The new voice of fashion.

Euro Centrale by OPI is a celebration of one of the world’s richest sources of creative talent for centuries, and especially one of the areas of cultural awakening emerging from this region: fashion.

Gothic historical churches alongside modern public buildings punctuated with vibrant graffiti murals are the perfect backdrop for modern fashion design to make its entrance. Young designers present their most avant-garde creations at fashion shows held in museums, designs to rival anything from Paris or Milan.

This fusion of "old meets new" perfectly illustrates how times have changed. Technological advances help us achieve the "have it all" lifestyle – family, career, civic duty, and now, what has become most fundamental — time to nourish ourselves, with a stronger focus on nutrition, exercise, and spiritual growth.

As a result, our lives have become fuller, richer. We are no longer defined so much by what we do for a living, but how we live, including how we color our lives to reflect our passions.

NL E73

You’re Such a BudaPest If I let you borrow this periwinkle-purple, will you go away?

NL E74

Can’t Find My Czechbook I hope you take credit, because I must have this aqua!

NL E75

My Paprika is Hotter than Yours!

Get the extinguisher... this fiery red is sizzling!

NL E76

For some, it’s glamour that defines us. It shines outward

in the way bold metallics shine in luxurious shades of gold (OY–Another Polish Joke!), bronze (Hands Off My Kielbasa!), and copper (A Woman’s Prague-ative).

Hands Off My Kielbasa!

For others, we were born to play – whether it’s physical sports,

playing with our families, or simply having a playful attitude.

We live in bright, happy shades like warm pink (Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN!), periwinkle purple (You’re Such a BudaPest), aqua (Can’t Find My Czechbook), fiery red (My Paprika is Hotter than Yours!), and glittery blues and violets (Polka com).

OY–Another Polish Joke!

I’m changing this shimmery copper for...never mind!

.

And then there are those of us with an "indie" approach to life, deep thinkers who are drawn to colors just as profound.

Bottomless ocean indigo (OPI...Eurso Euro), midnight blue (I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw), and aubergine (Vant to Bite My Neck?) appeal to us. Finally, some of us choose

to remain neutral, allowing us to move freely through the world, but for them, neutral isn’t boring...it’s exciting (My Vampire is Buff)!

As significant as color, nail design continues to be an important element in fashion, acting as accessories as prominent as jewelry. By experimenting with application designs and exploring in new directions, nail fashion heights are limited only by imagination and daring.

What makes

an icon an icon?

Is it visual? Or is it something a little less tangible?

An internet search for the definition of cultural icon results in: a person regarded as having a special status as representative of, or important to, or loved by, a particular group of people. The music industry has produced countless stars and a select few of those stars have reached iconic status. Without a doubt, one of music’s more enduring stars not only reached, but further defined iconic status with her talent, her beauty, and her ability to reach into the hearts of listeners around the world – Mariah Carey. With 14 music industry awards, 18 #1 hits, and over 200 million records sold worldwide, Mariah Carey is one of the best-selling female artists of all time.

So it’s a natural collaboration when this icon pairs up with another icon in its own industry – OPI. Like Mariah, OPI has won numerous industry awards, comes out with hit after hit in each seasonal Nail Lacquer collection, and is the #1 professional brand in the world.

Mariah Carey by OPI introduces eight new limited-edition shades, selected personally by Mariah Carey. Four of the shades feature a new technologically-advanced finish called Liquid SandTM. Fluid as sand in an hourglass, Liquid SandTM Nail Lacquer dries to a textured matte finish infused with reflective glints of light ranging from subtle to sparkle.

opinews OPI Guest Artist Christy Graham knows a winner when she sees one. So sure was she of the outcome of the Miss Arizona pageant, she sent a bottle of Crown Me Already from the OPI Miss Universe promotion to a client’s niece, Erika Frantzve, a pageant competitor. Erika wore it on her toes for the pageant, and we’re not saying it was because she did, but... she won! Congrats, Miss Arizona!

Family Brings Joy

to Zambian Teens

with OPI Nail Lacquer

The power of color has been known to cause spontaneous explosions of smiles and this was well demonstrated when a Houston, Texas family brought OPI Nail Lacquer along on a recent trip with Family Legacy Missions International to serve orphaned and vulnerable children in Zambia, Africa.

Abigail Moorhead, 14, is a big fan of nail color and when she brought some of her favorite OPI Nail Lacquer shades out, older sister Madeleine, 18, recognized an opportunity to create some fun and excitement with the local Zambian teens. The impromptu polishing party resulted in squeals of delight as the teens showed off their nails freshly painted with No Blues About It. As mom Julie so eloquently stated in her letter to OPI, "...something as simple as a bottle of nail polish from an American teenager can be a blessing to other little girls halfway around the world." Thanks, Julie, for the inspiring story!

OPI In Argentina

Miss Arizona Wears & Wins Crown

GelColor Takes a Bite out of

THE BIG APPLE

It’s no secret that Times Square in New York City is a hot spot, but with GelColor by OPI featured on the GeoffreyTron last summer, it was hot and colorful! Located outside the flagship Toys R Us store, passersby saw 15-second spots that ran 48 times per day. Looks like another Broadway hit!

Danny Phung, OPI International Guest Artist and Joey Brown OPI International Spokesperson were invited to assist COTY-Argentina with the OPI Prelaunch during the Buenos Aires Fashion Week that took place from August 7 – 10 at La Rural Exhibition Center. During the event, Phung and Brown were interviewed by leading trade and beauty magazines in Argentina such as HOLA, OHLALA and Harper’s Bazaar, along with other important bloggers. When they weren’t being interviewed by the press they were demonstrating Nail Art with OPI Nail Lacquer at the OPI stand. One lucky contestant won a free OPI Nail Art Manicure through a contest on OPI-Argentina’s Facebook Fan Page. More than 40,000 people attended the Buenos Aires Fashion Week lasting 4 days.

OPI Plays Cupid During the Latin America GelColor training in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, Paola, a nail technician from our distributor California Dos Mil SAC in Peru, fell in love with Leonardo Nuñez, a waiter at a nearby restaurant. A few months later, Leonardo still on her mind, she returned to the D.R. in hopes to find him. Cupid’s arrow must have struck home, because he is now working in a restaurant in Peru happily married to his new bride! Nice work, Paola!

Peerless Beauty Fights Hunger Utah-based Peerless Beauty Supply, in conjunction with their Spring Show, started the "Beauty Against Hunger" campaign in January of 2012. They appealed to their salon professional customers to contribute canned and packaged food items to be given to the Utah Food Bank. At their Spring Show, show goers deposited food contributions in collection containers as they entered the show floor. A sizeable amount was also contributed

by Peerless employees and management staff. Through the efforts of countless fine people, they donated over 4,000 pounds of food and over $18,000.00 in cash donations to the Utah Food Bank. OPI is proud to have participated in this worthy cause!
