Get in the Mood for Great Nails with the Chicago Collection by OPI!

OPI, Hollywood’s favorite Nail Lacquer brand, is inviting all fashionistas, fashion enthusiasts and the trendy to jazz up their nails pretty with the introduction of its Chicago Collection for Fall/Winter 2005.  The Chicago Collection, is a collection for nails and lips that is filled with exciting and glamorous colors which capture the city’s sophistication and the season’s most important fashion and beauty trends.

Speaking at a media premiere of the new colors which featured celebrity models sashaying in Khoon Hooi couture, Ms. Joey Brown, International Spokesperson for OPI, said that make-up for Fall/Winter this year is influenced by the season’s catwalks proving that taupe-toned or a light winter tan is equally desirable and the colors can be anything but conventional.

“This season’s OPI color trends are fashionably expressed by four distinct influences namely the legendary leading lady, the country artist, the irresistible rebel and the circus sweetheart, giving today’s women a lush choice of palette and style,” explained Joey Brown.
 
“The Chicago Collection by OPI brings every look into sharp “Fall” focus and perfectly complements the season’s best fashions, including exquisitely fitted menswear-patterned suits, ruffled skirts in feminine fabrics with blazers or short cardigans tops, glamorous evening wear, gypsy-inspired skirts, decorative tops, and coats, coats and lots of coats!”
