My favourite name in nail care has to be OPI. They hook up with the wildest celebrities and do limited edition colours, but most of all I love the formaldehyde free yet perfect lacquer finish everytime. They are relentlessly trendsetting and bringing out the hottest colours every season.
New for Halloween, but also such bright and bold shade you'll could wear it all sumer long is the collection 'SO, SO SCULLICIOUS,' 4 mini nail colours in orange, yellow, pink and black. They come with cute decals for $39.90
There is no denying neon is big, the best way to wear this trend is to go all out on the toe nails, making your feet look nicely tanned. On your hands it's best to wear a neutral like beige or a soft grey and accent a few nails with neon. OPI have a limited edition release 'OUTRAGEOUS NEON.' This is a white base coat, a yellow, pink, orange, purple and a top coat, all in mini sizes for $44.95. You'll cure your need for neon and in the mini size you' ll have finished the bottle you're on to the next trend.
'SKYFALL' is a new 12 shade collection to celebrate 50 years of James Bond and all those Bond beauties who loved him so. Most shades are named after some of the most famous of the 007 flicks. I even feel a bit of a nod to the '60s and my favourites would be the gorgeous 'On her majesty's service' a beautiful pewter teal blue and 'Goldeneye' a super fabulous sparkly gold which I would wear like the neon on a few accent nails on the hands, but full noise on the toes. Full size $24.90 per shade.
Making there mark as an industry leader OPI have released a short film. See 4 dancers wearing a bold OPI shade go up against and get schooled by an amazing thoroughbred horse representing the iconic black OPI shade 'Lady in Black.' It's well worth a watch.
