Just had to post this quickly even if I’m still busy going around the world. This has to be one of the most exciting collaborations as of yet.
Eva Chen, Teen Vogue’s beauty editor, just posted on Twitter that OPI is coming out with a Glee inspired collection in February of next year! Yay!
I will make sure to update this post as soon as I have more info. Meanwhile, can we start thinking of the shade names that OPI will come up with as well as the color inspirations? I just can’t wait and listed down some theories. Feel free to chime in!
For sure there’s going to be something inspired by Sue Sylvester (her track suit perhaps?)
Any other fellow Chanel nail polish lovers out there?
Although I’m not a huge fan of the core Chanel nail colors (which have way cheaper alternatives out there in my humble opinion), I die at the mere sight of their limited edition nail lacquers. Sucks, because I’m usually in some remote place when the limited stuff releases.
The Internet was abuzz when close up photos from Chanel’s 2011 Resort Collection runway show was released with a closeup of a baby blue nail lacquer. Everyone waited with abated breath wondering if Creative Director Peter Philips would indeed release this trendy yet delicate shade. And now we know they’re going to release it – and we now know its name! I present to you, Chanel Riva:
There’s not too many baby blues out there and this may just end my search for the perfect baby blue polish. I wonder if it would have discrete shimmer like Chanel Jade? The promo pic seems to suggest that:
And another bit of exciting news on the Chanel front: Eva Chen, the beauty editor of Teen Vogue, tweeted a preview of what’s to come for Chanel in May 2011. I assume this is their Summer collection. Look at that canary yellow!!! Finally, looks like yellow polish is headed for the mainstream. I only know very few people who like yellow polish as much as I do.
I will make sure to update this post as I get more info.
And because I love the concept of Chanel’s Resort collection, I am sharing a few more photos from the collection. I love breezy, beachy clothes – I wish I could wear them all year long!
Don’t forget about my Asian polish giveaway! I’m extending it until November 15, to allow more people to enter (and more time for me to go through entries).
This may be the most brilliant collaboration yet! OPI has teamed up with one of my nail idols – Katy Perry!!! The 5-piece collection will be released sometime January 2011 and it includes Black Shatter, which I’m guessing is OPI’s answer to crackle polish (which, btw, is not a new concept). Here are some bottle pics and descriptions:
L-R: Last Friday Night, Not Like The Movies, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Black Shatter
Named after some of Katy’s songs (I would have loved to see a polish named I Kissed A Girl!):
Last Friday Night - a fierce glittery blue
Not Like the Movies – a sultry silver
The One That Got Away - an amazing deep berry
Teenage Dream – a dreamy pink glitter
Black Shatter – crackle top coat
Here are some photos of how these would look like used together:
I honestly don’t think this collection offers anything new, but for a collector like me, all of these are most probably must haves!
To keep the fans excited, OPI has also released a preview of how the colors in this collection (as well as their first collaboration with Serena Williams) in this video. Exciting!
Way to go OPI! I hope this paves the way for cooler collaborations in the future! And because I love Katy Perry’s nails so much, wanted to post a couple of her past nail photos that I found real cool.
Her most recent ground breaking nail look, the glove tip lace nails:
Her uber cool homage to her fiance, Russell Brand (by having his photo placed on her nails! Super cool!).
Her uber cute floral Minx nails (that got me really interested in trying Minx out myself):
And a couple of bling bling for good measure (personally my fave of all of Katy’s nail looks so far):
And finally, her screaming neon yellow nails which I would totally do (minus the crystals and blue hair).
If you like seeing what’s up with Katy (and her nails), be sure to follow her on Twitter!
