After so many spring and cutesy polishes, it’s time for something to take you to the dark side! (Hey, maybe you’re going to sport some anti-Valentine’s-Day nails, right?)

OPI Never Have Too Mani Friends from the Hello Kitty Collection takes a manicure into the Witching Hour with a glossy jet black that practically cackles with delight!

At first glance, OPI Never Have Too Mani Friends may seem like the black sheep (hehe or black cat, in this case), but it certainly belongs in the Hello Kitty Collection.

If you’re creating Hello Kitty nail art, the black will come in handy for outlining and adding details. Black nail polish is a staple for any nail art.

Instead of nudes and soft shades, sometimes, I like to use black nail polish as a palate cleanser. And it doesn’t have to be during Hallowe’en or the colder months. (I’ve been known to sport black even in the dead of summer because a great dark manicure excites me as much as a bright one.)

OPI Kitty White from the Hello Kitty Collection is a pearly white that sparkles in a similar way that snow does when the sunshine kisses it gently.

It’s ‘purrfect’ for a icy kittycure!

While it’s pretty, I couldn’t picture myself wearing it as a full manicure solo. That’s why I chose to layer it over Super Cute in Pink, which is from the same collection.

The result was a soft-yet-glam pink that seems very appropriate for Valentine’s Day.

Edit: In case you want to see what OPI Kitty White looks like solo, I’ve included a quick swatch of it without the layering later in this post.

OPI Spoken from the Heart hails from the Hello Kitty Collection, and it looks like the vibrant candy that you might see in a gumball machine at Ye Olde Soda Shoppe.

Pulling at my nail’s heartstrings like an expert harp player, OPI Spoken from the Heart is a pink that leans coral! But don’t worry; you won’t have to dive deep into a tropical ocean to experience the beauty of this pretty coral!

It’s even more gorgeous in person, and the way it pops is nothing short of love, sweet love!

Creamy like a strawberry-milkshake, OPI Small + Cute = ♥ from the Hello Kitty Collection sure is sweet! Do the math: this pink reminds us that, sometimes, good things come in small packages!

Seal your manicure with a kiss that says, “Be my Valentine!” Slick on this ultra-adorable pastel that would make even Strawberry Shortcake’s Custard the Cat put down the catnip and beg for a ‘kittycure.’ 😉

Light and sweet, this baby pink is slightly reminiscent of cotton candy that you remember from your childhood summer nights when the fair’s midway came alive with rainbow lights.
