OPI vs OPI
OPI vs OPI
This post title might sounds weird but its true! I am posting about OPI vs OPI.
Recently, I bought 2 OPI Shatter online. And it turns out that the tag around around the cap of the nail polish is totally different. Even the bottom label is different too. Then I start to worry about which bottle is real or fake and will the outcome effect be different too?
Now let the pictures do the talking.
Bottle A Bottle B
Can you tell the tag around it is different?
Bottle A (Left) Bottle B (Right)
Bottom label is different too.
Teenage Dream for my Base color 
Bottle A (Left) Teenage Dream (Centre) Bottle B (Right)
TADAH !!
Bottle A Effect (Left) Bottle B Effect (Right)
The effect from both bottles is really different. Bottle A effect is in much bigger pieces as compare to Bottle B. Both finger is coated one layer of shatter.
So which one do you prefer?
I vote for B !

Wow !! Thanks so much for your info !!
The link is too simplistic. Not all bottles with 1 layer of sticker are fakes.
If you are buying from e-tailers, sometimes they remove the outer layer of the sticker at the base, as they are scared of being traced by OPI.
If you have been buying online, you would have known that a while back OPI was threatening a few online sites selling OPI cheap.
There are 2 codes for Black Shatter as it was released in 2 different sets – with the Katy Perry collection and the Serena Williams Simply Smashing.
As for the effect, even with the same bottle, you will get different effects, depending on the amount of polish you have on the brush and the strength with which you apply it on your nails.
If you are really very concerned, then maybe you should just buy at your local OPI shop to avoid any problems.

Thanks for your much info. I am just creating awarness not about stating any fact. If it isn't fake there's nothing to explain.
Maybe you would like to leave your name behind next time!
Thanks for sharing!
