It’s a big week for The Biebs. Tomorrow is the launch of his book, “Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever.” And today it was the announcement of the launch of his upcoming nail polish line for Nicole by OPI. Yes, we repeat: nail polish.
Now we have been reading a lot of Bieber-bashing articles today with much snickering about said nail polish line. But we have a cup-half-full philosophy over here at Fashion Trends Daily. And we are so thrilled that The Biebs is not launching another celebrity clothing line — well, at least for the moment — that we could just scream and cry and faint and throw a pre-teen, badded bra at him.
Open your eyes — and your hearts — people! We think that the 16-year-old pop star’s new One Less Lonely Girl nail line could very well inspire a modernization of the old color theory once popular among personal shoppers and “image consultants” alike. No more categorizing people into overly simplistic notions of being a “fall” or “winter” or “summer” and needing to wear those corresponding hues. It’s much deeper than that. Bieber’s line of six sparkly, metallic colors speaks to the emotion behind color: Think One Less Lonely Glitter (lavendar) with a touch of Prized Possession Purple (grape). Or maybe it’s a Me + Blue (dark blue) kind of day.
The nail polishes will debut exclusively at Walmart in December with eight more Bieber-inspired shades slated for a January launch. The collection will be available at select Target, Sears, Ulta and other retailers in February.
Now, we would like to see Bieber’s collaboration and raise him one: Since Serena Williams told Vogue in August that she was working toward completing her certification to become a nail technician, we think this is the perfect opportunity for Kandse (the alias Serena uses as a manicurist) and The Biebs to make manicure magic together. OMB! Now that’s love-luv for you!
