Certainly not $8.50 excited. I'm skipping that whole Summer Flutter collection. It's just kind of the same as CG glass-fleck or the Zoya Sparkles. So, pass. We'll see what other OPI collections I'll be passing in the future!Never Enough Nailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812595858366615363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731536467340848518.post-15555238173922856532010-06-09T06:06:39.091-04:002010-06-09T06:06:39.091-04:00Started wearing polish years ago to break the biti...Started wearing polish years ago to break the biting habit but since I found nail blogs? OMG, out of control, lol.<br /><br />OPI claims that they want to ensure quality control and can't with the filed off serial numbers on the Etailer bottles, but strangely enough Amazon and Target are still selling bottles with filed off serial numbers and OPI hasn't said a bloody word to them. In my opinion they just didn't want their product being sold by 'discount' sources because it's bad for their prestige >retch< (they're still getting their full cut since the stuff is being rerouted from licensed sources), and while Target and Amazon are too big to threaten, the little guys aren't. Target also charges $8.50 a bottle. You can find quite a few on Amazon for $2-$3. I think OPI is vastly overrated (I only have two because they chip so badly on natural nails) but if I see a color I MUST have, I'll get it at Amazon.

Before then I only owned like, two colors that I would wear for special occassions; a dark cranberry shimmer and a pale coral shimmer, both by Color Girl. When I found out they were discontinued, I started looking online for dupes, and I found the nail polish blogs (I found ALU first)... and thus about 1,000 lemmings were born! Then I found the e-tailers, and once I got started I couldn't stop, much to the chagrin of my husband, so I put myself on a fixed monthly budget. It's been going that way ever since.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911068884868680964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731536467340848518.post-91515866944687512682010-05-17T22:24:54.104-04:002010-05-17T22:24:54.104-04:00Anna- at least nail polish is a relatively cheap w...Anna- at least nail polish is a relatively cheap way to indulge in retail therapy, right?

Nailetc. still has them up, I don't know for how long. I hate paying $8.50 for OPI.<br /><br />Claire- Thanks for sharing! That's exactly how I view polish- a treat! It's a small thing, but I always feel better when I polish on. I've discovered that blogging is a great way to share your love with people who actually care, rather than boring your significant other LOL.Never Enough Nailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812595858366615363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731536467340848518.post-8540546849437268932010-05-15T23:10:33.667-04:002010-05-15T23:10:33.667-04:00I always liked nail polish but I started getting o...I always liked nail polish but I started getting obsessed about 9 years ago when I spent a year studying in Spain. We had a shop near my house, like a dollar tree type place, that sold really cheap nail polishes, I stocked up every other day, I loved the place! After that I started buying OPI online, moved onto Jessica, Zoya and China Glaze and then started reading the blogs. <br />I haven't been a day without nail polish for 9 years...I love it! It's such a treat and I still get as excited by it as I always have. I love it and make no excuses.<br />I'm going to start my own blog now to share my obsession with other people.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223889252963162740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731536467340848518.post-37557480578351006422010-05-15T23:01:15.731-04:002010-05-15T23:01:15.731-04:00Yes, I just placed a big OPI order on transdesign....Yes, I just placed a big OPI order on transdesign. I believe there was an issue with OPI wanting to control their stock, and ensuring there weren't fakes in the market. Essie has also gone full price on transdesign as well. I'll basically only be buying China Glaze online now. Kinda sad, and I probably won't be getting much full price OPI now either.Fiona Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111797316508179369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731536467340848518.post-92193354436840702262010-05-15T22:33:26.092-04:002010-05-15T22:33:26.092-04:00Ahhh that's really interesting.

Thanks for the info.<br />And also thanks for sharing about what started your love for polish! I definitely inherited my mom's interest in polish as well! It's like a rule that we don't wear open toe shoes without polish on our toes!Never Enough Nailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812595858366615363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731536467340848518.post-3024899521129105412010-05-15T20:32:20.097-04:002010-05-15T20:32:20.097-04:00OPI is suing e-tailers.

I wrote about it on my blog and there is a comment there with better articles if you are interested.<br /><br />Anyways, my polish obsession was set off by my mother! She painted my nails when I was a baby and we always had a large collection of polishes, it was always a love for me all my life but in the past year it has really surged ahead on the list to be my biggest obsession!Dainty Darling Digitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002282137874904717noreply@blogger.com
