GWEN STEFANI FOR OPI

You love her style, and now you can have her nails too! Glam diva Gwen Stefani recently teamed up with OPI nails to launch their latest collection featuring 7 limited edition lacquers for 2014. And I was luck enough to get my hands on some of the new shades!

Paying homage to her signature look, the collection includes a bold red lacquer (much like her statement red lips), a new semi-matte satin finish in shades of gold and black, and a mirrored chrome paired with a special base coat.

Inspired by the 2013 Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala that featured the theme “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” OPI Executive VP and Artistic Director Suzi Weiss- Fischmann decided to create a collection of lacquer celebrating the role of music as a major influence in fashion. “With her expertise as a singer, songwriter and designer, who better to collaborate with than Gwen Stefani?” asks Weiss-Fischmann. “Known for her trademark red lips, bold eye makeup and nail art, Gwen uses beauty to accessorize her style”.

‘Over And Over A Gwen’

‘Hey Baby’

‘In True Stefani Fashion’


‘Love Angel Music Baby’

‘4 in the Morning’

Recently I was lucky enough to give these colors a test drive, and I have to say I’m loving all these colors. With bright reds and pinks, rich matte shades like charcoal and wine, some sparkle thrown into the mix; I think this collection is perfect to take you through the gloomy months of January. And in true OPI fashion the colors have adorable names! I mean? ‘Over and Over A Gwen’ I died! How adorable is that? I love it. Sorry for totally nerding out on the marketing here; I just can’t help myself.

Currently I’m sporting the ‘4 in the morning’ and I love its matte gray finish! It’s dark, but the color actually dries a lot lighter than you expect, and its almost a leather like finish, which I think is pretty cool. Up next? That beautiful shade of pink: Hey baby! Hey baby! Hey!
