Cheap OPI sites... FYI (again)

8ty8beauty.com raised the price of OPI up to $4.48 ($0.50 increase). I wanna say their "sister site" is head2toebeauty.com, and they charge $4.75 now. Shipping at one point was a flat-rate of $6, and now it's based on weight and yada, yada... 8ty8beauty.com charges NY residents 8.675% tax, and head2toebeauty.com charges Illinois residents 7%. I've never paid attention to their Orly, China Glaze or Essie prices though. Just thought I'd let you know!

It's a good brand! I think their color Beatnik is one I've used... Cashmere Creme is a gorgeous color too!

Re: Cheap OPI sites... FYI (again)

I've bought from 8ty8beauty stacks of times, I've found them to be quite reasonably priced with their international postage. It costs AU$40 for 6 bottles of polish, including postage. It's pretty good considering we pay $20 retail per bottle for OPI here.

I've also bought from head2toe, I've found them to be just as good, a little more expensive, though if 8ty8 is out of something I'll go check on head2toe, they'll usually have it.

Re: Cheap OPI sites... FYI (again)

they killed me with the shipping, i didn't remember what i choose usually so i got 13$ between shipping charges and packing. but anyway, it's still cheaper than buying nail polish here.

I know for me, OPI is the best polish I've used. Orly is good, but not as good. I'm slowly building my NP stash to consist of 95% OPI LOL!

Re: Cheap OPI sites... FYI (again)

so far i've only tried their 2 in 1 polish (base+top coat). it's great but as you go along the bottle it tends to become just plastic and it's impossible to apply on your nails.

Re: Cheap OPI sites... FYI (again)

Hey, new to this stuff but anyway...

I have been looking at head2toe and 8ty8 for Opi and nail files, to ship to Australia. Just wondering, which site would be better to use, ie: cheaper, more reliable, good shipping prices.

Thanx!

I think Bec688 has bought from both of these sites and she lives in Australia too, so you might want to PM her

Duh I just read that she'd already replied...lol it's one of those days....

I recently got my first bottle of OPI ($7.50USD) and I will never go back to regular brands. It's so smooth. I'd love a whole collection of it!

Well besides 8ty8 and head2toe, you can try transdesign.com they sell OPI for $4.25 and the shipping is decent. I'm still upset that all three sites raised the prices of OPI but hey, thats the day and age, lol.
