OPI users, where can I find Grape Wall of China?

[nicole333]

This colour is my all time favourite to have on my toes in the summer. It's the one I always came back to and now it's discontinued :cry:

I've had my bottle for years and although it's been quite loyal to me in lasting as long as it has, it could really do with replacing. Is there no hope for me finding this colour ever again? I would love to be told there is some kind of outlet that the retirees go to until the very last one is sold. Am I just dreaming?

I have two suggestions for you.

Capital Hair and Beauty sell a small range of OPI polish, and if you have a branch near you it may be worth enquiring.

Hairdressing Supplies & Beauty Salon Supplies

If not, call Lena White and ask them if the colour has been replaced with another which is similar.

OPI UK - Lena White

Hope that helps.

Thanks Noodle. I did contact Lena White by email, which is when I found out it had been discontinued. The colour they suggested was nothing like Grape wall of China, sadly.

I've never been into Capital as I don't have one near to me, but next time I am travelling I plan to go and register with them.

There's some on Ebay if you don't mind ordering from the USA:

OPI NAIL POLISH ~*~GRAPE WALL OF CHINA-~*~ VHTF | eBay

More than 10 bottles available, if you want to stock up!!

 

[nicole333]

Thanks, it's tempting out of sheer desperation, but there are many fakes on ebay including OPI.

Also, I've never imported before and can imagine the fees being more than the polish :|

Sallys also stock a small range ... have you tried them?

 

[nicole333]

Yeah I look every time I'm in there, which is roughly once a month due to the location. I was in there at the weekend. Nothing came close to my favourite colour, but I will continue to see if anything does anytime I'm in there.

You may have to settle on a similar colour from another company.

Hi Nicole,

I also have an OPI favourite that has been discontinued...and I know everyone worries about getting fakes from Ebay....but....I managed to find a woman on there who specialises in vintage and discontinued nail polishes and she is 100% genuine and in the USA. She has an Ebay online shop and the polishes were genuine.
I ordered 2 bottles of my fave polish from her and to be honest I paid the british RRP on them and only $1.99 P+P so I was well chuffed!! I felt they were well worth the price, especially coming from the US. She has 100% positive feed back on her profile and I would definately use her again....so they're not all bad on Ebay! lol

Hi I know other peeps have already suggested various warehouses but EWD also carry a large variety of OPI Polishes if there's one near u - they have their branches listed on the website Feel for u though - so annoying when they discontinue fabulous colours and you're like WHY??? I liked it!!! LOL

 

[Mich77]

Hey!

I found the link for the ebay shop that sells vintage and discontinued OPI polishes...hope this helps!

China Glaze, Zoya items in Nail Polish Elegance store on eBay!

 

[nicole333]

Thanks! I have saved her in my sellers list as she doesn't have any at the moment. Did you have to pay a handling fee from Royal mail? I was in the depot this afternoon and read a poster that said they charge a flat fee of £8 for 'handling' your goods

Just in case anyone else comes across this thread like I did when searching for a dupe for Grape Wall of China...I have found it, it's identical. Opi Heckla of a Color. Same polish. I found it by accident and they still sell it. EXACT same color. I painted 1/2 of the same nail with each today and they are literally identical.
