Hawaii Collection by OPI brings fresh, bright colors of its namesake islands to nails and toes for Spring/Summer 2015. The new collection features a palette ranging from muted tones of mint, peach, pink and nude to bolder hues of coral, green, purple and gold to deep tones of mauve, violet, brick-red and shimmery blue.
After the long months of winter, women are eager to embrace color–from soft pastels to bold accents to gleaming metallics, explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder and Brand Ambassador. Caught in a perpetual state of spring, the Hawaiian islands were the ideal inspiration for this year’s seasonal collection. OPI looked toward the surf, sand and sunsets found at Hawaii’s beautiful beaches, as well as the islands’ lush greenery, tropical flowers and colorful fish to create 12 new nail shades.
Printed, flowing fabrics dominated the spring runways, with patterns and graphics in both bold and muted hues. Warm, ethereal, neutrals in shades of rose, peach and mint added a soft feminine note, continues Weiss-Fischmann. “That’s Hula-rious!,” a pastel mint green from the Hawaii Collection, was seen at Charlotte Ronson’s Spring/Summer 2015 New York Fashion Week show; this shade used to create a cutout half moon manicure that complemented the designer’s youthful presentation.
