Urban Beauty Legend: Monica for Orly Beauty

Did you know R&B singer Monica is collaborating with Orly on a nail polish line scheduled to come out in July 2011? She tweeted, “Thanks to Team Monica [for] the support, [I] just closed the deal for my nail polish line. It’s an extension of Orly. Orly is an amazing product found in spas, Sally’s (as in Sally Beauty) and many other beauty supply stores so this is an honor. Heading into the manufacturing plant now.” She then added, “My kids, family and fans support is the reason I am able to do these things. So I will name one polish after one of my fans VERY soon…”

Monica tweeted that she was headed to the Orly Beauty offices yesterday. Later on, she confirmed that her new polish line will be available July 2011. “Ladies, Orly gave me their word,” she said.

Monica said the collection will be available in July as well as her version of Orly’s Bonder Base Coat. She said of this product, “Here’s the key to your polish lasting longer.” It helps prevent your manicures from chipping. Not sure if she is planning to add more nail treatments such as this one but of course, I will update when I do.

The nail polish line, created in conjunction with her cousin, is called “Nail Inspirations,” which is fitting since Monica is constantly positive. “Each nail bottle will contain an inspirational quote to remind us to stay encouraged, stay focused, enjoy life and know that hard times will come in many different fashions (relationships, work, etc.).”  Monica gave a sneak peek of her new endeavor in Essence’s Fall 2010 Special Hair Issue.
