Going by the price, this had to have been one of QVC's "grand" kits - even if it wasn't called that. But naturally I can't find anything definitive anywhere on the web...it is a six-year-old kit. This kit included:
I’ve had A Week. A co-worker’s child was killed last weekend (made newspapers here and in my parents’ area, because apparently a relative had a local-to-them small chain of stores) and everyone’s been scrambling like mad, redistributing their workload for the next week or two. I’ve finished rebuilding this site’s database, and am now starting on my other site. I’m bummed that I’m missing all the DragonCon festivities…but I’m going next year!! And if all things financial work out, Becky will be flying across the pond to join me and my friend Greyloch at the Atlanta Marriott for a week. Phyrra may be there as well, just because she regularly attends DragonCon. Though..what’s this about a limo excursion?!?? How do we get one of those?
Remember the big brouhaha OPI had, shortly after they filed suit against etailers? In May 2010, Temptalia posted a promo photo of OPI’s fall 2010 collection, and OPI sent the site owner a cease-and-desist letter. Part of OPI’s argument against promo pics being online included the rationalization that if other retailers could see their collections, they’d duplicate OPI’s collections and get them to market faster, thus undercutting OPI’s profit potential. (Several other companies use the same rationale for asking sites to remove promo pics, and / or for not sending out promo materials.) This backfired on them in a rather singular fashion.
This was in late May 2010.
In -=early=- May 2010, nail bloggers began posting swatch pics of China Glaze’s Vintage Vixen collection. It included twelve colors, a mixture of glass-flecks, frosts, and a very few cremes. Well, hey, guess what!! Some of OPI’s Swiss colors are dupes or near-dupes of China Glaze colors….and the China Glaze colors cost less.
