Product Description
OPI La Collection de France...The French have a word for it - chic. A combination of style, elegance, and confidence, it is at the heart of fashion for FALL 2008. Filled with retro glamour, and touches of both uptown and down, the fall fashion runways featured simply beautiful clothing in a lush palette of color, complemented perfectly by the sophisticated, sensual shades of La Collection de France by OPI. The effortless style for which French women are known , a juxtaposition of elegance and ease ,is captured this fall in polished combinations of tweed and silk, chunky sweaters and delicate blouses, tailored pencil skirts and lingerie-inspired looks. Seasonless fabrics and layers signal a new fashion and climate, with an irresistible, intense selection of colors -saturated shades of purple-blue, peacock green, burgundy, ruby red, deep brown, and iconic black, accented with mustard yellow, burnt orange, and cobalt. Exquisite nails continue to be an integral part of fashion. Nothing completes a look more beautifully than nails wearing the season's most significant colors; changing a lacquer shade can change a woman's entire look , and her outlook. While couture fashion may be reserved for the Paris salons, couture color for nails is accessible to every woman , and luxuriant color is what this season's beauty is all about

Bastille My Heart; Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not; & Crepes Suzi-Ette for Me November 4, 2008
This collection has some interesting neutrals and deep colors. As I am drawn to reds (rather than grays, lilacs, oranges, browns, etc), I immediately headed for BASTILLE MY HEART. I've got it on my toes this second.
It's a very deep cool red color--deep dark claret, some call it. If you're familiar with the popular, classic Bogota Blackberry OPI shade, it's like that one, but without the shimmer/glimmer aspect. This is a creme formula--no shiny flecks or frost. Very nice. An elegant deep color that traditionalists can wear and that is faboo for fall.
If you're a purple enthusiast, Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not is a deep, bright, intense purple that should please you.
Crepes Suzi-ette is a more "mommie" color--wearable by regular folks not looking to stun with Goth or non-traditional shades. It's a warm reddish caramel color that would look lovely on women with fair to medium tones and some darker tones (though not all). A ladylike color with some flair.
I've heard raves about the very dark "Eiffel For This Color" and Goth Gals I know are nuts for "We'll Always Have Paris." If superdark-dense colors do it for you, you should check those out.
If you're quite fair of skin tone, you should look into Baguette Me Not, which is a very, very, very pretty salmon color. I'm too dark to carry it off, but I love how it looks on fairer gals. Elegant and serene.
Fairer gals should also take a seriously look at the "grey-tone" neutrals. While I'd look like a corpse in them, I've seen fair women looking insanely elegant in some of the France collection gray-neutrals-nudes.
Enjoy
Mir
