Opi Upcoming Collections Preview

First up : Pirates of the Caribbeans Brights 2011

Every brand seems to be releasing a pastel nail polish collection lately and obviously Opi will soon be following the trend too with this new collaboration with the movie industrie.

Unfortunately I don't have any official info on a launch date yet but my guess is that it'll be sometime before May 20, 2011, when "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" will hit the movie theaters.

6 new colors will be available, as well an effect topcoat : Silver Shatter.



From left to right :
Planks a Lot : Pastel muted purple
Sparrow Me the Drama : Smoky purple-pink
Steady as She Rose : delicate rose pink



 

From left to right :
Mermaid Tears : Light pastel seagreen
Stranger Tides : Lightest pastel yellow
Scull and Glossbones : Pearly white shimmer



Silver Shatter Topcoat

Well, good thing that Opi seems to have heard those who were asking for the release new shatter colors... I can already here you stamping your feet with impatience!

Pirates don't call for pastels in my opinion but rather dark, vampy, mysterious, dangerous shimmers or duochromes...

Maybe Walter Disney's pirates wear pastels? LOL.

I'll have to wait and see swatches of the whole collection and forget about the pirate thing, I'm sure they'll be beautifull pastels if they are anywhere near Not Like the Movies, It's Totally Forth it or I Vant to Be A-Lone Star. We've seen a lot of beautiful shimmery pastels lately and given Opi's standard in term of formula, I'm pretty sure they won't disappoint.

We have a little bit more info thanks to the UK based blog Just Nice Things.

The promo pictures seem to be off, "washed-out", that's just fine with me... I'd rather have these.

I don't think that the swatches above are color accurate either, they may have been taken during the event, so I encourgage you to visist the link for more pics.

This being said, I am really impressed with the Silver Shatter, I mean, I thought it would be some kind of shimmery grey but definitely not that HOT super sparkly foil-like silver!!!

Now, I can't wait to get my hands on it and I can only imagine the hype around it.

Second, we have the new "Serena Grand Slam" set :

The release date is set sometime in April, this new set set will include Spark De Triomphe, a cool toned dense gold glitter with sparse larger particles and another shatter topcoat : White Shatter

Now on to the "Femme de Cirque" Softshades 2011

This year's bridal collection will consist in 3 sheer pinks-with-a-twist and a clear shimmery nail polish, release May 2011.

From left to right :
I Juggle...Men :  clear with purple and turquoise shimmer
In the spot-light : pink - sheer baby pink
Step right up! : sheer white with a purple tint
So many clowns...So little time : sheer white with a pink tint

Well there's not much to say about these, it's hard to judge a sheer french manicure type of color by a promo picture but they do look promising, especially I Juggle...Men, I could totally image this shimmer as a "something blue".
