What the GREEN!

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day and in my own way, I celebrated by playing in my GREEN PAINTS!! And I say that with aggression… The question is can you tell which one I use??

Personal favorite of my co-worker named JADE! LOL

When you line the bottles up, they look the same. Don’t Mess With OPI is from the Texas’s collections, you’ll need to apply three coats to get a bright because it’s a sorbet lacquer. The Jade is the New Black is from the Hong Kong Collection, and it’s a solid green that only needs two coats. In the spirits of St. Patty Day OPI  posted a picture of their suggested top green colors…

Gargantuan Green Grape, Green-wich Village, Don't Mess With Texas, Jade Is The New Black, & Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow

I hate to admit I am missing one of them in my collection, so I guess it’s time to go and run to Ulta for Gargantuan Green Grape…

I LOVE OPI

OPI Manicure

I blogged about the Yves St Laurent Manicure a little while ago on IAMSUPERGORGE which inspired me to do the OPI Manicure. I suggest 30-45 minutes for the best result, and it's really simple and easy.

Materials needed:

1. Two OPI Colors
2. Manicure Strips or Scotch Tape
3. Base & Top Coat
4. OPI Correct & Clean up pen(Optional)

Begin by using a base coat. Only use ONE coat because it will help remove your polish in the end. Desired colors:

San Tan-Tonio

Do You Think I'm Tex-y

Step 1

*Please excuse the ashy cuticles

Step 2

Apply your second color

Please be sure to allow enough time for your first coat to dry before applying the strips or tape

Step 3 

Apply Top Coat to finish the look

Remove the strip or tape soon as you finish one hand. Then follow up with ONE coat of top coat.

Cleaned my look using the OPI Correct & Clean up pen

You can use a Q-tip (dipped in polish remover) or a nail brush to clean your edges

Other colors used:

Tip: The Color to Watch

Base: Austin-Tatious Turquoise

Femme De Cirque

OPI has done it again... Excited to announce there is a new collection coming in April. The collection includes soft shades such as pink and pearl. The collection is called Femme De Cirque. This will keep up busy for the remaining Winter season, and prepared for the Spring.

The Pirates are coming... The Pirates are coming!

I just found some pictures of the new OPI Summer collection (via @MBeautyLounge).  Pirates of the Caribbean Brights 2011 Collection. The movie will be in theaters May 20th. This collection is filled with shimmery pastel colors. Keep in mind the pictures can be deceiving... So the colors may not mimic the actual color of the lacquer when you use it.

OPI decided to release Shatter in a different color, Silver. Sure to be another top seller. The collection itself should hit your local beauty stores before the release of the movie. If you look at the patterns of the other OPI collections that are based off of a movie, then you know it will be available for purchase prior to the movie release date. Keep an eye out sometime around April/May. Until then make sure you check out the Spring Collection, Texas Collection by OPI. Now available in your local beauty stores and approved online vendors.
