Tokyo is one of the top trendsetting cities in the world, so it should come as no surprise that OPI has selected the vibrant metropolis as its inspiration for the OPI Tokyo Spring 2019 Collection.
Inspired by the city’s balance of rich tradition and nature with fashion-forward style and ultra-modern cityscapes, this palette features a variety of colors that evoke the energy and creativity of Tokyo. The collection features 12 new shades in classic Nail Lacquer, Long-Wear Infinite Shine and GelColor formulas. With a nod to Tokyo’s status as a trendsetter, the collection includes a new take on millennial pink with dusty rose shades featuring tones of lavender and lilac (Rice Rice Baby, Another Ramen-tic Evening, Arigato from Tokyo, Hurry-juku Get this Color!).
Rich hues inspired by nature from matcha green tea to blooming gardens (How Does Your Zen Garden Grow?, I’m On a Sushi Roll, Suzi-san Climbs Fuji-san, Tempura-ture is Rising!) and vibrant purple and blue hues with metallic shimmer that capture the city’s electric energy and nightlife (All Your Dreams in Vending Machines, Samurai Breaks a Nail, Kanpai OPI!, Chopstix and Stones) round out the collection.
«Tokyo is known for being on the forefront of nail trends – a perfect fit for OPI, where we don’t follow the trends but set them,» declares OPI co-founder and brand ambassador, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. «In this collection, we are revisiting the 80s and 90s, with pop colors that we’ve given a modern twist, taking inspiration from the famous Harajuku neighborhood. Tokyo brings so much life to this collection, from its eclectic fashion, vibrant nightlife and world-renowned cuisine to the rich traditions including matcha tea ceremonies and zen gardens.»
The collection will hit the shelves in Switzerland on February 14, 2019 and will be available for approximately 6 months.

Bum bags in a modern way. Belts bring pouches into the loop. So practical!
The rise of craft couture in ready-to-wear has resulted in a similar movement in accessories.
Circles or squares? That’s the big bag debate of the season.
Don’t take fashion too serious! Those tongue-in-cheek bags are worthy of a red carpet turn.
The bigger the better and please note, to be carried under your arm.
The two-bag approach is proving not only hero-buy status but total practicality.
There is a reason why Pantone announced it the color of the year 2019.
California on your mind? Then go for all that zesty tie dye and those endless wetsuits.
Lace sliced and diced, that is what the new season is about.
70’s crochet, fishnet fabrics and beaded macramé, a crafty theme swept through the summer collections.
The easiest way to energise your wardrobe? Take your tailoring in vibrant citrusy shades.
Decorate your looks with a supersized bow and take the streets with more fanfare than a trumpet.
One trend from the ’90s that I was convinced I would never see again… sorry, my fault! Cycling shorts are back!
Very beautiful! The designers used pleating to create a truly haute-couture silhouette.
It is a fact, the Eighties just won’t go away. This season, it is the acid wash denim that caught my eye.
My ‘it’ item of the season! An all-in-one suit is now your go-to wardrobe solution.
Next season’s partywear diktat is as frou-frou as they come: just add feathers and fringe.
Classy polka dots the transparent way, good girls gone bad!
Live up to the era of the hippie! Rock star and bohemian touches are still found everywhere.
This summer, you’re not fully dressed without a head piece that becomes part of your floral explosions. Wall flowers need not apply.
Have sequins ever ‘not’ been on trend? Perhaps not, but they were so prevalent at the S/S 2019 shows that we can’t ignore them. Personally speaking, I love the take of these designers above that love to work in general with the sparkling fabric. Those looks seem fresh and modern.
