OPI Bond-ettes & OPI Top Ten Mini Nail Polishes Press Release & Promo Pictures

8 Replies

OPI-The-Bond-ettes-OPI-The-Top-Ten-Mini-Nail-Polishes-Press-Release-Promo-PicturesMini nail polishes are so adorable, and they’re very economical. You can try out a bunch of colours without having to spend a lot. And if you wind up really liking a particular shade, you can go and get the full-sized version.

(I’ve done that with the OPI La Collection de France! Got the Cafe Cuties mini set, and then rushed out to get a big bottle of both Parlez-Vous OPI? and Louvre Me Louvre Me Not.)

I just love looking at mini bottles all lined up. So cute. And I can’t help but see them as little polish children. 😉 Awww! Don’t ever grow up. You’re just so darn adorable!

Here’s some news on the OPI front. In October, they’ll be coming out with 2 limited-edition mini nail-polish sets.

One has a James Bond theme (OPI Bond-ettes), and the other showcases their top 10 best-selling shades (OPI Top Ten). This is just in time for the upcoming gift-giving season.

Come see large promo pictures of each set, and check out the press release sent to me by OPI’s PR.

This will be the first post of two for today…Keep your eyes peeled later this morning for the next one. 🙂

Pretty Serious In the Night Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

4 Replies

Pretty Serious In the Night Collection Press Release Promo PicturesThe internet is saturated with tons of great beauty blogs, but the one I turn to a lot when I’m in the mood to drool over a hard-to-find polish is Pretty Random.

Even if I may never own some of those vintage polishes, it’s so much fun to see swatches of them and see the evolution of nail-polish history.

The blog is run by Karen (also known as Kaz), and a few days ago, she e-mailed me some amazing news. She came out with her collection of nail polishes! 

Especially for a nailphile, that must feel like winning the lottery! I’m so proud of her because I’m sure it was a lot of hard work. Seeing things go from vision to fruition is very rewarding.

Come check out the 6 colours she came up with for the Pretty Serious In the Night Collection, and read her press release!

6 New Shades in the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

12 Replies

6-New-Shades-in-the-Nicole-by-OPI-Kardashian-Kolors-Collection-Press-Release-Promo-PicturesLove ’em or hate ’em, the Kardashian clan keeps expanding their empire.

While I don’t admire the family, there’s something about them that makes me not change the channel if I happen to stumble upon their reality TV shows.

There are 6 new shades in the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolor Collection that, for Canadians, are exclusively available at Shoppers Drug Mart right now.

The yellow (Ladies in the Limelight) is the one that caught my attention first. Maybe that’s because it was the closest one to green in the bunch. 😉 (I can’t be helped with my green addiction…)

Have you hit up your Shoppers yet? Which one of these is your favourite and least favourite?

China Glaze New Bohemian Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

18 Replies

China Glaze New Bohemian Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesIf you’re really into polish, you probably have been eagerly anticipating the release of the China Glaze New Bohemian Collection for quite a while!

I received the press release and promotional picture for it on Friday and decided to share it with you in case there are those who haven’t caught wind of it.

If I get large individual bottle photos of each shade, I’ll be sure to edit this post and include them.

Edit: Right now, Rare & Radiant looks like it’ll be another Chanel Peridot dupe. Since I already have Peridot, I’m more anxious about the other 5 shades!

The display looks really fun. I like how they incorporated so many wild colours – it really captures the new bohemian look they’re going for. It’s gorgeous, and I think the theme is a wonderful concept because, yes, the new bohemian look is a far cry from the old definition of a bohemian.

The only thing is that the model probably should’ve tilted her head down a bit. It’s a little too nasally. See, this is what happens when you’re like me and watch too much America’s Next Top Model – you start critiquing photos as though you know something about fashion and photography! SNOB! 😉

12 Replies

Zoya NYFW 2012 CollectionHave you heard the news? Zoya will be coming out with a new collection – Zoya NYFW 2012 Collection!

Currently this is all the information I have. I don’t have any promotional pictures to share that show the colours in the collection, but if I get any, I’ll either update this post or include it in a new post.

Are there any colours that, based on their descriptions, sound the most appealing to you?

I’m interested in Noot (charcoal green gray) and Frida (sheer teal blue jelly gloss that’s buildable).

P.S. Stay tuned for a 2nd blog post later today. 😉 It’s nail-polish-related, too! 🙂

10 Replies

OPI DS Indulgence & OPI DS Luxurious Press Release & Promo PicturesThere are 2 new colours being added to the OPI Designer Series line this fall. Their names are OPI DS Indulgence and OPI DS Luxurious!

Haha, I created the graphic on the left to make it look like they’re doing handstands and having a wonderful time. I imagine that all the Designer Series polishes are really silly and like to have fun! 😉

Do you think you’ll be picking up either (or both) of these?

Indulgence caught my eye immediately, but because DS Luxurious is described as a coral-red, that has me interested, too.
