My Pointe Exactly

From: OPI’s New York City Ballet Collection

           My mood for once has nothing to do with choosing this particular color.  I just really liked the name. OPI came out with six new soft shades that make up their new New York city Ballet Collection. “My Pointe Exactly” is a blue gray that is very sheer. All of the colors in this collection are sheer. Three coats are needed and you can’t have old nail polish on underneath.

            I was debating telling you guys about the history of pointes for this blog post, but I decided not to. Mainly because I still have scars (emotional and physical) from my pointes. Needless to say my ballet career ended very early on in my life.

            But instead I decided that I’d educate you all on the New York City Ballet. They are one of the best dance companies in the world and they train artist as well as create their own shoes. They perform in the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. They were the first ballet institution in the world! The company has 90 dancers as well as a school that has 350 aspiring dancers. The idea behind the company was to breed dancers from the US. They opened the doors of their theater in 1948.

            So whether you are like me, and scarred from adolescent ballet lessons, or you’ve never danced a day in your life you can still enjoy OPI’s New York City Ballet Collection
