Swatch: Sephora by OPI "On Stage"

Hey all!

Here's my latest swatch, for Sephora by OPI's grey-purple color "On Stage".

(indoor light)

(sunlight)

Originally I bought this color as a substitute for the color "Call Your Mother", another grayed, muted purple shade. Since my local Sephora was out of that, I thought "On Stage" would be a good dupe. I'm a little undecided about this color. It's darker than that of "Call Your Mother", and though I thought that would be no big deal, I like it significantly less. It's just sort of dull, but not dull in a cool, avant-garde way.

I would say it's appropriate for adults, and could even be worn to work since it's not bright or too eye-catching. Consistency-wise, one coat was too thin and uneven, but two seemed just right. If you look at my nails up close however, the polish is still uneven in places. Hey, maybe you'll like it, but I'll still be on the prowl for "Call Your Mother".

Hope this helps! Feel free to comment your opinions or request what color out of my collection you'd like me to swatch next.

Swatch: Sephora by OPI "Domestic Goddess"


As promised, here is the first of many nail polish swatches to come. This is the color "Domestic Goddess" (the original, not matte version) from the Sephora by OPI collection.

I really love this polish, it's fun, bright, and works well with my light, yellow/beige-toned skin color. It's described as a "bright grape", on the Sephora website, which is pretty accurate. I'll definitely be using this color often. Hope this is helpful!

(Also, sorry for the crappy nail job, I was in a hurry to get to work and had to do a quick patch up. The swatches to come will be much better quality, since I'll take the photos right when I apply the polish!)
