No China Glaze today…

…or Seche Vite.

It has come to my attention that the American International Industries (AII)no longer wants their products to be shipped from e-tailers outside the US. And since Norway is firmly placed outside the US these news are unwelcome to say the least.

I have tried to use my google-skills to find out why they have stopped all e-sales but I either my skills are not good enough or they have not given a reason - it’s not like they have to if they don’t want to. The only reason that have come up as plausible through speculation is that they want to charge European prices through retailers. Which sucks as most of these brands are not readily available in Norway and the place that does sell China Glaze in Oslo (Kicks) do not have a full catalogue nor do they get new collections fast. And to boot the price pr bottle is more than $20! And not a bottle of Seche Vite in sight anywhere in Norway!

To me this equals somewhat of a catastrophe. Some might think this is overreacting, but bear with me - nail polish is after all a major hobby of mine, and it’s not an interest that gets funnier or more exciting by having to hunt down common brands and then pay through the nose for them on evilbay. Money spent that could have gone directly into the pockets of AII, so to me this makes no business-sense what so ever.

Boo boo on AII!
