Is the barcode the lot code?
No. A barcode identifies the retail item; find a separate short package mark.
ANNY nail polish batch-mark guide
ANNY's range covers colour polish as well as base, top and care coats. Record the shade or treatment name and bottle volume first, because those retail details are not the manufacturing run.
ANNY FAQ
Can one rule cover every format?
Do not assume that. Match the mark to the exact product, format and market.
Does a lot date prove authenticity or safe use?
No. It cannot establish authenticity, storage history or current usability alone.
Separate the ANNY shade from the bottle's production mark
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Compare the polish bottle with its carton where supplied. A shade number, colour name, finish and barcode identify the selected ANNY item rather than when it was filled.
- Base coats, top coats and colour polishes can use different labels, so rely on a clearly separate traceability mark instead of assuming one brand-wide position.
Common lookup mistakes
- Photograph the ANNY mark beside the shade label, preserving separators and leading zeroes without guessing worn characters.
- Check for thickening, separation, odour change and a damaged cap or brush; production timing does not describe storage after sale.
