This got me thinking... the last time I went to get my nails filled in, I took a look at the OPI polishes because they had a BEAUTIFUL collection. I didn't see some of the things that are on your real OPI. Hmmm, this will make me want to inspect them the next time I go to the nail shop.

I just looked at my bottle of OPI Here Today..Aragon Tomorrow, well its fake. I'm sure some of the others I have are not authentic as well. Until I read this post, I didn't know. Thanks!!!

How come I went to get my nails done yesterday and they had a whole rack of FAKE OPI! I was too tickled! All I kept thinking about was this post!

I'm curious to know where you ladies purchased your polishes from?

Also, real OPI polishes have an "OPI" mark on the brush near the cap. =D

Thanks for posting.

well about the code bar, almost all my nail polish dont have the code bar
but i dont thiink so my OPI not fake because i but it at e tailers, ehere the Nail blogger reccomended
so ithink if you so really want to be sure it's real or not, tapke a look on the brush theres a OPI mark there,,

well..i jus bot an OPI polish
and i cud jus tell the difference as soon as i applied it
the consistency was bad
then i noticed the double label n other things u have mentioned
thnx , n yea its uper fake

There are some fakes out there, trust me you can tell, but this article really does not give enough evidence to prove its point. Real OPI polishes will have a stronger, slightly thicker bottle than fake ones. You can sometimes tell by the font of the labels, if it is not even throughout the bottle, it is a fake indeed. Many believe that there is no such thing as fake based on location of distribution, but remember, we are talking for US products. Different countries do not use the exact same bottle specification as the US. So yes 8/10 times it is real, but the other 2/10 times it could be a fake. If you don't believe me, try dropping a bottle of OPI on a hard surface such as tile or hardwood floor, the "fakes" will tend to break a lot easier than the genuine OPI bottles. It's not that hard to make fake OPI's. Resellers tend to buy one bottle and replicate it as close as they can. Only concern is the codes that are printed, unless OPI has a Key Generator, these "fakes" can make up any # as long as it follows OPI's.

thanks for posting! I never knew fake OPI nail polishes existed! I'll be more careful when purchasing mine! Love your blog had to subscribe...check mine out if you like it please do the same
