There’s no such thing as too much bling with Shine Bright by OPI, a new limited edition holiday collection with Swarovski crystals.


There’s no such thing as too much bling with Shine Bright by OPI, a new limited edition holiday collection with Swarovski crystals. Featuring 15 shades, including three special glitter hues, Shine Bright captures the festive magic of the season with hues that shimmer and sparkle.
Beautifully rich velvety tones of pink, mauve, burgundy, and golden brown offer a luxurious, feminine feel, while mixed metals in silver and gold add delicate sparkle. Gemstone shades of garnet and ruby make a bold statement, and sensual, shimmering colors of champagne, deep blue, and black add instant sophisticated glam.
The collection also features three special glitters, each packed with glass-like glitter particles for a three-dimensional look, including a clear base with iridescent glitter, an icy blue jelly base with cellophane glitter, and a dark gray jelly base with cellophane glitter.
“When it comes to the holidays and beauty, nothing is ‘too much," remarks OPI Co-Founder and Brand Ambassador Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. “Shine Bright brings together jewel tones, mixed metals, velvety hues, and icy shades for a collection that’s bold and sophisticated. The crystal glam look is so popular in color cosmetics this season, and it’s easy to embrace the trend with nails that make a major statement.”
“We’ve collaborated with Swarovski to bring to life the holidays’ twinkling lights,” adds Bartoshevich. “From special packaging to marketing, Swarovski crystals are woven into this collection, adding genuine sparkle. Consumers can go to their local salon and get crystal embellishments in various shapes and cuts added to their manicure, for nail art that shines – literally!”
All 15 of the Shine Bright Collection shades will be available in GelColor, Infinite Shine, and Nail Lacquer formulas, including:
