OPI's New Nail Polish Dries in 60 Seconds — and a Wingstop Collaboration Aims to Prove It

Yahoo30-01-2025

OPI is already Super Bowl prepping — with a Wingstop collaboration, no less.
The nail polish brand and fast-food chain have teamed to launch a limited-edition 'Snack in :60' kit, complete with a $15 Wingstop gift card, a 60-second timer and two of OPI's new RapiDry polishes, which retail for $9.99 each and purport to dry within 60 seconds of application.

Launching Friday, the kits will be available for free at snackin60.com for as long as supplies last, aiming to encourage consumers to put the polishes' smudge-proof claims to the test.
The RapiDry polishes — which launched earlier this month — are OPI's first quick-drying lacquer that aims to combat what the brand has coined 'smudge-stration,' or the frustration consumers feel when nail polish dry time inhibits their to-do list.
'Using equipment from the wall paint industry to torture-test different formulas, we were able to scientifically evaluate the science of drying and smudging,' said Victoria Briand, R&D director, retail and color collections for OPI, adding the brand eventually nailed a formula balance of solvents and drying drops which allowed for a swift dry time, while maintaining color payoff.
The brands have tapped TikTok influencer Ashtin Earle to kick off the #Snackin60 challenge on social media.
'The challenge taps into this culture of creative snacking and content creation,' said Lori Pantel, chief marketing officer of OPI parent company Wella North America. 'It's built for shareable moments, easy participation and the perfect blend of beauty and fun.'
'We knew that combining forces with OPI would resonate deeply with our younger fans,' added Mark Christenson, Wingstop's chief revenue officer.
The partnership marks the latest in a string of food/beauty collaborations to hit the market: last year, Wonderskin and Chipotle teamed for an avocado-inspired 'Lipotle' lip stain, while Nails.Inc launched a limited-edition McDonald's collection.

'Keeping Up With Taylor Swift' Serving As Travis Kelce Motivation?

'Keeping Up With Taylor Swift' Serving As Travis Kelce Motivation? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is embarking on what many think will be his last NFL season, and his motivation for turning his form around might just be his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Advertisement With the pair seen as the biggest power couple on the planet right now, there isn't much that the pair does that doesn't get attention. Kelce is coming off a poor season, and for ESPN's Hannah Storm, she jokingly thinks that Travis' motivation for 2025 might be Swift due to her ability to have such long concerts on back-to-back nights. 'Can I just say, he's got to keep up with his girlfriend, who can do a three-and-a-half-hour concert without skipping a beat,' Storm said on SportsCenter. 'And she does it back-to-back nights, you gotta keep up." Taylor Swift (left) and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (right).Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images So will Kelce get his 2025 motivation from Swift and her efforts on tour? Possibly. Advertisement With the couple able to navigate some troubled seas after the Super Bowl loss, now they appear to be better than ever, with Travis now looking to end his storied career in a good way. It isn't known if Swift will be in attendance at any of the Chiefs' home games, given the scrutiny aimed at her and Travis after the Super Bowl, but we imagine she will make herself known a couple of times this year. As far as Travis' motivation for 2025, he doesn't have to look any further than how last year ended, but if he is short on it as he enters Year 13, then maybe looking at how Swift conducts herself might be the next step for the future Hall of Famer.

Steelers fans fume over Aaron Rodgers signing: ‘He sucks'

Four MVPs, 10 Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl ring be damned – some Steelers fans are furious over the arrival of Aaron Rodgers. Pittsburgh's signing of Rodgers has received a mixed bag of reviews in the Steel City, with many fans voicing their frustrations over the move. Concerns have ranged from the quarterback's age (41), to the short-term nature of his one-year, $13.6 million contract, to his anti-vaccination beliefs. 'No, not optimistic at all,' lifelong Steelers fan Ron Stadler, Jr. told USA TODAY's Jarrett Bell. 'I wish he'd have retired already. He sucks.' Getty Images The most viral example of the frustration came from one fan on social media, who filmed himself burning his autographed Minkah Fitzpatrick jersey while declaring he would 'never be a Steelers fan again.' 'Yinz decide to pick up Aaron Rodgers, I can't do this anymore,' said the fan, @greencheckdegen on TikTok. 'You keep killing us.' The fan went on to reference the Steelers trading star wideout George Pickens and losing Justin Fields in free agency as further reasons for his departure from the fanbase. Veteran defensive lineman Cam Heyward took to X to respond to the fan. 'First off, why Minkah's jersey? That's bonkers. Second, why burn when there are plenty of people that need clothes,' Heyward wrote. 'Third, you are going to regret it!!' Other reactions to the news were less extreme, but the sentiment remains: a large faction of Pittsburgh's fanbase is less than pleased with the signing. 'This feels cheap and desperate,' wrote one fan on X. 'This is not a Pittsburgh Steeler.' Another posted: 'I hope he fails the physical. I am not a fan of this decision.' Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year, $13.6 million contract with the Steelers. AP Many of the replies under the Steelers' announcement of Rodgers' signing carried a similar tone, mixed in with a smattering of more positive responses. Last season, Rodgers passed for 28 touchdowns and 3,897 yards with the Jets, who cut him after the season. Rodgers will have his first chance to prove the doubters wrong when the Steelers take on those same Jets — and Fields — in Week 1 at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 7.

Adam Lippes Resort 2026: Elegant American Sportswear Gone Global

Adam Lippes admits he treads lightly on inspiration with his collections but a recent trip to Japan helped fuel his creative impulses. 'It is just a logical place where your mind is more open to absorbing the creativity that's around you, so then we try to mix that with what we're trying to say as a brand,' he said of the trip. The collection notes mused about Japan's blend of tradition and modernity, utility and decoration, and its ongoing dialogue with Western culture, particularly through Amekaji, or 'American Casual.' But casual means more that just elevated basics with Lippes' nuanced touch. His pieces are classic staples but imbued with incredible details and luxurious fabrications: Italian double-face satin, lacquered wools, brushed mohair, crinkled metallics.

Amber Iman Brings 'Goddess' Alive on the Public Theater Stage Tailoring, his number-one category, is a strong point with jackets shown a bit longer with a nipped waist and slight shoulder pad. Pieces were lined in silk, a detail that underscores his point of difference in the market. 'We're the only U.S. brand to line in silk,' he said of the subtle and luxurious detail. Pair it with his crisp poplin shirting, fluid silk tops, and new 'second-skin' cashmere foundations with knits, and a customer can live in. Over a third of the fabrics were sourced from Japan, including a polished take on deep blue denim with a belted button down and supersized pant. The cultural exchange was seen throughout with balloon pants — a nod to Tokyo construction uniforms — or wrap shirts with yukata sleeves. A high V-neck gown was cut using a traditional Japanese pattern-making technique that shapes the body with a single seam. The country is more than just on his mood board, with plans to open three new points of sale in Japan the next year. The time has come for his 'elegant American sportswear' — already a hit at home — to make his mark internationally. Outside of Japan he shared that another 'yet to be named city' will house his first boutique abroad. He did give a clue, sharing that he's launched e-commerce platforms in the U.K. and Japan. Lippes is on the move, embarking on a fashion cultural exchange with room to grow.
