Add Some Bubbles to Your Summer with the OPI Coca-Cola Collection

June 5, 2014 by Kathryn 88 Comments

I’m not a big soda drinker, mainly because I’m not a fan of adding so much sugar to my diet, but I do love the fun and energy of the Coca-Cola Company. The brand is one that personifies happiness, positivity and joy, and now OPI has partnered with Coca-Cola to create a nail lacquer collection that embodies that spirit in a fabulous, calorie-free way!

The OPI Coca-Cola collection contains nine nail lacquers inspired by the most popular Coca-Cola beverages, from Sprite to Coke Zero to Fanta Grape. I received a set of the nail lacquers to review and I was so excited to see how OPI interpreted the colours of these iconic beverages. [Read more…]

New Sheer Tints by OPI Are a Fun Twist on the Traditional Top Coat

March 5, 2014 by Kathryn 4 Comments

I love OPI nail products because the company is always innovating, and new Sheer Tints by OPI are a perfect example of that. These fresh new top coats are a clear, tinted nail lacquer that is applied over coloured polish to create a rainbow of fun nail designs. I received the four new Sheer Tints by OPI shades to review recently and decided to test them out over the same solid polish to see how the tints would change my look.

I used the mint green Alex by the Books Nicole by OPI polish as my base polish. Then one it was dry, I applied I Can Teal You Like Me, a sheer teal blue, on one hand and Don’t Violet Me Down, a crystal sheer amethyst, on the other. The blue gave my nails a great oceanic look with blue and green both showing through, but I liked the purple even better. It blended with the light green colour to create a subtle ombre effect that was so pretty! [Read more…]

Keeping nails looking great is a whole lot easier with a great top coat, and this year Nicole by OPI has three fabulous new top coats and a special cuticle oil for 2014 to help you keep your nails looking their best! I recently received the four new products to try and I couldn’t wait to put them to the test.

The new line of top coats includes a Matte Top Coat, a Quick Dry Top Coat and a 3-1 Base, Top Coat & Strengthener. For creating a nail look that’s both subtle and dramatic, the Nicole by OPI Matte Top Coat is a must. I love painting my nails in a solid shade and then sectioning off random strips with tape before coating the nail with the Matte Top Coat. The resulting blend of shiny and matte on my nails is simple and always looks great.
