OPI Espana Collection Fall 2009

My nail partner in crime came back into town this last weekend, so I think I may just be back to weekly manicures... eck for my wallet. Oh well, it is such good quality time. Last saturday I found colors for both my hands and toes on the counter of the salon on the latest OPI collection display.

The OPI Espana collection is so fresh and perfect for fall, I am loving it. I wish I was traveling to Spain instead, but I have a feeling this is the closest I'm getting. I picked Barefoot in Barcelona (top set, top left) for my teeny tiny finger nails, since it is a subtle and yet still pretty pink beige. For my toes I grabed Conquistadorable Color (bottom set, second from right), a hot ruby red that makes me happy everytime I look down. And really, isn't that the point of a pedicure?

Sephora by OPI... Not just nail polish!

Not only does OPI's new line for Sephora have a great selection of nail polish colors, they have some awesome nail care items. I've had a chance to try a few already:

Daily Hand Moisturizer: This is a great hand cream to keep in your purse. It absorbs quickly and softens up your rough hands and cuticles in between manicures. I love the scent too, very floral and pretty. The website says it smells like fresh cut wildflowers but I smell tons of gardenia to be specific. The 1.7oz is perfect for travel and everyday use and its only $5!




Brush On Cuticle Oil: This little tube is a great way to keep your cuticles in top shapes, even if you don't get manicures often. I would recommend keeping it on your bedside table, along with your favorites bedtime lip balm, and apply it every night before sleep. Rub it in, pushing your cuticles back and you'll never even be tempted to have the manicurist trim your cuticles (a BIG no-no). For $9 its worth trying!

Cutical Care In A Pen

Among other things I picked up on my Sephora haul the other day, I got a fabulous new toy to keep in my purse at all times. I have noticed my cuticles getting really dry and gross this past winter. I even committed the cardinal sin of getting them trimmed during my last manicure. Girls, never do that! Its terrible for them! All you need to do is moisturize them regularly and push them back with a wooden cuticle tool.

So now in my purse, along with multiple lip glosses and my compact powder, I carry Sephora's Cuticle Care Pen. It is the handiest way to keep your cuticles soft, without a lot of muss and fuss. It has a slight smell of tea tree oil which has tons of benefits. Go pick one up today and you'll never want to be without it!

Care Lovely!
