I just saw this article on Happi.com and I had to share:
OPI Forges Deal with Dell
2009-10-08 | 09:22
Techno-savvy stylistas will be able to personalize their Dell laptops through a partnership with nail lacquer expert OPI. Beginning next month in the U.S., Dell will offer 20 OPI classic colors and six holiday collection shades— including “Dear Santa,” “Merry Midnight” and “Smitten with Mittens"—on its Dell Mini, Inspiron and Studio laptops. Shades will be available first on Dell's website in the U.S. and later in other countries. Select OPI colors also will be available at many retailers, according to Dell. “Beautiful nails really are the ultimate accessory to any look,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI executive vice president and artistic director. “And now, with Dell laptops that coordinate with OPI Nail Lacquers, you can match your nails to your emails.” Added Rachna Bhasin, general manager, partnerships and personalization or global consumer at Dell, “OPI’s high style and Dell’s award-winning technology combine to offer people stylish options that deliver the ultimate combination of color and connectivity on the go.” More info: www.opi.com or www.dell.com
I love that: "...you can match your nails to your emails." Cute! I don't know if this will be a selling point (for me at least) but I do love that we now have the ability to own a computer that is the same color as our favorite shade of OPI nail polish. What a Tech-Diva thing to do!
How do you feel about this news? Would these new color options influence your purchase?
NO WAY! I'm such an OPI and a Dell girl, if I needed a new computer *knock on wood*, I would consider these if they were as cute as the concept! Everyone and their brother is designing a Limited Edition Netbook these days, why not a laptop with in an OPI color? Right? I won't run out and buy one for that reason, but I will look!

I think it's cute. :) Is I'm Not Really A Waitress an option? I think that's one of their best shades.
ReplyDeleteHaha I love the concept- although I'm not sure if it will sell too well.
ReplyDeleteI love this concept! I've been saving up for a Dell Mini, now I'll wait till next month to check out all the color options.
ReplyDeleteHey Amber! I'm right there with you! If I needed a new laptop I would definitely check these out because the concept is just so darn cute, but I don't think the color would necessarily impact my decision (although it would be a great bonus!). xo
ReplyDeleteHey Papaya Bunny! Wow, great idea about the cell phones! If I could get my Blackberry in My Auntie Drinks Chianti I would be ALL over it! lol. :)
Hey Anthony! You know, I don't know what other shades they'll offer, aside from the holiday shades they listed, but they'd be crazy NOT to make one in I'm Not Really a Waitress! You're totally right--that's an amazing shade. xo
Hi Emily! I'll be interested in seeing how these do...I don't think people will buy them JUST because of the colors available, but it's definitely a plus, right? :)
Hey Stella! I would love to hear from you next month to see what you think of these, and also what shade you get if you end up buying one! xo
I love the concept although I'm not sure if it will sell too well.
