To my fellow Canadians, I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Happy Canada Day!

Also, later in this post, I share with you all the details of the latest nail-polish news. OPI is now sold at the Hudson’s Bay Queen Street Flagship store in Toronto!

In August, OPI nail polishes will be sold online via Hudson’s Bay, and later, the polishes will be rolling out to additional top Hudson’s Bay stores across Canada.

I picked a few red OPI nail polishes from my collection to create the photo above.

(In case you’re curious, I’ve listed the colours shown below along with links to the in-depth reviews I did over the years. By comparing the reviews, you can see how Swatch And Learn has evolved. I purchased Dear Santa. Vodka & Caviar and Pretty & Privileged were gifts from my ex-boyfriend, and the rest were generously provided by PR. The full details can be found in each post linked.)

Starting at the bottom, going clock-wise: Dear Santa, Vodka & Caviar, The Color of Minnie, Pretty & Privileged, Romantically Involved, Red Hot Rio, I STOP for Red & All I Want for Christmas Is OPI

Below is the official press release sent to me by PR:

OPI, THE WORLD’S #1 SALON NAIL LACQUER, LAUNCHES AT

HUDSON’S BAY, CANADA’S #1 LUXURY SHOPPING DESTINATION

Top nail lacquer brand OPI, until today found only at salons in Canada, is launching exclusively at the Hudson’s Bay Queen Street flagship store in Toronto. In the coming months, as the lacquers roll out into the Hudson’s Bay’s top 15 stores across the country, Canadian shoppers will experience OPI firsthand in a luxury department-store atmosphere. The full OPI assortment will also become available on the Hudson’s Bay newly revamped e-commerce platform this August.

All 120 sought-after, iconic OPI lacquer shades will be on offer—from bestsellers like I’m Not Really A Waitress to runway favorites like Malaga Wine—plus the recently-launched Infinite Shine Gel Effects Lacquer System and the must-have of Summer 2015, the Hawaii Collection.

The brand’s wildly popular nail care products, such as the Nail Envy Collection, will also be available.

OPI’s exceptional formulas—ultra-pigmented, long-lasting, chip-resistant—are fashion-industry and celebrity standards, famous for their iconic names and unparalleled quality. Every bottle of OPI lacquer comes with the brand’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush, designed to make perfect application and gleaming finish easy, whether at home or in-salon.

Are you excited that in addition to finding OPI nail polishes at Trade Secrets and Nail Polish Canada, there will be even more avenues to get hold of your favourite colours?
