Don't Mess With Texas...... the OPI collection

 {I happened to have a Don't Mess with Texas shirt laying around that a friend bought me}

OPI has come out with collections such as France, Hong Kong, Swiss...etc. Well OPI has come "home" to the USA and has created a timeless Texas Collection. The colors are iconic to images of an American summer.

From the company that brought revolutionary nail textures such as suede, matte and Black Shatter OPI has come out with a new special finish which has a semi-transparent sorbet style. This revolutionary Sorbet Style is featured first in the Texas Collection by OPI which is their Spring/Summer 2011 line. The colors are the perfect lacquers to give fingers and toes a lightly glossed appearance.

The Sorbet lacquers were hard to take a picture of because of their glossed appearance. Below you'll find a color wheel that features all of the sorbet shades. This is exactly how they appear. So when picking out a color go by my wheel more than my nail swatches.
