OPI just sent this out today. I know Fall/Winter 2011 is ridiculously far away, but I ALWAYS love fall collections more than summer. I guess I'm just a vampy nail type of girl. I am SOOOO excited for this collection. I'm actually happy to have this info this far ahead, so I can make sure I get all the colors I want. I think it's really cool to have melon and coral shades in a fall collection too. Something different! I Eat Mainely Lobster= WANT.
I also think maybe OPI listened at least a little about how bad the names were getting. Some of these are kind of cute, like Are We There Yet? (who didn't say that in the car as a kid???) and Road House Blues. Also, THERE IS ONLY ONE RED IN THIS COLLECTION!!! That is impressive and I'm pretty happy about that. On to the info:
"OPI Launches Touring America Collection for Fall/Winter 2011
OPI hits the open road with a new take on classic style in the Touring America Collection for Fall/Winter 2011. Inspired by Americana and cities with rich cultural heritage, the collection’s twelve shades offer comfortable glamour and wearable elegance for nails and toes.
“My recent road trip across the country sparked the creation of the Touring America Collection,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Autumn is a time for reinvention, and these shades revive classic, iconic colors for fall, from cool heather, khaki and chocolate to warm rose, peach and red.”
The season’s go-to shades of taupe and pearl grey appear in variations from dark to light – A-taupe the Space Needle, Get in the Expresso Lane, French Quarter for Your Thoughts, and Suzi Takes the Wheel. Lush urban neutrals in deep sapphire (Road House Blues), rich raisin (Honk If You Love OPI), chic olive (Uh-oh Roll Down the Window), and coffee brown (I Brake for Manicures) merge with iconic red (Color to Diner For), vivid rose (My Address is “Hollywood”), and luminous coral and orange (I Eat Mainely Lobster, Are We There Yet?) for an expansive color landscape.
“This collection will take women around the world on the ultimate tour across the USA, with stops in Baltimore, Clarksdale, Hollywood, Jackson Hole, Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, St. Louis, and Tucson,” explains Suzi. “Together, the locales that inspired Touring America make up a rich palette of color complementing trends from the runway, where we saw a mix of feminine details and dramatic menswear touches.”
Touring America includes the following shades:
Are We There Yet? Don’t make me reach back there and take that perfect melon shade!
I Eat Mainely Lobster We “clawed” through crowds to catch this coral for you.
My Address is "Hollywood" We put this pretty rose-pink on the map.
Color to Diner For I’ll take the rosy-red with a side of “awesome.”
Honk if You Love OPI Don’t let this gorgeous dark grape pass you by.
Road House Blues In this case…R&B stands for “Really Blue.”
Suzi Takes the Wheel Buckle up—she’s not stopping until she gets to gray!
French Quarter for Your Thoughts Want beads? Then show us your sexy gray nails!
Uh-oh Roll Down the Window You’re gonna wanna pull over for this “unexpected” olive green.
A-taupe the Space Needle You’ll climb to new heights with this creamy-rich taupe.
Get in the Expresso Lane An amped-up dark brown that’ll never letcha down!
I Brake for Manicures This gorgeous eggplant-plum has our full attention."
So what do you think? Are you crazy pumped like I am? Should I wait and just ask you this question in 5 months when fall is closer?
