these. My beloved Rockies’ team colors are black and purple, neither of which are represented in this collection.
Not to mention that I already have *cough* quite an assortment of polishes in what I call “Rockies purple”, which I wear when I attend the games. Yes, I’m a huge baseball fan, and really don’t pay attention to football at all.
I’m liking Girls Love Diamonds and Right Off the Bat. And if you think being a Cleveland sports fan is tough, you should live in Chicago…and be a Cubs fan…
Good point Pam, ha!
I’m disappointed that they choose the “Cleveland Indians” to partner with, not bc of anything about the team but because it comes off as endorsing their team name. If we called them the “Cleveland Mexicans” and had an old-school stereotype cartoon Mexican as the logo and encouraged fans to dress up as racist stereotypes of Mexicans, I think it’d be obvious to everyone that it was uncool… so why all the “Indians” and “Redskins” and “Chiefs” out there?
This is a great piece about it:

Hi Dani, I’m not quite sure you read my entire post. OPI didn’t partner with the Cleveland Indians. They partnered with Major League Baseball. I live in Cleveland and created the nail art to support my city’s team.
I love the hues in this collection! I love the baseball nail art!
Nice art! I’d like to see the NFL partner up with someone. I’m constantly on the lookout for the most obnoxious, hurt-your-eyes, glittery orange and blue polishes for my beloved Broncos. I don’t wear them in my outside the stadium life, but at the games? Oh yeah, baby…the brighter the better… it’s hard to overdo it in the stadium. My favorite oranges at this minute are Zoya Amy and China Glaze Riveting. I’m still looking for a Broncos blue with the same glass fleck-type finish but haven’t yet been able to find it.
I’m the opposite of TropicalChrome — it’s football only for me, and I don’t pay attention to baseball. I know who the Rockies’ Todd Helton is only because he’s Peyton Manning’s BFF. lol
Hi Shell! The NFL did partner with someone, COVERGIRL. They launched their #Nailgating campaign last fall and featured nail art “fanicures” for all the teams. http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2013/11/nailgating-covergirl-blushing-noir-cleveland-browns-pittsburgh-steelers-game.html
I can’t seem to find them online at Ulta- are they still available there?
Weird, I don’t see them listed. But I did see them for sale at a Sally Beauty store recently.
