OPI Holland Collection Spring/Summer 2012 Press Release & Promo Pictures

34 Replies

OPI Holland Collection Press Release Spring Summer 2012You may have already heard about the OPI Holland Collection for Spring/Summer 2012, but just in case you haven’t, here you go!

The ones that caught my eye initially were Thanks a WindMillion, I Have a Herring Problem, and I Don’t Give a Rotterdam!

Some of the names make me laugh. That’s partially why I love OPI – they have fun with the names and usually they come up with something really creative. It’s way more fun to own a colour with a quirky name than just something like “Blue”.

Which colours are you looking forward to in the OPI Holland Collection? If you could name your own polish, what would it be called?

China Glaze Electropop Collection Spring 2012 Press Release & Promo PicturesHave you heard about the China Glaze ElectroPop Collection that comes out in February?

Seeing the press release and promotional pictures of all the shades made me smile from ear to ear. (I’m the Cheshire Cat, after all, right?)

Since I received the pictures from PR yesterday, I’ve been really excited to show you!

I’m always craving bright colours any time of year, and these look really promising.

Plus…there’s a greeeeeen! Yeah, you saw my green obsession coming from a mile away. It was sprouting from my ears…like Jack and the beanstalk. (I really should clean my ears more or try for a bonsai tree instead.) Continue reading →

Nicole by OPI New Lacquers for 2012 Press Release & Promo PicsHappy Friday, everyone!

Guess what? Looks like Nicole by OPI has 4 new shades out to start off the New Year.

There weren’t any promotional photos featuring all 4 new shades, so I put something together myself to give you a quick glance at everything.

Two of them have piqued my interest.

Do any of these shades move you? What colours would you like to see Nicole by OPI come out with this year? Continue reading →

China Glaze Colours from the Capitol Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

28 Replies

Hey everyone!

Here’s a quick second post for today.

I received the official promotional pictures from PR for the China Glaze Colours from the Capitol Collection and wanted to share it with you. Maybe you’ve already seen it, but I’m posting this just in case you haven’t heard the news.

This is all the information that I have, but when I get more, I’ll either edit this post to include it, or I may publish a whole new post and just link to it here.

Note: I received more press release information and bottle pictures. Scroll down to the red “Press Release sent to me by PR” to see.

China Glaze Colours from the Capitol Press Release & Promo Pictures smaller

Promo information sent to me by PR:

“This collection of 12 new nail polish shades is inspired exclusively by one distinct setting in The Hunger Games – the Capitol of the nation of Panem.  Awash in lavish fashion, food, and entertainment, Capitol citizens enjoy extreme cosmetics and body modifications, bold wigs, and outlandish costumes.”

I haven’t read any of The Hunger Games books. *Gasp* Yeah, I know, right? 😛 So I can’t put any of these names into context. For those of you who know more about the books, what do you think of the names of these polishes?

From the above promotional picture, I have a feeling that I’m going to fall in love with Agro, Smoke and Ashes, Luxe and Lush, Harvest Moon, and Electrify!

What are your picks? Have you read The Hunger Games books? Who’s your favourite character and why?

Nicole by OPI Holiday Glitters Collection 2011Just found out recently that there’s a new Nicole by OPI Holiday Glitters Collection coming out in November.

It consists of 4 glitter polishes: purple, blue, red, and gold. And they are limited-edition colours.

I didn’t receive a display picture for this collection, so I just quickly whipped one up myself to dress up this post’s intro.

If you’re interested in reading the official press release and the description of each colour, as well as seeing the bottle pictures, I’ve included them, too.

Are there any that are calling your name?  Continue reading →

Press Release & Promo Pics: Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection

Swatch And Learn Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesOne of my guilty pleasures is watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I haven’t seen every single episode, but when I catch it on TV, I usually watch it. And, for some reason, I’m often painting my nails when it’s on. Shocking, I know. 😛

So when I heard about the upcoming Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection, curiosity got the best of me.

Thankfully I am not a cat or I would’ve been killed, apparently. (I never thought the saying was fair. Why must the cat die just because it was curious? Poor thing!)

Since I don’t have a picture of the nail-polish display, I had some fun and put together that graphic really quickly. It shows 3 of the colours that I’m most excited to wear.

See the rest of this post for the official press release including the promo pictures for all 14 nail lacquers in this collection! At the end, I’ll also weigh in and tell you my first impressions. Continue reading →

OPI Hallowe’en 2011 Press Release & Pictures

OPI Halloween 2011 Duo Pair Em Scare EmWhile I’m saving my Hallowe’en nail-art tutorials for October, that doesn’t mean that I can stay tight-lipped about Hallowe’en stuff in general. You know that it’s one of my favourite holidays! 🙂

Since the first press release I posted on Swatch And Learn got a warm reception, I’ve decided to share the latest OPI Hallowe’en 2011 press release with you just in case you haven’t seen it yet.

This year there are two sets available: OPI Pair’em Scare’em and OPI Spookettes!

OPI Halloween 2011 Mini Spook-ettes

What am I looking forward to the most? The green glow-in-the-dark Zom-Body to Love, of course! (And what an awesome name!)

But I also think the mini bottles are really cute and collectible. I have a bunch of mini sets from previous collections. They’re good value and an excellent way to test out colours that you either don’t want to commit to or you just don’t need a full-size bottle of. But keep in mind that the brushes are also tiny. (This may be a plus if you have small nails!)

Keep reading to see larger photos of both of these sets. Continue reading →
