OPI making waves in Bloggerland

If you look back at my post HERE, you'll see the pictures that were previously attached courtesy of another blog have disappeared.

That's due to a request from OPI that the pictures were not given/provided by an appropriate source (granted the pictures are probably ACCURATE but not allowed for posting).

Many bloggers have picked up on this due to the strong natured requests they got from OPI to remove it. I got no personal contact to remove my pictures because I had linked from another blogger's site, once they removed theirs, mine were gone as well.

Personally my opinion? Well, there are ways to communicate to your user base, and customers/fans, but with all of the publicity lately on OPI cracking down on unauthorized retailers selling their stuff, the impression of them hasn't exactly been that positive. I don't think this is the type of publicity they needed a time like this, but hey, it's their call, I'm just a watcher at the moment.

I don't think that it will impression me to buy LESS of their older stock I find from place to place, but it might make me a bit more conscious when I'm shopping new lines of nail polish that I don't just willingly hand my money over for the rates they've been charging here (not just that but goodness other countries pay 2-3x more than I do!).
