Viva Mexico, say OPI this spring Celebrate the thriving art scene of Ciudad de Mexico (CDMX) with the new Mexico City Collection by OPI. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant art and fashion scenes of Mexico City, 12 rich colours encapsulate the palettes of hues the artists of Ciudad de Mexico are renowned for.

Commenting on the launch, OPI Global Director of Color Collections Jill Bartoshevic, says: “With this collection, we looked to Mexico City’s trendsetting street style, blending of old heritage and new urban feel, and passion and enthusiasm for art and design. The end result is a fresh spring palette with colours for everyone including soft pastels, energetic brights, and vivid floral tones. Telenovela Me About It - a perfect bright pink-purple that we’ve seen reflected on the spring runways - is sure to be a favourite of the season.”

All colours are available in OPI Nail Lacquer, Infinite Shine and GelColor formulas, selected colours are also available in OPI Powder Perfection dipping powders. Hennessy Hair & Beauty: 021 434 3436 / www.hennessyhb.ie
