Embrace the Power of Hue with OPI’s Limited Edition Summer 2022 Shimmer Shade Collection

MAY 3, 2022 – Joyfully embrace vibrant color with OPI’s Power of Hue Collection for Summer 2022! Featuring 12 limited edition shimmer shades in three different formulas, Power of Hue includes a palette of mood-boosting, warm colors to activate and energize the mind and body, balanced by cooler, more therapeutic soothing hues.

Bold, bright pops of fuchsia, electric turquoise, and violet uplift spirits while candy-colored pink, lilac, and sky blue evoke euphoric feelings akin to a sugar rush. Versatile, adaptable rich rose and neutral shimmering hues balance feel-good shades of citrusy orange, vivid yellow, lime green, and hot pink that will animate any look.

“The global crisis that has overwhelmed our lives for the past two years gives way to a color direction that’s alive with energy,” remarks OPI Co-Founder and Brand Ambassador Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. “Invigorating aesthetics, therapeutic textures, and vibrating color combinations are at the heart of Summer 2022’s color story. This collection’s hyper-colored shades bring a sense of euphoria and escapism with mood-boosting effects.”

“This summer, four colors dominate nail trends: fuchsia, orange, lilac, and blue,” adds OPI Global Director of Color Collections Jill Bartoshevich. “Fuchsia has an intensity that’s empowering, so it’s no surprise that Pink Big – a bold, shimmery fuchsia – is the season’s hero shade. Orange is an uplifting, gender-neutral bright, while lilac is a playful, contemporary purple. Blue is cool, refreshing and offers a balm for both body and mind. With this collection, consumers can inject technicolor into their manicures and pedicures with a spectrum of shimmering rainbow hues ideal for self-expression.”
