Hard Candy 20th Anniversary Nail Polish in Sky

I remember when Hard Candy 1st came out with "sky" nail polish, but I was never able to get it. When they started selling it at Walmart(08 or 09 I think?), I was thrilled to finally own more Hard Candy! I bought the Just Nails in "sky" & loved it for summer. When the 20th anniversary items were released in late April, early May, I couldn't wait to find them, but had no luck at all. About 2 weeks ago, I was with my boyfriend, shopping at Walmart late at night & we went by the makeup. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted something baby blue hiding behind some non Hard Candy nail polishes. It just happened to be the 20th anniversary of "sky"! It was on clearance for $2, so it came home with me. 

I decided to compare the 20th ann. version to the Just Nails version. To me, they look just alike in the bottle, but they are very different when swatched. The 20th ann. is more creamy while the Just Nails one is more sheer. I can't say how it compares to the original, so if you'd like to share photos of the original, please do!

Left side: Just Nails Sky. Right Side: 20th ann. Sky.

I like both shades but I will probably use the 20th ann. "sky" more. Both went on very easy and didn't leave any streaks. I also lucked out & found the 20th anniversary eye shadow palette, which I will be sharing soon. Please feel free to let me know if you were able to find of the the limited edition items!

Kmart Cosmetics Sale Going On Now!

Now, I can't confirm if this sale is going on at all Kmarts, but my nearest one in Bristol TN has a pretty nice sale in the cosmetics sections! I'm trying to cut down, so I did limit to just a few items I have been wanting to try. Here is a photo of what I bought.

Nicole by O.P.I. Gumdrops in My Cherry Amour- $2.99

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Bronze Shimmer- $1.44

NYC Eyeliner Pencil in Vampy Violet- 99 Cents

NYC City Duet 2 in 1 Lip Color in The Metropolitan Mauves- $1.49

Rimmel London Kate Lipstick in Rossetto- $2.64

Revlon Single Shadow in Seafoam- $1.50

They had a lot of other brands on sale too. More Revlon items including foundations & primers & other eye shadows. More of the Nicole by O.P.I were on sale including the Carrie Underwood collection. NYC had some other items on sale too. I believe some Almay & some other Rimmel was also on sale. This may depend on the store. Normally when I hear about sales in the makeup section at Kmart, it never hits my local one, so this was a surprise. 

I also spotted some nice sales at Walgreens & I have heard that CVS will be starting their sales soon(some sale items have already been spotted. If you find anything good at any of these stores, please let me know! I'd love to know what you bought!

Over the past week(10-27-14 thru 11-2-14), I picked up some pretty nice beauty items, some even while on my little getaway! Just about everything was on sale or bought at the Dollar Tree.

At Walgreens, I got the CG nail polish for $1.49, the Fergie ones for $1.98, twist & shine balm was $1.50(I think), the eyeliner & mascara were $2.49. I got the dream wonder foundation at Rite Aid for only $2.98 because it was 40% off & I had a $4 off coupon. At Lily's, the powder was $4.99 & the eyeliner $2.99, those 2 were bought as we were leaving Pigeon Forge, but we also have one of those stores in town, they have some pretty neat stuff.

Cover Girl Makeup Prize

A little over a month ago I entered a contest on Cover Girl's Instagram to win a prize pack with some of their new makeup. I got a DM(direct message) on Instagram from them saying I might be a winner & they asked for my mailing info in case I won. Well, I have the mind of Dory sometimes & completely forgot about it. A few days ago I got a package & it was my prize!

I received two nail polishes & a lip gloss. I was sent two of the orange shade nail polishes, but I was able to trade for a different color with a friend. I noticed on Instagram that the winners got either two nail polishes & a lip gloss, or two lip glosses and one nail polish. I haven't tried them yet, but I plan on using the nail polish the next time I do my nails & I will post a blog on how it is. It says "nail gel" on it, so I'm guessing it's supposed to last longer maybe? We shall find out soon!

Rue21 Candy Confetti Nail Polish Review

Rue21 Candy Confetti Nail Polish

I found this nail polish at Rue 21. It said half off of $3.99 & I had really been wanting it since seeing it online. It ended up ringing up for only 50 cents, score! Well, I’m glad I only paid 50 cents for it. In less then 24 hours, it was already flaking off every finger. I used the same base coat that I always use. I never use a top coat & I’ve never had a nail polish flake off like this before. It was such an awesome blend of "confetti" 

My nails look like half eaten doughnuts.... By the time I got home, my nails were almost polish free. I’ve never had that happen with a nail polish before, maybe just a bad batch? This is my 1st nail polish from Rue 21, so I can’t really say how their other polishes are. Has anyone else had any problems with nail polish from them? Comment below!

Until next time my lovelies! 

P.S. I'm going to be redoing my blog over soon, getting bored with the colors. 

Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Ocean Side.

My 1st nail post! I've been a fan of Sinful Colors for years now, so I was very happy to try out the shade(ocean blue) Influenster sent me. I did use a base coat since it is a darker shade. I love this blue! I've had it on for a few days now & have done yard work, went the boxes, moved stuff, cleaned & more & there is hardly any chipping! Just a little wear around the tips. I am a loyal fan & will always buy their nail polish! I haven't seen this shade in stores, so I'm glad it was sent to me! Thanks for stopping by, I will try & review the CoverGirl mascara soon!

*I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster*
