Really?!

Several months back I was in my local Giant grocery store ... probably in to buy sour cream for TACO NIGHT!  As always I peruse the most important isles ... makeup department.  My eye caught a plastic stream holding several OPI's.  I was like "say WHAT!?"  OPI at Giant, that's ludicrous!  The color selection was all over the place, from old to new, weird.  I saw Shimmery-chic from OPI's Holiday Wishes collection, which has some flakie in it.  Unfortunately, I find it to be way UG and passed; had it been Merry Midnight I would have peed my pants and paid full price.

Then another day, another TACO NIGHT later, I again saw OPI this time at a different Giant.  Cool dude! So I'm checking the strip and when I finally get down to the bottom I find this:

OPI Absolutely Alice
I peed a little.  I peed not because I was looking for it or particularly wanted it, but because I know lots of people are looking for this color on MUA.  I thought yeay! maybe I can swap this for that Merry Midnight I want.  :D

There happen to be an SA in the aisle restocking shampoo.  I went over and asked whether there was another place that had OPI displayed.  She said, "that's not an item that we normally carry, it was sent by the shipper."  I don't know what the hell the second part meant, but she was clearly breathing heavily and slightly out of it, so I said, "thank you" and started walking back to the strip to see if I had missed anything.  As I was walking away she said, "did you see the Cover Girl display?!"  After my brain got done laughing really hard, I told her, "oh yes, thank you." 

So ladies check your local Giant grocery store for a possible WIN!

Maybe I am being selfish and a total nail polish hoarder, but now that I have had this thing for a couple of days I don't want to give it up.  Actually, I feel like this about all of my polishes even if they are very meh.  I can't imagine giving one up (even if it's meh) unless I have a backup.  We all change our minds and I don't want to have that story "I had that polish, but gave it up."
