Fresh from their custom line for the movie Burlesque<\/i><\/a>, OPI is offering a series of “Urban Ballerina” nail polishes along with Sephora<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Urban Ballerina Collection <\/b>
What it is:
A collection of long-wearing, chip-resistant nail polishes. <\/p>\n

What it does:
Inspired by the eclectic style of an urban ballerina, this striking collection infuses a punk-rock edge with the typically soft, sweet (and pink) palette of classical ballet. The shades in the Urban Ballerina collection reflect the urban dancer’s dynamic textures and colors, like shimmering pink satin, the steely gray of downtown buildings, and the neutral tones of a city landscape. Each shade is totally wearable, fashionable, and a must-have accessory! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are the colors (I often feel I missed my calling and should have been a nail polish-namer):<\/p>\n
