OPI Teams Up with Disney for Oz: The Great and Powerful Collection

OPI has another collaborative collection! The new nail collection is inspired by the new Disney movie Oz: The Great and Powerful, an adaptation of the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz. While the movie is not debuting until March, the collection has us anxious for the magical new shades, featuring pearlized, glittery and matte finishes.Neither the movie or the collection include Dorothy,  but it would have been fun to include a sparkly red polish for kickers. We'll digress. I would have also preferred bolder colors in the collection...only neutrals and metallic glitters here. Nonetheless, the collection's color mix has a sense of whimsy, magic, and mystery. Oh, and the "liquid sand" is a matte glitter. Hmmm, sounds interesting...wonder what that looks like on nails!

Trend to try: Stiletto Nails

Over the last few months many celebrities, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, just to name a few, have been spotted sporting a new popular nail trend, Stiletto nails. 

If you haven’t heard of them or seen them anywhere, Stiletto nails are when your nails a shaped and rolled tight into a narrow tip.  I’ll have to admit, I’m more of a fan for natural nails versus acrylic ones but,  I was chosen to be a part of a photo shoot for a colleague of mine and at their request I went and got them done. 

These nails make your hands look very elegant, but I feel incredibly over the top. I’m sure I’ll get a few stares and/or questions from my coworkers.

Having these nails remind me of when I was a little girl, playing dress up and putting on press-on nails. My only regret is that I didn’t get them a little shorter. It makes me wonder how people function with long nails on a regular basis. I got white polish at my friend’s request but I’m excited to try some other colors and I’m definitely looking forward to getting these shortened.

Has anyone else channeled their inner Rihanna with their nails? Tell us what you think.

These are such cute ideas! I love them all...and they all look so easy to achieve. You can be as creative as you want, and use different colors. If you dont want to be so bold, just design one finger instead of all of them. I think I may do one of these designs.

Here's a little tutorial for Holly Nails!

Merry Christmas!
