Nail Colors For Your Wall: 2015 OPI Color Palette by Clark+Kensington®

Ace Hardware Launches Exclusive 2015 OPI Color Palette by Clark+Kensington® 

If you are one of millions who wear nail polish, you understand the value of placing OPI on your nails, versus another brand. Trust me...there is a significant difference and it is worth it! I was equally excited to learn that the same enjoyment I can put on my nails, can now be put on my walls. That is right! Just in time for spring and summer house remodeling or sprucing up projects. This is right on time for me, as I am in the market for a new paint color for my bedroom. For those who know me, you know I don't even paint my own nails (it is so much better to let professionals do it :-). So this must be something special for me to WANT to paint a wall in my house. I will be honest...it will probably be one wall to start with. But hey, you have to start somewhere right? I think I am most excited to explore the shades in the "Natural" line. I look forward to completing my project and sharing it in the next digital issue of The IDEAL Magazine!

Colors from The Natural

Ace Hardware, the largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative in the world, and OPI, the world's number one salon brand, are continuing their exclusive partnership by bringing OPI's most popular nail lacquer colors to life with a new color palette by Clark+Kensington®, Ace's premium paint line. Following the launch of last year's incredibly popular inaugural palette, color enthusiasts everywhere will now be able to bring additional OPI shades into their home décor, including colors from the new Hawaii Collection by OPI. 

Curated into three distinctive collections -- The Natural, The Creative Genius and The Adventurista -- the 2015 OPI Color Palette by Clark+Kensington® includes iconic OPI colors such as OPI's Bubble Bath and Lincoln Park After Dark, along with colors from OPI's new Hawaii Collection, to provide fashionistas with even more of their favorite colors for their homes. The 2015 OPI Color Palette by Clark+Kensington boasts a total of 20 OPI shades and 15 coordinating Clark+Kensington colors to provide homeowners with additional inspiration in bringing color into their home.

AIISHA RAMADAN presented at this years Fashion Forward Dubai and received a well deserved standing ovation. AIISHA RAMADAN’S new collection symbolises the re launch of her brand, her signature, her journey of discovery, who she is as a person, a designer, an individual, a passionate human being.  The collection represents Aiisha, each piece reflects what she wants to present to the world - simple, refined, elegant, effortless and timeless. The inspiration for the season is City Lights, inspired by the geometry, the colours, the darkness that reflects from the buildings and the shadows that create shapes, which play on imagination.  A million lights flickering are memorizing and the simple lines that define them, like jewels cast in the finest settings. Each look is perfectly finished with exclusive jewelry, courtesy of Dhamani.

Where Hope Grows Movie Screening...Very Inspirational

The IDEAL Magazine was invited to attend the screening last night for "Where Hope Grows" where producer Milan Chakraborty shared his thoughts with the media in the crowd.

WHERE HOPE GROWS is the moving story about former professional baseball player Calvin Campbell (Kristoffer Polaha) who was sent to an early retirement due panic attacks at the plate.  Even though he had all the talent for the big leagues, he struggles with the curveballs life has thrown him. Today he mindlessly sleepwalks through his days as copes with the challenges of raising his teenage daughter (McKaley Miller).  As he continues in a slow, downward spiral, a chance meeting with the most unlikely person – Produce, a young-man with Down syndrome who works at the local grocery store – invigorates and awakens his life.

Where Hope Grows opens nationwide in the USA on May 15, 2015. Be sure to take time out to see this worthy film. It is very heart touching

A very special thanks to BRIAN CARRILLO  and Rogers & Cowan for inviting The IDEAL Magazine to this event!
