{I happened to have a Don\’t Mess with Texas shirt laying around that a friend bought me}
OPI has come out with collections such as France, Hong Kong, Swiss…etc. Well OPI has come \”home\” to the USA and has created a timeless Texas Collection. The colors are iconic to images of an American summer.
@font-face { font-family: \”Arial\”; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: \”Times New Roman\”; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }
From the company that brought revolutionary nail textures such as suede, matte and Black Shatter OPI has come out with a new special finish which has a semi-transparent sorbet style. This revolutionary Sorbet Style is featured first in the Texas Collection by OPI which is their Spring/Summer 2011 line. The colors are the perfect lacquers to give fingers and toes a lightly glossed appearance.
The Sorbet lacquers were hard to take a picture of because of their glossed appearance. Below you\’ll find a color wheel that features all of the sorbet shades. This is exactly how they appear. So when picking out a color go by my wheel more than my nail swatches.
{from left to right: Y\’all Come Back Ya Hear?, Guy Meets Gal-veston, Big Hair…Big Nails, Too Hot Pink to Hold \’Em, Do You Think I\’m Tex-y? and Houston We Have a Purple.} @font-face { font-family: \”Arial\”; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: \”Times New Roman\”; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; } @font-face { font-family: \”Arial\”; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: \”Times New Roman\”; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }
{Ya\’ll Come Back Ya Hear?}
Y\’all Come Back Ya Hear? is a a tangerine creamsicle shade that is perfect for the spring orange, peach and tangerine trend.
{Guy Meets Gal-veston}
Guy Meets Gal-veston is a watermelon pink and is one of my favorites.
{Big Hair…Big Nails}
Big Hair…Big Nails is a rosy peach shade.
{Too Hot Pink to Hold \’Em}
Too Hot Pink to Hold \’Em is a cherry pink and looks gorgeous against a warm skintone.
{Do You Think I\’m Tex-y?}
Do You Think I\’m Tex-y? is a beautiful raspberry shade. Definitely will get you into wishing summer was here.
{Houston We Have a Purple}
Houston We Have a Purple is red-violet shade. As soon as I saw it I immediately thought of a juicy plum.
Below is the rest of the Texas Collection by OPI. On the color wheel is exactly how the colors appear.
{from left to right: I\’m Totally Fort Worth It, I Vant to Be A-Lone Star, Austin-tatious Turquoise, Don\’t Mess with OPI, Suzi Loves Cowboys and San Tan-tonio}
{I\’m Totally Fort Worth It}
I\’m Totally Fort Worth It is a shimmery gray lavender.
{I Vant to Be A-Lone Star}
I Vant to Be A-Lone Star is a sky blue.
{Austin-tatious Turquoise}
Austin-tatious Turquoise is mermaid blue green shade.
{Don\’t Mess with OPI}
Don\’t Mess with OPI is a foresty grass green. Here it is in the sun you get a lighter green however in the house under regular light you get more of a forest grass green as seen in the color wheel above.
{Suzi Loves Cowboys}
Suzi Loves Cowboys is a beautiful chocolate brown. Definitely reminds me of campfire s\’mores.
{San Tan-tonio}
San Tan-tonio is a sandy honey color wear this on your toes and it\’ll definitely blend in with the sand.
