What is OPI? OPI is releasing a nail polish collection inspired by the iconic Bond girls from the past 50 years of James Bond films. Hot on the heels of their successful James Bond SkyFall collection last year, the latest OPI James Bond collaboration includes six new textured nail shades for each of Bond’s most memorable female characters.
Titled Bond Girls, the new collection features six uniquely textured Liquid Sand nail polishes that have a shimmery-yet-matte finish. True to the Bond girls’ high-fashion image, the glittery hues of pink, gold, turquoise and purple are eye-catching and glamourous. Fans of textured nail art will love the sparkly 3-D feeling of Liquid Sand polish—which is quickly becoming a mainstay in OPI collections. With strict instructions not to use a top coat, the nail polish leaves a pebbled finish fitting the allure surrounding the Bond girls, as well as the ongoing trend of textured nail art.
And, it wouldn’t be an OPI collection without witty polish names! From “Pussy Galore” to “Honey Ryder,” each polish is named after legendary Bond girl. In particular, we loved the deep blackened-purple “Vesper,” which evokes a sparkly gothic glamour and has an almost jelly finish. At the other end of the colour spectrum, the unique silvery-white “Solitaire” polish is a new take on the all-white manicure, with a trendy texture update thanks to the Liquid Sand finish.
Researchers have found that good looking students get higher grades from their teachers than students with an ordinary appearance. Some studies using mock criminal trials have shown that physically attractive "defendants" are less likely to be convicted—and if convicted are likely to receive lighter sentences—than less attractive ones (although the opposite effect was observed when the alleged crime was swindling, perhaps because jurors perceived the defendant's attractiveness as facilitating the crime). Studies among teens and young adults, such as those of psychiatrist and self-help author, Eva Ritvo, show that skin conditions have a profound effect on social behavior and opportunity.
The study of culture and human societies, studies fashion by questioning why a certain styles are deemed socially appropriate and others not. A certain way is chosen and that becomes the fashion as defined by a certain people as a whole, so if a particular style has a meaning in an already occurring set of beliefs that style will become fashion. According to Ted Polhemus, and Lynn Procter, fashion can be described in terms of adornment of which there are two types: fashion and anti-fashion. Through the capitalization and commoditisation of clothing, accessories, and shoes etc. what constituted anti-fashion has now become part of fashion as the lines between fashion and anti-fashion are being blurred.
