Random Ramblings About Discontinued Nail Polish

Don't you just hate hate hate it when you suddenly came across an awesome spectacular ooooh-I-must-have-it nail polish picture on someone's blog, just to find out they've been discontinued?

Or worst, you've probably found your best nude, or favorite red, or that special blue, and when you're about halfway empty, or empty, you need to get a second bottle, and whammm! It is discontinued?

Or probably you saw this lovely color on the web on someone else's nails, and when it's one of those lucky times that the polish you want is still available, they somehow changed the formula to something different? (ahem bubble bath.. cough... my private jet... sniffles... emerald sparkle)

Don't you just haaate it when the nail lacquer that everybahhhdeee lust for is discontinued, and those evil-bayers that has extra just jack up the damn price to sky-high (have these people no conscience??) to squeeze us?

I wonder who it is in a company that decide what product to discontinue and what not to.

Is it an executive decision? Or is it an unanimous decision?

If it's an executive decision, I'm sure a lot of nail polish fanatics with long nails are going to claw that certain person who made that decision.

If it's a unanimous decision, we'll run petition to get the whole board fired.

It's terrible, ain't it? Imagine a handful of people sitting around a table with their tight suits and formal wears, and they say, "Ok guys, we're going to discontinue the China Glaze OMG collection next month. We  need something fresh on the market...bla bla..."

Or a Jane or John Doe just suddenly say, " Let's discontinue the Clarins 230."

And wham... suddenly these polishes everyone is lemming for is off the shelves, people started buying half a dozen backups, evil people buy them all off the shelves so they can sell at sky high prices on e-bay. GRRRRR....

Imagine McDonald's discontinuing the Big Mac, McChicken and Double Cheeseburger, or Subway discontinuing Subway Melts, or Haagen Daaz discontinuing Belgian Chocolate, or Michael Jordan not playing basketball, or Tiger Woods not playing golf...

Do you get what I mean? You just don't discontinue something you're selling so well! You do not discontinue the star product. I mean... duh! What they're doing is evil, it's mean, it's wicked. It's wrong!

I'm just a little grumpy today... seeing the beautiful sun shining everyday, taunting me with no lovely holographic prismatic nail polish to show off.

Howls... when are they going to bring back the best of the best nail polish??!
