Released TODAY, Texas by OPI shares a modern-American style with 12 new shades. With a mix of brights and neutral shades, Texas is perfect for Spring/Summer 2011. The collection includes:

L-R: Do You Think I'm Tex-y?, Houston, We Have A Purple, Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em, and Y'all Come Back To Hear?

L-R: San Tan-tonio, Austin-tatious Turquoise, It's Totally Fort Worth It, and I Vant To Be A Lone-Star.

I'm totally coveting "San Tan-tonio" and "Houston We Have A Purple!"

OPI: Shrek Forever After Collection

With Shrek The Final Chapter in theatres May 21st, OPI created a summer collection of bright colours dedicated to the film. The collection consists of 6 colours, all of which are related to the characters in the film. I loved the other Shrek films and cannot wait for this one to come out!

The collection includes:

- Funky Donkey: What could be funnier than a dark purple?

- What's with the Cattitude: A bit arrogant blue

- Rumple's Wiggin': Lavender this is a keeper

- Shrek the Who Are You: A brilliant green colour that stands for something

- Ogre-the-top Blue: The biggest, best ever bright blue

- Fiercely Fiona: Green you should not make jokes about

The colours are all very vibrant, but I think they will be great for summertime, especially on toes. I'm most excited for Rumple's Wiggin'!

Welcome to Hong Kong: OPI Spring Collection

There is something about new nail polish colours that excites me. Although OPI and Essie are both equal in my books, OPI's new spring collection, Hong Kong, is bright and fun.

The majority of the colours are jewel tones, and have amazing names (this is one of the many reasons why I LOVE about OPI).

The collection includes:

• Bling Dynasty A char-”ming” gold that shimmers and glimmers
• Red My Fortune Cookie And this rich red is in my future
• Hot & Spicy A sizzling coral that’s a kung pao wow!
• Dim Sum Plum A berry delectable delicacy
• Jade is the New Black The vibrant green is the new fashion vibe
• Suzi Says Feng Shui A serene cobalt blue to balance your yin yang
• A Good Man-darin is Hard to Find But you’ve found it- in this zesty red-orange!
• Lucky Lucky Lavender Be pretty and prosperous in this luscious light purple
• Meet Me on the Star Ferry A Kowloon-lit, moonlit violet
• Panda-monium Pink Lend a panda a hand-a in this uproarious light pink
• Pearl of Wisdom Smart girls choose this lustrous pearl shade
• Chop-sticking to My Story I mean it – “pick up” this warm caramel shade

I love all of the purple shades, but I am excited for Hot & Spicy, which is the coral shade. Which spring collection do you like better, Essie or OPI?

OPI's NEW Fall Collection
OPI's fall colors have started to hit stores. As sad as it is knowing that school is around the corner, it is exciting to start back to school/fall shopping. OPI's new fall collection, Espana, offers a variety of colors representing the country of Spain.

Some of the colors include: Barefoot in Barcelona, a nude shade; Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow, a dark emerald shade; No Spain No Gain, a berry shade; and 9 other exciting polishes. My favourite color is Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, a deep blue-grey color.

I'm usually an OPI-kind-of-girl, but recently my friend told me to buy Essie nail polish. I haven't seen their fall collection, but am quite excited for it to come out!
