Sephora-OPI a 4 star hit!
SEPHORA by OPI Nail Colour
I got seduced by this polish when I was roaming around my local Sephora store. The colors are great and you can actually sample them which is a terrific benefit. Also, how can you resist the very clever names such as "I'm with Brad" or "Brunette on the Internet"? I usually use either OPI or Essie polishes when I get manicures or pedicures at nail salons so I knew that OPI would be a good product.

I don't know if the Sephora-OPI polish formula differs in anyway in formula or quality from the non-Sephora polish....but I am pleased with the results so far!

I purchased three colors of polish and a bottle of the Hydrator. SEPHORA by OPI Nail Treatment - Hydrator Although the store had testers of almost all the colors, I was disappointed that many of the lighter shades as well as the most trendy shades were out of stock. I was able to get "Metro Chic", "Non Fat Soy Half Caff" and "Beauty Junkie". "Non Fat" is a semi-transparent deep beige neutral for my fingernails, "Beauty Junkie" a perfect opaque deep chocolate cherry for my toes, and "Metro Chic" a fashionista deep grey satin opaque with lavender undertones..... because I just couldn't help myself.

I gave myself a very quick manicure when I got home. I have very short, brittle nails that crack and split all winter. I used the Hydrator (which looks grey in the bottle but goes on clear) and two coats of "Metro Chic" and then a drug store brand of top coat I found in a drawer. I thought the polish would last one day tops! Dark polish on short nails....how long can it last? More than six days with nary a chip or nick! I've done dishes! I can't explain it!

"Metro Chic" as a color is not for the faint of heart. It's a deep gray with a slight lavender undertone. It would best be worn by a 22 year old art student named Mirabelle living in a garret on the Left Bank of Paris. Its not Goth, just a bit recherché, a tad demi-monde. Yes, everybody is raving about it, but let's face it, it's grey. If you used it on your toe nails it would look like you had dropped a mayonnaise jar on your foot! My husband flat out said it was ugly. My 29 year old daughter recognized the trendy-ness but didn't think it was pretty enough for her to wear. I am really beginning to adore it! Its the longest lasting dark shade manicure I ever had!

It lasted a full six days. Beauty Junkie is also long lasting....but on my toes. Non Fat Soy was disappointing in comparison. It lasted three days. Perhaps because it is less dense, more transparent a color?

I suspect the Hydrator is responsible for some of the longevity. It works well as a clear coat as well. I will probably purchase the top coat next.

The polish colors on the web site are fairly true. It would be very helpful if they were more accurately described in the copy as opaque, sheer, frost, satin, etc. As the stores are out of stock on so many of the colors, buying them on the web is the thing to do.

As far as I am concerned, the Sephora-OPI polish is a very good product line. It is long wearing, chip resistant, comes in amazing, high fashion colors that have the best, most clever names. At $9 a bottle how can you resist?

Meh.
I have purchased my bottle of nail color from Sephora, since it was a) from Sephora, and b) by OPI. I have to say that I am disappointed. For this price, I have expected better results on the application and time before peeling. In fact, I had better results with Revlon and Sally Hansen nail polish.

Awesome polish
I had never used Sephora's OPI nail polish and thought it would be nice but nothing spectaular. I had recently fallen in love with the new wide brush offered from another drug-store brand nail polish and thought that what I really wanted out of Sephora's OPI was just the color. Boy, was I wrong.

Sephora's OPI was, indeed, a beautiful color and compliments my skin well. However, it also goes on much more smooth, no bubbles or streaks, and creates a remarkably even surface. The brush was easy to wield (unlike the current vogue for short, squat, square polish jars) and while not the speciality wide brush I thought was the bee's knees, it provided a sweeping coverage that I couldn't complain about. For a polish, this was an easy, polished process. Now I wish all my other polishes were like this.
