Get bright for spring and summer: OPI Hong Kong Collection review

So OPI brings out a bumper collection of 12 shades for Spring/Summer.  Inspired by the cosmopolitian city of Hong Kong, they give us a lot of bold, bright cremes and sparkly, blinged-out shimmers.

I really liked this collection, there is a colour for everyone, cool toned, warmed toned and neutrals.

I only got two of the colours, so far, from Transdesign.com.  I could have definately gone for a lot more.  But….baby steps!! And transdesign had a great turnaround and great prices!! Note to my Trinis:  Transdesign ships internationally, so check out their low prices!

Jade is the New Black, OPI

Jade is the New Black is the colour of the summer.  Everyone has been talking about this one (as a matter fact, OPI has done a good job in hyping their recent collections).  This colour is a continuation of last year’s hot green colour, but instead of the minty, pastely greens, this one is a bold, deep but bright, leafy green.  I love green and this one definately does not disappoint.  I think its more wearable than its paler cousins and would look good on all types of skin colours.  In my opinion, this one is more sophisticated, would look great as a pop of colour with summer whites and beiges.

Hot & Spicy, OPI

The other colour is Hot & Spicy.  This is a beautiful pedicure colour!  Coral-orange creme, midtone colour.  Like a cantaloupe.  Very fresh, very beachy!!! This would look amazing with a tan, bronzey or dark skin.  Another hit for OPI.  This is photographing more orange than it really is.  It’s definitely a dark cantaloupe colour.

I think I’ll next get Bling Dynasty, Meet Me On the Star Ferry and maybe Dim Sum Plum.

Check out this collection at OPI.  Temptalia has some great swatches!

What are you going to get????

Alice in Wonderland OPI swatch & NOTD

Mad As A Hatter - Alice In Wonderland

Here is one of the most coveted nail colours of the year:  A sparkly blackened grey polish as the base with medium-sized, multi coloured glitter.  What I really love about this polish is that the glitter is not chunky so it’s festive and adult at the same time.  Works well alone with 2-3 coats for full coverage but also looks amazing over black, grey and even white polish.   It probably contains every colour of glitter – red, orange, teal, purple, silver – so you have lots of layering options.

This polish is sold out in most places, but you could still probably find it on eBay and a few other beauty sites.

Alice in Wonderland – A classic comes to life!!!

I have been anxiously awaiting the new movie from Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland!! It stars the absolutely fabulous and talented Johnny Depp.  I honestly think that he is underrated – and hot as hell!!!!!

OPI has collaborated with Disney to bring out a special edition collection, 2 glitters, 1 shimmer and 1 creme.  All Lacquered Up has great swatches (she seriously consistently has the best swatches on the web, and I’m jealous of her nails!)  I have my eye on the confetti-inspired, Mad As A Hatter.  This collection is available from January 2010.

Urban Decay also brought out a very limited edition of their every popular Book of Shadows.  It was available yesterday online only, but is due to be rereleased at Sephora at a later date.  When I find that out, I’ll let you know…
