Sephora Discontinuing the OPI for Sephora Line

Not sure if you have heard, but Sephora will no longer be carrying the Sephora by OPI (or OPI by Sephora, as it's listed in their alphabetical drop-down).

My undertanding is that they will be expanding their Sephora X line.

I am disappointed because I've been a big fan of the Sephora by OPI line....... a big fan!

The somewhat good new is that they are having a sale on the line- quite a few sets and all individual shades are half-price ($4.50). This is a fabulous deal! Note also that ebates is giving back 8% from Sephora purchases right now.

One thing I'd definitely recommend is getting the Metro Too Chic set- it's currently half-price ($12!). If you don't get the set, you at least NEED to purchased an individual bottle of Metro Too Chic- it's absolutely gorgeous!

Here are swatches of the Metro Too Chic mini set. I really like this set- I think Metro Too Chic and Arose Beyond Shimmer are stand-outs.

NOTD: Sephora by OPI Nifty Shade of Grey


Sephora by OPI Nifty Shade of Grey
from the Metro Too Chic set, which retails on Sephora's website for $24.50

Sephora describes this as "opaque purple grey duochrome" which is pretty darn accurate. I needed three coats to completely cover my nail line. I really like this one!

NOTD: Sephora by OPI Keys to My Hybrid

Sephora by OPI Keys to My Hybrid
from the Metro Too Chic set, which retails on Sephora's website for $24.50.

Keys to My Hybrid is a hot pink creme. Nothing spectacular or unique, but it behaved well and is nice and springy.

I am almost done with this set! I have Nifty Shade of Grey (har har) on today and am hoping for some sun so I can take a pic.

I have to tell you that I totally thought that Arose Beyond Shimmer was going to be a glitter topper..... but it's not! It's absolutely totally opaque, almost in one coat. I had Tweet You Later! on and thought this might look great over it, but it completely covered it. A nice surprise- and I think Arose Beyond Shimmer is just gorgeous.

Both are from the Metro Too Chic set, which retails on Sephora's website for $24.50.

Tweet You Later! (3 coats)
from the Sephone by OPI Metro Too Chic mini set

In January I spotted the Metro Too Chic set on Sephora's website for $24.50 and knew I needed to have it. Metro Too Chic was the first shade I swatched, and I thought I'd do Tweet You Later! next and then top it with Arose Beyond Shimmer the next day.

This is a nice cream, although not very unique. I did need three coats to get nice even coverage. I'm excited to see how the shimmer looks on top of it.

Back in 2008, Sephora by OPI released Metro Chic, which started a mushroom nail polish revolution. I really like the original color so when I spotted the Metro Too Chic set on Sephora's website for $24.50 in January and knew I needed to have it, and that Metro Too Chic would be the first shade I wanted to swatch.

Metro Too Chic did not disappoint at all. I love the shimmer in the sun- and it's quite pretty indoors as well. Looking forward to wearing the other shades in the set soon.

I am sure we are all familiar with Sephora by OPI's Metro Chic, which came out in 2008 and started a mushroom nail polish revolution. I spotted the Metro Too Chic set on Sephora's website for $24.50 in January and knew I needed to have it.

I noticed a gorgeous hidden shimmer in Metro Too Chic- that will definitely be the first one I swatch.

I am so anxious to swatch these! Two kids and a full-time job are getting in my way though.
