OPI "Touring America" Collection

Who wants to take a pretty little road trip? let's go ACROSS AMERICA!!!


OPI's NEW "Touring America" Fall 2011 Collection is 12 glorious shades inspired by American cities and what sets them apart from all the others.


I was reading the write up on stylelist and Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI's Executive VP & Artistic Director stated that "This collection will take women around the world on the ultimate tour across the USA, with stops in Baltimore, Clarksdale, Hollywood, Jackson Hole, Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, St. Louis, and Tucson."


First you have your dark neutrals, sort of remind me of the goth look...

(L-R Road House Blues, I Brake for Manicures, Uh-oh Roll Down the Window & Honk If You Love OPI)

THEEEEN you have, what will probably be my FAVE group, the bright, warm, vibrant shades...

(L-R My Address is "Hollywood", Color to Dine For, Are We There Yet? & I Eat Mainley Lobsters)

And OF COURSE you have to have the greys, love greys, & the taupe colors...

(L-R A-Taupe the Space Needle, Suzi Takes the Wheel, Get in the Expresso Lane, French Quarter for Your Thoughts)

I KNOW for a fact I'll be using these colors for a minute, love them ALL pretty much...I could use them OVER and OVER, on my pretty little hands AND my twinkle toes!

The collection will be in stores & salons on August 3rd for $8.50 each.

I'm a sucker for STRIPES!

I used to always hear that horizontal stripes made you look wider and vertical stripes make you look taller...HONESTLY they all look the same to me: CUTE!

I think what makes me like them SO MUCH is because SO MUCH can be done with them...

mixing the stripes with a solid REALLY makes the pattern stick out and you can dress them UP or down, anywhere from a striped button-up for work , or a striped tank for the club or just to chill. 

And then it seems like I can put ANY color accessories with ANY color combo of stripes.  I picked a FEW faves....lemme see how I would "jazz" them up:

1.  maybe a white tank, or an off-the-shoulder top...wouldn't go with the blue or red color, there's already enough color in the skirt, and I could do more up top with the blank canvas that is white...now as far as what shoes I would wear, THEN I would go with the blue or red, maybe a strappy sandal or a nude maybe, that's ANOTHER favorite for me this year

2.  you really don't have to do MUCH, seeing as though it's a dress and you kinda wanna be simple....I'm thinking maybe gold bangles and gold flats, nothing extravagant

3.  I've worn something VERY similar to this, I got A LOT of compliments on it....I wore a multi-chain necklace with it, hang low, and it was PERFECT

4.  t-shirt and jeans, you can never go wrong....gray skinny jeans maybe, or black, OR white, with black sandals...VERY casual

5.  ANY color sandals, DARK denim jeans would be cute....

6.  I LOVE this jacket....ADORE it, reminds me of the club!  I could put ANY color under it, I'm thinking red, or royal blue, or yellow....and THEN pair it with a SLIMMING pair of black tights, LOVE IT!

7.  this could be the same as 8., I would do black tights OR jeans, skinny ones of course, and PROBABLY a white cami OR tank, or white tee, and black flip flops....COMFY!

8.  they remind me SO much of the beach, California OR Florida, South Beach....I see a pair of gold-trimmed aviators, an oversized white button-up, OR shirt, with the nude sandals, strappy ones....gold accessories would be PERFECT!

As y'all can see, YUP I love stripes...LOVE them LoL...

look at the ROCK on her finger!

More Topshop...

China Glaze CRACKLE Colors!!!

CRACKLE! You heard of it?! If not...you are SLIPPIN'!

It gives your nails a “crackled” design over ANY nail color. Contrasting colors are used one over another to create a deconstructed shatter look that literally happens INSTANTLY as they dry! NAIL ART at it's finest!  Well China Glaze's NEW Crackle is available at Sally’s Beauty Supply and BSG in 12 piece displays and 3 pack color kits which will include a base color, a crackle glaze (Black Mesh, Broken Hearted or Crushed Candy) and a China Glaze Top Coat. Colors include: 

• Lightning Bolt – White Crackle
• Black Mesh – Black Crackle
• Broken Hearted – Pink Crackle
• Cracked Concrete – Grey Crackle
• Fault Line – Purple Crackle
• Crushed Candy – Teal Crackle

My first time, I used O.P.I. Black Crackle over O.P.I.'s lime color from the Shrek Collection, Fiercely Fiona.  I got A LOT of compliments on it, and I know NEXT TIME I'm going to use a MUCH brighter color that will show through A LOT better...maybe gray or white, or pink...YEAH!

My friend Chevron is getting MARRIED and I'm SO excited to go to ANOTHER wedding!
It's next week, in Baton Rouge, my SECOND home, and I get to be with ALL of my girls...
THAT I MISS DEARLY!!!!
Now...my GOAL: to look H-O-T-T!
I plan to go with my mother, she can be my "personal shopper", and PLUS she's paying LoL!
My girl Ms. LaMirica London, over at Fashionably L8, she suggested JCPenny...
GREAT sales, CUTE clothes, and a HUGE variety!
So I went on over to JCPenny and I hit the JACKPOT!
I'm trying to step outside of the box and try colors OTHER than black, and if I DO go with black, I'll accessorize with bold, bright colors...and a SEXY ass shoe!
OF COURSE I wanna make sure the "girls" look good, and the waistline looks slim : )
LOOK AT WHAT I FOUND:
