Sephora by OPI Rocker Chic Collection

I haven't seen a ton reviews or swatches of OPI's line of polishes for Sephora, like there are for China Glaze, the regular OPI line, etc.  Frankly, I think the colors OPI does for Sephora are wayyyyy better than those in its own regular line.  I'll gladly pay the full $9 pricetag for these polishes, whereas I'm loathe to do so for OPI.  I find that there are a lot of unique colors in the Sephora line, and the formula is pretty much the same as the regular OPI, minus the pro-wide brush...which is fine by me since I have little fingers and nails.  Go figure, I'm five-nine, but with the hands of someone six inches shorter.  That must be why I never became a concert pianist.  Or, maybe because I couldn't sit still to practice for hours on end.  We'll just blame it on the hands and move on...


I only picked up four out of the nine (I think) polishes in this collection:  Just a Little Dangerous, Rock His World, Dating the Drummer, and Studs & Stilettos.


Swatches after the jump!

Just a Little Dangerous is described as a metallic amethyst.  It's amethyst alright, I just don't see the metallic.  I get amethyst with fine pink shimmer, which you really don't see unless flashes of unless you're in direct lighting.  The depth of the color is more accurate in the second picture, only it's not quite that .  This polish really reminds me of a purple version of OPI Ink.

Rock His World is a gorgeous cranberry cream.  The quintessential fall color, very sophisticated, and it has me all ready to swaddle myself in a cozy sweater.  It is similar to Zoya Riley which I featured in my Seasonal Selections, but not quite as pink. 

Dating the Drummer is a warm mahogany with supposedly holographic glitter.  The glitter is super pretty in this polish, but I don't think it's holographic.  I'd say more iridescent, as it flashes teal/violet and there are gold flakies in there, too.  The warm mahogany is spot on, though.  Reminds me of root beer...yum!

If Dating the Drummer is root beer, then Studs & Stilettos is cola.  It is a deep, dark brown with a smattering of silver shimmer.  Again, this is supposed to be metallic, and this actually looks metallic in the bottle, but on the nails, the fine shimmer nearly disappears.  Just enough shimmer peeks through and gives this brown a sophisticated touch.  Studs & Stilettos is my favorite of the bunch, and makes me crave Diet Coke!


These polishes are available in-store and online, and are $9 each.
