I found a pale milky pink colour that looked pretty, it didn't state the colour but said it had never been used and the picture showed it in plastic packaging. A mini bidding war later and £8.50 from my paypal account left me the proud owner of an O.P.I polish..
A few days later, a package arrived and there was an unwrapped bottle of 'o.p.i polish' with faded writing on the bottle. I also noticed that the writing was really cheaply printed and chipped off easily, also the 'peelable' label on the bottom of the bottle didn't peel off it was just a single sticker.
I decided to have a little search for the colour on the label 'that's berry daring' and to my suprise pictures of a dark hot pink varnish started popping up and this confirmed my suspicion. I had just paid almost ten pound for a completely fake bottle of nail varnish, whatever's inside smells strongly of chemicals and barely shows up.
Just a warning, be careful of what you buy and don't always presume that everyone is as honest as you are!
oh you poor thing! I hate people who con other people out of their money GRRR another thing which I just noticed is that it's not Verais a Ougles, the french for nail varnish is VerNis a ONgles, so that shows that it's dodgy as well..:S xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a crappy thing to do I hope you complained to ebay x
ReplyDeleteOmg. I never even knew about fake OPI's :O Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I always get mine from Sally's or my local Spa, but i was thinking of buying one off ebay next week...not anymore i wont xx
ReplyDeleteThat is horrible, I hate it when things like that happen. Hope you complained! This is why im always scared of buying stuff off ebay just incase its not what it says on the tin so to speak hope you have luck finally getting anb O.P.I polish hunnie xxx

argh that must've been so annoying, everyone swears by "enchantedbeautyspot" and "beautyzone2007" so maybe you should check those out next time, dont be disheartened though :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of fake OPI's before! I've bought OPI of ebay and for much cheaper than that. Like Emma said above enchantedbeautyspot is very good.. That's where I've got mine before.
ReplyDeleteYou should contact the seller asking if it's fake xx
i agree with emma! stick to good sellers like enchantedbeautyspot and beautyzone2007. they sell opi, essie and china glaze for peanuts and everyting is genuine. i've ordered from them before and had no problems. sorry this happened to you x
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd heard of the reliable ebayers beforehand, I tried to return it but the person I brought it from said because they didn't 'state the name of the colour' it was my own fault and then claimed they had a no returns policy!
ReplyDeleteI gave you a blog award! http://girlysbeauty.blogspot.com/2011/01/stylish-blogger-award.html
ReplyDeleteThat really sucks! That happened to me last year with a set of fake Bobbi Brown makeup brushes. I wrote the seller and said I was going to report her and ended up getting my money back from her.
ReplyDeleteThen my sisters bought a friend a gps for her birthday but it never showed up and they found out the seller was a phoney. They reported it and ebay paid them back.
You should definitely report them
xxAlicia
That's awful! Sorry that had to happen to you - don't lose all faith in Ebay you can get authentic OPI from reliable sellers I usually use ttluvspolish or joliebeautysupply as my suppliers & its alot cheaper than $10!
