SALLYS HAUL - THEY HAVE FRUIT NOW!

Had to go to Sally's last night because . . . . LOL Like I really need a reason to go, I just went! Anyway, I found a bunch of new nail art kits including the little fimo fruits! I have a SERIOUS banana pedi in the works coming up! Hope to work on it this weekend!

I had a 20% off my whole purchase coupon, and a gift card - needless to stay I made away like a bandit!

FINGER PAINTS - BECOMING ONE OF MY FAVES!

I have really been loving Finger Paints here lately. While I think they are a tad on the expensive side, I love to scoop them up during sales and clearances. I got these for a mere $1.99 each. Actually I got them for free with a gift card, lol! I am loving each of the shades I picked out!


I'VE BEEN FRAMED
(This had awesome hidden shimmer not noticeable until on the nails!)






SIGNED BY THE ARTIST

PINK CRAYON

SALE AT SALLY'S

Last night I stopped in to Sally's to get me a bottle of pure acetone and noticed they had several nail polishes on clearance. I don't know if it was just my store, if all the stores were clearing out these particular brands and colors. Either way, it might not hurt to stop into your local Sally's and check, especially if you are on a tight nail polish budget like myself.

They had several to choose from, these were just three of the ones I chose. Most of the colors that were on clearance were along these same lines - light shades, very work appropriate colors.

Look at the difference between the flash and non flash pic - the color really kind of changes colors.

Mmmmmm, doesn't this look like sugar in a bottle? I guess this must have been part of a wedding theme collection because of the name. I am excited to try this one out.

I think this is more mauve or pink than lilac as the name claims.

I just got an email from Sally's Beauty Supply I thought I would share with you all.

SALLY'S HAUL - AGAIN

While visiting one of my favorite nail polish blogs, Nail Juice, I saw a very hot konadicure! For the base color she used China Glaze - 2Nite from the OMG! Collection. This color is pure hotness (please click here to be directed to the pictures on Nail Juice I am referring to)! I left a message in her comments section that I had to go get it - today!

So true to my word, at lunch I hightailed it over to Sally's Beauty Supply. As I stated earlier they are having a great sale going on, buy two China Glaze polishes get one free, plus if you have their discount card, which I do, it comes to $3.25 a bottle, so really with the one bottle free that comes to a total of $2.17 A BOTTLE - - - for China Glaze! Don't know how long this sale will last, but if you have a Sally's close by I would recommend picking up some China Glaze.

However, when I got to Sally's they did not have this color. But I picked up 6 colors that I previously didn't have. Some are kind of boring because I needed just some basic colors for some of my nail art designs. I purchased:

Platinum Silver (a silver shimmer)

White on White (white creme)

Solar Power (bright yellow shimmer)

Liquid Leather (black creme)

Sexy Silhouette (magenta shimmer)

Ruby Pumps (red glitter)

This is the second Sally's I have been too that has been sold out of that new Christmas collection green glitter that just came out! Bummer man!

I still had one more option to get my 2Nite shade, there is another little beauty supply store, so I headed over there. Yes! They had it, but they wanted $6.99 for it (see how good that $2.17 looks now?!)!

I also picked up China Glaze - Crystal ball, a maroon with silver/holo glitter, and this one was $5.99 - darn you Sally's!

I also picked up a new Kiss! art brush and some little storage vials from Cinapro for my nail art supplies.

All in all - another good nail polish trip!

SALLY'S HAUL

I got some cool new nail art stuff at Sally's over this past weekend.

First are these cool foil heart shapes. These can be used inlaid in artificial nails, which makes for a really cool look, in my opinion. They can be used on top of the nail as well.

Here is an example of nails that have been "inlaid" from Viv Simmonds over at Vivid Nails. With the exception of the roses, all of the colors, glitters and nail art items are completely covered by the acrylic or gel, so your nails always look this way with no polish and they have a very smooth finish. Viv has lots of great pics of nails that she does, please take a look at her blog for more examples of her work.

Silver Bouillons, these can be used in alot of different ways and can make some intricate looking nail art!

These came as one package. From l to r: Gold Glitter, Foil Tinsel, Small Gold Bouillon, Gold & Silver Foil Hearts.

Sally's has just recently started selling China Glaze fingernail polish for those of you who didn't know. They were having a sale, buy two get one free! I also have a Sally's discount card too, which makes the price around $3.00 each, so I got 3 bottles of China Glaze for $6.00 - can you top that? lol The colors I purchased were: Flying Dragon (swatch's of this coming soon), Turned Up Turquoise & Frostbite. I must admit I was most excited about T.U.T., but after I tried all the colors on I was most impressed with Frostbite (which can be seen in my Christmas Nails Post here. ) All in all I think it was a pretty good haul.

I took my 6 yr old son with me before he had to be at a birthday party, talk about the last place he wanted to be! But he was pretty well behaved, and he sure does love when the girls in the store fawn all over him! His favorite color was Frostbite, he said because it was like frosting you bite - how I love kids ways of thinking!
