NOPI: Modern Family Collection- press release

Consumer Products Announce Collaboration with Hit ABC Comedy Modern Family

Nicole by OPI, in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products, launches 14 new nail lacquers inspired by ABC’s award-winning comedy, Modern Family.  The nail line features shades created to capture the show’s colorful personalities, from a classic taupe named after family patriarch Jay, to a sparkly pink hue fitting for toddler Lily.

 “Modern Family is not only one of the funniest shows on television, it features a great ensemble cast of rich characters that inspired a range of shades, from pastel hues like sea foam green and periwinkle to brighter colors of cobalt and red-violet,” remarks Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “From studious Alex to bombshell Gloria, to classic (and neurotic) Claire, to flirty Haley, there are shades to represent each of these uniquely fabulous women – and everyone else in the blended family.

Jeffrey Godsick, President of Fox Consumer Products added, “Modern Family is a series that has a massive following.  In partnering with Nicole by OPI, we’re not only able to reach our show’s large fan base, but deliver a product that captures the trend-forward elements and unique characteristics of the series.

 “The Nicole consumer embraces the same spirit of diversity and individuality that’s apparent on the show,” explains Weiss-Fischmann. “The colors inspired byModern Family offer a perfect way to express that 

spirit!”

Review: Julep One-Step Polish Remover Pads

Two days ago I received my November Mace box. This month it came with 3 remover pads, a  matte top coat, Nora, and Hallie. I will have swatches later in the week but I though I would start with the polish remover first.

One-Step Polish Remover Pad

I opened the envelope, reached in to pull out the pad, and it took some of my polish of already.

After using the pad on all ten nails. Please excuse how gross my nails look :P


Overall this product worked well but you have to work quickly because the minute the pad makes contact with the air it starts to dry out. I used this on nail that had glitter and it took off easily. I don't know if I would purchase this myself but it was nice to try it. I found that it didn't dry out my skin as much as traditional remover which is always a perk.

China Glaze Haul

Oreo

Hey girls and guys! The reason I haven't posted in a while was because school had started again and then my pet guinea pig, Oreo, died. I know a guinea pig doesn't sound like a big deal but Oreo was like a dog to me. He would follow me around the house and I would say his name or walk by his cage and he would start chirping as if he knew what I was saying. He was a little over four years old when he passed. Guinea pigs live up to 5 years so he lived a long and happy life. So enough of the sob story and lets get to the haul.
