OPI 100,000 Fan Giveaway
OPI is trying to reach 100,000 Facebook followers by the end of the December 2010. To help with this goal, they are holding a contest in which 100 winners will get their hands on 6 of OPI's retired colors that will be "returning from the vault".
In addition to the 3 colors listed on the press release info I received, which were Kinky In Helsinki, Smokin' in Havana, and Parlez-Vous OPI, the giveaway will also include HooDoo VooDoo, Cheyenne Pepper, and Sahara Sapphire. Click here to go directly to OPI's giveaway; make sure you become a FB follow as well, as I don't know if they'll honor the giveaway if they don't get the 100,000 followers. I encourage you to become a fan of OPI on Facebook. I really appreciate it when a company has a strong presence on a social media site, and OPI is one of the major players. I think this is a great giveaway, and I really appreciate OPI opening up the vault to 100 lucky winners, but...
and this is me just bitching... Like last year's Colorcopia collection, which was made up of HTF re-releases (and just happened to include Kinky in Helsinki and Sahara Sapphire), the ones they are including are a little lackluster, IMO. Don't get me wrong, Kinky In Helsinki and Parlez-Vous OPI are amazing and worth a re-release, but both of these are fairly easy to get on eBay (meaning not crazily inflated) and at etailers with a good stock of d/c'd OPIs. You'd think they would have included more sought-after colors. I mean... hell... one bottle of La Boheme recently went for $80 on eBay. Include that, OPI. Or holo MPJ, or VSB or (my personal #1 OPI lemming) Hey Vito is My Car Red-Y. Don't say "we are opening our fault" and then make it the gateway to snoresville, okay? /bitching :P

i'm going to complain in your post..you know what's worst? the fact that this contest is only open to people residing in the US yet it's for 100 000 followers. i'm pretty sure several of the people who follow opi are not from the US. They should then make it 100 000 followers from the US . geesh.
sorry, im just bitter i can't enter =(
