OPI on the Set of How I Met Your Mother

The chic and trendy shades of OPI can now be seen on CBS' How I Met Your Mother!  With OPI’s 200+ shades, the show’s key makeup artist Jennifer Turchi declares, “we will have just the right color for any look.”

Alyson Hannigan, who plays Lily Aldrin, especially loves the shade Ski Teal We Drop from the latest Fall/Winter Swiss collection, as well as the classic color Siberian Nights.

I am obsessed with Ski Teal We Drop, a blue-based teal with grey undertones. I don't know when I got on this blue nail kick, but I think it started sometime last spring. Some people immediately think OMFG blue nails? But the right blue - a la Ski Teal We Drop - looks chic, fashion-forward and is just more fun than the usual deep plums/wines/chocolates that we see every fall and winter. Word to the wise though; keep nails short and square when wearing this shade.

Steal Drew's Beachy Blonde with Redken

Anyone check out the October issue of Harper's Bazaar with Drew Barrymore on the cover? I am totally loving the rich, dimensional, slightly rooty blonde shade the former wild child is sporting. 

Reminds me of when Carrie Bradshaw made roots popular back in the SATC days. Redken Creative Consultant for Color Tracey Cunningham created the beautiful shade - check out what she used below so you can have a chat with your colorist to recreate.
 

To achieve this color, Tracey applied Redken Color Fusion 7N at the roots and highlighted with Redken Blonde Icing Ammonia Free Conditioning Cream Lightener. She then followed with a Redken Shades EQ Conditioning Color Gloss to give it a natural, beachy look.

RIP Snooki's Pouf

The resident pint-sized pouffed Jersey Shore guidette ditched her trademark pouf and debuted a sleek straight style with bangs at the MTV VMA Awards and I'm a total fan.

I think the bangs really work on her - they slim her face and give her a chic, up to date look. That spray tan and lipstick is a different story, but baby steps I guess. What do you think of Snooki's new look?
