Instinct of Color!

OPI Announces Brand’s First International Short Film

OPI pays hommage to its Culture of Color with the international launch of its first branded film. Set to the French DJ band C2C’s “Down the Road,” the video features a surrealistic dance-off between four female dancers and a gorgeous Thoroughbred, as trained by equestrian stuntmaster Mario Luraschi.

Named after OPI’s classic black nail lacquer, Lady in Black (known as Black Onyx in North America) brought to the film a repetoire of moves including tap steps and dancing en pointe, while showcasing bestselling OPI colors on her hooves.

The film’s four featured lacquers – Pink-ing of You, Red My Fortune Cookie, Need Sunglasses? and No Room for the Blues – each represent one style of dance and one overarching theme, illustrating OPI nail lacquer as a means of self-expression.

“I always say that nail lacquer can change your look – and your outlook,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP and Artistic Director. “Today, nail color can convey feelings and emotions, expressing on the outside what the wearer is feeling on the inside. In this short film, four women communicate through dance and color. With a trained Thoroughbred who could replicate the dancers’ moves with very little digital enhancement, we were able to capture the unique, energetic and creative culture that epitomizes the OPI brand.”

The video launches worldwide on October 24, 2012. Please visit OPI on YouTube to view! For more information, please call 800-341-9999 or visit www.opi.com. Follow OPI on Twitter @OPI_PRODUCTS and become a Facebook fan!

Wowsocool Konad Review!

Hey dolls! how is your week going so far I hope that you are all doing great! Today I want to share with you a review product from Wowsocool.com, the lovely Jessica who is behind Wowsocool sent me some products and I'm going to tell you my experience with the products that she sent me.
 
             Here's what I got: Image plate (M36) Special polish in white, Stamp and scraper set.

(Instructions)

• First apply the base color of your choice and let it dry completely once dried, start off by selecting your favorite design on the image plate and then apply the special konad polish scrap off excess polish.
• Place the stamp quickly to pick up the image
• Place the design image onto your nail by pressing and rolling the stamp firmly
• Clean the image plate and scraper with pure acetone after each use to make sure you get a nice & clean design every time!
• Apply a top coat for best results.

Here is my final result I hope that you like it.

Overall, I think Konad is a great alternative for those of you who are like me that are not so
good at free hand nail art.

You can buy Konad products at Wowsocool.com, They offer free shipping in U.S. and Canada with orders above $20.

You can also connect with Wowsocool on Facebook and Twitter as off right now they are offering a 20% discount if you are interested, send them an email at sales@wowsocool.com
