Peanuts by OPI for Halloween 2014 – Coming Soon
Peanuts by OPI for Halloween 2014
Like a lot of kids of the 80s, I grew up watching It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown every year. I’ve always had an affinity for Peanuts, especially Lucy, Shroeder and Snoopy. And if you’re also an Arrested Development fan, you fangirled out when George Michael took his sullen, “Charlie Brown” head-down walks.
Though, truth be told, Halloween is actually my least favorite holiday. For some reason, it has always creeped me out. Which is why I don’t normally post about Halloween collections but I’m making a huge exception because, PEANUTS!! The Peanuts by OPI collection is actually making me excited for Halloween. This set of four nail polish shades pays homage to the classic comic and its most iconic characters.
The Story
Peanuts by OPI brings to life Charles M. Schulz’s comic strip characters for Halloween 2014. Inspired by “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” the four new limited edition nail lacquer shades include seasonal yellow and black crèmes, as well as two black-based glitter hues.
“‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ is a classic, beloved film,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Brand Ambassador. “Peanuts by OPI celebrates the fun, youthful nature of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and Snoopy with four limited edition nail lacquer shades designed to capture the spirit of Halloween. With two crème and two glitter options, you can switch between a cheery yellow or chic black look, or try adding a layer of glitter for a unique finish.”
The Collection
OPI Good Grief! – The sunny yellow of Charlie Brown’s favorite t-shirt.
OPI To Be or Not To Beagle – Snoopy’s happy-dance of colors in a joyful glitter.
OPI Where’s My Blanket??? – Linus awaits the Great Pumpkin in this orange and black glitter.
OPI WHO ARE YOU CALLING BOSSY?!? – This stormy black is no match for Lucy’s raven hair.

Each of the four shades is also available in the Little Peanuts mini pack, which is sold with ten nail decals ranging from popular Peanuts phrases like “Good Grief!” and “Pow!” to sketches of Snoopy and the signature squiggle of Charlie Brown’s shirt.
“These stickers offer a playful, kitschy way to add instant art to nails,” adds Weiss-Fischmann. “My favorite decal pays tribute to Snoopy’s many kisses – ‘Smak!’”
OPI Little Peanuts Minis
I don’t know about you guys, but when I first looked at To Be or Not To Beagle, I thought the glitters were actually printed with the faces of the Peanuts gang. My mind is clearly playing tricks on me but it really looked like Lucy’s face at the bottom.
The cremes may not be the most unique but they fit with the theme and the glitters represent the colors of Peanuts and The Great Pumpkin beautifully. And I will definitely pick up the minis just to get the nail stickers. Commence ULTA stalking!
The Peanuts by OPI collection launches September 2014 at salons nationwide, including ULTA and ULTA.com. OPI nail polish retails for $9.50/ea for a .5oz bottle. The Little Peanuts mini set retails for $13.95. Visit OPI.com for more info.
Are you as excited as I am to see OPI partner with Peanuts? Do you think this means there are more collections to come? Do you plan to pick up any of these polishes?

I have loved Peanuts since I was a little girl, and still do. As has been happening the last couple of years, I was thrilled to see this unique partnership, and wholly disappointed when I saw the collection (as I was with Muppets, Mariah, Alice in Wonderland, Minnie Mouse). So much potential and yet OPI continues to make narrow choices with boring colors and too many glitters. Landing this worldwide famous brand with generations of fans, and they yellow, black and two black-based gilitters? Good Grief!
Please, please OPI, dig a little deeper and start producing more exciting collections. I miss those days.
What about Linus’s blue blanket instead of a glitter? Snoopy’s red doghouse? Sally’s pink dress? Schroeder’s brown piano? Great pumpkin orange? A clever light brown matte with flecks called Pig Pen? Gone are the days when the first thing I look for in my InStyle is the OPI ad.
You were disappointed with Alice and the holiday Muppets?? I loved them both. I mean, Absolutely Alice and Mad As A Hatter are stars.
Though I do agree that the Peanuts collection is not what it could be, it’s also a Halloween collection. They always make Halloween small. I’m hoping that by making this deal, there is a larger, more character driven collection in the future. I also know that the Schultz family is very protective of the brand so who knows how much room OPI was given to play.
awesome comments! agree totally, especially about the blue blanket. well said.
Ok, I want all of these. I know I will be picking up the Minis at least.
For sure! I want those nail stickers
This is so exciting!!! My boyfriend actually thought this was interesting, ha.
*crosses fingers Good Grief is a non-streaky yellow*
Indeed! I hope it’s as great as I Just Can’t Copeacabana and not a dupe.
Not really feeling this collection. I don’t see anything special. But, I may change my mind once I see swatches.
That’s fair. I just really like it because it’s Peanuts and the glitters are fun. I would love to see a separate Peanuts collection with colors based on all the characters.
This collection is so cute! I might have to get the mini pack.
I love Halloween. My birthday is only a few days before it. Plus, it’s kind of the beginning of the “holiday season” if you think about it!
I wish I loved the holiday. I think part of it was all the scary movies my mom liked to watch. She finds it funny, I can’t watch.
This is awesome!!! I can’t wait. Though I do agree, it would’ve been cool to see some more colors! No Great Pumpkin references? Boo!
i still need to get the yellow copacabana so i probaby wont get the set. LoVE the glitters! so i will probably get those!
I definitely want Where’s My Blanket. I can’t wait to see swatches!
I can’t wait for the swatches! I want to get Where’s My Blanket for sure..Glitter is so fun!!
Really hoping Good Grief! Can be added to your list of perfect yellows! I was hoping for a “Lucy with a Blue Dress On”!
I hope it can too. We can never have enough quality yellows.
This was my first thought, too. I’m most excited to see how that yellow looks!
Yay! I love the mini pack. “And if you’re also an Arrested Development fan, you fangirled out when George Michael took his sullen, “Charlie Brown” head-down walks.”<—totally me!
That show had so many great pop culture references but that was definitely one of my faves.
Fun collection for Halloween and I really love Peanuts too! I’d love to see Peanuts collections for winter, spring and summer too
I will totally get the mini set. I adore Peanuts.
I love Halloween, but I despise dressing up. I think getting this mani will cure that problem
Especially because it’s got the decals. I fudge my costume with this unique mani!
Eh, it’s a cute display but none of the colors seem to be that unique. I’m more interested in the decals. I hope they get sold separately.
I doubt the decals will be sold on their own. They usually include that info in the press release, if that’s the case, and I haven’t read anything about that.
Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday! I’m not crazy about “Peanuts” but I would probably buy the mini pack. I’m very curious to see how “To Be Or Not To Beagle” looks over “WHO ARE YOU CALLING BOSSY?!?” I hope you can swatch that look! P.S. Great comment from SusyS!
Is this collection sold out already? I know this launched in September but I am not able to find it anywhere on Ulta.com and this makes me sad!
