If you’ve visited Swatch And Learn or followed me along social-media avenues in the last few days, you’re well aware of some pretty big news: I met Suzi Weiss-Fischmann (Co-Founder, Executive VP & Artistic Director of OPI) a 2nd time and attended an exclusive OPI product launch!
You’ll remember that back on October 14, 2012, I enjoyed an exclusive dinner with her. That was a major event in my blogging career, and I wrote a very long and detailed post about it.
I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime deal. But, Fate dealt me a Royal Flush in the game of polish poker. 😉
On February 20 (which is actually around my birthday!), Langton Communications, one of the PR firms I’ve collaborated with since August 2011, e-mailed me an invitation to attend an exclusive OPI product launch of the Fall/Winter 2013 collection! (A big thank you goes out to the entire Langton Communications team. Their professionalism and ability to get things done with flair never ceases to impress me.)
When I read the message on my iPhone, my heart was racing like Usain Bolt.
It’s every nailphile’s dream to meet the creative visionary behind the leading nail-polish company. But to have the opportunity to do it twice? “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!” 😉
There probably was a cloud of smoke rising as I RSVPed. Pig Pen from Charlie Brown would’ve been impressed, even if it wasn’t a cloud of dirt.
Eventually, my heartbeat went back to its usually rhythm (Kes the Band “My Love”, if you must know the exact beat…hehe!).
From now on, I’ll always remember Monday March 18 as the day I got to meet Suzi Weiss-Fischmann a 2nd time!
This time, it was held at the Aria Ristorante in the heart of downtown Toronto. What a classy venue!
In this post, I’ll go into the details about the whole experience. There’s so much I must tell you, and I hope that we can share the excitement together as nailphiles!
Also, I’m sneaking in a surprise giveaway for my blog readers. I hope you like it! 😉
Edit: CONGRATULATIONS, Floria! You won my surprise giveaway for an autographed bottle of OPI The Man With The Golden Gun! Please reply to my e-mail within 48 hours to claim your prize. Thanks to everyone for participating!
A manicure that looks wet and shiny is true love to me, but sometimes it’s fun to play with a matte look.
Ever felt like you were in a fairy tale and needed to pinch yourself to make sure that something was really happening and that it wasn’t just a wonderful dream?
With the OPI Bond Girls Collection due out at the beginning of May, you can channel your inner Bond Girl…even if you’re wearing sweatpants and fuzzy rabbit slippers while noisily munching on buttered popcorn. (I can’t confirm or deny that I’m describing myself at this very moment.) 😉
As you know, I love all music genres. I think my most recent posts about music were on 
As spring inches closer, I’m sure I’ll be reaching more for yellow nail polishes. They never fail to boost my spirits because they’re so sunny!
