OPI's *New* Formula

OPI has original, matte, suede, shatter, jelly, and now...........Sorbet! Sorbet is like the jelly formula on crack. It is semi-opaque, super shiny, and ready for summer. This new formula is used in the OPI Texas Collection polishes for Spring 2011: Y'all Come Back Ya Hear, Guy Meets Gal-veston, Big Hair...Big Nails, Too Hot Pink to Hold 'Em, Do You Think I'm Tex'y, and Houston We Have A Purple. I blogged about it a few entries below.

You can use a white base coat under the jelly polish if you would like it more opaque.

I already ordered: Houston We Have A Purple, Do You Think I'm Tex'y, Too Hot Pink to Hold Them, Big Hair...Big Nails, Suzi Loves Cowboys, and Don't Mess With OPI. Hopefully they are here soon for me to swatch.

OPI Launches Texas Collection for Spring/Summer 2011

OPI comes “home” to the USA with timeless style in the Texas Collection forSpring/Summer 2011. These vivid shades are as iconic as images of an American summer – adding a fresh, effortlessly chic look for nails and toes.

“Texas provided the inspiration for this season, with bright colors and classic neutrals that draw from the American spirit,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “Taking cues from the state’s naturally beautiful backdrop, the Texas Collection features warm tones from honey and tangerine to dazzling hues of violet and sky blue.” 

This season, American classics come to life with sunny peach (Big Hair…Big Nails) and vivid honeysuckle (Too Hot Pink to Hold ‘Em).  Lush berry (Houston We Have a Purple) and grassy green (Don’t Mess with OPI) add a splash of the USA’s most vibrant colors to the season’s must-have neutrals (San Tan-tonio).

“The Texas Collection complements trends from the runway, where white made an appearance as the new black,” explains Suzi.  “Wearing these colors on fingers and toes will accessorize the season’s must-have pieces – from brightly colored botanical prints and filmy scarves to relaxed trousers and jackets and fuller, longer skirts – all done in shades of white, ivory, cream and taupe.”

Texas Collection accompanies spring and summer fashion favorites with the following shades:
