“OPI is extremely excited to partner again with EON Productions,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI co-founder & Artistic Director. “Following the success of the holiday promotion with the latest James Bond film, Skyfall, it’s been a thrill to create colors for the women who’ve captured Bond’s attention over the last five decades.

  • Solitaire This diamond-sparkling white is totally engaging.
  • Tiffany Case A classic light blue worth investigating.
  • Honey Ryder Take a ryde on the wild side in this shimmery gold.
  • Jinx This mesmerizing matte coral has lucky sparkle.
  • Pussy Galore This light feminine pink has the purrrfect amount of shimmer.
  • Vesper A mysterious and intriguing deep purple.

OPI Bond Girls

Normally I would give you my thoughts on each individual shade’s application and formula. Well, I don’t need to do that because this entire OPI Bond Girls Liquid Sand collection is AMAZING. Every single one applied flawlessly. All swatches above are two coats. I honestly didn’t think I was a fan of the whole liquid sand thing when if first came out but I am head over heels for every one of these polishes. The best part is that these polishes are two in one. If you aren’t that happy with the whole matte, textured effect, or you just feel like switching things up, then all you need to do is apply a glossy top coat and they are transformed into a more traditional looking polish. Some of the shades including Solitaire and Tiffany Case contain flecks of highly reflective glitter that really flash in the sun. I still find it a little difficult getting used to the textured feeling on my nails but I should be leaving my darn nails alone anyhow. I need to stop playing with them and I am not as apt to rub, play, and chew when they have such a funky feeling to them. Maybe if I keep wearing these babies for a while I can actually get them to grow!

Another bonus is that these are totally easy to remove. It really shocked me considering the amount of glitter and other “stuff” these polishes contain.

I highly recommend you check this collection out. They are so much more magical on the nails than the appearance in the bottle can ever demonstrate. Bond Girls by OPI nail lacquers feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide Brush for the ultimate in application. These six new shades will be available beginning May 2013 at Professional Salons and Spas for $10.95 CAN suggested retail for each nail lacquer.
