OPI Supports Breast Cancer Awareness with it's Eighth Annual

Earlier this month OPI released it's eighth annual "Pink of Hearts" promotion to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

"This duo pack is designed to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer. In 2014, OPI will donate $25,000 to Susan G. Komen® in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October). OPI will also donate $5,000 to Rethink Breast Cancer in Canada."

OPI "Mod About You" and "The Power of Pink"

Out of all of the OPI Breast Cancer colors, this is my favorite!  You all know that I am NOT a "pink fan", but this combo really speaks to me.

For the manicure I applied 2 coats of the glitter to my index, middle and pinkie finger, topped with 1 coat of top coat.  For the ring finger I applied 2 coats of the creme and topped it with a matte top coat.

 On the thumb I applied 2 coats of the creme, and then 1 coat of the glitter, topped with 1 coat of top coat.

The creme "Mod About You", is a classic light pink creme. This is a re-release, but the formula has been improved and this was very easy to apply, and was perfectly opaque in 2 coats. 

The glitter "The Power of Pink",  is a a milky pink tinted base with white and bright pink hex glitters, and pink micro-glitters. AMAZING! This is amazing by itself in 2 coats. I did 2 thick coats for my swatch, but if I were to wear it again, I would apply 3 thin coats, making sure it dried without bubbles :)

The duo came with a cute little nail file, that has different pink glitters on each side. I'll keep mine in my gym bag :)

Mod About You and The Power of Pink feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide™ Brush for the ultimate in application. Pink of Hearts 2014 will be available September and October 2014 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, beautybrands.com, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, ULTA and ulta.com for $16.95 ($21.50 CAN) suggested retail.

October is Breast Cancer Month!

This is OPI's 7th annual , limited edition, breast cancer promotion.  Can you believe it has been 7 years?  :)

OPI "Pink of Hearts" 2013 Breast Cancer Collection.  This pack is designed to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support.

OPI
"Pink-ing of You"
3 coats, no top coat

This is a classic pink creme, from their regular core line.  I'm not a "pink fan", so this shade is new to me :)  It went on well in two coats, but I had some bald spots so I had to do three coats.  Went on smoothly in the usual OPI way, no big issues. This is a very "easy pink" that can be worn by a variety of skin tones, it's universal! :)

I decided to top this manicure with the accompanying glitter polish "More Than A Glimmer" in a ruffian style, using the crystal included in the pack.

OPI
"More Than A Glimmer"
2 coats over "Pink-ing of You"

 






LOL!  This pattern definitely makes my nails look shorter. They look like ice cream cones, LOL!  

"More Than A Glimmer" is a pastel multi-colored matte glitter polish, in a very sheer pink base. I know the glitter is supposed to be worn on it's own, without top coat, but I think I would prefer top coat on this one.   The glitter was a bit thick on the second coat, but it wasn't hard to work with, plus you get so much glitter per layer, it's worth it :) GLITTER LOVE!

OPI Pink For The Cure 2012 Swatches and Review

Here's my Breast Cancer Manicure....

Pink Of Hearts 2012 includes two vibrant and lively pinks, a glitter, "You Glitter Be Good to Me" and a creme, "I Think in Pink".

When I wore mine I decided it needed some "OPI Company"...

I decided to let OPI "Black Onyx" and OPI "Alpine Snow" join on the fun! :) Here is my left hand...

Here is my right hand...

For the white nail (index finger) , I used 1 coat of "Alpine Snow" and 1 coat of OPI "You Glitter Be Good to Me". For the pink (middle finger) and black nail (pinkie) , I did the same.

"OPI announces the launch of its sixth annual limited edition Pink of Hearts promotion, featuring the classic pale pink shade I Think in Pinkand the new sparkle-packed hue You Glitter Be Good to Me. This duo pack is designed to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and support. In 2012, OPI will donate $25,000 in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) to Susan G. Komen for the Cure^®. OPI will also donate $5,000 to Rethink Breast Cancer in Canada."

For the ring finger I did 3 coats of OPI "You Glitter Be Good to Me" by itself. I repeated this on the pinkie on the right hand too :)

OPI "You Glitter Be Good to Me" is a glitter bomb with baby pink glitter paired with magenta larger glitter. It is perfect by itself  or on top of other colors.  :)

OPI "I Think in Pink" is a baby pink creme that applies smoothly with no issues and was opaque in 2 coats.

Both colors dried smoothly, and once they were topped with top coat, dried fast. :)

You all know I am not a "pink fan", but this set offered lots of fun options, and I really enjoyed wearing this manicure! The glitter is the best, and I will be wearing this again, over grey, blue, black, and maybe even green?? Wait and see! :)

"Pink of Hearts 2012 will be available September and October 2012 at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $14.95 ($20.95 CAN) suggested retail.
