O.p.i

[choseck]

I'm an NC20 in MAC standards (just to give you an inkling as to my coloring) so I'm fairly fair skinned. Just curious for those with similar coloring - or I guess really anyone! What are some of your favorite O.P.I brand nailpolish colors? I just bought 'OP -I Love This Color!' and I love it! I think it's going to be a great Fall color.

I really like this brand - so I would love to find other colors as well.

Thanks guys.

Where do you buy OPI?

It's the cheapest price-wise that I have found. Plus, they have super fast shipping.

Hmm the only beauty supply place around here is Sally Beauty Supply. Anyone seen it there?

And wow, they have such fun names! =)

I get mine at Ulta. I think thats pretty much the main place to get it - as well as salons, but I find that Ulta has a MUCH bigger selection.

Ugh, I KNEW I shouldn't have asked the question, now I want to go back to Ulta and buy more - a few of those I was looking at, I'll have to make sure to give them a closer look and probably buy a few. thanks!

I haven't been to Sally Beauty Supply in years - but if I recall, they do carry them!

Get a friend in the industry to buy them at trade prices for you. My OPI collection fills four drawers in a chest of drawers, as I get them at below trade prices.

That would be perfect. If only I had a friend in the industry - I'm addicted, I love the way these wear.

DAMN! I should have got some when I was in Florida at ULTA (there isn't one in my state).

Some regular nail salons sell OPI; just peruse your local places if you get a chance or call them. Sometimes, I think nail salons write in their Yellow Pages ad what they use.

I think Trade Secret sells it as well.

 

[CincyFan]

I have around 80-100 OPIs and I bought the majority of them online. The cheapest sellers are:

www.8ty8beauty.com
www.head2toebeauty.com
www.transdesign.com

They all ship for around $6, some do priority shipping for less. They ship international and send out within a business day. If you email them with any questions, all the sellers are quick to respond and very helpful.

Also, Trade Secret/Beauty Express & Regis clearance bins are great places to bargain shop. They clear out all the older collections starting at 20% off but eventually they get as low as 80% off. I stocked up on the Japanese collection that way.

This doesn't have much to do with OPI, BUTTT... What are some other good nail polish brands? My house is lacking so much self-prettiness items such as make up and nail polish so I don't know anything! Are mac polishes alright?

I also like China Glaze. I've only seen it locally in an independent beauty supply store that mainly sells to salons but there are several sites online that sell it.

I know they have a TON of nail polish, but I usually pass right by them and go straight to the hair dye, haha.
I'll stop by tomorrow and let you know what I find.

i have no experience with mac polishes but other than opi, china glaze, essie and creative nail design are all really good brands. those four are probably the most popular and used brands in the industry.
