I bought one backup on ebay (Merry Midnight) from someone who was cutting back on their nail polish collection, and it's real. Although I do think I have one fake, Hey! Get In Lime!, because the color isn't "limey" enough, but it's probably just a bad batch haha.<br /><br />I was wondering what the bottle on the far left in this photo is?

They are real OPIs but that's just a difference I've noticed as everything else is the same.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732028264170732529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453635140925491261.post-30769300717255304592010-05-24T21:12:12.760+02:002010-05-24T21:12:12.760+02:00Oooh - now I want to check all my bottles...but I&...Oooh - now I want to check all my bottles...but I'm at work!

There was this other one,I gotten it last month I think, the cap was smooth and not geared the bottom label was not green but monochrome, but there was a peel here suggestion and i peeled it off but it kinds of stick to the second label, so some part of the label teared off, am I making any sense? So I am not sure if it's fake or real! I hope it is real, I gotten it at transdesign.com All my OPIs are from there, and all of them are real except this one, I suspect it's not real. /=<br />Help?Christinehttp://oxygen_debt.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453635140925491261.post-48807611163694032932010-05-21T17:40:08.368+02:002010-05-21T17:40:08.368+02:00Thanks for sharing :)Thanks for sharing :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04225984659660122508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453635140925491261.post-64833327221046632192010-05-21T16:07:17.486+02:002010-05-21T16:07:17.486+02:00Thanks for this post, very helpful!

Opening Night Gold and Silver Snowflakes both had lowercase content information, small OPI-less brush and 3 warning symbols. I'm not sure if that means they're fake as they're pretty old (2003 and my SS is from 2002). I've found this promo picture from the Summer Splash collection from 2004 which also show the lowercase lettering: http://www.aveyou.com/ProductImages/summersplashbottles.jpg<br /><br />I've also seen promo pics on OPI's nailstudio thingy showing several old polishes with the lowercase text. Like Gargantuan Green Grape and Ladies & Magenta-men are both from 2005 but GGG shows the text like it is now whereas L&M-m have the lowercase version. I guess they reuse old bottles and just put a different sticker on the bottle.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889296833030890515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453635140925491261.post-20555738262635198712010-05-18T01:45:03.465+02:002010-05-18T01:45:03.465+02:00This is a bit random, but I love the color of the ...This is a bit random, but I love the color of the brush pic you showed.
