Whether it’s a soft pink, French manicure, bright red, light brown, or even naked nails, the colors we love say something about who we are…to ourselves and everyone else.

And, colors on our nails are just the beginning. (more…)   SensationalColor.com

We’ve already talked about how super bright colors will be lighting up your home and wardrobe this Spring…

Now these electrified shades, in colors with names like psychedelic coral, hot pop blue, Studio 54 and Chrome yellow will be making a splash in your cosmetic bag as well.

Even our favorite stars are looking a little brighter this year: Katherine Heigl took to the Oscar runway in a custom blended super bright coral lips, Avril Levine’s trademark pink streak made it’s way onto the Spring catwalk while who could forget Rhianna flashing a neon orange manicure when she took home her Grammy last month.

So say bye, bye beige and sianara to nudes…. bold neon inspired hues are here! (more…)   SensationalColor.com

Are your nails feeling blue?

Leave it to the make-up geniuses at Chanel to create yet another nail polish frenzy. Much like their “Noir” that was sold out everywhere in Fall 2006, they have followed up with “Blue Satin” a shade that is currently in such high demand it may take a bid on Ebay to score a bottle.

I wrote about seeing blue polish on the trend horizon last spring… now it’s the hot color du jour. I asked Kate about this trend and she said, “As we ushered in the new year many hues of blue from sky to navy were already appearing in home and fashion stores everywhere and buyers are scooping up items in this universally appealing color. Blue is also a popular color this year among car buyers, global color authority Pantone named blue their color of 2008 and Yves Klein blue is making a come back internationally. Is it any wonder that the blue nail color trend you saw beginning last Spring has found such a following? ” (more…)   SensationalColor.com

Nail color: OPI celebrates 25 colorful years

Opi Nail Laquer

I remember the first time I bought OPI nail polish. It was a shade of coral that perfectly blended with my tanned skin and became an immediate “have to have” purchase.

OPI was still the “new kid” then, so it seems hard to believe that this year they are celebrating 25 years of bringing color to the world and that their business has grown across 75 countries and six continents.

For over two decades, OPI has offered glorious color and style, and their 25th anniversary collection continues in that tradition.

The colors are timeless, with a richness and diversity of style that will satisfy every fashion personality and will blend perfectly with this seasons fashion colors. Warm caramel, deep brown, rich reds, and the sophisticated mid-shades of straw, gray flannel, and moss green will all stand out aside brown.

Even luxurious metallics and jewel tones will make an appearance with brown this season.

A few of the colors are shown here, but for the complete offering and the always creative color names visit OPI.com.

Now the question is, should I try “Decades of Shades,” “OH…To Be 25 Again!” or “OP-I Love This Color” first?   SensationalColor.com
