Inspired by natural beauty and bohemian vibes, the 12 shades in OPI’s autumn/winter 2018 collection comprise flirty purples, deep burgundies and rosy hues – available in lacquer, Infinite Shine and GelColor formulas.
The Peru collection was inspired by the likes of Machu Picchu’s Incan ruins and the country’s architecture, food and fashion.
“Peru is undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous places in the world. The country is rich in culture and beauty and the food scene is booming.”
– OPI co-founder and brand ambassador, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann.
“The fashion scene is equally exciting, highlighting stunning textiles, artisan techniques and fine detailing.”
Peruvian fashion model, Juana Burga, joined OPI in travelling the country and is the face of the new collection.
“With Juana, we met with artisans from the Peruvian highlands, where we learned so much about the country’s iconic handmade, sustainable fashion and textiles created using techniques that have been passed down for hundreds of years,” Suzi continues. “These women and their craft inspired many of the collection’s colours.
“In exchange, we shared with them our own love of colour through nail lacquer.
“Colour is truly a universal language, serving as a visual cue that connects us with our environment and emotions.”
“As simple as it is, sharing a laugh over manicures, picking out favourite colours and showing off our perfectly polished nails was an empowering experience that connected us across cultures.”
