OPI Nail Polish Finds

In addition to my love of makeup, I also happen to be a nail polish hoarder.  I think this is very common among us females, or at least that’s what I tell myself.  It’s impossible to look at all the pretty colors when I’m at the store and not covet them all.

On Saturday I had the urge to go shopping.  I have to admit that’s not out of the ordinary for me.  Nevertheless, I realized that it had been weeks since I had been to Ulta.  Pause for the shock factor.  I really blame my sister-in-law, Kylie, for this obsession.  I had never stepped foot in that store before shopping with her.  But she opened my eyes to something beautiful and now it’s one of my favorite places to get my cosmetic fix. 

On this particular trip I knew I didn’t really need anything.  I just wanted to go look around and see if there was anything new.  Then I saw it.  Bottles and bottles of nail polish…on clearance!  Insert Squeal of excitement here!  This was no ordinary nail polish.  No, this was OPI nail polish.  The best of the best.  If you’ve never tried OPI, I highly recommend it.  They have a wide selection of colors and I’ve found that there’s really no beating its staying power.  I’m talking a week with no chips to your manicure!   The only downside to OPI is that a bottle will normally cost about $9.  Now this isn’t that much when you consider how many uses you’ll get out of it, but I’m cheap so I still have a hard time justifying it.   Here’s a look at the colors I got. 

 

All Sparkly and Gold - It’s glittery but dries smooth.  I did two coats on this and it was still a little sheer.  Although, if all you’re going for is a little sparkle, one coat should do it.















Cute Little Vixen - A nice sparkly deep red; a staple in any nail polish collection.  This one will be really nice in the fall/Christmastime.

Hey Baby - Truthfully I was about to buy this and another pink that was almost identical to it, just with a hint of purple.  I talked myself out of the other because they were so similar.  However, I’ve decided that if they still have the other one next time I go back I’m getting it because it must be a sign.  I know.  I’ve got problems.

Love.Angel.Music.Baby. - This is kind of cool because it dries almost with a matte finish even though it’s sparkly.  I have a top coat on in this picture that gives it more of a gloss, but I think I may use it some without.

If I had paid full price for these it would have been $36 plus tax!  But let’s be real, I don’t pay full price for anything!  Since these were all marked down and I had a coupon for $3.50 off a $10 purchase, my total came to $12.19.  OPI nail polish for $3 a bottle?  I call that a win!!

Thanks for reading!!
