New LE Colors: Sephora 212, Ocean Love Potion

Sephora introduces two fabulous limited edition nail colors by OPI. First up, Sephora 212. This must have shade was created in celebration of the new Sephora 5 Times Square flagship store. This glamorous variation on black channels the essence of the exclusively fabulous 212 area code.

Before I get to the details, I'm super excited to sport a new black polish. It's been so long..way too long, since a black polish last graced my nails and I'm loving it. Espically since I just cut them ultra short.   

212 has every varation a gal or guy loves - glitter, holo, and flakies. The base is more of a light smokey black with gorgeous gold glitter. You'll need a good three coats if you prefer a darker black base. In my swatches above, I've used three coats, which I prefer. Plus, more bling can't be a bad thing!

With all the different varations of 212, the application dries to a semi gritty finish. But nothing a topcoat can't fix.

Check out Ocean Love Potion below. 

Sephora by OPI Ocean Love Potion is a sensuous shade inspired by the gorgeous meeting of sea and sky in Capri. If you love Misa's Dirty, Sexy, Money and Essie's Greenport you'll love this new ocean green from Sephora.

The application was flawless. Each coat flowed perfectly on my nails.

Here's a comparison to give you an idea where Ocean Love Potion falls. Dirty, Sexy, Money isn't an exact dupe, but similar. Sephora's is just a tad bit darker.

212 and Ocean Love Potion are available online only at Sephora for a limited time only. Hope your having a wonderful Tuesday!
