Yesssss, songbird Mariah Carey teamed up with OPI! Will it be a high note in her career? We’ll find out soon enough!

The Mariah Carey by OPI Collection contains 8 limited-edition shades with a unique texture they’re coining ‘Liquid Sands’. (Read all about it in the press release!)

There are 2 subgroups in this collection: the Studio Shades and the Stage Shades.

I’m a fan of Mariah Carey because, damn, that woman can blow!

Mainly, though, I’m a fan of her earlier work (i.e. her self-titled album, Emotions, Music Box, and Daydream), although I do like a lot of her newer songs. (Back in the day, I feel like her voice was clearer, and she did less ‘whisper-singing’.)

To date, I have all of her albums (except for Glitter or Greatest Hits), and as long as she keeps putting out new songs, I will keep buying her CDs. She’s so talented, and although there are other great voices in the industry, she has an undeniably unique gift.

Out of all the colours in this collection, I’m most drawn to the Stage Shades. 😉 Stay the Night and Get Your Number are making me drool from just the bottle images!

Once again, OPI’s PR has something en route to me, and it’ll be a surprise. I wonder which one(s) they sent! 🙂 Of course I’ll wear them and share my thoughts with you all!

P.S. This is unrelated, but…I wish that Lana Del Rey would team up with OPI and have a nail-polish collection. That would be incredible!

Yesterday, OPI’s PR team sent me the OPI Euro Centrale Collection press release and promo pictures. From the moment I saw the bottle images, I got really excited because it looks like there’s a good assortment of colours!

Although this is the Spring/Summer 2013 collection, some of the polish names sound like they belong in a Hallowe’en collection – e.g. Vant to Bite My Neck? and My Vampire is Buff. But that’s okay by me because Hallowe’en is my favourite holiday.

Some of these colours are on their way to me, courtesy of OPI’s PR. I don’t know which shades, but you can be sure to expect upcoming reviews. Haha, probably within just hours of me opening the package, I’ll be painting my nails with one. 😉 Brand new polish is way too tempting!

From just looking at these bottle images, the ones I’m most curious about are Polka.com, You’re Such a BudaPest, Can’t Find My Czechbook, OY–Another Polish Joke!, and A Woman’s Prague-ative. But the other colours also look appealing. (A lot of times you can never tell just how gorgeous it’ll be until you see the bottle in person. I’m expecting to see some amazing shades, though, because even the bottle images look good!)

It’s quite comical how often I misread things. My brain must be wired in a weird way to make fun of everything.

There was an advertisement that said something like “IT’S A PARTY!”, and I initially read it as “IT’S A PANTY!” Haha, yeah, completely different meaning!

I had a similar brain fart when reading the OPI Magnetic Holiday Lacquers press release.

One of the magnetic nail polishes is called “Is That Silva?”. Know what I read it as? “Is That Saliva?” Haha! And even now that I know it’s Silva, I keep reading Saliva first.

C’mon, Brain. Work with me! Just because I don’t eat many walnuts doesn’t mean you have to hold a grudge and make me look stupid…

And every single time I see the word Polish (note the capital P), I read it as polish instead. (Once, I got terribly excited when I read a flyer on a bus shelter that began with “Polish”…but then kept reading and it was for Polish-language lessons…I’ve got 99 problems, but a lacquer ain’t one. Hehe! :P)

(I may not even be joking about being wired differently because one of my ex-boyfriends, who is a licensed massage therapist, found out something strange about me. Applying pressure to a certain part of the back creates tension or discomfort in the vast majority of people. But that spot on my back made me giggle because it was very ticklish! He had never come across anyone like that before in his career and concluded that I was ‘wired differently’.)

In other news…come see the press release and get a closer look at the new magnetic polishes from OPI!

P.S. This is the 2nd blog post for today. Check out the other one for a press release on cute mini nail polishes, again from OPI!
