OPI Nail Polish and Merle Norman Lip Polish in Hussy Swatches and Review

The Hussy Collection.  1 ravishing shade… 7 beautiful ways.  Age Defying Lipcolor, Lip Glaze, Creamy Lipcolor, Lip Polish, Lip Pencil Plus, Age Defying Lipliner, and OPI Nail Lacquer made exclusively for Merle Norman!  Plus Hussy Eau de Parfum – an allyring new scent named after the world-renowned automobile.

Merle Norman has given me the amazing opportunity to review two items from their Hussy line!  A gorgeous Lip Polish as well as their exclusive OPI shade in the color Hussy!  Inspired by the world-renowned multi-award winning automobile owned by The Nethercutt Collection called Hussy. The Hussy Collection includes six lip color formulas and a custom-formulated, exclusive OPI nail lacquer in the same unique red

 

Now I know how that sounds and I did get funny looks when I was asked what shade I was wearing on my nails and lips and my response was “Hussy” but once I said “The automobile!” they smiled and said “Oh ok!” (but I will say they still looked at me like I was a little crazy).

I wore both products today at work and I am so incredibly thrilled with both!  I would LOVE to grab more items from this collection because the red shade is absolutely gorgeous!  This was my first experience with Merle Norman Cosmetics and I look forward to buying more of their products.

OPI Hussy is a gorgeous vibrant red with shimmer throughout.  I used two coats of Hussy and the formula was lovely and went on flawlessly.  In the sunlight this is a dazzling polish, the shimmer is spectacular!

Now it’s time to GUSH about Merle Norman Hussy Lip Polish.  Hussy is a gorgeous shimmery red.  I usually shy away from red lip products because they usually clash with my skintone, but this one was PERFECT!  I wore it to work and was extremely comfortable wearing it.  I applied Hussy around 7:15 am, went to work, ate breakfast and drank 2 cups of coffee… and my lips were still RED!  Lip Polish usually doesn’t last on me.  After I had lunch I checked my lips again… STILL RED!  Even though the Lip Polish “feel” wore off around noon, the color clung to my lips until I got home at 6pm.  I never reapplied!  It’s a miracle!  Hussy Lip Polish will be one of my top 5 “go to” lip colors from here on out and it has completely won me over!  Also, I apologize for my lip appearance, I just recovered from a cold and my lips are still slightly dry from it.

Both of these amazing products can be found at your local Merle Norman Salon or online at www.merlenorman.com.  OPI Hussy is a Merle Norman exclusive, so it cannot be found at normal OPI locations, only where  Merle Norman is found!  Also be sure to check out Merle Norman on facebook !

I had a manicure done at Merle Norman and paid extra for the shellac……is there a special nailpolish that you can buy with this in it or is the shellac only done when you get a manicure…..

Hi Olga! I know you can buy Shellac for your nails as a top coat of sorts at places like Sally Beauty! Most Shellacs do need a UV type dryer though to “set” them. I’ll look around though and see if I can find any that don’t require them!
