Small Haul

A quick stop at Ocean State Job Lots for Halloween decorations turned into a smaller polish haul. I say small but it was 5 polishes. They had a few new Revlon polishes and an older Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.

Left to right Xtreme Wear Strawberry Icing, Revlon Gray Suede, Tangerine, Devilish, and Sunshine Sparkle.

Ulta Haul

So, I discovered that there is an Ulta about an hour from my house. I was so stupid excited to go because I have never been to one before. I was in heaven! And all the people who worked there were wonderful. Even when a bottle of polish broke. Oops! Luckily none got on the floor and it was all contained in the shopping bag. I bought so much, probably too much.

Then I popped over to Sally’s to pick up a few things. I got some nail wheels and my very first Nina Ultra Pro polishes! Plus a few more China Glaze polishes.

On the way home I stopped at Rite Aid to see what was on sale. I found these pretty duo chrome beauties.

Chameleon Blue Sky and Calypso

So many new polishes. I should go on a no buy. But that will last like until I see a sale again. I am such a impulse polish buyer.

ZOYA!!!!!

For a while I have been admiring all the lovely Zoya polishes from a far. An $8 price tag plus shipping had been holding me back from purchasing. But because of the recent BOGO sale I couldn’t resist any longer. I picked up 4 since the limit was buy 2 get 2.

My beauties first picture Dannii and Jem, second picture Colette and Posh

I chose to use Posh for my first Jem manicure. It is a wonderful matte finish red. I was worried it would dry funny but it didn’t. Formula was great and went on smooth. It was almost opaque in one coat. Only needed a second to hide a couple of bald spots. It would not photograph right at all. These are the best pictures from my attempts.

Hauls!! September and beginning of October 2011

These are some recent polish hauls from the end of September thru the first few days of October. I have worn several of these recently.

First up is Ocean State Job Lots. They sometimes have great deals on name brand polishes. I have found some L’Oreal, SH Complete Salon Manicure, and Borghese. This time around I found a ton of Revlon polishes marked down to $1.49 then again to $1.04. These are normally $5 at my local Rite Aid or Walgreens. I got 12 total!

No Shrinking Violet and Sweet Tart 

Black with Envy and Oh My Magenta

All Fired Up and Pink Again

Red Hot Tamale and Endless Possibilities

Plum Night and Effervescent Opal

Make Mine Mango and Scene Stealer

A trip to the Rite Aid near my parents house yielded me Revlon’s Starry Pink and nail art pens in pink, white, and purple. I already have the two others from Revlon’s new glitter collection. 

The next day I went back to the same Rite Aid and picked up several of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wears from the main color line. I already own all the others and since there was a buy one get one 50% off sale I thought I would pick up the rest.
Top Row Purple Potion, Twisted Pink, Blizzard Blue, and Grey Area

Bottom Row Hot Magenta, Green with Envy, Invisible and Pink Boa

Then a few days later I stopped at the Walgreens near my grandmother’s house to pick up the Sinful Colors and Pure Ice crackles in black. (I have a black crackle comparison planned for another post.) It was there that I finally found the Fantasy Makers Halloween collection.

Fantasy Makers Black Magic, Creepy Pumpkin and Purple Potion

*** This is the Black Magic with the orange shimmer***

Later that day I stopped at the Walgreens near my work because I could tell the display at the other Walgreens was missing something. There I found Fantasy Makers Night Glow their version of the glow in the dark polish. 

Friday after work, I stopped at the Rite Aid near my grandmother’s looking for the Halloween make up display hoping to find more nail art pens. But instead found the recent Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear limited edition display. Now I already had almost all the colors except 3 of them. I was able to pick up Tealy Cool and Pink-y Ring. Now I am only missing Very Cherry.

On Saturday I went to the Rite Aid near my parents and found a ton of stuff on clearance. I ended up spending more then I intended but couldn’t pass up the deals that I found.

City Colors no name Blue and Purple

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Set In Stone, Hard Lemonade, Heart Of Stone, On the Rocks, and Hard-ly There 

And now I rarely buy these but Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure were 50% off, making each less then $4 a piece.

Strike A Pose, Model Behavior and First Kiss

Summer Plum and Delphinium

Barracuda and Paparazzi

And finally after seeing it swatched on Candy Coated Tips, I had to go buy L’Oreal Owl’s Night. It’s a super pretty dark bluish purple with tons of gold glitter. So excited to wear this one!! ***After using this one I now realize it is more of a blackened gray with gold glitter in it.
