Gwen Stefani by OPI Collection

NO DOUBT THE GWEN STEFANI by OPI RANGE WILL BE A SUCCESS!!!

Launching in January 2014, music and fashion icon Gwen Stefani joins OPI with the launch of 7 new limited edition lacquers featuring standout colours in breakthrough finishes.
The Gwen Stefani by OPI collection is designed for anyone who is interested in style, glamour and music.  OPI was looking at designing a collection that was dramatic and diverse, yet glamorous.  The brand was looking at celebrating the role of music as a major influence in fashion.  After a chance meeting at the 2013 Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala, that featured the theme “Punk: Chaos to Couture”, between OPI’s Artistic Director Suzi Weiss-Fischmann and Gwen Stefani, the pair realised they shared similar values, and hence the collaboration began.
Known for her trademark red lips, bold eye makeup and nail art, Stefani uses beauty to accessorise her style.  The Gwen Stefani by OPI collection presents the latest in pigments and finishes, whilst combining elements of haute couture and street fashion.  Highlights from the collection include a bold red lacquer that pays homage to Gwen Stefani’s signature lipstick; two new semi-matte satin finishes in gold and black, that should be worn without a top coat; two glossy crème shades; one glittery hue, and a mirror finish for those who are just as wild as the fashion icon.
Gwen Stefani by OPI 
includes the following seven limited edition nail lacquers:


Hey Baby
A glossy bright bubblegum crème pink


I Sing in Color 
A rich dark blackberry crème

Love.Angel.Music.Baby
Like her music label (L.A.M.B.) this semi-matte gold finish offers just the right amount of satin sheen


4 in the Morning 
A new semi-matte black satin finish


In True Stefani Fashion 
A holographic blast of silver glitter


Over & Over A-Gwen 
Gwen’s signature shade of red

Push and Shove
A bold mirrored chrome paired with a special base coat


Gwen’s signature red OPI hue – Over & Over A-Gwen – is available in a boxed set which includes Swarovski black crystals and silver, gold and pewter studs in bar, square, diamond and circle shapes for creating unique nail designs, and special nail glue for easy application, $24.95 RRP.
Gwen Stefani by OPI lacquers contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application.   
Available at selected salons and David Jones in January (if not before).  
The range will be available in Myer stores later in the season, $19.95 RRP incl. GST.

“I am thrilled and honoured to join the incredible women who represent L’Oréal Paris. From the versatile and motivational Brand Ambassadors, to all the women who proudly wear L’Oréal Paris each day.

REVIEW: Sally Hansen Spring Racing Collection Nail Polish


SPRING RACING COLLECTION

RRP $9.95. 
Available now exclusively at Priceline for a limited time.

WHAT ARE THEY: Seven Spring Racing inspired shades of premier polish. As the ultimate colour authority, Sally Hansen has always set the trends when it comes to nail shades. This season is no different – the latest Sally Hansen shades are perfect for spring and are designed to make a statement. From pretty pastels to chic neutrals these new limited edition shades of Complete Salon Manicure are sure to have you race-day-ready this Spring.

THE TECHNOLOGY: Formulated with three proprietary time-released, protecting shine enhancers, Complete Salon Manicure delivers lasting shine – the closest you can get to a gel effect without a gel manicure. Housed in breakthrough nano-tubes, the shine enhancers are released as your nails flex during daily wear and tear, helping to provide maximum chip-resistance.

THE BRUSH: This Precision Brush was developed exclusively by Sally Hansen. It is rounded to fit the curve of your cuticles and is perfectly shaped to hug the contours of your nails. With an 800-bristle count, shorter brush length, and precision product pick up, the brush promotes better application for better wear.

 I received 2 shades to test out - Barracuda:
I don't usually wear blues - not my color of choice, but this shade Barracuda was a light pale baby blue that I actually would wear out on my nails. This shade does need a few applications before it comes out in a solid color on your nails.

 And also Tickle Me Pink:
I don't think that it was much of a pink shade though, it's more red as you can see in my images above. 
The thing I loved about this shade was that you only had to apply one coat and it was already this vibrant solid color.

 With Sally Hansen's complete SALON MANICURE Spring Racing Collection nail enamel I found that it really was like having a shellac/gel on your nails. The shades were glossy, shiny and smooth.
It has this very silky look and feel to the enamel when on your nails.
The awesome thing about this is they already give you the top coat look in it so no need to spend those extra minutes doing a top coat!! Great for mummies who don't have those few extra minutes!
I loved how they have the smaller brushes to apply onto your nails - it's easier to control the flow of the nail polish onto your nails and easier to drive that brush around the curves to your nails.

 I found the nail enamels stayed on for about 5-6 days before it started chipping and coming off.

This collection is available in 7 shades as featured above and below:

*Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polishes are DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free.
