Mariah Carey and O.P.I: The holiday nail collection

The queen of glitter has partnered up with the ultimate nail polish company to create a perfectly festive collection of shimmering paint to make your fingers suitably stylish for the coming Christmas season.

World-class diva Mariah Carey is known for many things: her stunning vocal range, her demanding diva behaviour, her love for all things glamorous and, of course, that Christmas song. So, who better to create a range of festive nail lacquers for us all to fall in love than the songstress herself?

Teaming up with Californian nail company O.P.I, Mariah Carey has designed 18 delightfully Christmassy pots of colour that will have you feeling jolly and festive in no time. Famed for working with celebrities and being inspired by popular culture, O.P.I clearly understands how much everybody adores Mariah Carey’s iconic Christmas album, and her classic songs remind us all of the season (and the reason) to be jolly.

The 18-piece set is a visually stunning collection of reds, metallics, shimmers and sparkles. Stand out shades include In My Santa Suit, a metallic berry; Visions of Love, which is a dark seductive burgundy; I Snow You Love Me, a scattered silver sparkle that looks just like tiny holographic snowflakes; as well as All Sparkly and Gold, which is exactly what it says on the label – a party ready gold.

There are also six “Liquid Sand” varnishes in a sparkling cobalt blue, off-black, gunmetal silver, pearly peach, shimmery champagne and frosty silver. These six bottles are created with the latest technology so that a topcoat isn’t required. They also have a textured, matte finish to offer an edgy style that differentiates itself from normal nail polishes.

O.P.I consistently makes top-notch nail varnishes with long-lasting colour, shine and sparkle so this selection of jolly shades should follow in the same path.

Available next month for around £6, Mariah Carey’s enchanting O.P.I polishes will be online for all to buy, either as a cheeky Christmas treat to yourself, a little stocking filler or even as a Secret Santa gift for that glamour-puss colleague.
