Health & Beauty » ✰ Essie & a random weird OPI 02/05/12

Pin It

Another package that I ordered out of boredom. Two of these were actually on my wish list, the others I added in because I didn’t want to settle with only the two.

What I ordered:
Going incognito
Mesmerize
Sexy divide
OPI Coney Island cotton candy

I’ve never liked Going incognito but something about the picture I saw on Ebay told me I should maybe try it. Won’t hurt really. I have a feeling I’ll like it which is weird considering I wasn’t so fond of it to start off with. If not, I can always layer glitter on top because that can change my opinion about some polishes sometimes.

Mesmerise is one that quite a few people talked about, mainly because of the name change. Initially it should have been something like mesmerized, that doesn’t bother me so much though. It’s the colour I’m more concerned about.

I really liked the swatch I saw of sexy divide and I’m pretty sure I sure this one somewhere on Luuux a long time ago. Maybe, I’m not sure. It’s purple as well! I think I only own one dark purple so far because I see more of the brighter ones when I’m purchasing.

Now here’s the weird one out of the batch. Coney Island cotton candy, an OPI which looks highly suspicious. I wanted some sort of sheer pinkish nude colour and this hit the spot. Looked like what I was looking for when I received it except it looks and feels a little weird. I’ve rolled it in my hands a hundred times and I feel like it weighs a little less than my other 15ml OPI’s.

Not only that the bottom glass bit seems a bit thicker than the other ones too. I remember reading on some other sites before that one of the ways to detect whether an OPI is fake is see if they have two steel balls in the polish. This one has it, a little bit bigger than the ones I’ve seen in my other polishes though. I think I’d still continue to use it, the other ones I’ve bought from the supplier doesn’t seem so fake so this one might be the bad egg out of the batch? I don’t know.

What do you guys think of the polishes I bought? What’s the recent Essie shade you bought?

Arielle Sophia: OPI is the brand that most people try to make fakes of because they're so popular. I hope this actually isn't a fake though. I quite like that kind of sheer nude colour too.

I never thought they could fake polishes, but I have never tried purchasing my nails polishes online or through ebay. I do really like Conney Island Cotton Candy, I love pinks like that!

Marie Lisa Tran: I hope it's not, the seller I've bought from usually gives me OPI's that look authentic at least. I think I remember seeing that post of yours :P

Jane ♡: Definitely be careful, but I guess you're less likely to get a fake if you're buying them from the drugstores. Ebay is just full of them so it's best to research and check the sellers feedback.

Lyndsay PixiePolish: I have a feeling I'll like that one but I need to try it first. What?! You actually don't own this colour? Hope it comes in stock real soon.

Michelle Mai Huynh♡: haha yes, I've just been bottling up during the polish no buy period and now I'm going crazy on it. Going incognito doesn't look too bad actually. The reviews on ebay is mostly positive, not much about the authenticity. I've googled it but didn't find much

Wendy Smiles: It's more neutral and slightly sheer which makes me think elegant, simple or professional so I guess it's good for everyday wear or for work
