Ooh-La Latte Nail Polish by Maybelline

Ooh-La Latte is the color. And they happen to be discontinued. It used to be my gf's fav nail polish but I want to surprise her by getting this if I can. (Little affection goes a long way )

These are the places I looked:

1. Google
2. Maybelline website
3. Yahoo
4. Ask Jeeves
5. Ebay
6. Couple of my girl-friends
7. Now here...

Show me the people power and Anandtech effect. Where there's a way there's a will. I will pay via Paypal and the mods will hold me against my words. Thank you very much and let the searchin' begin!

 

[fatbaby]

is that the exact name?

 

[spanky]

after 30 secs on google... it's a no-go

 

[LOLyourFace]

Yes. It's the exact name. Ooh-La Latte with the dash in between..

The full name is Express Finish Nail Enamel in Ooh La Latte by Maybelline

But Maybelline Ooh-La Latte should be enough.

I hardly doubt you can find it. Although I did only brief searches on internet, Google, Ebay, Maybelline website, and others are a reliable resource.. and they didn't have any.

 

[Jmmsbnd007]

Damn, not listed under maybelline's discontinued list. Although there are some ooh-la latte colors under different stuff (not just nail polish).

 

[fatbaby]

Go to 4.

Well i found it, and you didn't mention you wanted to buy it from the place i found it from

I will pay via Paypal and the mods will hold me against my words.

indeed

 

[abaez]

Uhh hello he says he wants to surprise his gf by getting it that likely implies he wants to buy it.

unless you're a total idiot, we all know he meant to find a place where he can buy it..

I found that website the first minute i looked into it by simply typing "Ooh-La Latte" on Google.

Gimme a break if you're not joking. I want it in my hands, brand new, for me to give it to her.

Thanks for trying though.

Interestingly I searched and found several sites by people who appear to be "Nail Hobbyist" along with being mildly disturbed that such a thing exists... I discovered referances to the Express Finish Nail Enamel brand.... all the references refer to the color stated... (there were three different instances) as being "probably discontinued" as though it were an expected hazard with this brand....

I think you're SOL...

 

[LOLyourFace]

Damn, not listed under maybelline's discontinued list. Although there are some ooh-la latte colors under different stuff (not just nail polish).

Under different stuff? What would those be? and are they discontinued as well? It's not what I'm exactly looking for.. but I'm interested.

Thanks

What's SOL? Something Out of Luck?

 

[djheater]

Whoa there people... there is a smiley in the post... relax....

[bonk102]

your best bet, try eckerd, or your local drugstore, where things that get discontinued generally sit around on shelves for awhile, kmart and ames also ring a bell. i found some kick ass old spice after shave that had been discontinued for 75% off at eckerd one day !!!

 

[fatbaby]

bah i give up

My suggestion, go to your local beauty store (no not walgreens or robinsons may because they tend to maintain a current inventory)

 

[bunker]

Worth a shot?

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Other option: Simply phone the (Finish) headoffice of Maybelline. A lot of companies like that will still have of the stuff in stocks after it has been discontinued, and if you are lucky they are willing to ship it to you.

 

[LOLyourFace]

Although no clear answers, i certainly appreciate all of your efforts. Even fatbaby's

I'm surprised at your enthusiasm. (damn, money talks eh? )

I guess best bet is to give Maybelline a call tomorrow

Nah, if we're playing finding the WORD then I beat you a long time ago.

 

[frankqfrank]

lots of colors here, maybe they changed the color name...

or maybe I've failed miserably.

 

[hoihtah]

i feel funny searching for makeup at work.

i hope nobody walks in my office... while i'm doing this.

If you're already willing to pay money, may I suggest Google Answers?

Basically, you pay money, and google's crack team of "researchers" answers it. It's amazing what these people are able to find on the net; I'd be surprised if a google researcher isn't able to find a store that has it.
