Nicole by OPI Announces Two New Limited Edition Neon Mini Kits, the Brand’s First Neon Lacquer

Bright nail lacquer is a summer staple when it comes to nail polish, and this summer brings the release of two new limited edition neon mini kits from Nicole by OPI. Pictured here are the Scandalous! Neons (from left to right: Blue Neon, Purple Neon, Pink Neon, and the White Base).

To get a bright pop of color, apply one coat of the White Base lacquer under two coats of your favorite neon nail lacquer. Finish with a sweep of a shiny top coat.

What are your thoughts on the new Nicole by OPI Scandalous! Neon nail lacquers?

Nicole by OPI launches its first neon nail lacquer with two limited edition mini kits. Scandalous! Neons includes vivid shades of blue, purple and pink while the Notorious! Neons includes vibrant shades of green, fuchsia and orange.

Each Neons kit includes a special white base coat, to be applied before adding color, allowing true neon pigments to pop. “These kits offer the hottest hues in a mini size to complement summer styles,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “Think of your nails as a blank canvas.  With these color combinations, there are endless options for creating works of art.”

In addition to the white base, Scandalous! Neons includes: Blue Neon (this blatant blue is deliberately belligerent), Purple Neon (this attention-seeking purple is a real publicity hound), and Pink Neon (this pink’s purpose is to provoke your senses).

Along with white base, Notorious! Neons includes: Green Neon (this gossip-stirring green is the talk of the town), Fuchsia Neon (this fuchsia is famous for being unabashedly bold), and Orange Neon (this outrageous orange doesn’t know the meaning of meek).

“The shades included in both sets are perfect for accessorizing fingers and toes with bright pops of color,” adds Weiss-Fischmann. “The first step is to apply the white base coat followed by the desired neon shade; finish with one coat of Nicole by OPI Top Coat Plus to achieve intense neon color with a glossy finish.”

Nicole by OPI formulas are long-lasting, fast-drying, and salon-quality.   Scandalous! Neons and Notorious! Neons mini packs will be available in stores beginning May 2013 for $10 each at retailers including Meijer, CVS, Duane Reade, H-E-B, Kroger, and ShopKo.  Top Coat Plus will be sold alongside the kits for $7.99. In Canada, the kits will be available for $12.50 each and Top Coat Plus for $10.99 at Loblaw, Jean Coutu, Rexall, London Drugs, and Shoppers Drug Mart.

Nicole by OPI Announces NEW Limited Edition Gumdrops Nail Lacquers (Swatches!)

Keep your eyes peeled beginning this May and throughout the summer for the release of Nicole by OPI’s new limited edition Gumdrops Nail Lacquers. The collection includes six bright candy-colored “matte texture” shades. You can sport the lacquer without a topcoat for a frosted sugar-like finish, or with a topcoat for a more sparkly sugar-coated appearance.

Pictured here are the Gumdrops lacquers in Candy is Dandy (an adorable girly pink) and I Lilac Gumdrops (a gorgeous lavender). I love both shades, but I’m really drawn to I Lilac Gumdrops. (In fact, it’s in the running to be my vacay polish choice.)
