I’m so excited to finally tell you about a project I did months ago with OPI! Each year they have two collections come out based on cities/places — this past spring was New Orleans, and this fall it is Washington DC! So they asked me and Nifesimi to model and help get the word out about the new collection — in addition to Kerry Washington. And no, I didn’t get to meet her (tear).
My good friends know that I’m obsessed with nails. They always have to be perfect. It’s all or nothing for me. One chip and it’s over. I have a huge nail polish collection and I get my nails done fairly regularly. I think that state of your nails can reflect the state of your life. So mine are either painted and perfect, or bare and taking a break. So this was a dream collaboration for me.
I wanted to share a few of the photos from the shoot with you and all of the Washington DC polish colors!
Do you have a favorite? My personal favorites are “Liv” in the Gray, Pale to the Chief, and CIA. But my favorite name is Yank My Doodle, because come on that is hilarious.

So exciting! Loving all of these hues, lady!
Gorgeous rings! Where are they from?
Silver one is from BaubleBar — http://bit.ly/2afiDhn
Gold one is Anna Beck — http://bit.ly/2aZQCYn
What’s the color in the top picture? Gorgeous!
CIA = Color Is Awesome!
Oops I’m sorry!! I meant the first picture below the text- the deep red!
It’s OPI by Popular Vote!
Love, Love, Love all the clever names…..Yank My Doodle makes me laugh! But Pale to the Chief would be my color 🙂
dead dead dying this is so so goooooood
{blushing emoji}
This might be the first OPI collection where I love every single color!
So good to hear!
Love them too! are the ones below OPI by Popular Vote also the same? Or are they more burgundy?
Yep all OPI by Popular Vote — they look a different in different lighting with different editing. I suggest looking at it in a salon or store just to make sure!
Great Fall collection! Your nails are gorgeous.
TYSM! I try to take really good care of them!
Way to represent! Love the CIA color and the one in the salad photo and White House photo. How fun for you and for us!
Yank my doodle! HA! I love.
I also love Pale to the Chief. I live in Arlington. When and where will these be available?
Great job BTW. What an honor for you and for DC!
They already are! You can find them in your local salon as soon as they get them in. Also at Macy’s and other retailers that carry OPI!
Beautiful photos, beautiful colors! Might need to snag a few of these for my collection. 🙂

My friend recently got her nails done with the reddish purple color (has a little bit of sparkle in it). Im thinking it is called “we the female” or “kerry blossom”, any way you could tell me which one it would be by the description?
Kerry Blossom is more plum/berry and we the female is more of a red.
Hi! I live in DC too and wanted to see what salon you go to up here to get your nails done? I still haven’t found one I love, and am in desperate need of a good one. Thank you!!
I do my own nails mostly, but in DC Nail Saloon on 14th and Varnish Lane in Friendship Heights are great places.
