OPI released a new nail polish collection for fall 2009 called Suede featuring the look of lush suede in six best-selling OPI shades. The matte + shimmer nail polish collection is available in six iconic OPI shades: Russian Navy, You Don’t Know Jacques!, Lincoln Park After Dark, Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, OPI Ink and We’ll Always Have Paris. Like the matte collection, to maintain the Suede by OPI finish, OPI recommends to not use any base coat, top coat, drying drops, or hand lotion when wearing these lacquers. I have yet to try the Suede nail polishes yet but I want to, looks really nice.

Sarah Jessica Parker is launching another fragrance with Coty Prestige, called SJP NYC, which was inspired by her “Sex and the City” alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw. According to WWD, Coty’s already working with the Sex and The City movie producers and distributors to leverage the relationship, details of the plan are still in development, although in-store appearances and promotions tied to the movie’s premiere are planned. The fruity floral scent created by Parker and Firmenich’s Honorine Blanc, has top notes of Italian mandarin, white osmanthus and wild red strawberries; a heart of gardenia, honeysuckle, mimosa and red rose damascenia, and a drydown of sandalwood, vanilla absolute, rum flavor and creamy musks. The collection consists of eaux de toilette in three sizes — 15 ml. for $25, 30 ml. for $35 and 60 ml. for $49 — as well as a 200-ml. body lotion for $25. A cuff bracelet with solid perfume, tentatively priced at $35, will follow in May. SJP NYC will bow first in Macy’s 750 doors in February. In May, coinciding with the release of the second ‘Sex and the City’ movie, the fragrance will expand its reach to an additional 1,500 department and specialty store doors in the U.S., and to 16 countries for a total of about 10,000 doors worldwide at full distribution.

Last month I was invited to the La Prairie breakfast launch of their new fragrance, Life Threads. The breakfast presentation included a screening of their “fragrance fantasies” mini-films, which can be watched on lifethreads.com, and we got to smell the fragrances firsthand. The Life Threads fragrance trilogy includes a Silver, Gold and Platinum scent packaged in a unique thread-wrapped bottle according to it’s scent (color). The three fragrances expresses a different stage of a woman’s life, “one that can shimmer her world into Silver; one to drive success and go for the Gold; one that makes Platinum the power center for her dreams.” The Silver scent is floral woody, Gold scent is spicy Oriental and Platinum scent is elegant and edgy chypre floral, each bottle retail at $125 for 1.7fl oz bottle. I really like the bottle, the clear lucite bottle with threads woven around it is really pretty. My favorite of the three is the Silver scent, a floral woody fragrance consisting of top notes: green leaves and golden bergamot; heart notes: tuberose, pimento, Indian Jasmine, orange blossom and ylang ylang; and bottom notes: rare sandalwood, cherished vetiver, solar musk and peppery moss. The fragrance launch capitalizes on a multi-media plan, including a partnership with NYC singer/songwriter Lucy Kaplansky and a specially penned “Life Threads” song, which will be played on the Life Threads site.
