Bonjour, Big Easy!
From the filigree iron of its balconies, to the jazz and jambalaya that permeate its air, New Orleans personifies an easy-going, laid back attitude and grace mixed with gumption and joie de vivre. New Orleans' indomitable spirit is the inspiration for OPI’s 2016 Spring collection.
The New Orleans Collection by OPI features 12 gorgeous new nail shades that take nails and toes from Beignets at café Du Monde all the way to nightcaps on Bourbon street in style. Sweet, spicy, soulful and vibrant, the colour palette of the collection is perfect for a town where parades pop up everywhere, and dancing in the streets is de rigueur.
I have all 12 shades from the New Orleans collection to share with you today :)
