Although it's definitely not winter, I have a winter collection to share today. One might argue it's still relevant today, another might say this post is long overdue. I would agree with both people, and again apologize for all the delayed posts. Even so, you can still purchase the
Breakfast at Tiffany's Collection from OPI at some retailers, like
HB Beauty Bar here.
The collection is meant to reflect Holly Golightly's (played by Audrey Hepburn) effortless and classic beauty with a sense of playfulness. I also jumped straight to jewels and diamonds when thinking of nail art for this collection, so I present, "Jewels for Breakfast".
Of course I myself had to adorn myself in diamonds...albeit fake and born from a
candle.
The beautiful blue base for my diamond nails is
I Believe in Manicures. The base for the marble nails is
Breakfast at Tiffany's, then I swirled
Black Dress Not Optional and
Five-and-Ten in to get the effect of marble.
The glitz and the glam go beyond what I've done on my nail art though. There is a LOT of glitter in this collection...ready?

OPI - Apartment for Two |
Apartment for Two (2 coats) is one of the colors I meant as being relevant in this spring and upcoming summer season. It is a
hot pink magenta creme.
|
OPI - Black Dress Not Optional |
Black Dress Not Optional (2 coats) is a dark charcoal metallic - like a luxury car's paint job.
|
OPI - Breakfast at Tiffany's |
Breakfast at Tiffany's (3 coats) is a nude off-white based creme with light gold shimmer throughout. You can barely see the shimmer, but it makes a special effect I haven't seen before.
|
OPI - Can't Read Without My Lipstick |
Can't Read Without My Lipstick (2 coats) feels more winter, but this classic blood red creme rivals all-time OPI favorites like
Got the Blues for Red and
I'm Not Really a Waitress (without the shimmer).
|
OPI - Champagne for Breakfast |
Champagne for Breakfast (2 coats) is a straight-up holographic glitter in a sheer base.
|
OPI - Fire Escape Rendezvous |
Fire Escape Rendezvous (2 coats) is a fiery red metallic with shards of red glitter for texture. Each piece of glitter is cut randomly and jagged - no rhyme or reason.
|
OPI - Five-and-Ten |
Five-and-Ten (2 coats) is a very interested silver metallic. Interesting, in that it's a pinkish silver with iridescent shards of shimmer. The pink sheen was hard to capture on camera, but it is a little rosy.
|
OPI - Got the Mean Reds |
Got the Mean Reds (2 coats) is as classic as they come - just a bright, easy, cherry pie red creme.
|
OPI - I Believe in Manicures |
I Believe in Manicures (2 coats) is a light, baby blue creme. It applies nicely - not chalky like some pastels.
|
OPI - Meet My "Decorator" |
Meet My "Decorator" (2 coats) is a favorite, bright orange-red creme - again, great for summer.
|
OPI - Rich & Brazilian |
Rich & Brazilian (2 coats) is definitely rich! I wrote "WOW" in the swatch book on this one. This deep burgundy base has interesting pink shimmer adorned throughout - but it's not textured. Really dreamy.
|
OPI - Sunrise...Bedtime! |
Sunrise...Bedtime! (2 coats) might be the favorite in this collection...another glitter suspended in a clear base, this time light pink and holo glitter. This one is slightly more dense than
Champagne for Breakfast as well.
