| Color has
the energy to excite, to soothe, to charm. And there has never been a
better, brighter moment for color than Spring/Summer 2008! The season’s
sunny, high-energy palette for nails and lips is the ideal complement to
the new fashions – and it is all here in the India
Collection by OPI.
Luscious fuchsias, corals, oranges, and
reds look fresh now on nails and lips. In the mood for hot pink? Try I’m
Indi-a Mood for Love. Bring a splash of color to fingertips and
toes (especially in open-toed wedge heels) with MonSooner or Later
(rich orange-red) and Keys to My Karma (vivid red). And if
your karma calls for coral, try Lunch at the Delhi on
nails or lips. These shades are wonderful with the fashion palette of
rosy pink, magenta, turquoise, yellow (the new "it" color),
tangerine, and geranium red, often seen as splashes against nude and
natural tones and in bold, graphic prints.
Lighter shades for nails are so right
when worn with the season’s choice of alluring, feminine fabrics. Try
pale opal Get Me to the Taj on Time with delicate dresses
of flowing chiffon, organza, tulle, and liquid jersey (very romantic on
toes during a midnight walk on the beach). Choose Moon Over Mumbai
(dove grey) with spring’s must-have dress, the body-skimming sheath,
in watercolor tones of blush, ivory, lilac, light blue, pistachio, or
taupe. And candy-carnation Elephantastic Pink nails
complement fashion details like sheer overlays, tired skirts, ruffles,
and pleats.
Neutrals and metallics add a sophisticated
touch of color. Royal Rajah Ruby, a jeweled burgundy, and Charmed
by a Snake, a bold bronze, look modern worn on nails or lips;
shimmery gold Curry Up Don’t Be Late!, deliciously deep Black
Cherry Chutney, and dark indigo Yoga-ta Get this Blue! are must
haves for pedicures. Try these shades with fashion’s long, fluid
tunics and loosely cut trousers in mineral stones, as well with high-waisted
pants and slouchy jackets (including an updated spin on the safari
jacket).
This season of color also features
wide-brimmed hats, brightly colored bangles and clutch purses, and
India-inspired beading and metallic embroidery embellishments.
Let the India Collection intrigue you
with colors wrapped in the energy of the season – chic, warm, and
bright. |
