Collection Previews
Nicole by OPI Previews the Justin Bieber Collection
Okay so I totally scoffed at the fact that Nicole by OPI is collaborating with Justin Bieber. It’s a great marketing strategy and the fact that it supports a charity makes it a bit more tolerable but I am FAR from a tween so it just feels odd to be writing about. That being said, I must admit that after watching the preview video posted on the Nicole by OPI YouTube account, I am kind of curious about Me + Blue and One Less Lonely Glitter.
I get that if the color is good, the person attached to it shouldn’t matter but I’m so not the target demo. I feel like one of those middle aged women who swoon over Edward from Twilight, blech!
After seeing the colors modeled on a nail, what are your thoughts on the collection?
OPI Katy Perry Collection Preview
OPI also revealed info on their Katy Perry collaboration today. Can I just say that I’m so happy to see OPI finally embracing social media and not pretending a collection doesn’t exist until the day it launches in stores? In this collection, the colors range from a confectionery pink to a bold blue that seemed to be pulled straight from Katy’s California Gurls video.
From left to right: Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream and Black Shatter.
It’s obvious that the glitter party is nowhere near over in nail world. After all the Deborah Lippmann and China Glaze Holiday glitters plus the OPI Alice & Burlesque sparklers the train to Glitter Town won’t be reaching the end of the line anytime soon.
What are your thoughts on these? Are they what you would expect from a collection involving Katy Perry? Do you think that OPI including “Shatter” polishes in two collections means that we’re going to get inundated with crackle from the other major polish brands? Will you give into the cracked polish effect?
UPDATE: Thanks to the readers who pointed out that OPI posted a video on YouTube showing the colors and shatter effect
OPI Serena Williams Grand Slam Preview – Simply Smashing
OPI brings us a peek at the first duo from the Serena Williams Grand Slam collection. This set is the first of four and will release in January to coincide with the Australian Open. The duo includes the metallic green, Simply Smashing, paired with OPI’s first crackle polish, Black Shatter.
The green looks like a sister to NARS Mash so I’ll be curious to see how it compares. The “shatter” polish is not what comes to mind when I think of crackle polish. It’s much more sparse and chunky.
I wonder if this means that all of the Serena Grand Slam duos will include a different “Shatter” color. What do you think?

Essie Winter 2010 – A Winter’s Tale Collection Preview
Essie’s Winter collection, A Winter’s Tale, brings us yet another GREEN! You’d think I’d get sick of greens after a while but I really don’t. I still get excited when a new one comes out in hopes that it will be totally different from the plethora of greens in my Hoarders-worthy collection.
Chase winter’s chill with a shot of smoldering color and a hint of mystery. Whether it’s a glittering New Year’s Eve bash or a quiet tête-à-tête by the fire, this sexy palette of intriguing colors speak volumes without you ever uttering a word. As you make your entrance, let them be beguiled as they wonder, “Who is that Masquerade Belle?” Check out a preview of the colors including bottle shots and color descriptions after the jump! |
Chanel Spring 2011 Preview – Black Pearl
Thanks to the talented UK Manicurist Sophy Robson we have an up close and personal peek at what could be the next big Chanel nail color; Black Pearl.
This shot posted by French Vogue lets us in on the name of the polish but it’s Sophy’s TwitPic of one of the models that answers the bigger story. What is this color?
