Ok.. so i assume all nail polish lovers knows about this but for those who dont, let me just sum this up for you.Firstly the most shocking and scarry news is that OPI has sued a number of e-tailers for copyright infringement. Basically it means that online stores like Transdesign, or 8ty8Beauty and so on who were not an authorized OPI retailers were sued for the copyright thingy. In other words its illegal as what they have been doing is gettig OPI for really really cheap price and selling it for a fraction of the price or way cheaper then retail price without being the authorized distributor ($17.99 vs $4.50?) [where do they get that so cheap price anyway! i want!]
Now the 2nd problem is i dont know where do we stand, when it comes to Nail Galore. On one hand we are a salon listed as OPI Malaysia distributor [click here to find out; under Sarawak] and on the other hand i don't know or understand this copyright thingy! anyone can enlighten me? i'm not a lawyer for god sake! Damn always tried to follow the legal way and always seem to reach a T-junction:-( wuhuhuhu:-( I just hope things will be ok. If at all anything happens [touch wood!] don't worry, the swatches will continue:-)
Plus i really hope transdesign and all will still be operating. Ive always wanted to purchase other brands from them for this site but it looks like we'll have to put that on hold as it seems they are no longer able to use the USPS to ship the polishes thus really hiking the shipping costs to something beyond affordable. Far beyond. imagine usd 45 to usd 200! crazy!
Gosh! Hope everything goes fine all over again. May God bless all the nail polish freaks like us! Sorry for the long ranting.
love
Nisha
