Don’t Pretzel My Buttons

A haute honey-beige that can always make you smile.

NL G16

My Very First Knockwurst …and what a magical rosy-nude rendezvous it was!

NL G20

As we bid Auf Wiedersehen to summer and say Hallo to fall, one thing remains the same—our passion for fashion. And designers did not disappoint for Fall 2012, as runways romanced us with alluring textures and decadent colors—complemented beautifully by the stunning new shades in the Germany Collection by OPI. Inspired by what fashion editors are calling "Europe’s hottest new fashion metropolis," the Germany Collection by OPI embraces the classical elegance as well as the avant-garde that is modern Berlin. Burgundy (the season’s gorgeous and undisputed "new black") and red appear in variations from dark to light—German-icure by OPI, Danke-Shiny Red, Schnapps Out of It! and Deutsch You Want Me Baby? Much like the world-renown street art and vibrant swirls of graffiti that pop against the walls of Berlin’s historic buildings, brilliant sapphire (Unfor-greta-bly Blue), red-violet (Suzi & the 7 Düsseldorfs), deep aubergine (Every Month is Oktoberfest), sultry black olive (Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!) and an on-trend, electric-lime yellow (Don’t Talk Bach to Me), contrast beautifully with our creamy, urban-chic neutrals in honey beige (Don’t Pretzel My Buttons), nude rose (My Very First Knockwurst) and light taupe (Berlin There Done That).

"Once again, the hottest accessory of the season is nail color," says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI VP & Artistic Director, "and the shades in the Germany collection are no exception. Each classic color imparts elegance with an edge—taking your fall wardrobe to a whole new level of fashion!"

Berlin There Done That

A traveling taupe that’s seen it all.

(Yep, that too).

NL G13

Don’t Talk Bach to Me

There’s nothing mellow about this sassy lime-yellow!

NL G17

Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!

A bodacious black-olive?

We say "Ja! Ja! Ja!" NL G21

Unfor-greta-bly Blue

Everyone’s favorite Fräulein loves this über shiny blue.

NL G24

Schnapps Out of It!

Shake off the blues with a shot of fall’s must-have mauve!

NL G22

Every Month is Oktoberfest Prost! Here’s to the prettiest plum in the Biergarten.

NL G18

Danke-Shiny Red

You "Bitte" try on this ravishing ruby before it’s too late!

NL G14

Deutsch You Want Me Baby?

A self-assured shade of shimmering red-orange.

NL G15

Suzi & the 7 Düsseldorfs The most beautiful bright purple of all.

NL G23

German-icure by OPI Model is wearing Danke-Shiny Red on nails.

Fall/Winter 2012 The Elegant Side of Edgy.

The best burgundy shimmer in the business.

New York FASHION WEEK Fall 2012

This February, OPI was at it again, accompanying the hottest fall fashion down the runway at New York Fashion Week. Bold, neutral and dark nails accented embellished dresses, furs and colorblock frocks from top designers. Max Azria chose the Soft Shade Passion as a subtle complement to his BCBG and Herve Leger collections, while models for Rebecca Taylor wore the rich navy, Road House Blues. Across town from Lincoln Center, the catwalk of Jason Wu saw military-inspired pieces paired with San Tan-Tonio; and for the first time, OPI provided nails in the vibrant A Good Man-Darin is Hard to Find for Lauren Moffatt’s classroom setting presentation of her school girl-inspired fashion.

OPI Goes down Under

International Beauty Supplies, OPI's Distributor in Australia, recently launched the Touring America Collection at a historical and well-known post office (which was re-named 'OPI Post' for the event). Journalists were invited to the event through a series of postcards, inviting them to 'Pack Their Bags.'

For a social studies school project, fifth grader May Claire McDonald studied OPI and its company history—and won first place at her school! "I thoroughly enjoyed researching your company and even though I am only ten, your nail polish is my favorite," says May."I love to wear Strawberry Margarita, twenty-four seven!"

CONGRATULATIONS New OPI Experts From Malaysia!

Support is spread

Earlier this year, the Women’s Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles hosted the sixth annual Wear Red Day (a national campaign to build awareness of women’s heart disease—the leading cause of death for women in the United States). Just like last year, OPI donated bottles of Big Apple Red Nail Lacquer to the 200+ attendees. The event included a group photo (all guests were encouraged to wear red!), cardiac risk assessment screenings, and a presentation in Harvey Morse Auditorium.

DON'T CRY FOR ME JOEY BROWN…

June Lim Chin Wen Ng Shio Chin

….The truth is, she recently visited Buenos Aires, Argentina!

While there, OPI International Spokesperson Joey Brown hosted an in-house training session at the corporate office of OPI Argentina Distributor Prestige Marketing SRL to introduce OPI GelColor and review the Axxium Soak-Off Gel Lacquer System. "We are extremely pleased with Joey Brown’s visit," said J. Carlos S. Ramirez, director of Prestige Marketing, SRL. "We really hope for her to come back any time!"

Transcontinental globetrotter and OPI International Spokesperson Joey Brown recently traveled to Australia and New Zealand to host a series of GelColor workshops. Her first stop was Australia, where she spent time in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

In each city, Brown hosted two 3-hour GelColor training sessions to approximately 50 attendees. "This program was a lot of fun because the 3-hour presentations were so interactive," said Brown. Her second stop was in Auckland, New Zealand, where she teamed up with Sales/ Marketing Manager Terri Grace and General Manager Jason Grace to present OPI’s Holland Collection and Nicki Minaj Collection to more than 40 journalists and editors. All participants were treated to mini-manicures and hors d’oeuvres. "It was a beautiful event," said Brown, "and everyone loved working with OPI's new GelColor product!"
