OPI Texas collection for Spring '11!

[Caderas]

I haven't seen anything about this here on Specktra, so I thought I'd pass the word for nail polish junkies everywhere! I was reading up on Lushious Beauty's blog today and came across her recent post on OPI's Texas collection for Spring!

Here are the color descriptions:

• Don’t Mess With OPI - A lean, mean, kick-grass forest green
• Austin-Tatious Turquoise – Cowgirls love this bodacious blue-green
• It’s Totally Fort-Worth It – A shimmery lavender grey that’s so worthy of you
• Do You Think I’m Tex-y? A “berry” sexy bloom of Dallas dahlia
• Big Hair…Big Nails – A rosy pageant peach
• I Vant To Be A-Lone Star – You won’t want to share this starry Texas-sky blue
• Houston We Have A Purple – A galactic red-violet that’s ready to “rocket-roll”!
• Suzi Loves Cowboys – But she loves this campfire chocolate shade s’more!
• They are so-Tonio - The "Honey" of a Gallon has so!
• Too Hot Pink To Hold ‘Em – A red-hot pink-red that deals a winning hand
• Guy Meets Gal-veston – An “engaging” coastal coral. A very orange pink
• Y’all Come Back Ya Hear? – This Texas tangerine will be waitin’ for ya!

Seems like OPI's trying to have the last word on country collections with China Glaze, *cough* Rodeo Diva collection. What do you guys think?

• Big Hair, Big Nails
• They Are So-Tonio
• It’s Totally Fort-Worth It

Hmm these look a little bleh to me. The green looks like a maybe... I can rarely refuse a green polish.

They also all look a little bleh and not unique to me... but the bottle is always deceiving. I'll wait for the swatches. I'm kinda sad they don't have like a burnt orange for UT. I can't help but think of Texas without thinking of Austin and UT as part of Austin. It would have been such a definitive color.

I very much like Too Hot Pink To Hold ‘Em and Guy Meets Gal-veston, but the rest don't really excite me. Having said that the two I do like aren't exactly out of this world!

My list:
Guy Meets Gal-veston
It's Totally Fort Worth It
San Tan-Tonio

the names are cute however none of the colours are calling out to me... yet! thanks for the info!

great find!

 

[dxgirly]

hm. Skip I think. Maybe the green if anything

 

[Caderas]

Yeah, I was also kind of surprised not to see a UT orange in there somewhere! But, I guess that could be seen as OPI playing favors and it could "make them lose sales" type thing! I hope the Austin-tacious Turquoise will be something special enough to buy since my boy is from Austin!

I'm guessing they made it something different from the collection with all the sparkles since Austin is known for it's variety of people, haha.

Texas pride grabs hold of me

You do realize that OPI would have to get permission (as well as share profits) in order to name a polish after a college/football team?

ITRA about the burnt orange! And Crimson for A&M... but I like Houston we have a Purple, since I live here.

Do You Think I’m Tex-y?
Houston We Have A Purple

I don't know what to make of the Texas theme, I don't have any ties to it. But three polishes are at least calling my name.

• Guy Meets Gal-veston
• San Tan-Tonio
• It's Totally Forth Worth-It

I'm looking forward to nail swatches.

he is so cute!! -->

 

[ruthless]

This looks completely meh to me, will have to see in depth swatches but so far all pass

 

[kaliraksha]

Oh yeah, of course. However plenty of merchants obviously use the college inspired color and all I really want is the color and their own play on words for a cute name. Ah well, maybe next time.

Thanks for sharing!!

 

[nychick1384]

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I guess I'll just have to wait and see some swatches when the time is closer.

 

[Curly1908]

I just realized that you and I have the exact same list!
