Girlie Thread Alert!! OPI's New "Greek Isle" Collection

Since all of us are either greek or greek-friendly, I wanted to post about OPI's new "Greek Isle" collection which is coming out at the beginning of February. The pictures are gorgeous, and I love the names! 12 new shades:

Aphrodite's Pink Nighty - a light pink frost
Calling all Goddesess - frosty white
Cream of Greek - a matte cream color
Dancing in the Isles- soft peach frost
Don't Socra-tease Me - a vivid orange shimmer
Greece Just Blew Me Away - a mediterranean blue shimmer
It's All Greek to Me - brilliant fuscia shimmer
Melon of Troy - apricot frost
Purple-opolis - vibrant violet shimmer
Redipus-oedipus - dramatic red shimmer
Ti-tan your Toga - a shy beige creme
To Eros is Human - reddish-pink shimmer

I can't decipher it as it seems to be a lot of nonsensical chatter. Its making me uneasy. I'm contacting the Department of Homeland Security.

"Don't Socra-tease me" is such a cute name!

They still have "Really I'm not a Waitress" at stores near me occasionally, but it is difficult to find lately.

I've always liked "Pompeii Purple" (which is really pink, go figure) as a fun summer toe color - it looks great with jeans or a cute sun dress, and nothing's better with flip flops by the pool!

Does anyone here like Essie polishes though? I think they are a better consistency and they have lots of cute, neutral colors that you can wear everyday - really sheer light pinks that give your finger nails that nice well-kept look without being tacky.

My favorite Essie color is "Scarlett O'Hara" - a pretty red/burgundy with a bit of sparkle.

No way! I've been buying it at Foxxy Nails...I got hooked on it last May when I got a pedicure and that was the color I had the lady put on my toenails. I'd better go raid the store next time I go to town...

I love "I'm not really a waitress"-- I can find it at Beauty Brands, although it is really hard to find.
"Pompeii Purple" is a great summer color!

OPI makes the best polish ever.

My nail salon uses OPI exclusively.

"Hollywood and Wine" is tops on my list.
