$4/ea OPI Nail Polish Haul

 

 

 

I had gone to the mall with no intentions to be purchasing nail polish.  But I made the mistake of entering the mall through JC Penney -- and I made the even bigger mistake of entering the door into JC Penney near the salon.  I popped into the salon and glanced around, didn't notice anything until I turned to leave and I spotted the clearanced nail polish on the counter -- all $4/ea.  So immediately I honed in on one shade because it'd been a shade I had wanted for a while from the OPI Holland Collection.  I snatched it up and then glanced through the remaining polishes and ended up settling with two additional from the Superman Collection.  I ended up paying $12 for all of them which I feel was a great price.  If you aren't aware, new nail polishes are $8/ea when they come into JC Penney and after a while they (for the most part) because a 2 for $6 deal and after a while the shades from individual collections go on clearance for $2-4.

Here's what I picked up:

- OPI - I Have a Herring Problem
- OPI - Number One Nemesis
- OPI - Into The Night

I have no self control...

This all happened because I went to the salon to get my eyebrows waxed.  I got my brows done and upon walking out of the room, I noticed this wicker basket that was on the table the LAST time I was in there with OPI polishes that were on sale.  So .. what do I do?  I of course, start looking trough the basket.  I knew they were on sale because the sign near it said they were, but it didn't state the price.   I ended up finding a few of the OPI Muppet Collection polishes that I had been eying and wanting to pick up and since it was buy one get one I grabbed another that was pretty.  They had some nude shades, but nothing that I felt was noteworthy or that would work with my skintone.
 

Here's what I picked up:
- OPI Divine Swine
- OPI Gone Gonzo!
- OPI Excuse Moi!
- Pepe's Purple Passion
 

 

 

NOTM: On a Trip with a Divine Swine ;)

 

 

 

 

These are my nails at the current moment.  I had removed my polish last night in hopes to try out my Magnetix polish, after applying a coat on my hand I found I just did NOT like the effects and removed it immediately.  By then I had too much to do to begin repainting my nails and gearing up to go to bed.  So I opted to just put a clear coating on my nails and hit the hay.  Today, I opted to paint my nails since I was able to get all the household things I needed to get taken care of.

I wanted to try something new, so I used my Wet n Wild shade and then wanted an accent nail.  So I grabbed Divine Swine off the shelf because I just recently hauled it and it was a perfect excuse to try it out.  When I started putting on my base coat, I asked my boyfriend what nail(s) should be my accent nail(s) he said middle, as he usually says LOL.  I then said ring and middle and he said something about the sign language sign for I Love You.  I ended up liking that idea and I did my pinky and pointer finger.  I opted to not do the thumb but even without the thumb, it's still my "I Love You" nail look.

The products I used:
1 coat Milani Smoothe Base Coat
2 coats Wet n Wild On a Trip
3 coats (on 2 fingers) of OPI Divine Swine
1 coat Milani Glosse Top Coat

FREEBIE: Mini OPI Nail Polish @ JC Penney!

I received this mini (3.75mL) OPI Nail Lacquer from JC Penney's salon for FREE! How did I get this for free? Well, I received a text message earlier in the month that read: Visit the nearest JCP salon and May and receive a complimentary quick hair touch up and an OPI nail polish.

Since I was running errands at the mall with my boyfriend this past weekend, I decided to pop on into JC Penney to see what they were giving out. The associate behind the counter didn't even speak of the complimentary hair touch up, she simply asked me what nail polish I wanted. I asked her what colors they had and she gave me the choice of Strawberry Margarita (which is what is pictured and what I chose - a gorgeous vibrant pink shade) or I'm Really Not a Waitress (which if you are familiar with OPI shades, it's a bright red shade which you would assume a waitress would wear).

It's definitely not a bad freebie if you have to go to the mall for other items. But I would not suggest making a special trip just for a mini nail polish.
