OPI Texas Collection
Available February 2, 2011 ($8.50)
These sorbet-style formulas for nails will be in full swing by 2012, but women can get a jump start on this trend with colors in the Texas Collection . Unlike thicker creams or light sheers, these twelve shades are slightly translucent – similar to the look of icy, water-based sorbet!
From sea blue and berry pink to tangerine and bright peach, the Texas Collection features classic American colors. Designed to complement trends from the runway, these candy-coated lacquers accessorize the season’s must-have neutral pieces.
To achieve the desired effect, an initial coat of Nail Lacquer should be applied to all ten fingers first – without doubling up coverage. Be sure to start from the pinky finger on one hand and paint through to the pinky on the other hand; then, after the first coat has dried, apply a second coat.

Katy Perry Collection by OPI ($8)
- Teenage Dream Big glitter and microglitter, clear with a hint of pink
- Not Like the Movies Metallic purple/green with some glitter, 2 coats
- Last Friday Night Big glitter and microglitter, clear with a hint of blue
- The One That Got Away Glittery magenta, 2 coats
- Black Shatter a cracked pattern appears when applied over each dried bright lacquer
- Simply Smashing (Serena Williams Collection) yellow with glitter
I am not a big fan of the big glittery shades but the other shades are really nice. For the Black Shatter you need to use it over dry nail polish and it doesn’t work with just any nail polish. It dries best on top of OPI nail polish. I tried using it over MAC and nothing happened. When the Black Shatter dries it starts to shrink up and create the separate black pieces on your nail.
