NOTD: Sephora by OPI – 212-Sephora

This is for you, Birgit! :D *smooch*

A week ago I was a bad bad nail polish addict and enabled my friend Birgit a bit to get Sephora by OPI’s 212-Sephora.
I am so sorry hun but I am sure you won’t regret this purchase. ♥

When I saw the first swatches of 212 I immediately fell in love. A dark olive nail polish with holo glitter AND opal flakes? Want! But then I hesitated because it was quite pricey on ebay in contrast to what I normally at a max spend on a nail polish. After a few weeks of thinking about it I finally caved and I am glad I did. :)

The application was perfect. As you can see these are my nails before I shortened them. *sniffs* :(

Have you purchased 212? 212 was my second Sephora by OPI nail polish (I haven’t played with my first one Absinthe Makes The Heart yet) and I am very pleased with it. If they wouldn’t be that expensive on ebay I would get more of them. :)

Yes it is, Michelle! In the end it was worth every cent. :)

It’s a beaut! I love it too! Love it so much more than Absinthe Makes the Heart (totally overrated IMHO).

Hmmm, I have it. I tried it on my pinky & was not in love with it. But never returned it – love Sephora’s return policy. Who knows perhaps I will give it a try.

If there is ever a Sephora OPI you want I can try to get it for you. If not by store then I can always order it. Let me know!!

Absinthe Makes The Heart looks gorgeous too but out of these two 212 definitely is the winner yes, emmajoy. *agrees* :)

Aww I am sorry that you don’t like 212 on you, Kaide. :(
Maybe you will like it more when you try it again?
Thank you so much for your offer! I’d love to get my hands on more of the Sephora by OPI nail polishes and if I have a list I will let you know. :)

Great polish!

Yes it is Suzanne. :)
I am looking forward to wear it again but it might not be before Spring 2011 because I just have too many other nail polishes I would like to wear too! :D
