Ladies, it may be time to raid your cupboards and drawers and hunt out those old bottles of nail polish because you may be sitting on a gold mine!
Lemmings as they like to be called or more commonly known as nail polish-obsessives are spending incredible amounts of money on nail polishes that are either discontinued or rare.
A bottle of discontinued nail polish can reach staggering prices on eBay with one bottle of the Holy Grail nail polish, Essie's Starry Night, a navy polish with silver glitter, recently being sold on eBay for $250. Other shades such as Clarins' 230 polish, lovingly nicknamed 'Unicorn Pee' because of its burgundy to green, to gold and orange iridescent colour, which was discontinued in 2008, has been reaching prices of up to $157 new or $99 slightly used.
You would think with these crazy prices and intense interest that the cosmetic companies would be rushing to re-release these polishes or at least do a limited run, but one spokesperson for Clarins has told MailOnline that a re-run of 'Unicorn Pee' is not on the books.
Crazy? What do you think?
oh my.. this is taking obsession to a new level! Doesn't the polish get gluggy and ruined? or is it more as a collectors item that people purchase them at these staggering price? :( boo! I've been throwing mine out!
