I understand how they can be frustrated when they've developed a line of polishes and people are making false comments about them, but they've taken completely the wrong route in trying settle the problem. <br /><br />I was never much interested in their polishes anyway, and I really didn't understand the rave reviews they got on ALU (the colors aren't unique and the prices are too high for some random brand I've never heard of), but I would certainly never buy from them now.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551976181761103171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453635140925491261.post-88584215152212122782010-07-19T22:47:07.038+02:002010-07-19T22:47:07.038+02:00@kelliegonzo I don't mind at all hun!

I agree that the bottles and some of the colors are suspicious looking, but I trust ALU and if she says they don't, then they don't. That said, it's stupid marketing on their part to use such similar packaging and they could have done a lot more to protect their image with an outright denial of the accusation than a law suit.<br /><br />Priti is a different story.

Did they seriously think Sara would simply take the posts down & keep quiet about the situation?<br /><br />Its become irrelevant whether or not DC made their product or they were defamed or not, they've now got 2 days of rampant speculation & negative blogging that will never disappear (& neither will Sara's posts due to the wonders of caching & screen caps) to deal with on Monday am.

She made no claims, she stated nothing as fact, as far as I can tell. She simply took pictures of the two brands side by side, stated that to her, they looked identical.<br /><br />That is an undeniable fact- to her, they looked identical. It's not a statement of where the polishes came from, or anything about the company in question. The fact that they've jumped in with a cease and desist seems to me to imply that they're feeling guilty and wanting to get it out of the public eye before too many people can realize that hey, maybe it IS true...<br /><br />I spent quite a bit of time on the two websites, comparing swatches. I didn't find a single color from Ginger + Liz that didn't have an extremely similar version on the Diamond Cosmetics site. I also dug through the private label section, and sure enough, there are bottles and caps that look extremely similar, down to the precise amount the bottle holds and the funny little reflection on the sides of the bottles.<br /><br />I will say this- while I don't see myself spending $12 on a bottle of nail polish anytime soon, I just might order from Diamond Cosmetics. They seem to have some really good polish.Layniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717662043271074753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453635140925491261.post-52286577007731835052010-07-18T11:43:51.991+02:002010-07-18T11:43:51.991+02:00@*~ JuLiAnnE ~* You can still be honest.
