OPI Rock Goddess Mini Lacquer Set Press Release & Promo Picture

OPI Rock Goddess Mini Nail Lacquer Set Halloween 2013Yeah, it may be only August, but I’ve got information about an upcoming Hallowe’en mini nail-polish set from OPI for you!

It’s called the OPI Rock Goddness Mini Lacquer Set, and it contains 4 adorable little bottles plus a woven bracelet with a skull charm.

You’ll see it on store shelves in September, which gives you plenty of time to plan your Hallowe’en manicures and pedicures!

Hallowe’en is my favourite holiday, so I’m always excited to see what OPI has in store.

I’m happy to see that they didn’t just stick with your typical Hallowe’en colours. They did something more interesting.

I even like the box it comes in – very artistic!

OPI Pink of Hearts 2013 Press Release & Promo Pictures

OPI Pink of Hearts 2013Breast cancer has affected the lives of millions. Chances are that you know someone who has or had breast cancer.

But what a lot of people don’t realize is that men, not just women, get breast cancer! It’s not as common, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important.

I read on Wikipedia that about 1% of breast cancer occurs in males. Also, “the relative risk of breast cancer for a female with an affected brother is approximately 30% higher than for a female with an affected sister.”

There are significant differences in breast cancer in females versus males. Since men tend to have a smaller breast size, the lesions are easier to find. However, the scary thing is that because there’s less awareness of breast cancer in men, they may hesitate to seek medical attention.

The whole reason why I’m mentioning breast cancer is because OPI is coming out with a new nail-polish set with a breast-cancer-awareness theme.

With the purchase of the OPI Pink of Hearts 2013 set available in September and October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), you’ll get 2 full-size, limited-edition nail polishes: OPI Pink-ing of You (pale pink) and OPI More than a Glimmer (a glitterbomb). The OPI Pink of Hearts 2013 set also comes with crystal and pink-ribbon nail decals.

OPI DS Lapis & OPI DS PewterIf you like blues and greys, keep your rabbit ears up because OPI has something new up their sleeves for the Designer Series line!

In September, OPI DS Raw Granite hits the stores with 2 textured nail polishes: OPI DS Lapis (sapphire) and OPI DS Pewter (silver).

I’m so happy that the textured nail trend is still going strong! (Huge fan here!) 🙂

Both look like colours that are very wearable. Hehe, then again, I would try any colour on my nails!

Between OPI DS Lapis and OPI DS Pewter, I’m most looking forward to OPI DS Lapis because I think it could look like a starry night sky – beautiful!
