So I just recently went here middle of August and they have raised their prices for their OPI nail polish. They are 4.99 but I saw a deal that if you buy 10 you get 2 free which is a great deal considering that their retail prices range from 8.50-9.50. But hey I would rather pay $5 than the full price. I would say they have more variety of OPI than what they carry for Orly or China Glaze.
My biggest concern was if they were real or fake. When I told someone "heyy there's this place in chinatown that sells OPI for cheap!" they would respond, "yea but is it real." I've researched how you can determine if an OPI bottle is fake or not. The real OPIs have the following:
- two little silver balls in the bottle (I usually tilt it horizontal and see if 2 appear at the bottom)
- towards the bottom of the bottle there are numbers that are in black and they should match the sticker at the bottom of the bottle.
- open up the bottle and look to see if on the brush it has OPI written on it.
there are more ways to determine if real or fake but those are the ones I usually check for and they passed all of them! This place even has the new collections that OPI comes out with but they must not keep many in stock because the color I was looking for from the most recent collection (Touring America) was sold out.
I marked off one star because I was hoping they would have Essie, but noo they didn't. I did see that they have a whole bunch of gel polish.
Definitely heading back here to feed my nail polish addiction.
Oh the place is in the parking lot of Big Lots and directly across the street from the original hot and juicy location!
