/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the first googled swatch pict I looked up after you mentioned it looked exactly like it. But then another site:http://addictedtoallthingspretty.com/opi-pirates-of-the-caribbean-collection-review-and-swatches-pictures/
posted the bottom label of Skull and Glossbones, and the second id number doesn't match mine. Mine has 11267ARV not the 10363APV as shown below...
But man, they do look exactly the same.... I've heard of OPI taking the same polish and slapping a new name on it for special sets though....Alpine snow and Mummy Knows Best are the same as they both have NLL00 on the bottom of their bottles (I have the minis of both). Could this be the case for full-sizes as well?

Aaah, okay, I didn't realize you were talking about the serial number at first. The serial number is different for each batch, even if it's the same polish. My Skull & Glossbones serial is 11068AAG.Originally Posted by tgooberbutt /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Oh Nice!!! Thank you so much - then I think you might be spot on with Skull & Glossbones. It does look exactly like the picture. Is there any resource to check serial numbers for OPI? If not, I'm pretty satisfied already

I don't think there are any sites that track SNs. The only ones I know about help with naming minis, but not full sized bottles. I think you can rest assured that it's S&G. OPI doesn't have too many greys like that. Now if it were a red, we'd be here forever, lol.
LOL! very true. You guys are awesome - mystery solved soooo quickly

If there is an OPI that I want, I will usually wait to combine a sale and a coupon at ULTA. China Glaze is usually good; I would get it at head2toebeauty.com. My favorite brand so far is Zoya--I have never had any disappointments with them. I typically love Essie, but it is less consistent than Zoya for me regarding formula. You might also want to check out the trade threads on here. A large number of my polishes are from trades. Nail blogs are constantly giving me inspiration. Some of my favorites are Chalkboard Nails, The Crumpet, Lucy's Stash, Nailasaurus, A Girl and Her Polish, and Lacquer or Leave Her.

I like my Nichole by OPIs and China Glazes. I've gotten them both at Ulta by combining either clearance and a coupon or B2G1 and a coupon. But I like Sinful Colors too because they're usually a good consistency for me and so cheap at CVS or Walgreen's and I can use ECB or Register Rewards on them to make them free!
Check out Pinterest. That's how I got into nail art. Then you get to see tons of really cool ideas from tons of really cool people at the same time. A lot of times, seeing them on Pinterest has led to me checking up on or following their blogs.

There are a few companies releasing gold K polishes for the season and upcoming holiday. I think most are doing a flakie type polish.

It was on clearance in store from $36 to $10 and Sephora had a promotion on Friday where if you downloaded a smartphone app called "Wrapp" they would send you a $10 gift card. So I used that and got it for free

You can ask around at salons; I think sometimes they might try to get rid of extras from old collections for a discount. I've never gotten the courage to do so though.
You can also ask around people in your area who are into polish things. Other than the Ulta deal someone mentioned up above ($3.50 off $10, try digging through their discount stash too -- I picked up OPI Do You Think I'm Texty and I know I saw Russian Navy in there), there are a lot of indie beauty shops that can sell them for cheaper. I know a friend took me to a mall in upstate NY were selling all their OPI's for $3.75, and no they weren't fake either. It was probably that the store was using that to lure people in to buy other products as well. There's a beauty shop I go to in northern Virginia that discounts their OPI from old collections to 50%, and I go digging through their bins every 1-2 months. XD; Online, you're probably going to fin them $6.50+ per bottle after shipping at the cheapest.

I think the OPI Skyfall collection has some awesome shades--my faves are Goldeneye and Casino Royale. I resisted buying them. Note: if you see the one from Skyfall that has teal glitter in it (The Living Daylights), check out the one in the Spoiled line by Wet n Wild, they have one that looks like it.
I was at a little no-name beauty shop/salon in my city. The only reason really that I resisted the OPI was because they were having a Zoya special: Buy two, get one free! I'm pretty sure they were clearing out to make room for new collections. It was mostly pinks and reds by the time I got there, but I did find a reddish purple and a duochrome orange, blah blah. When I got to the register, I saw two displays behind the counter and asked if they were display only; nope, they were for sale, too. Because they had been somewhat out of sight, they hadn't been picked through. I got Daul, Natty, and MarryJ. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
