OPI Muppets Most Wanted Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

OPI Muppets Most Wanted CollectionHappy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

Will you be my nail Valentine today? 😉 (Psst, just a little heads up. I’ll be having a huge nail-polish giveaway for Canadians really soon, and you won’t want to miss it. Stay tuned for details!)

Now onto the star of today’s blog post – the OPI Muppets Most Wanted Collection, which officially hits stores this March!

I’m really excited to wear all of these colours, but especially Kermit Me to Speak because it looks like a duochrome from the promo picture. Also, I can’t wait to wear Miss Piggy’s Big Number. And since I’m curious about wearing more nudes, Chillin’ Like a Villain piques my interest.

Which ones are you most excited about?

Little Swatch And Learn Tidbit: The OPI Muppets Most Wanted Collection really tugs on my heartstrings because it reminded me that the very first press release I ever posted on the blog was for the OPI The Muppets Holiday Collection back in August 2011! It was the first time that I got the chance to collaborate with OPI’s amazing PR team. Whoa, I can hardly believe it’s been so long already! (And I still remember wearing and reviewing OPI Rainbow Connection very clearly!)

OPI Sheer Tints Press Release & Promo Pictures

OPI Sheer TintsYesterday, I blogged about the cool new OPI Glitter Off Base Coat that allows you to easily and quickly peel off even the most stubborn glitter from your nails.

Today, I have another cool press release to share. It’s all about the OPI Sheer Tints available in March.

As usual, OPI is a trailblazer because I haven’t seen anything like this in the mainstream, and I’m very excited to see what artistic looks people can come up with.

OPI Sheer Tints are pigmented top coats that you can use to layer over any nail polish or build up to achieve unique effects! I’m very curious about these, and you could probably create really neat stained-glass designs plus ombres!

OPI Glitter Off Base Coat Press Release

OPI Glitter Off Base CoatA couple of years ago, you may remember the trend among nailphiles that, to make it easier to remove glitter nail polish in a cinch, many were using PVA glue as a base coat. This meant that you could literally just peel it off, along with any stubborn glitter and forego the scrubbing-your-fingers-raw process.

Well, yesterday when I was on my way home from work, I received a bunch of cool press releases, which I’ll share with you all really soon!

The first one I’d love to tell you about is the OPI Glitter Off Base Coat, which is set to hit stores officially in March.

It promises to leave natural nails free of stains and also to make it easy to remove nail polish in just seconds without the need for a typical polish remover. You just peel the base coat and any polish on top off!

I’m really curious to try this one out, since you know that I have worn my fair share of glitter polishes. If I can avoid spending a long time to remove it, I’m all for it!

Edit: I updated this post to include step-by-step photos of how to use the OPI Glitter Off Base Coat!

OPI I’m Brazil Nuts Over You Swatches & Review

OPI I'm Brazil Nuts Over You Swatches & ReviewYou already know that I’m nuts about nail polish. And now it’s nice to see a nail polish that’s nuts about me! 😉

It’s OPI I’m Brazil Nuts Over You, which is from the OPI Brazil Collection (Beach Sandies mini pack)!

OPI I’m Brazil Nuts Over You is a summer-worthy texture nail polish.

I was in a crummy mood, and it totally brightened my spirits. This is a fantastic colour that’s exactly in my comfort zone because it’s loud. 😉

P.S. I wore a yellow nail polish before this one, haha, and you can see it wanted to linger around my cuticles!

OPI AmazON…AmazOFF Swatches & Review

OPI AmazON...AmazOFF Swatches & ReviewGuess what? Today is the very first day that the OPI Brazil Collection is officially released!

I knew that today, I was going to have to showcase my favourite shade from the entire collection. It was the one that first caught my eye when I saw all the pretty shades before me. It’s OPI AmazON…AmazOFF! (And it’s AmazING! Hahaha!) 😉

Judging from the reaction it got from my sneak peek on Instagram and Facebook, I could tell that I wasn’t alone in liking this shade so much.

Check out this post for my in-depth review and lots of swatches! Plus I answer your question about if it stains!

OPI Scores a Goal! Swatches & Review

OPI Scores a Goal Swatches & ReviewOPI Scores a Goal! may look like it’s from an autumn collection, but it’s actually from the OPI Brazil Collection for Spring/Summer 2014 that’s set to officially hit stores tomorrow. Are you excited?

Since PR was generous to provide me with the entire collection, stay tuned as I continue to review each one in-depth. (Or, if you just want a peek at all the colours, check out my Quick Look post on the OPI Brazil Collection!)

OPI Scores a Goal! is a shade that I didn’t think I would love as much as I do when I just saw the bottle.

On the nails, this murky mauve with a hint of purple looks very chic, and the creme finish is really shiny! In certain lighting, it can appear brown.

P.S. My cuticles are stained a little from a polish I had removed prior to wear this polish. It didn’t bother me since in person (i.e. not blown up like on the blog), I couldn’t really notice it. Plus having absolutely perfect nails is never one of my goals. Happiness is! 🙂

OPI You’re So Flippy Floppy Swatches & Review

OPI You're So Flippy Floppy Swatches & ReviewIf you’re gonna do a yellow nail polish that’s loud and proud, you may as well throw in a textured finish into the mix, right?

Well, maybe it’s just me, but when a nail polish roars so loudly, I can’t bear to stifle it. I say, “Louder! LOUDER!” 😉

Here’s OPI You’re So Flippy Floppy, which is one of the OPI Beach Sandies mini set (part of the OPI Brazil Collection).

Like all the minis in this set, it only comes in the adorable 3.75 mL bottle, so if you like the shade, quickly grab the set before it’s too late.
