I'd describe Metro Chic as a muddy grey-ish purple--it really depends on the light, as you can see in the different pics above. At first I didn't understand the hype about Metro Chic, but once I tried it out I loved how it was subtle and work appropriate. It matches with almost everything and it's a little more unique than the traditional neutrals.
Unfortunately, I was less than thrilled with the streaky application, which I thought was atypical for Sephora by OPI polishes. I don't know if it was the formula or the super skinny brush, but I got so frustrated I decided to go on a quest for a drugstore dupe with the same color, smoother formula, better brush, and lower price. More details after the jump.
