Today’s post is going up tonight instead of the morning as usual because guess what? Last night, the power unexpectedly went out!

I even woke up extra early today, in the hopes that the power would come back on and then I could post something for my awesome readers. Sadly, the electricity was still out, which made getting ready for work quite interesting.

Thankfully, I have lots of scented candles that I’m now proud I hoard. Haha!

It was cool to get ready by candlelight. A little romantic, even! 😉

As you can tell from this post, now, I’ve got the power! (Hehe, that was meant to be sung to the tune of the song by Snap!) Hopefully it doesn’t go out again – fingers, toes, and eyes crossed!

So, here’s a press release about two new OPI Designer Series nail polishes that feature a Polished Quartz finish: OPI DS Titanium and OPI DS Tourmaline!

They launch on September 3rd, which isn’t that far away. Crazy how fast time flies!

The Polished Quartz finish is new, and it’s semi-matte while still have lots of sparkle. OPI’s PR was sweet enough to send me both to try, so please let me know which one you’d like me to wear and review first. 🙂

P.S. Remember, you still have until August 15 at 11:59 pm EDT to enter my worldwide giveaway for your chance to win 1 of 4 autographed bottles of Pretty Serious Swatch And Learn, the nail polish I designed! (Yup, there will be FOUR WINNERS!)

Below is the official press release sent to me by PR:

OPI Launches Two Designer Series Nail Lacquers with
NEW Polished Quartz Formula

This fall, OPI introduces a new Polished Quartz formula with two new semiprecious stone-inspired hues – DS Tourmaline and DS Titanium – to the Designer Series by OPI collection. Each Designer Series Polished Quartz nail lacquer features a semi-matte finish with intense three-dimensional sparkle.

Designer Series by OPI offers a high-shine Top Coat and an assortment of 11 glistening shades, including the two new stunning additions: shimmery rose DS Tourmaline and glittery dark silver DS Titanium. DS Tourmaline and DS Titanium can be worn alone for a semi-matte look, or with DS Top Coat to give nails a high-shine finish.

Inspired by polished quartz, DS Tourmaline and DS Titanium instantly add glamour, thanks to the highly-pigmented formula and intense diamond-dust sparkle.”

Designer Series by OPI nail lacquer shades each feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application. DS Polished Quartz lacquers should be worn without Top Coat for a semi-matte finish.
