Ever felt like you were in a fairy tale and needed to pinch yourself to make sure that something was really happening and that it wasn’t just a wonderful dream?

I’m currently in that state. But I can’t keep pinching myself or I’ll begin to resemble Swiss cheese. 😉

After attending an exclusive OPI product launch event with Suzi Weiss-Fischmann on Monday, I was surprised and ecstatic when PR gave me the entire 15-bottle set plus keepsakes to take home!

(More details to come in a future blog post dedicated solely to sharing my thoughts on the once-in-a-lifetime event.)

Yesterday, I shared with you swatches of the OPI Bond Girls Collection, which was one of the collections unveiled.

Today, I’m very excited to show you the OPI San Francisco Collection for Fall/Winter 2013 that will be available starting August 7th.

There’s a good variety of shades, and there are 3 new Liquid Sands! (Don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of the Liquid Sand finish. In particular, Alcatraz…Rocks is the one that is back-up worthy. Absolutely stunning!)

In this post, I’ll share with you swatches, close-up bottle shots, and the official press release. Just like with my OPI Bond Girls Collection post, this one is an overview. When I wear each shade as a full manicure, I’ll put together separate review posts that go into further depth, as usual.

With the OPI Bond Girls Collection due out at the beginning of May, you can channel your inner Bond Girl…even if you’re wearing sweatpants and fuzzy rabbit slippers while noisily munching on buttered popcorn. (I can’t confirm or deny that I’m describing myself at this very moment.) 😉

As you know, yesterday, I had an incredible opportunity to attend an exclusive product launch with Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of OPI! (I’ll be working on a detailed post to share my experience with all of you, so stay tuned! I also have something special planned for my readers. Hint hint! Edit: Click on the above link to the post. It’s live now!)

There were actually two collections revealed – the OPI Bond Girls Collection was one of them.

Get this – the collection introduces six brand new Liquid Sand shades! (I’m so excited about this because I’ve been a big fan of the Liquid Sand finish ever since I tried the Mariah Carey by OPI Collection ones!)

And, oh my goodness, in the swag bag they gave out at the end of the event, I received the entire collection! (Christmas clearly can come any time of year for a ‘big kid’ like me.) I’m so thankful to Suzi and the Langton Communications staff for their continued generosity and high level of professionalism!

In this post, I’ve included photos of the actual bottles in the OPI Bond Girls Collection, and I’ve typed up the press release they included in the swag bag.

Plus, since they conveniently included nail boards with swatches, I’ve photographed all those, too, so you can see each polish in action and so you’ll know how it’ll really look on your nails!

(When I wear each shade and eventually review them, expect the usual in-depth descriptions and information. But, for now, here’s a quick look at the exciting collection of new Liquid Sands! Think of this post like an overview.)
