Crystal File 023: Sephora by OPI Run With It

Wow! Such a unique and beautiful color! A soft dove grey with silver and gold shimmer which imparts a subtle luminescence to the polish. I have to admit, its a rather odd color to see on my nails after having worn vampies for so many consecutive days, but gorgeous never-the-less.

I have to say, application was a nightmare at first, way too thick and gloopy. After much thinning, however, i got the polish to a consistency that was much more agreeable. I was a bit disappointed given that the Sephora by OPI polishes retail for more than their OPI retail counterparts, i expected flawless application. Also, the first SOPI i tried (Never Enough Shoes, see previous post) applied very nicely, so i was surprised that Run With It performed so poorly until i thinned the heck out of it. At any rate, the thinning, shaking, swatching, thinning some more, etc.....All ended up being worth it, as the color is super unique and lovely.















Do you love it? Or perhaps not so much? I definitely do, although i wanted to hate both of these Sephora by OPI polishes, just so that i could say the extra $ wasn't justified. I still maintain that unless the color is quite unique, you can likely find a less expensive counterpart in the regular OPI retail line. If, however, the color seems unique, it is probably worth picking up :)
