OPI This Gown Needs a Crown Swatches & Review

OPI This Gown Needs a Crown Swatches & ReviewOPI This Gown Needs a Crown is from the Miss Universe 2013 Collection, and it features a textured satin finish.

Unlike the OPI Liquid Sand finish, this satin finish is much smoother, although it’s not shiny. I can best describe it as feeling like sea glass (frosted glass).

This satin finish is supposed to be worn as-is, without a top coat, so that’s exactly how I wore it and it’s what you’re seeing in all the photos in this post.

I really love the subtle texture, and even if you aren’t a fan of the trendy gritty textures out there, you may want to try this one because it’s much, mucchhhh smoother.

You also get a cool sparkly crown ‘ring’. It’s a cute little accessory that you’ll find wrapped around the handle of the bottle.

Nail Art: Dotticure Using the 3 Nail Polishes in the OPI Miss Universe 2013 Collection

Dotticure OPI Miss Universe 2013 Collection Nails Nail ArtThere are 3 limited-edition shades from the OPI Miss Universe 2013 Collection, and when I took one glance at them, I knew I’d have to wear them together in some playful nail art.

Since I was strapped for time, I decided to whip out my trusty double-ended dotting tool to create this quick and simple look.

Using a dotting tool is as fun as popping bubble wrap, and since I hadn’t created a dotticure in a long time, it was fine time!

In this post, I’ll show you more photos of my Dotticure Using the OPI Miss Universe 2013 Collection.

What kind of nail looks would you create using the 3 shades (OPI This Gown Needs a Crown, OPI I’m Feeling Sashy, and OPI Miss You-niverse)?

OPI Miss Universe 2013 Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

OPI Miss Universe 2013 CollectionToday, I would like to share with you the 3 new shades in the OPI Miss Universe 2013 Collection.

I’m salivating over the purples! (Someone may need to mop the floor because it could make someone slip, slide, and do a pirouette right into the Helmer filled with nail polishes! Yes, apparently accidents can be very elaborate…and worthy of a judges’ score of 10!)

You get a special collectible ring with the matte platinum shade, and that polish features a new satin finish!

OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

OPI Mariah Carey Holiday CollectionOkay, so it’s just September, but I already have a holiday collection preview for you!

It’s the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection, which is scheduled to be released in October.

Holiday collections are some of my favourites because they always have a lot of great colour choices, and the names are so festive!

I’m a fan of classic Mariah. She has the voice to sing like a bird, and her love ballads bring out the mushball in me. 😉

I also like how she’s evolved over the years. Although her current songs are very different than the ones from her Emotions or Daydream albums, I still find myself enjoying a lot of her tunes.

I put together a fun little collage of the polishes. Do any of these catch your eye?

P.S. Please remember to vote for me in the nail-art competition by clicking “Like” on Facebook on my manicure photo here. I’d really appreciate your vote to take me to the top! And please let your friends know so that they can also vote!

OPI at NYFW Weekend Recap (Hervé Léger) Press Release & Photos

OPI Herve Leger New York Fashion Week NYFW 2014As promised, here is blog post 3 of 3 for today showing OPI at NYFW for Spring 2014.

This time, you’ll get a brief glimpse into OPI for the Hervé Léger show where OPI Barre My Soul was used on the nails.

I don’t have that nail polish, but it looks very soft and natural. I can see why they went with it, so as not to distract from the clothing.

The OPI PR team sent me an entire schedule of the shows that OPI would be making an appearance. There are several more, and when I receive more information, I’ll be sure to share it with you.

Hope you’re liking these fun little NYFW posts. I think it’s a nice change from my usual blog posts, although tomorrow, I’ll be back to reviewing a nail polish! 🙂

I’ve received a few press releases with photos regarding OPI during NYFW for Spring 2014, and, although it’s a little different than my reviews on Swatch And Learn, I’m going to show you because I think it’s really neat to see nail polish in action on the runway.
