Sephora by OPI Launches Urban Ballerina Collection

Black Swan Inspired Nail Polish Hits Sephora Stores Nationwide!


As the thrill of Black swan continues to live on (Check out Rodarte’s exhibit of Black Swan Costumes!), we can’t help but get psyched over the newest addition to the world of the demented ballerina. This addition, although not quite as demented as it is sweet, comes in the form of nail polish.

Last week Sephora by OPI launched its newest collection, titled Urban Ballerina. Although there is no direct affiliation with the now-famous Natalie Portman film, Black Swan, it’s not too difficult to guess where the inspiration came from. Here’s what Sephora has to say:

“Inspired by the eclectic style of an urban ballerina, these colors infuse a punk-rock edge with the typically soft, sweet (and pink) palette of classical ballet. The shades in the Urban Ballerina collection reflect the urban dancer's dynamic textures and colors, like shimmering pink satin and the steely gray of downtown buildings.”

The colors are available online in a pack of four. The featured colors are Leotard-Optional, The Way Tutu His Heart, Who's Spinning Tonight?, and Break a Leg-Warmer!

Best Winter-esque Nail Color

Even As The Winter Months Are Slowly Coming To An End, We Can't Shake The Desire To Hang On To The Beauty Of It!

As February is slowly but surely coming to an end, I'm beginning to miss wearing those gorgeous winter whites that have yet to be packed away until the end of next fall. It's a rather slow transition, as I no longer need my fluffy white NorthFace, but I'm not too quick to pack away my classic white knitted scarves. As our winter clothes fade out of existence (at least until November!), the key to keeping the winter look alive is in the small details of our daily look.

My solution lies in our nails- nail polish is a quick and easy way to accessorize, as our nails only take 15 minutes (at most!) to paint, and they stay perfect for up to 2 weeks! I've found the perfect color- Alpine Snow by OPI ($6). The shade is as wintery white as it gets, and it makes your nails stand out far more than you could imagine! This snowy shade is an OPI classic, and I certainly see why.
