Hello Kitty® is a true pop icon if I’ve ever seen one. There are as many adult fans as there are child fans, making her the perfect muse for OPI’s latest collection. The Hello Kitty by OPI Collection celebrates all things happy, cute, colorful and sweet with 12 limited-edition nail lacquers and matching GelColor shades.
“Hello Kitty generates happiness in a way that really resonates here at OPI, because we are seeking to do the same thing with color as our medium,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Brand Ambassador. “We wanted to infuse this collection with all the charm and playfulness of its namesake,” adds Weiss-Fischmann, “Together with their names, these lacquers capture Hello Kitty’s world to perfection, and of course, many of the colors also echo runway trends we’ve seen for 2016. Think delicious pinks, punchy primaries, pearly white and licorice black.”
There are many really great shades in this collection, and I know some will become favorites. I can be picky sometimes about liking particular shades of pink and this collection really nails it. There is also a black shade that is excellent quality and a new favorite blue for my collection.
