OPI Holland Collection 2012: Red Lights Ahead…Where?

I was invited to the launch of the OPI Holland Collection last week, which you can read about here. It’s a lush collection, with some gorgeous shades to see you through SS12. 
I wore the red shade from the collection this weekend and have fallen in love with it. Below is a swatch of it.
There is nothing like a good red on your nails to make you feel like a classy lady, and this one did just that! Red isn’t an easy colour to wear, but ‘Red Lights Ahead…Where?’ was stunning against my olive skin. As with most OPI lacquers, its creamy texture applied smoothly, with a high gloss finish. 

The OPI Holland Collection will be available to buy at £11 each from February 2012

First Look: Holland Collection By OPI SS12

I had a cheeky little trip to Holland and back this morning. Well actually, Holland came to Claridges (and how absolutely stunning is it in there. #LOVE!), anyway, as i was saying, Holland came to Claridges courtesy of the fabulous OPI, who launched their SS12 collection.

 ‘Holland Collection‘ is a colourful assortment of shades that very nearly matched the pretty Tulips decorating the Drawing Room. Looking at the collection as a whole, it’s obviously a summer collection, but there are a few cheeky surprises in there. Of course there are the sunny brights, namely pinks and orange, but actually there are a couple of very nice, but much deeper hues too. Shimmering browns, deep purple and mauve’s which you might typically associate with winter collections. Nonetheless i am rather excited about getting my hands on them. Here is a quick first look at the range, i will be swatching a couple of shades later in the week, so look out for those.
