OPI Burlesque for Winter/Holiday 2010

[InspiredBlue]

Dear OPI management, you suck.

 

[BEA2LS]

yea, really OPI dissapointed me on that.. they just turned down free advertisement! to be honest those blogs are what excites me to even bother, as the colors in the bottle never look too exciting.

seriously opi can now screw themselves. they won't even let blogs show images?? that is why we buy their product! i never see it in stores so the only way i know what to order is through pictures on blog sites. i'm done with this brand now. no matter how pretty the colours will be i will be leaving them.

i think opi is going to see a relatively sharp decline in their profits from new collections because of the stuff their legal team's been pulling. money says they back off after a few months.

Exactly, exactly. I'm no expert, and I love to hear the opinions of other bloggers... *sigh* That's EXACTLY how I hear about new shades and collections and whatever else people are currently into! At least when I familiarize myself with what's currently circulating the blogs I have it in the back of my mind when I'm shopping and look out for it specifically, and see if I want it. But, I'm sure you guys all understand where I'm coming from already.

This is pretty sad

 

[ruthless]

Exactly. I depend on online blogger swatches to be able to order off the internet!

 

[Shadowy Lady]

wow, OPI has been making really weird marketing (or lack of) decisions this year. I do love the sound of the colours, but though I've been an OPI girl for years the brand is now totally turning me off

 

[InspiredBlue]

I was planning to get the summer colors mini set, but now I don't feel like buying anything from OPI. Essie, here I come.

 

[PTinNY]

I'll probably pass on the glitters, but will look forward to everyone's NOTDs!

 

[franken_stein]

Somewhat new development. Have any of you guys seen this tweet from OPI's official Twitter? I have no idea why pictures of their product wouldn't be theirs to release or whatnot, but, that's just me personally not getting all of the details. It sounds like this might be a one-time occurrence, and maybe after this since they've had this experience they might warn bloggers ahead of time about what pictures are okay or not okay to circulate. Of course, I'm just speculating. It's not exactly an apology for such a harsh "cease and desist" notice (from what I... have heard. I haven't seen personally). But I wouldn't write them off just yet!

 

[LMD84]

^ or they have realised just how bad the re-action was after they made people take the pics down by threatening them so they made up the factthe pictures 'weren't theirs'. i really wouldn't be surprised by this because of the bad desisions they have been making recently.

 

[InspiredBlue]

"weren't ours to release" probably means that the person who does the tweeting for OPI didn't have permission from higher up the food chain.

 

[ruthless]

I take this to mean that the promotional material was emailed out to bloggers too early. Whatevs OPI your marketing still stinks.

it certaintly does recently anyways!!

I'm actually really looking forward to all the upcoming collections. I've been craving some nice glitter polish's so this winter will be a definate treat for me!

Although, I must agree with most of you that they're making a very serious mistake with all of the drama, I rely on swatches to make my decisions on polish's. But, I love OPI.

 

[Chester]

Dear OPI, how are we *international gals* supposed to see your products IF NOT IN A BLOG? Shame on you. I won't buy a product blindly.

 

[XxXxX]

Hmmm....I've heard of the drama for a while, but this is the first time I've seen that tweet. It makes sense, but usually it's a company's way of covering their butt! I hate to say it, but I love OPI [polishes]. They are trying to become super exclusive, but if their polish isn't available in as many places....sales will surely decline!

 

[raynebeau2]

i like glitters so i can't wait to see these

 

[Aurora~*]

lawyering issues aside, the name of the collection made me very interested...but they are just TOO glittery for my personal tastes....

I like their russian navy, which has a SLIGHT pink glitter in the sun only, on dark blue. Much more discreet.

Doesn't look too winter-y too me...more like summer I think...but I'll pass!
