Need to find OPI My Private Jet

[littlepickle]

My boyfriend's sister really really wants this polish, she says she thinks it may be discontinued. Can any of you lovely people offer any suggestions?
Her birthday's coming up and she's quite a competitive person, quite a dominant personality.. so uh.. I kinda want to impress her *blush*

It is discontinued but you can still find it all over ebay for a reasonable price

Which version were you after? The holo or normal? The holo version is MUCH prettier, but very hard to find. I was in my DJs a few months back MPJ was still in stock (newer version), its cheaper on ebay though - try maiandjays

^^
I wish i had the holo version

Its beyond gorgeous in the photos i've seen

 

[panda0410]

Me too!! I originally bought MPJ thinking it was all holo, then realised after I got it that it wasnt the same

 

[littlepickle]

Ooo, I'm not sure

I better check!

I just did some research and there is the version with the brown holographic, charcoal holographic, and the normal polish

I have it, It's not a holo its a shimmer, The original had holo glitter through it & the newer batch has more of a silver shimmer through it so it looks like graphite.

Trans design has it on their site (the newer version)

I ordered MPJ from Transdesign and ended up with the brown holo. I'm not too upset because I lucked into Color Club Revvvolution (along with Wild at Heart) recently, which is a black base with holo.

Just ordered it from Nailetc as the international shipping was phenomenonally (sp?) cheaper - Transdesign wanted to charge $18? Have any of you used Nailetc before?

I believe there are 3 or 4 versions of MPJ floating around. The original is amazing and if you can find a seller using a an actual photo of it on Ebay instead of a stock one you should be able to pick it up. The e tailors like 8ty8 and transdesign are going to be hit or miss. Most have the graphite sparse glitter version.

Just out of curiosity - why are there multiple versions of this polish? Different releases?

I have a bottle that I bought I *think* when this was first released. How do I know what "version" it is?

 

[panda0410]

LOL, because the holo version is TDF, like a rainbow in a bottle! The non holo versions are rather plain by comparison

I dont know why there are diff versions though, I bought what I thought was the holo from a stock pic showing exactly that, what I got was the norm version

 

[MzzRach]

Mine looks like an intense multi-coloured rainbow of fine shimmer/glitter in an inky base - is that the "original"?

 

[panda0410]

Ummm, Lara did an awesome swatch of the holo version here ~

Yes, mine looks exactly like that. Gosh, I had no idea that this polish was such a hot item! I haven't even worn mine yet.

Pickle - apologies for hijacking your thread!

 

[littlepickle]

No worries! I had no idea there were different versions either, so it will be interesting to see which polish my boyfriend's sister ends up with

 

[purrtykitty]

Super lame of OPI to release three different versions. They need to release the original. It's by far the best.

Ugh...now you ladies have seriously made me want the original holo version of this; the pics are gorgeous!!

I know, I had no idea I had such a hidden gem in my polish stash. I'm going to use it for my next pedicure, even though it's not really "springlike".
