Try Essie, they do great non-shimmery blues.

My favorite blue is by Mavala, its called Cyclades

I found this color blue that would be perfect its called Snowcone and its by Orly Nail Lacquer

I really like OPI's No Room for Blues. It's definitely my fave blue for summer:

I also love Essie Mesmerize, a bright royal blue:

My favorite dark blues are Teal by Rescue Beauty Lounge and OPI Russian Navy.

^ That Essie Mesmerize is so nice! I recently went green with Essie Pretty Edgy. My girlfriends had mixed reviews, but it's so Spring and unexpected.

I highly recommend the Sally Hansen nail foils...I use them often and they really do last for at least a week. I always put one top coat on top of them, but I don't think they would chip without it. It just looks slightly more like nail polish to me with the top coat.

Either Sally Hansen or Revlon just came out with a crackle line...can't remember which, but I've noticed just about every drug store has a display of them out now. And it works just as well as the OPI. I'm all about paying less if the product is just as good, and this stuff is. I bought a bottle of black and used it over hot pink...it's out-there, but I like to have fun when I don't have to look particularly polished. (Also IMO it's easier to get away with patterned or loud nails when you keep them short.)

I'm a nail polish addict. I started keeping them painted 24/7 (though I do it myself) when I became a printmaking major since I had ink under my nails at all times...opaque polish hid the stains. Love Essie and OPI but I've honestly found that I can usually find colors and quality that are just as good from Sally Hansen, and they have a few lines that are cheaper than Essie.

I'm not finding these on their web site ...

I wasn't actually aware OPI was commercially available. I've only ever seen it at nail salons. But I've been very pleased with how well it holds up after a manicure.

According to most beauty blogs that reported on the collection, it will be available in March.

^^ My connection said that according to her professional beauty supplier, it will be out February 1st. They have all of the new colors and swatches locked up in an acrylic box until then.

Either way, it is weird that they aren't on the OPI site yet.

Depending on which location you go to, one can find OPI at CVS and Duane Reade--even the new colors!

I was at Nordstrom Rack this past weekend and they had the Nicki Minaj colors on sale, which was funny because they just came out.

agzg · #12 01-08-2012, 07:24 PM

Wow, I just love "Dutch'ya just love OPI".

AOIIalum · #13 01-08-2012, 07:58 PM

Hope they have "Kiss me on my Tulips" and "Dutch'ya just love OPI" in the gel color line.

Thanks for posting the new colors...my OPI collection is getting out of control! I just got two of the new Nicki Minaj by OPI colors this weekend

I got a manicure last week with "Metallic 4 Life" (the black w/ silver glitters). Love it! I don't buy nail polish so I rely pretty heavily on my nail place to have the newest colors for me to experiment!
