New LE Colors: Sephora 212, Ocean Love Potion

Sephora 212 limited edition nail polish

Sephora area code 212 nail polish swatch

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

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.

Green nail polish comparisons

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!

Both of those colours are to die for! Thanks for giving us a photo comparison for Ocean Love Potion and the Essie and Misa polishes - you read my mind.

    OMG!!!!I am freaking out.......I love these colors. I haven't noticed them in the stores, but now I will definitely be on the lookout.

    I found these today at K-Mart as I searched for makeup and they looked like super fun colors but I'm on a nail-polish ban for another 2 months, lol

    Hi Steph - I had been looking for these for three weeks and finally found them at CVS. I couldn't resist and purchased all of them. They also had the Nail Art pens which I've never tried of any type and thought I may experiment with one of them. I didn't see the Neon colors but I'm waiting for those as well. Thanks for the swatches!

    bought cic today - darker on me than your photos looked on my computer. But a nice change from my usual mannequin nails & mauves. Just discovered nail polish blogs & am getting inspired to try other colors! Have bought a green but need to dig out a different purse first because my day use one would match my nails - not a look I think would work for me!

    I'm definitely loving this new feature. Most of my polishes have to cost me between $1 and $2 each for major haulin'. Right now I have Night Prowl, and I love it. Thank you for this!

    I just ran out and got it. I swatched it and posted it on my site. I also did a comparison swatch. You should go look http://crystalpolish.blogspot.com/2010/02/drugstore-adventures-and-color-raves.html Thanks for posting and letting me know about this amazing polish.

    I love this color! But I didn't see it at Walgreens today so I'll have to stalk the store. I really like the green colors too. For $1.99, I will probably get them all. :)
