OPI Metro Chic BACK IN STOCK! *UPDATED*

Though it’s been backordered for weeks, Sephora by OPI’s popular Metro Chic color is FINALLY back in stock today at sephora.com. If you’ve been waiting for this “dark smoke” color, snap it up now for $9/bottle.

Personally, I got tired of waiting and settled for OPI’s You Don’t Know Jacques, a similar smoky color with a hint of violet. As much as I do like the gray creme finish, I am now on the hunt for a shimmery charcoal gray nail polish.

So, if you have a frosted charcoal gray that you like, clue me in!

UPDATE: Now, an hour later, Metro Chic is “out of stock” again. Hope you got yours! It’s currently selling for $30+ a bottle on eBay.

UPDATE 9/26/08 9:14 a.m. CDT: Metro Chic is back again (I just ordered two bottles), but it may not be for long. So hustle, hustle, hustle: Metro Chic

UPDATE 9/27/08: …And gone again.

UPDATE 9/30/08 12:37 a.m. CDT: Got a “Back in Stock” e-mail at 12:19 a.m. By the time I started to post this, 17 minutes later, it’s out of stock again. Crazy.

UPDATE 10/10/08 10:41 a.m. CDT: Another “Back in Stock” e-mail at 12:12 a.m. And now, 10 hours later, it’s still in stock. Hurry, hurry!

UPDATE 10/14/08: It’s still in stock at sephora.com, and I actually saw it on the shelf at my local Sephora store. Is the Metro Chic madness over?

Sephora by OPI

I love OPI nail colors, but I don’t love that when I find a color I like, they discontinue it (e.g. At Your Quebec & Call and Glacier Bay Blues from their Canadian collection.)

On my toenails, but no longer in stores.

So, I probably shouldn’t get too attached to any of the new colors in the Sephora by OPI collection, exclusive to Sephora stores and Sephora.com.

For example, I should just ignore Metro Chic, a purple-gray that reminds me of the perfect shade of grape bubblegum and is ALREADY out of stock at Sephora.com. And I shouldn’t take a second look at Never Enough Shoes (it’s even the perfect name for me), which is black with multi-color glitter. And I should continuously avert my eyes from I’m With Brad, which Sephora describes as “shimmering wine over dark coffee,” an excellent shade for autumn.

No word on how quickly these will disappear and disappoint me, but for now, each shade is $9, only at Sephora.
