OPI Live. Love. Carnaval from the OPI Brazil Collection officially coming out on February 5 is yet another winner!
OPI sure does know how to create the best creme nail polishes, don’t they? They’re creamy and go on so smoothly.
OPI Live. Love. Carnaval is a great coral that isn’t too bright or too dark.
I like this colour because it’s very spring-like, and it really hits the mark to help us get away from the winter blahs.
Remember when I reviewed OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? a couple of days ago? I got on board the orange train, Choo-choooooo! My love for these kind of shades is still going strong.
Today, I bring you another orange nail-polish review. This time, it’s on OPI Toucan Do It If You Try from the Brazil Collection that’s scheduled to officially hit stores on February 5.
It has hints of tangerine, but it still has that softer look to it that really makes me think of warm weather, the sun beating down, and shedding the winter jacket.
Oh, I can’t wait for spring to come. (I’ve had enough of you, Old Man Winter. No offence!)
Nicole by OPI Teal Me Something New is one of the shades added to the general collection for 2014.
It’s a gorgeous polish, but boy was it ever challenging for me to photograph!
While Teal Me Something New appears like it’s a very bright aqua, it’s actually more of a medium true teal, so please don’t get confused by the colour inaccuracy of my photos.
Even though the colour is off, at least you can see how smooth the formula is.
Remember when I first showed you the OPI Brazil Collection press release? There were lots of great colours available.
Then when I saw them in person and shared with you my Quick Look post on the entire OPI Brazil Collection, I knew that there were so many colours that were real winners!
I feasted my eyes on so many incredible shades, and although I love green nail polish, I couldn’t help but drool over the oranges (especially because I don’t have too many of those in my stash).
The first one I was itching to wear first was OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-Go? because it was the lightest orange in the bunch – really cute!
Nicole by OPI I Shop Mintage is a new addition to the general 2014 collection.
From the minute I caught a glimpse, I knew that I’d have to wear it mattified with the new Nicole by OPI Matte Top Coat. (You’ll probably remember when I first shared a photo of it on my Instagram.)
Although I’m a fan of shiny polishes, I feel like this one looks especially neat and almost like mint candy when it’s mattified!
I wore this shade for several days because that’s just how much I adored it. By the end, it was looking really ratty, though, and it got scratched up because I’ve been quite busy these days, packing boxes, tidying up, and getting ready to move to my new home soon! 🙂
Not long ago, I shared the OPI Brazil Collection press release and promo pictures on here.
Well, if you followed me on Instagram, on Monday night, you saw that I posted a few photos and video clips unveiling the actual bottles!
Today, I am so excited to share with you a Quick Look post on the OPI Brazil Collection for Spring/Summer 2014, which will hit stores in February!
This collection had me drooling from the press release, but now that I’ve seen them in person, I’m drooling even more. (Excuse me as I carefully wipe my keyboard dry.)
There are bright shades (like yellow, peach, and orange) that totally remind me of the warm weather. Boy am I ever sick of winter! (Haha, I know…what kind of Canadian am I? Cold weather and I don’t get along at all.)
Then there are some neutrals to create a nice contrast to the bright shades. And, of course, I’m very excited about the green because, well, I’m a green fiend. But, it’s also neat how that one’s in the collection since it really stands out, doesn’t it?
If you look closely at the oranges and then at the neutrals, you can see how it’d be possible to do an easy ombre effect. Very cool!
Since I was pressed for time, I decided that for today’s post, I would share with you something fun.
Just thought the other day that it’s been a while since I’ve posted a manicure on a man.
Since I was wearing my Neon Rainbow Dotticure, I decided to paint my male friend’s nails in a matching design. (Look, we’re twinsies! Haha!) 😉
So here is the Neon Rainbow Dotticure…on a MAN! Enjoy!
