OPI vs The world

Lately beauty bloggers have been all abuzz with the very real possibility that OPI will only be available to them in stores at inflated prices as etailers face legal ramifications for selling us this polish favorite at a reasonable rate. In a mad panic I recently ordered a bunch online feeling like I had to know what all the fuss is about. Verdict: It's just regular nail polish, it didn't give me magic powers and it certainly didn't glow in the dark or do anything else spectacular.

However the colors are lovely so I thought I would investigate some suitable dupes for OPI's Hong Kong line. Although they are not exact dupes, they will most definitely save you a lot of dosh
OPI Meet Me on the Star Ferry- BYS You're Hired (Shimmery purple)
OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui- BYS Blue Bang (Cream cobalt blue)
OPI Hot and Spicy- BYS Matte Coral (Cream Coral)
OPI Dim Sim Plum- Ulta3 Eighties Fuchsia (Cream Fuchsia)
OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender- BYS Mauve on Up or Sportsgirl Nail It in Lavender (Cream Lavender)
OPI Pearl of Wisdom- BYS Coconut Ice (White with shimmery pink)
OPI Jade is the New Black- Sportsgirl Nail it in Neptune (OPI is cream dark green, Neptune is shimmery but same shade of green)
OPI A Good Mandarin is Hard to Find- Sportsgirl Nail It in Tangerine (Cream hot orange)
OPI Chopsticking to my Story- Ulta3 Bamboo (Cream orangey brown- Ulta3 Bamboo is much more similar to OPI's Out of this World but all are in the same family
OPI Red My Fortune Cookie- Ulta3 Fire (Cream bright red)

So there you have it ladies! now go and spend without the major buyers remorse or credit card burn!
