Fergie's Blue Note

Fergie rocks her own kind of style -- sexy, tough, chic, unique.  (Did you catch her performance of Gimme Shelter with Mick Jagger at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame anniversary concert? She absolutely burned the place down. If you missed it, catch the concert's upcoming CD release.) And she flaunts that style on her nails, too. People magazine charted the star's beauty must-haves, and OPI Nail Lacquer in No Room for the Blues was #1 on her list.  "I really like this pop of blue," the so-hot singer confessed. We'll have what she's having.

Much O-Blige-d

In an interview in   magazine, Mary J. Blige lets us in on her faves,
including fashion designer (Catherine Malandrino), scent (her own signature scent called My Life), and beauty indulgence -- manis and pedis with OPI!  Some of the artist's top picks: Red My Fortune Cookie, Lincoln Park After Dark, and Hot & Spicy. Sounds sweet, Mary.

Spring Blooms on the Red Carpet

 
 This past weekend's SAG Awards brought out the prettiest Hollywood looks for an early bloom of spring.  Celebs including Christina Applegate, Kyra Sedgwick, and Helen Mirren wore the season's new soft and nude shades in gorgeous gowns of dove grey, ivory and taupe, icy blue, and silver -- each one alluringly filmy and feminine with transparent panels and beautiful draping.   Diane Kruger looked sweet and sultry in a golden topaz Jason Wu creation, with bright lips and a romantically braided 'do, while Carey Mulligan looked radiant in  raspberry Lanvin.  Drew Barrymore channeled Old Hollywood glam in a strapless, trumpet-skirted Monique Lhuillier design in sapphire, complete with blonde updo and pale lips.  Nails appeared in soft, elegant tones -- the perfect understated accessory to the red carpet's jewel-colored fashions.  Want to capture that red carpet look on your nails?  Look to OPI's Hong Kong Collection (releasing February 3).  Panda-monium Pink and Pearl of Wisdom are sweetly feminine and powerfully pretty!

Reba & Kelly & OPI

When actress and country music star Reba McEntire appeared on ABC’s Live with Regis & Kelly show earlier this month, she and co-host Kelly Ripa realized they had one very important thing in common.  The two women looked at each other’s hands and said simultaneously, “What color are you wearing?  Lincoln Park After Dark!”

What Matte-rs to Rachel

Actress Rachel Bilson (The OC, Jumper) is Lucky magazine's October cover girl and one of young Hollywood's style setters.  When it comes to her nails, Rachel loves Matte by OPI in You Don't Know Jacques! (a trendy taupe).  "I recently had this polish on for a shoot, and it's so much fun.  It goes on like normal but dries completely matte."  As a matte-r of fact, we agree.

Idol-izing OPI

American Idol star Adam Lambert finally admits all:  he's ga...ga gaga over OPI!  "I like OPI; they have these really cool dark colors," Adam tells OK magazine. Looks like Black Onyx is one of his faves.  

  And speaking of gaga, when Lady Gaga, with her powerhouse mix of glam rock, dance pop, and R&B, performed at the KIIS-FM Wango Tango concert in May, she also sang the praises of OPI’s Breathe Life  Nail Lacquer.  Created to support the Lung Cancer Foundation of America in its efforts to help find a cure, Breathe Life was given away to celebs at the concert’s Gifting Room.   For more info about the foundation, click here.

  

"Love" OPI

Tennis superstar Serena Williams plays beauty the same way she plays tennis -- with a passion.  In the April issue of Essence magazine,   Serena explains that she's into the Old Hollywood look, including "dark, vampy polish."  Her nail color of choice?  OPI Nail Lacquer in Chick Flick Cherry -- "it's the best red ever!"  Takes a champion to know a champion.

 

Taylor-ed to Perfection

Country music star Taylor Swift has a terrific sound -- and an equally terrific look.  Teen Vogue spoke to Taylor about her "star style,"

and discovered that one of her beauty essentials is OPI Nail Lacquer in the cult favorite Lincoln Park After Dark. Taylor thinks "the color is so edgy!" -- we think, "Right back at you!"
