UPDATE: Thanks very much to OPI for sending us a HQ,untagged version of Gwen’s STUNNING promo photo,as well as the complete press release for the collaboration!! OPI’s executive vice president and artistic director,Suzi Weiss-Fischmann,says of Gwen: “With her expertise as a singer, songwriter and designer, who better to collaborate with than Gwen Stefani? Known for her trademark red lips, bold eye makeup and nail art, Gwen uses beauty to accessorize her style”. We couldn’t agree more! More details:
Gwen’s signature red OPI hue – Over & Over A-Gwen – is available in a boxed set, which includes Swarovski black crystals and silver, gold and pewter studs in bar, square, diamond and circle shapes for creating unique nail designs, as well as nail glue for easy application.
Love.Angel.Music.Baby. and 4 in the Morning feature a new, semi-matte satin finish designed to be worn without top coat. Push and Shove, a bold chrome hue, is also worn without top coat but requires a special complimentary base coat – Lay Down that Base. One thin coat of Lay Down that Base topped with two thin coats of Push and Shove yields an intense, mirrored finish. The collection is rounded out with two glossy crème lacquers and one sparkly glitter shade: Hey Baby, I Sing in Color, and In True Stefani Fashion.
Gwen Stefani by OPI nail lacquers contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application. This promotion will be available beginning January 2014 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer. The boxed set including Over & Over A-Gwen and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS will retail for $14.95 ($18.95 CAN).
As promised,OPI has officially announced its fabulous nail lacquer collaboration with Gwen,which will launch in January 2014! The collection includes a set of 7 limited edition nail lacquers, featuring standout color in breakthrough finishes. Highlights from this collection include a bold red lacquer that pays homage to Gwen’s signature rouge pout, a new semi-matte satin finish in both gold and black, and a mirrored chrome paired with a special base coat. According to the press release, OPI’s executive vice president and artistic director,Suzi Weiss-Fischmann,was inspired by this year’s Met Gala (which Gwen attended) to create a collection of lacquer celebrating the role of music as a major influence in fashion. With Gwen’s expertise as a singer, songwriter and fashion designer, she instantly became Suzi’s muse. We again congratulate Gwen on her latest amazing collaboration-we cannot wait for the launch!!!
We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with music and fashion icon Gwen Stefani!! We worked with Gwen to create a set of 7 limited edition nail lacquers for 2014, featuring standout color in breakthrough finishes. Highlights from this collection include a bold red lacquer that pays homage to the punk princess’s signature rouge pout, a new semi-matte satin finish in both gold and black, and a mirrored chrome paired with a special base coat.
Inspired by the this year’s Met Gala theme “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” Suzi Weiss-Fischmann (our EVP & Artistic Director, a.k.a. The First Lady of Nails) decided to create a collection of lacquer celebrating the role of music as a major influence in fashion. With Gwen’s expertise as a singer, songwriter and fashion designer, she instantly became Suzi’s muse.
Gwen’s signature red OPI hue – Over & Over A-Gwen – is available in a boxed set including Swarovski Elements studs & crystals as well as a nail design look book that will help you recreate some of the manis from Gwen’s OPI photo shoot! Love.Angel.Music.Baby. and 4 in the Morning feature a new, semi-matte satin finish designed to be worn without top coat. Push and Shove, a bold chrome hue, is also worn without top coat but requires a special complimentary base coat – Lay Down that Base. One thin coat of Lay Down that Base topped with two thin coats of Push and Shove yields an intense mirrored finish. The collection is rounded out with two glossy crème lacquers and one sparkly glitter shade: Hey Baby, I Sing in Color, and In True Stefani Fashion.
We wanted to create a collection as dramatic, diverse and glamorous as Gwen. With crème and glitter hues, new satin matte texture, a mirrored chrome and SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, the limited edition set presents the latest in pigments and finishes, while combining elements of haute couture and street fashion.
