American Idol looks any judge would applaud

Mariah Carey is back and bigger than ever after landing the prime position as one of American Idol’s newest judges (alongside Kieth Urban and Nicki Minaj!).

 

This season of Idol promises to be filled with big talent and even bigger drama, and we can’t wait to start watching. So just in time for the show’s season premiere (which is happening tonight, Jan. 16, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX), we’ve decided to honor the original diva in dazzling, all-American style.

 

When OPI announced that Mimi would be fronting their latest OPI Mariah Carey Collection, we knew this set of lacquers would be filled with sophisticated shades and sparkly, glitter-bombs! 

We can’t wait to start donning our tips in this fabulous polish, but until then we need to decide what exactly we wanna wear with it! Read on for three totally tripped out getups to match MC’s new shades…and make you feel like a star while you’re at it.

 

GL loves “Sprung” from Mariah Carey’s OPI line. The lacquer is a stunning dark red/brown color with glitzy bronze flecks to sparkle up your mani. This polish has “diva” written all over it, so you’ll need an equally high-fashion outfit to match. We love the look of a preppy red skirt with a pretty rose ring, mixed with edgy pieces like a black crop top, studded leather jacket and studded flats.

Sparkle and shine in OPI’s “Pink Yet Lavender” nail polish inspired by none other than Mariah Carey herself! This glitzy polish promises to leave your claws absolutely dazzling. It’s pretty sparkly so feel free to tone down your outfit with flare jeans and a peplum top. We recommend minimal accessories (not to take away from the nails’ sparklies), like a sweet and girly flower ring or golden bangle. Knee-high brown boots tie the whole look together and give your outfit the ultimate “wow” factor.

Get ready to go glam in OPI’s “A Butterfly Moment” nail polish. This soft, pastel pink shade gives your nails a girly vibe and will look great with almost everything in your wardrobe. We’d love to wear pale pink skinny jeans and a bold, divalicious golden jacket with this.  As for accessories? It’s all about a Victorian era-inspired cameo ring, pretty stacked pearl bracelet and funky studded boots.
