Two New OPI Designer Series Shades

In July I was lucky enough to win a giveaway prize from a new online retailer, Color4Nails.

Here is a pic of the prize I won- I could not believe how lucky I was!

L to R: OPI Matte Top Coat, OPI DS Pewter, OPI DS Lapis, a mini OPI Avojuice lotion, OPI Alcatraz... Rocks, and a mini hand sanitizer. 

Alcatraz... Rocks is a Liquid Sand shade from the Fall 2013 San Francisco collection, and DS Pewter and DS Lapis are also new releases for fall. I cannot wait to try them! We just got back from a week-long vacay, and school starts tomorrow... so hopefully in a few days I will have some free time.

Here is some press release info on the new DS shades:


         This fall, OPI adds DS Raw Granite, two new granite-inspired hues – DS Pewter and DS Lapis – to the Designer Series by OPI collection. Featuring a matte textured finish with mineral-like reflections, each Designer Series Raw Granite lacquer formula offers subtle sheen with a sparkle finish.

DS Pewter, a matte textured metallic with deep silver ore, will launch simultaneously with DS Lapis, a deep sapphire blue with a textured matte finish. Designer Series by OPI offers a mosaic of 11 glistening shades and a high-shine top coat, including these two new stunning hues. DS Pewter and DS Lapis can be used without DS Top Coat to achieve an alternate matte look.

“Diamond-dust gives nails the perfect touch of glamour and can instantly transform any look. These two new shades are inspired by raw granite – the diamond’s edgy cousin – and we’re excited to broaden the range of color in the Designer Series line,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “These lacquers incorporate rich pigments with brilliant shine, to create a bold yet elegant statement. DS Pewter and DS Lapis are the ideal high-fashion, festive accessory.”

Designer Series by OPI nail lacquer shades each feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application. DS Raw Granite lacquers should be worn without top coat for a matte finish. DS Pewter and DS Lapis will be available beginning September 2013 at professional salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, jcp Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, ULTA and ulta.com for $12.50 ($14.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer.

NOTD: a england Briarwood

a england Briarwood
2 coats

Briarwood is the last shade for me to swatch in this collection. I've got to say that I'm not sure I've loved an entire collection as much as I have loved Burne-Jones Dream.

Briarwood was almost opaque in one coat, but I went ahead and did two just to make sure I had perfect coverage for my pic. I think the holo in this one is so pretty.

NOTD: a england Fated Prince

2 coats

Description from a england: "The tempered steel of a hero's blade" - a mysterious grey base hue with deep olive undertones, throwing off valiant prismatic flashes to herald the arrival of a certain destiny

Here is the fourth shade from this collection that I have tried, and I love this one too! I think the holo in this one is the strongest so far. 

Although the first three shades I tried in this collection were almost opaque in one coat, Fated Prince definitely needs two coats. One coat is a bit streaky because this shade is a bit runnier. But a second coat makes it perfect, and look at that holo!

NOTD: a england Briar Rose

2 coats
Description from a england: a cranberry/scarlet base hue bearing a slight milky sheen and a gently ladylike prismatic demeanor, evidence of a still-beating heart.

This is the third shade from this collection that I have tried, and I love this one too! Basically, knowing that I will love the other two shades, I have to say that Adina really created something special with this collection.
