OPI Couture de Minnie is a new collection featuring four limited edition shades and a new Liquid Sand polish.

Obviously Couture de Minnie is inspired by the famous Minnie Mouse! It features fun pink and red shades including a pink, red and white glitter that goes with all the other shades.

Honestly pink and red nail polish doesn’t really sound that exciting, but each and every one of these is nice. I am in love with two of them in particular!

OPI Bond Girls is a new collection featuring six new Liquid Sand shades. The shades are all named after some of the most popular Bond girls in the films.

These Liquid Sands are not only textured but have a shimmery, glittery finish as well. I found them to be really opaque (except one) and I even used one coat on one of them below!

OPI Euro Centrale for spring/summer 2013 is a collection of twelve new polishes created to celebrate the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania.

“When visiting these countries, you’ll view Gothic churches alongside vibrant graffiti murals, blending two very different aesthetics. This fusion of old and new was also seen in runway looks during New York Fashion Week, where classic styles were reinvented with modern silhouettes and patterns.

“Euro Centrale boasts a wide variety of shades, ranging from pale nude to deep blue – and featuring everything from shimmering copper to aqua in between!,” continues Weiss-Fischmann. “Whether you’re looking to spice up a black and white print, or add neutrality to a vivid brocade, these lacquers are designed to accessorize spring’s hottest looks.”

So without further ado, let’s dog into central Europe!

As you probably know by now Mariah Carey by OPI is a new limited edition eight-piece collection out for spring. This collection features eight shades, four of them being a new finish called Liquid Sand. What the what??

Liquid Sand is basically a glittery polish that gives you a textured sand-like finish. You don’t wear a top coat with it, so it’s pebbly and matte when it dries. Now normally I am not a fan of textured nails…but only when they aren’t meant to be textured. I honestly didn’t think I would like these, but I really do! I wore one of them right away after swatching it and really like it. It’s not as “snaggy” as I assumed either. In other words, I didn’t wind up with cat hairs attached to my nails at every turn.

And just to toss this out into the world, I REALLY wish a big brand like OPI would partner with a non-pop artist one of these days for a collection. How about a Nine Inch Nails or Marilyn Manson collection? Maybe A Perfect Circle could do one and it could be called “A Perfect Collection”? I dunno, but it would be cool I think to have some variety!
