WalMart Nail Haul

Hey happy polishers :)  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  My "camping trip" was.. wet.  It rained from Friday when we got there until this morning :(  We didn't end up staying in the tent, we slept on an air mattress in the living room of the cottage we were at, only to find it deflated over night :(  There was a little hole in it that we found when we got home today.  It was good to spend time away with friends though, so in the end it was worth it :)

Anywho, I have for you today my haul from WalMart that I got last weekend.  I went shopping for shoes (I had a coupon that was going to expire and that would never do!) and ended up bringing home polish.. go figure! :P

Let's look at what I got :D

Left to Right:
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Snappy Sorbet, Mint Sprint, Brisk Blue
Revlon Top Speed Fire
PRO-FX Fiberized Ridge Filler

Let's start with the Sally Hansen Insta-Dris, shall we :)  This is the first time I have purchased these, but I have read that they are really good for stamping, so I thought I would give them a shot :)  Again, I tried to pick colours that I don't have something already close to in my collection.

This is a coral-y colour and I think this would look great with Zoya Irene :)

This is a really nice teal-y colour, I can't wait to try stamping this on white and black :)

I like that this colour is vibrant :)  Again, this is one that I want to try stamping over white!

So I didn't own a red in my collection... yes seriously, I didn't own a single real red!  I had a coupon for Revlon and I used it to buy this colour :D

Now, this is the best deal on polish I have found in a while (besides Julep's Intro Box for $0.01!).  75mL of base coats and top coats for less than $5.00 at WalMart!!!  Holy cow!  So I got the ridge filler.  I don't have a ridge filler, and I have never tried this brand before, so I thought I would give it a try.  They also didn't have any quick dry top coat left which is what I will be looking for every time I am in WalMart now :D

And just for a comparison, this is the Pro-FX ridge filler beside a full-sized OPI polish :)

Have you had any good WalMart/department store hauls lately?  It's amazing what you can find out there sometimes :D

OMG I'm Naked!

Haha, just kidding!  Well sorta ;)  My nails are naked at the moment because I'm planning an awesome nail art for tomorrow :D  Plus, I wanted to show you what's "under the polish".

So while you're waiting oh-so-patiently for tomorrow to come so you can see my awesome nail art, here are some pictures of my naked nails.  (I do have a basecoat on in these pictures.)  I hope this nail art design works with all this hype....

I don't do anything special besides hope and pray one of them doesn't break off while I'm doing stuff.  I do use Julep's Cuticle Oil, I try for a few times a day.  I am also very prone to hangnails.. BIG ones!  It's partially my own fault because once I get one I pick at it :(  They occur mostly on my thumbs and when I get one it also affects the skin around my nail, not just the hangnail part of it.  And then it bleeds :'(  I try to put bandaids on them with polysporin but it's so hard during the day because I wash my hands a lot, so they don't stay on anyways.  And I never think to put them on before bed.  *sigh*  Life with beautiful nails and fingers is hard to come by, lol!

(Sorry for the glare in the pictures with the flash - I wanted to show them in a little brighter light but it got dark on me faster than I expected :S)

I like to have my nais a little longer than they are in these pictures, but it always happens that once I get them to the length I want, one will break off :(

For being a life-long nail biter and having "quit" a little over 2 years ago, I think my nails are beautiful even if they are a little yellow from polishing them all the time.
