O.P.I nails are storming NYC Fashion Week

You have to love OPI nail polish! With their never-ending colour palette, picture perfect finish and continually evolving technology, what else could you want? Not to mention those names!

Turns out we at the Bride to Be office aren't the only ones loving OPI, surprise, surprise! OPI strutted its stuff alongside some of the biggest designers this week at New York Fashion Week, including BCBG Max Azria, Herve Leger, Jason Wu and Rebecca Taylor. 

BCBG Max Azria opted for Samoan Sand, a gorgeous nude shade, perfectly complementing the complex and brightly patterned collection.

 Rich neutral shades were used at Rebecca Taylor, with the models wearing Stranger Tides on their fingers (a grey-green pastel) and Tickle My France-y, a creamy beige, on their toes.

 MonSooner or Later was shown at Jason Wu - a vibrant orange/red/watermelon shade which was extremely eye catching.

Finally, yesterday at the Herve Leger show, OPI provided another soft palette on the nails, selecting a pale nude with a hint of coral called Coney Island Cotton Candy.

Lisa Ho at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week

The most beautiful thing about Lisa Ho's Rosemount Australian Fashion Week show this morning was the vibrant colour palette. Inspired by Lisa's passion for the Italian island of Capri, cerulean blue, mustard, coral and fuchsia all appeared in a variety of expertly tailored pieces. Our pick is the long, blue, ultra-elegant Grecian style gown which would be ideal for bridesmaids - gorgeous! Keep your eyes glued to the pages of Bride to Be for more.
