Sephora by OPI Nail Polish: RUN WITH IT


You've Got Nail!

Sephora by OPI launched yesterday, and I, intrepid tip-ster (and terrible nail painter), am testing out one of the new and exclusive polish shades per day. Does that make me a nail-order bride? Well, no. But, it does make it OK for me to crack un-funny jokes playing off words that rhyme with nail. So bear with me, and my forthcoming Zoolander jokes (male model...nail model).

Anyway, yesterday we gave you a glimpse of Metro Chic, the editor-fave, skyscraper shade that's an on-trend blend of gray, violet and khaki. Today, we bring you my second favorite polish shade, called Run with It!. It's also gray, but in a lighter, sprightlier shade of dove, infused with microscopic sparkles for a finish that comes off solid, yet very reflective.

At first, I was afraid it would prove to be a "death gray;" you know, that shade of gray that zaps all signs of life from your skin tone. In fact, it's the exact opposite. I have medium skin with yellow-undertones, the coolness and lightness of this color makes my skin look tanner (same goes for darker skin tones). Conversely, it will work well on lighter skin tones, as a pretty alternative to fall's darker grays.

I shot my nails below at 3 different vantage points, so you can get an idea of it's finish and tones in different lighting situations.

And, check back on Monday for my next review...Sephora by OPI Nail Polish in Never Enough Shoes.

In yesterdays post you called the colour metro chic, today you said it was gamine gray. Which one is it?

Laura Kenney said...

thanks for pointing that out. It's Metro Chic and I'll correct it in the article. There's a lot of gray in my life lately, and that's the name of one of our spreads in the fall catalog. oops!
