“YOU DON’T NEED A SPECIAL OCCASION TO HAVE NAILS BE
YOUR BEST ACCESSORY!”
—SUZI WEISS-FISCHMANN
“I WAS INSPIRED BY VENICE’S CARNIVALE CELEBRATION. I EMULATED THE DRESSES AND
MASKS WORN DURING THE FESTIVITIES.” — TOMOKA DEI, OPI NAIL ARTIST

❤ THE INSPIRATION This season’s style is robust with opulent fabrics, exaggerated shapes and lots of brilliant accents.

This bold and elegant fall collection—available in both Nail Lacquer and GelColor—includes 12 shades that will become part of the permanent OPI color family, plus three limited edition selections!
