Have I ever told you guys that "Metro Chic" is my favorite nailpolish? If I haven't, let me tell you now. "Metro Chic" from Sephora by OPI is my favorite nailpolish. It's greige goodness, w/ a hint of purple, was on waitlist even before the first collection ever came out in the stores - it was just that good. Which was a great precursor to what was to follow - the Sephora by OPI line has been a winner.
As the seasons change, so do their collections. This spring their collection is called "Modern Flowers", "Inspired by the beautiful blossoms in an ultramodern bouquet, the vibrant pinks, soft pastels, and funky brights will be the finishing touch on any chic outfit this season":
Sephora by OPI Leaf Him at the Altar ($9) – This flower-inspired metallic, vine-green polish will make the rest green with envy.
Sephora by OPI Go With the Flow-er ($9) – Sit back and smell the flowers (on your fingertips) with this bright tulip pink shade with hot pink shimmer.
Sephora by OPI Iris I Was Thinner ($9) – This elegant iris purple crème will add a trendy touch to any summer outfit, day or night.
Sephora by OPI It’s Bouquet With Me ($9) – Add a splash of sparkle to your step with this sheer violet with silver and holographic glitter.
Sephora by OPI Cover Me in Petals ($9) – Every girl loves flowers – so give this gift of creamy coral color to yourself this Spring.
Sephora by OPI Handpicked for Me ($9) – This light pink lilac sparkle with silver shimmer is the perfect addition to a sweet Spring day.
Any of these catching your eye? Lemme know if you pick up any of these, or if you already use SOPI, let me know what color you rock.
There was a time, a few years ago, that I started wearing
O.P.I.'s "Espresso My Style" and I just loved it. It was when I started my quest for a great brown nailpolish, but was quite a change from my lack of polish wearing I used to do. Anyway, I had a boss, who, ever so politely, told me, "You need to stop wearing that color - it's just too dark for you.". Well, that's just too damn bad, because I liked it and kept wearing it, much to her chagrin. (*I'm such a rebel.)
Now, I fully embrace the fact that I am not a fluffy pink nail polish kind of girl. That doesn't mean I am goth, by any means. (*I am way to much of a pale, freckled, redhead for that to ever work - besides the whole "not wanting to be goth" thing.), or that I don't like a bright pop of color every once in a while. That just means that I love Fall/Winter color collections more than Spring/Summer collections. And, to distract me from this horrid triple digit weather,
Duri has released their info on their Fall/Winter '09 "Rags to Riches" color collection to give me something to look forward to:
They are releasing 12 new colors, with great names, in two separate launches - one in September and one in November:

Let me tell you about the best wearing nail polish I have sincerely ever tried -
Dashing Diva Polishes.
I was given the opportunity to try out polishes from an upcoming collection from them (more on that in a sec), and I chose "Central Park After Dark", which I went and had applied in a great mani/pedi after noon with one of my besties. The girl didn't do anything special when applying the polish - used an
Orly base coat and then a
Poshe top coat. It looked really good. And then I just went about my daily business of being me.
This pic is day *8*, no chips and hardly any tip wear. The only thing I had done at this point was put a coat of
Seche Vite on day 4, as just a precaution. At this point I was curious how this was going to go - if the regrowth would out run the tip wear. It actually did, if you don't count the chip I got on the 10th day from running into a door. Ow.
Seriously, the wear of these Big 3 Free polishes is crazy good. I was wearing a color from their upcoming collection honoring New York, the "Manhattan Collection":
My friend got a pedi with "NYPD Blue" the same day, and it lasted without any problem until her next appt, 2 weeks later, without ANY thing put on it in the meantime.
You can get many other colors on their site now, with the Manhattan Collection appearing soon. Or if you happen to be in NYC, stop in one of their pretty pink salons and get one of their colors on your nails ASAP.
