Sephora by OPI It's Real 18k Gold Top Coat... for less than $2?

Hey everyone! It's been a while! Just a quick post today, but I think this is info worth sharing! You remember the gold leaf topcoat that Sephora by OPI had for about $30? I got it for $1.80 at BigLots. Everyone needs to check it out! Since the brand is discontinued I got a mess of them for $1.80 at BigLots. Everyone, go get you some while they're still there!

I have hardly anything to say about this topcoat other than it's STUNNING. What an amazing find! I put one coat, I repeat, ONE COAT over two coats of Sinful Colors' Endless Blue. It dried fast, great coverage, not streaky or sticky or patchy. So luxurious! This is a princess polish! I'll wear this until my nails fall off!

These pictures were taken in natural light, and the blue comes across a little brighter than normal in the picture, but nonetheless it's gorgeous. 

I bought this polish with my own money on my own time, and I am not associated with Sephora by OPI or Sinful Colors in any way.

Revlon Haul!

Did I ever mention how much I love BigLots? Well, I guess I will now. Because today I got 6 Revlon nail polishes for the price of one. WOOHOO! I got 4 scented ones and 2 regulars, for $6! Unheard of! For the scented ones I swatched tiny drops on my skin (which you might see in the pictures) and they all smelled amazing too. Anyhow, I'll spare the chit-chat and just show off my new beauties. The first 4 are my scenteds and the last 2 are my normals.

I Need A Refresh-Mint Swatch+Review!

I found this little beauty after a nice stroll through my local Rite Aid, and I figured for less than $2, why not try this? It's a cute color, it reminds me of China Glaze's For Audrey, (which I later find out that it's a dupe!) and I've heard raving reviews about this polish in particular on lots of blogs. What have I got to lose? I bought it, and put it on, and the compliments started flowing in. It's gorgeous! It suits my fair skin tone too. Wet 'n Wild's MegaLast Salon Nail Color in I Need A Refresh-Mint was definitely a great investment (of about $1.79). Oh my yes. The formula is smooth, very creamy, workable. The ManiCurve Pro Brush they have now is great, it resembles the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure brushes, maybe even OPI's ProWide brushes. I might not go that far though, it's a little too fluffy still, but they're on the right track. Only two coats for the color to be opaque and true to the bottle, no strong odors or streaking or awful drying time. I have some of the Sally Hansen salon polishes, and I wish they dried this fast. This is fantastic. I think I'll have to go back and pick up a few more of these polishes! Not to mention these particular polishes and other Wet 'n Wilds are almost always on sale at Rite Aid, woohoo! I definitely reccomend this. I'm not easy on my nails and they haven't even worn or chipped at all. We have a winner! Also, a great spring and summer color. I'll be taking this one to the beach.

Commander in Chic Swatch+Review!

Hello there! So as I said in my last post, I'm amazed by the deal I came across. And now that I have this color on my nails, I'm floored. This is sooooo pretty for fall, winter, maybe even a little spring action right here. I'm in love. It's a gorgeous mocha-taupey kind of color, with some purple undertones. It went on amazing, and the thick brush that this line has, I personally love. It's a one-stroke-and-done kind of deal! Two coats for full color, it dries a little darker than in the bottle, but that's alright by me! These polishes in this line are five-in-one polishes: base, strengthener, growth treatment, color, and topcoat. So I treated it as such, no base, no topcoat. It doesn't even need them! It's so smooth, fills ridges, and its amazingly shiny. I give this a five out of five! Hallelujah! Jackpot! What is your favorite Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Color, and which ones should I try? What is your favorite fall and winter color?

Don't Discount The Discount Bins!

Well I love Rite Aid, as you might have already found out. I love clearance bins, as I will demonstrate in my upcoming haul. But this, this couldn't wait for the haul. It deserves its own personal post. It's that important, yes it is! I was digging through for any goodies I could find, and I found a lovely plastic wrapped package gem! A Sally Hansen combo pack? Yes please! It was a bundle of joy, consisting of Commander in Chic, part of the Complete Salon Manicure line, and a small Nails & Cuticles Hand Creme with shea butter, also by Sally Hansen. It was only $3. Ummm, YES?! The polish itself cost twice as much as that! I'm also pretty sure the hand creme is around $5 as well. Now this polish, I know it's a hot color for fall and winter, I'm not too sure if it's even on their shelves anymore when I glanced. It's a dupe for the notorious OPI Metro Chic, I must have it. So I bought it, duh! Two coats and this baby was ready to go. No base, no top, and yet still, SO SHINY! I love this line of drugstore polishes. I have OPI polishes, and these are comparable. Check them out! And the hand creme is amazing, by the way. :) See my next post for the swatch and full review!
