Since the Spa Day at Ella Bache, I've had an overwhelming need to increase my OPI collection from 2 to...well as many as I could get. My pedi is still perfect 10 days on!
Yesterday I happened to come across a kiosk selling them for just under $12/bottle. I got 5. They didn't have as good a range as I hoped and several colours I had on my wishlist from online googling simply didn't look the same in real life.
From left to right: It's all Greek to Me, Louvre Me Louvre Me Not, Melon of Troy, Overexposed in South Beach and Aphrodite's Pink Nightie.
The colours in the photo don't look anything like the real deal! They're MUCH nicer in person.
Moving along to today...We gathered at Annette's place since she found a place near her selling OPI for $10! Just as we're about to pull into to the carpark she informs us that at least that's what the post on a forum from 2008 said!
Obviously no nail outlet anywhere so dejected we go home and cook lunch. I investigated the matter further since I wasn't going home without nail polish! More thorough reading showed the place had moved and was still very close by.
Success!!!!!!! OPI for $11/bottle. Very comparable to the USA after you take postage into account. They also had other brands like China Glaze, Essie, Orly, Seche etc and all manner of nail art accessories.
Below is the combined result of our trip there.
