Sephora by OPI Metro Chic
Written by Shamini on January 27, 2010 – 9:27 PM
One of the popular nail polish colors nowadays is Sephora by O·P·I “Metro Chic”. As the name implies it’s sold only at Sephora, and therefore not available to a lot of us. Thankfully there are a few other options like eBay, a CP* or even using a redirecting service offering some kind of “personal shopper” like MyUS or other similar companies. I’ve been watching a few YouTube videos where this nail polish has been mentioned several times as a must-have color, but I never thought it would be a color for me. Sephora describes it as a “dark smoke with a hint of purple”, and it’s categorized as a gray color. To me it’s a lot more taupe, with a purplish undertone, and I really like it.
Last week I got a sample bottle of CND “Cinch My Corset” from a very sweet girl on the Wave. She had gotten the sample with an order, tried it and decided that she didn’t want it herself. Her description of the color was that it looked like diarrhea. Not a very flattering description at all, but something made me wonder if a taupe color like that would look good with my complexion, so I asked her if I could have it. Just a couple of days later it arrived in my mailbox, and naturally I had to swatch it immediately. I instantly had to disagree with the somewhat amusing description, because it didn’t look like diarrhea at all! It’s a lot less purplish than “Metro Chic”, and reminds me slightly of milk chocolate.
I had no other choice but to go ahead and add another bottle of nail polish to my collection, the gorgeous CND “Cinch My Corset” in full size. Thank heavens for eBay, I say! I’ll be adding some photos of these two colors shortly, also with a small description of each brand and how they apply.

Nå hadde jeg jo egentlig bestemt meg for å ikke blogge mer om makeup i dagboka mi, og jeg har sånn halvveis fått opp en annen blogg som etterhvert kommer til å renne over av makeup- og shoppingsnakk. Så dumpet det ned en liten pakke i postkassen min som inneholdt en aldri så liten skatt, nemlig M·A·C Hello Kitty Kouture Sheer Mystery Powder i fargen Medium Plus. Disse superflotte pudderdåsene er i polert sølv med omrisset av Hello Kitty i hvite og rosa Swarovski-krystaller på lokket, ..og koster selvsagt deretter. Jeg har siklet på denne siden HK-kolleksjonen kom ut, men jeg syns $90 var i overkant mye å betale for et pudder. Selvsagt er det jo emballasjen man betaler mest for, men likevel – det er landeveisrøveri. For en ukes tid siden kom jeg over en salgsannonse med denne vesle skatten til under halve prisen! Jeg hadde dessuten handlet med selgeren tidligere, så jeg visste at hun var til å stole på – og slik ble skatten min!
