 OPI Launches the San Francisco Collection

For Fall/Winter 2013

San Francisco by OPI brings street chic style with West Coast flair to nails and toes for Fall/Winter 2013. This new collection features a palette ranging from sky and sea-colored hues of blues and gray to reds, burgundies and browns inspired by some of the city’s most iconic elements – Chinatown, the Golden Gate bridge and the Embarcadero. This fall mélange is mixed with texture, seen in three new Liquid Sand™ nail lacquers in earthy hues of taupe, blue and gray: It’s All San Andreas’s Fault, Wharf! Wharf! Wharf! and Alcatraz…Rocks. Liquid Sand lacquers dry to a textured, matte finish, infused with reflective sparkle.

“To me, the women of San Francisco and the city itself really epitomize today’s multifaceted beauty consumer,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “San Francisco offers a European flair with distinct West Coast attributes. These elements inspired a collection of urban chic nail lacquer shades, thanks to the sophisticated combination of high fashion and eclectic street style.

“With twelve colors ranging from moody grays and blues to garnet and ruby jewel tones, these lacquers are designed to accessorize fall’s hottest looks, from military details to winter whites,” continues Weiss-Fischmann. “On fall runways, models were seen wearing luxurious textures from head to toe. The three new Liquid Sand nail lacquers incorporate the texture trend through nails, with rich matte finishes in colors to complement the season’s fashion.”

San Francisco by OPI includes the following shades:

Nicole by OPI Announces NEW Limited Edition Gumdrops Nail Lacquers (Swatches!)

Keep your eyes peeled beginning this May and throughout the summer for the release of Nicole by OPI’s new limited edition Gumdrops Nail Lacquers. The collection includes six bright candy-colored “matte texture” shades. You can sport the lacquer without a topcoat for a frosted sugar-like finish, or with a topcoat for a more sparkly sugar-coated appearance.

Pictured here are the Gumdrops lacquers in Candy is Dandy (an adorable girly pink) and I Lilac Gumdrops (a gorgeous lavender). I love both shades, but I’m really drawn to I Lilac Gumdrops. (In fact, it’s in the running to be my vacay polish choice.)
