Plenty pretty colors, well hidden in minimalistic no colors...
Emelie of P'ssion is enjoying (?) her alcoholic raspberry beverage in the Ice Bar at Nordic Sea Hotel, Stockholm. The place was cold. I was wearing flipflops. Not very smart.
My old neighbor Sara (to the right), who is a nail tech and work for King's Hair, the Swedish distributor of OPI, is giving a journalist from one of the more classic Swedish ladies' magazines a manicure in one of the new colors. Later Sara did my nails too, which was fun, because we were chattering about our hometown and other things no one else would care about.
The cremes of the collection...
...and the shimmers.
Glitzerland, Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous.
Cuckoo For This Color, Ski Teal We Drop, Yodel Me On My Cell.
The Color To Watch, Diva of Geneva, William Tell Me About OPI.
Just a Little Rösti At This, From A to Z-urich, Color So Hot It Berns, I'm Suzi And I'm a Chocoholic. Just a Little Rösti At This and From A to Z-urich was accidently put in the wrong order in the bottle photo, hence reverse order.The cremes are very opaque and take two coats each. The shimmers generally need three, depending on your painting technique and depth desired. The Color to Watch is especially sheer, and might be better as a layering color, but is definitely buildable. The same goes for Glitzerland.
Sure I couldn't resist the green member of the collection, so my nails were done in Cuckoo For This Color. The shimmer in this one is amazing!
No, it doesn't get better than this right now, because that pretty sun that was shining all over us as we went into town, was suspiciously just gone when we went outside the building where the event took place. Hence the blur and flash and whatnot.And guess what? Tomorrow I'm doing my last shift at the asswiping job! Well, at least for now. So hope for some sun so I can swatch this collection soon!
Swedish word of the day:
Schweiz -noun Switzerland
Because it's so obvious.

You are so lucky to get your hands on these, great post! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank You!
ReplyDeleteI like Ski Teal We Drop and Cuckoo looks nice too. I only have one question. Why are the nail tech ladies wearing that thing... they look like they killed chewbacca.
ReplyDeleteKrisInPhilly: Oh yes, indeed. :)
ReplyDeleteKelly: I know! Who's the blonde now, huh? LOL
Sara: Unfortunately not, it's just my bad photos! xD
jaljen: I just don't have a life. ;)
Rebecca: It wasn't that much fun, honestly, since I live in a country that's cold like 9 months a year, going to an ice bar just when the weather is starting to heat up is not my top pick for a great day. LOL Plus most of the beauty peeps apparently live in a different world than I do... But of course it was better than staring at the ceiling all day. :)
jbrobeck: No, the promo pics kind sucked, but I was half-expecting that, since they looked so incredibly shitty that OPI would have been continuing to dig their own grave if that was what the polishes actually would look like. LOL
Brooke: Plain ol' and classic brown nosing. :)
nihrida: I know, right? They mentioned something about it, but I wasn't really paying attention as it didn't seem interesting. ;D I think they were sponsored with those, probably it was supposed to feel "Swiss" or something... And ice bar-ish.
I want to chose Dude, this sucks! just because I'm a wee bit jealous, but nah, I'm not that mean.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I don't get and haven't gotten since I first heard about this collection is the Rösti-nailpolish. A red Rösti? What?
You must be my long lost twin since we like the same ones! I never like gold cause I think they don't look good on me either, but this one... maybe? Here is to wishful thinking!
ReplyDeleteschmut: I don't get that one either. But then agin, sometimes it takes me YEARS to figure out those little OPI puns. Do you suppose the English speaking use "rusty" like we use "rostig"? Maybe that's it. It's the most decent suggestion I have yet. But no, my rösti is yellowish... :D Add beet? xD
ReplyDeleteCuckoo For This Color is fabulous!!!!!
