OPI "Have You Seen My Limo?"

Hey, kids! Happy Saturday! Gosh, it's such a beautiful day! I've already been garage sale-ing and have gotten all my errands over with for the morning. Now, time to enjoy this day off!


I'm sorry I've been kind of MIA for the past couple (maybe few?) weeks. I had an issue with one of my nails, and ended up cutting all of them down to a much shorter length. I didn't think they were pretty enough for pictures, so I've been waiting for them to get back to normal before blogging again.


Earlier this week, I purchased my first bottle of nail polish from eBay. I've been lemming OPI's "Have You Seen My Limo?" for quite a while, and I found it for a pretty good price on eBay, so I decided to just buy it so I could check that lemming off my list. Well, it arrived yesterday, and I immediately had to try it out. It was everything I had hoped it would be - a dark vampy duochrome polish that didn't look too black, but didn't look too purple. 


I'm a little bummed about this eBay purchase for one reason: the bottle of OPI I received had it's serial number etched off, and is missing the bar code sticker on the bottom (the 2nd sticker with the color name on it is still attached). I don't doubt that this bottle is authentic, it just makes me mad that the seller advertised it as new and undamaged, when it is, in fact, damaged (in my opinion). I've learned from this experience that I should always ask questions before I buy/bid on eBay.


Although I'm not happy with the actual bottle, I am thrilled with the color inside! This might be one of my new favorite colors (it hasn't made my Top 10 list, but it's close!).

  3. Love the colour - I've had hit and miss with eBay. I've had fakes, I've had half used bottles that were advertised as new [yick] but on the flip I've gotten some good bargains of things that I can't get hold of otherwise
