Mariah Carey by OPI #Giveaway

January 16, 2013 By Lena

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Do not adjust your computer monitors – it’s officially OPI and Nicole by OPI Week at Listen to Lena! I’ve teamed up with the world-famous Nail Polish empires to kick off 2013 with a BANG – by giving away FIVE entire collections. So you guessed it – there’s ANOTHER OPI giveaway up for grabs!

Today, feast your eyes on eight (8) limited edition shades hand selected by multiple Grammy Award winning recording artist Mariah Carey. These shades include four new OPI Liquid Sand lacquers featuring groundbreaking technology for a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle.

What is Liquid Sand?

OPI Liquid Sand nail lacquer offers a never-before-seen look with a pebbled finish that lightly shimmers with fine glitter particles. Always worn without top coat, Liquid Sand lacquer gives nails a unique textured matte finish worthy of a superstar.

(Or perhaps worthy of a diva. As I type, Mariah’s stint on American Idol is playing in the background. Love the alpha female tension with Nicki Minaj!)

Mariah Carey by OPI includes the following shades:

A Butterfly Moment – This sophisticated and frosty tan nude has us all a-flutter
Sprung – Fall hopelessly in love with this shimmery copper
Pink Yet Lavender – This pink glitter with lavender shimmer has superstar shine!
Anti-bleak – This deep, creamy purple will lift your spirits
Stay the Night – Make it last in this matte black with red glints
Get Your Number – Wearing this matte blue with sparkles is a great call
Can’t Let Go – Hold onto this matte purple with dazzling sparkle
The Impossible – This matte fuchsia with star confetti will never give up

I’ll admit that I didn’t request samples for this collection because frankly, the words “textured” and “matte” terrifies me. I am very much a “shiny” and “sparkly” kind of gal! Reviews for the OPI Liquid Sand shades have been mostly positive, though – with many polish experts citing a wearable texture that is both unique and interesting on the nails. I’ll have to take their word for it!

(For in depth swatches of the entire Mariah Carey collection head over to Beautezine, my favourite way to spend 10 minutes looking at shiny, pretty things.)

Mariah Carey by OPI nail lacquers contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide Brush for the ultimate in application. The collection will be available beginning January 2013 at Professional Salons and Spas for $10.95 CAD. Click here to visit OPI.

WIN IT!!!

One lucky Listen to Lena reader will win the ENTIRE Mariah Carey collection valued at $88! To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries. Good luck!

    I have heard of the liquid sand and matte nail polishes. I’m not sure how I feel about them though. I like the look of them with a top coat, but that kind of defeats the purpose of them. I love shiny finishes, & love glitter!

  119. Lisa H

    January 17, 2013 at 4:20 pm

    I love sparkly polish best but use various types. I have seen the liquid sand – it’s interesting! I have the Julep matt top coat that mats any polish and thats cool too!

    Hadn’t heard of the technology.
    Wear all types but gravitate to shiny or sparkly. Matte seems to require a more steady hand. Less forgiving application and chips seem more obvious.

    Hello, Lena. These colours are too dark for me. I learned that the Mariah Carey by OPI nail lacquers contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide Brush for the ultimate in application. These are scary ingredients that I will keep my eye out for in the future.

    I have heard of OPI’s Liquid Sand, but I haven’t tried it. I’m undecided on its look.

    I love shiny nail polish, but matte also works in the right shades.

    This is the first I have heard about liquid sand technology. I like the matte and my daughter loves the shiny and sparkly ones.

    I’ve heard of the liquid sand, but not much. I’d be interested in giving it a try. That said, I prefer shiny nail polishes. Not necessarily ones with sparkles, but I fee like matte is too dull.

    I’m still on the fence about the whole liquid sand idea. It looks neat, but I’m not sure what I think about the texture…
