NOTD Round Up

The last time I did a nails of the day post was back in April. Depsite all that time passing, catching up on my NOTD looks isn't going to be difficult, as I've worn something other than a treatment coat exactly three times since that last post. I've been swatching right along, yes, but when it comes to doing a full manicure, I've been slacking. I blame pandemic malaise. I'm not seeing any of my friends who expect me to have interesting nails so I haven't bothered. After a swatching session, I'll usually just slick on a treatment and call it good. Still, I did make at least a little effort a few times in the last several months.

I used a set of Incoco nail polish strips called Sweet Surprise from back when they sold seasonal designs at Walgreens. These have a pale pink base scattered with tiny silver glitter, square silver holo glitter, and multi-colored bar glitter. I added Sally Hansen Insta Gel UV topcoat to them and wore them for two weeks (they didn't look great at the end but like I said, not many people see me these days).







I mentioned back in April that I'd decided to lay off the fake nails for a while in light of all the handwashing. Well, I've now decided to go back to them. I feel like I can get my hands clean enough while wearing them, and since I so seldom go out of my safe zone, most days I don't have to wash my hands any more than I did pre-pandemic when I wore fakes quite a lot of the time. I kicked off this new regime with a set of Fing'rs Prints called Simply Chic. This artsy French design with silver tips adorned with swoops of black and white creme and silver glitter isn't my usual style but I figured there's no better time to experiment than during isolation. I did not take that experiment so far as to use the rhinestone charms in the set; maybe another time. After I got them all on, I noticed that the swoops on my index fingers were going in the opposite direction from my other nails ... I'd failed to notice that the sizes were in pairs, one in each orientation, and had switched the ones for my index fingers. Oh well. These lasted a week before the grow out at the base annoyed me. They stuck pretty darn well; I'd wear this brand more if they came in a longer length.





I followed that set of fakes with another, this time one from NailBliss MagicPress that I'd grabbed from the clearance section at Sally Beauty. Hot Stuff has medium pink plain nails with silver glitter accents (not my idea of "hot" but okay). I wore these for two weeks, sticking them back on with a thick treatment polish when they fell off. They looked pretty ratty by the end, with a wide gap at the base and worn edges on the tips, but that's pandemic times I guess.





The ski resort I call my home did open for summer season, with distancing and other precautions in place, so Mr. K and I have been riding the chairlift up and hiking the trails at the top a lot of days. That's helped my state of mind, for sure.



As I type this, I'm back to just clear treatment on my nails, though I have some sets of fakes nearby and am pondering which one to put on.

End of April Displays

What's this? Two display posts in one month? Yep. Even though it hasn't been quite two weeks since my last batch of display photos, I have found a fair few new things when I've been out an about recently. Probably it helps that I've been out and about more since skiing has been pretty much over since I got back from my trip; I have done a few weekend days but that's it (and now it seems like it's really truly over for the season even though there's still some snow around). I figured I'd go ahead and share the photos now before I get too many more built up in my folders.

Sally Beauty had a display of Bitzy Neon colors. I think these are all core colors: Funky Melon (neon glitter), Haute Mama (purple), Ole (orange), Candy Shop (pink), Spring Fling (green).



Butter London has a new collection of Glazen nail lacquers out at Ulta. Bling on the Nails contains six shades: Mermaid, Oil Slick, Prism, Unicorn, Blaze, and Enchanted.



I can't recall if I've seen CND Vinylux at Walgreens before, but two different stores had the spring collection, Chic Shock. Four shades here: Candied, Taffy, Jellied, and Gummi. The mini set has all but Gummi and includes top coat.



I'd been seeing online that people were finding Color Club holos at Walmart, but still was surprised to see a sidekick display at the store in my little town. (I'm even more surprised in retrospect now that I've been to other stores in the bigger cities and they didn't have any Color Club polishes at all.) The top two rows are mood polishes (thermals): Total Meltdown (sold out), All Fired Up, Rays the Bar (sold out), Happy Go Lucky, Getting Warmer, Enlightened, Cold Shoulder, Go With the Flow, Temp-er Tantrum, So Chill, Diva Fan, and Serene Green (sold out). The middle two rows are matte neons (convenient, since matte pigment is naturally neon): Chalk It Up, Schoolyard Crush, Out of Your League, Study Buddy, Don't Toy with Me, All Dolled Up, Cliff Notes, Having a Ball, Party Teal Dawn, No Curfew, Play Date, Friendly Competition. The bottom two rows are the holos: Don't Harp on It, Star Light Star Bright, Enchanted, Supernatural (sold out), Spell It Out, Crystal Baller, Sidewalk Psychic, Trick of the Trade, Hello Holo, What's Your Sign, Bewitched, It's a Mystery.



One Sally Beauty I went to had a large display of Dashing Diva MagicPress fake nails. Most were for fingers but several sets were for toes. There was a good variety of designs and finishes.



It was only a tip from a friend that led me to find the Essence Galaxy Nails polishes at Ulta. They're not in a separate display but rather in small section in the core display in the makeup aisle. Left to right: Outta Space is the Place, Across the Universe, Space Glam, Intergalactic Adventure, We Will Spock You.



Rite Aid had the Essie Seaglass Shimmer collection before any other store in my area. Six shades here: World Is Your Oyster, Don't Be Salty, Coral Coast, At Sea Level, You Me & The Sea, High Tides & Dives. The display also has Gel Setter base/top coat.



I went to several Sally Beauty stores and never saw a display for the Finger Paints Fantasy collection that had all six colors in it. The one below did have five: Fantasy World, Over the Rainbow, and In the Clouds (front row); Legendary Lore and Fairy Tale (back row). The missing one is Lost in Wonderland, a mauve-y pink shimmer.



I was happy to see Incoco strips at Walgreens. It's a smaller display than I'd seen at Ulta recently but still nice to know I've got another source for strips at least for now.



The Kiss Girls Just Wanna Have Fun display has three sets of nail art stickers: Jewel Accents (silver/rhinestone), Accent Stickers (brights), and Be Linked (sky and flower line art).



NW Beauty is the first and so far only place in my area that has the OPI Grease collection. There's the big display with regular finishes and a smaller one with leather-like finishes; there's also a set of four minis. (There was also a display for the OPI Infite Shine line but that was right at the register and never got a clear shot at it; that had the same shades as the big display here, and there was a mini set with different colors than the regular line.) Big display, front: Don't Cry Over Spilled Milkshakes, Meet a Boy Cute As Can Be, Summer Lovin' Having a Blast, Was It All Just a Dream, Teal Me More Teal Me More, Chills Are Multiplying. Big display, back: Frenchie Likes to Kiss, Pink Ladies Rule the School, Hopelessly Devoted to OPI, You're the Shade That I Want, Tell Me About It Stud, Danny & Sandy 4 Ever. Small display: Rydell Forever, Electryfyin' Pink, Grease Is the Word. The mini kits have Don't Cry Over Spilled Milkshakes, Was It All Just a Dream, Pink Ladies Rule the School, and You're the Shade That I Want.



Walgreens had another mixed assortment of OPI colors: Step Right Up, Tiramisu for TWo, Coney Island Cotton Candy, Pinking of You, You're Such a Budapest, Aphrodite's Pink Nightie, Significant Other Color, She's a Bad Muffuletta, California Raspberry, Blue My Mind.



One of the Walmart stores that didn't have the Color Club did have a Pure Ice sidekick display, Natural Wonder. I'm not sure which of these shades are core and which aren't. Top row: Goldie Locks, Happy Hour, Home Run, Flirt Alert, Spitfire, Shore Bet, I Got a Confection (x2), Free Fall. Second row: Bikini, Feisty, I Got a Confection (x2), Absolutely Mauvelous, Twinkle, Outrageous, Shore Bet (x2). Third row: Shore Bet, Sweet Serenity, Satin Ribbon (x2), Wear Red (x2), After Hours, Rumors (x2). Bottom row: Risk Taker (x2), Shell Pink, Girly Girl (x2), Peony (x2), Purple Traitor, Stone Cold.



I shared the big sidekick display of SinfulColors Indie Sol last time; this time I have the small shelf top which just has the new colors. I spotted this at Rite Aid. Front: Jelly Ellie, Sunglasses at Night, We're in Tents. Back: Rave New World, Positive Vibez, Sundown Getdown.



Now I need to get to swatching.

Mid-March Displays

This will be a shorter display post than usual because I just haven't come across as many new things since my last display post as I'd hoped. I've been to the same stores, even a few more locations of the big chains than I typically stop at, but the trend of fewer releases from mainstream brands seems to be continuing. Still, there were some new things.

Sally Beauty had fake nails from Bella; some had interesting finishes like metallic and duochrome.



There will be no new releases from Bliss, at least not at Kohls, where everything from the brand was on clearance last time I was there. I'd be more sad about this if they'd had more interesting polishes. I liked the bottles but so many of the colors were cremes in shades I already had.



I first saw Essie Spring 2018 at Rite Aid but have since spotted it at other places like Fred Meyer and Walgreens. Left to right: Bon Boy-age, Perfect Mate, Anchor Dawn, Pass-port to Sail, At the Helm, and Stripes & Sails. This display also has Speed-Setter Ultra Fast Dry Top Coat.



Some stores have a floor display for Bon Boy-age:



Also new from Essie is the Gel Couture Wedding Collection by Reem Acra. Left to right: Handmade of Honor, Getting Intricate, Picture Perfect, Moments to Mrs., You're Golden, and Forever Family. There's also the matching top coat.



I've seen online that some folks are finding Color Club holo polishes at Walmart, so I braved a visit. I didn't find the Color Club, but I did find they still have the Coconuts nail polish strips from Incoco. This store had twelve designs. Starting at top left: Peach Punch (soft orange with orange lines), Right this Way (mint with green arrows), Sweet Style (white with black dots and pink roses), Sea Goddess (silver with turquoise and pink gradient), It's Love (silver with black dots and hearts), Stone Cold (white/black marble), Make the Cut (white with tan lines), Steal the Show (gold animal print), Treat Yourself (white with mint and pink donuts/sprinkles), Alter Ego (white/pink/ornage/purple watercolor), High Point (white with coral/teal geometric), After Party (black with blue glitter).



Walmart also had a few designs of the non-Coconuts Incoco strips: Bling Bling (silver microglitter French manicure), Invite Only (taupe with gold glitter), and Cloud Nine (white French manicure).



During my time in Walmart, I saw some interesting fake nails from LA Colors called Pixie. Left to right: Pyro (metallic stiletto), Peaches 'n' Cream (short iridescent), Outer Space (duochrome stiletto), Bubble Gun (pink iridescent), Mermaid Princess (turquoise iridescent).



The LA Colors Color Last Metallic Finish polishes also caught my eye at Walmart; I don't remember seeing these anywhere else. There were slots for eight shades: Opal White, Champagne Sapphire (sold out), Pink Diamond, Ruby (sold out), Amethyst, Emerald, Chrome, and Obsidian.



I shared OPI Libson last time; at that point I'd seen it only at NW Beauty and Ulta. I've spotted it at Sally Beauty since, where in addition to the colors I'd already seen in a two-section display with both regular and Infinite Shine, though the latter was stocked with random shades), they had a smaller display with three Sally exclusive shades. I don't recall that happening at Sally before; Ulta, yes, but not Sally. The exclusive colors are Set Apart by Tile Art, Hittin' the Portuguese Pavement, and I Absolutely Amador Ya.





I also saw some OPI at Walgreens, which doesn't usually have OPI (at least my stores out here don't). This was a mix of shades from different collections: Funny Bunny, Gargantuan Green Grape, Check Out the Old Geysirs, I Just Can't Cope-acabana, Can't Afjord Not To, Feelin Hot Hot Hot, Charged Up Cherry, Teal the Cows Come Home, Flashbulb Fuchsia, and Suzi and the 7 Dusseldorfs.



The Pueen section of the nail aisle at Walmart was pretty bare, but it did have a plate and clear stamper I'd not seen there before (granted it's been a while, so these may be old news). The plate is labelled Theme Park Collection Marble Paradise 01.



I didn't find the Sally Hansen Color Therapy Valentine's Day display, I Treat Myself, until quite late, and it seems to have core colors in it, nothing new, but I'm including it because I liked that they went to the effort to make a special display for the holiday with a heart shaped section the polishes sit in (there's also Top Coat and Cuticle Oil to the side). Shades here: Burnished Bronze, Sunrise Salutation, Rosy Quartz, Mauve Mantra, Ohm My Magenta, Red-y to Glow.



It's not all repromotes from Sally Hansen, though. They've released three new top coats in the Miracle Gel line called Color Filters. The display I saw at Walgreens has core shades to use as bases, the new top coats, and the regular top coat. Top row: Shhhh-immer, Adrenaline Crush, Regal Rose, Mauve-olous, Diffuse (new top coat), Strobe (new top coat), and Smoulder (new top coat). Bottom row: Pinky Promise, Tipsy Gypsy, Street Flair, Hunger Flames, Let's Get Digital, Get Mod, and Top Coat.



The Color Filters display at Fred Meyer had the same three new top coats but a different assortment of base shades. Starting at back left: Creme de la Creme and V-amplified with Diffuse Top Coat, Birthday Suit and Sstree Flair paired with Strobe Top Coat, Pinky Promise and Get Mod with Smoulder Top Coat.



There are even some limited edition shades out now from Sally Hansen: a capsule collection of Complete Salon Manicure colors created by Madeline Poole. Front: Slime Scene and Mallratz. Middle: Material Pearl and Say It Lycra Mean It. Back: Vinyl Tap and Call Me on My Shellphone.



Good old SinfulColors has a St. Patrick's themed display out called Lucked Up. Sure, most of the shades are repromotes, but there are some new ones, and I give them all the credit for not giving up like so many brands seem to be doing these days. Front: Jade Kat, Cash Out, Lucked Up (new), Sassy Lassie (new), Cloverdrive (new). Back: Green Ocean, Rise & Shine, Cloverdrive (still new), Gold Medal, Clear Coat.



And lastly, a sigh for what might have been ... Fred Meyer had a Wet 'n' Wild Goth O-graphic display with "Spring with a Holographic Edge" as its tagline. In prior years, this would have had polishes in it, pretty holo polishes. Or we would have gotten a separate display of just polish. This is just makeup. I like makeup, sure, but I like polish way more, and Wet 'n' Wild seems to have stopped putting out new ones. Sad.

Not Quite Spring Displays

It's still full winter up here on my mountain, though signs of spring are starting to appear in town. Literal signs, the ones that post weight limits for side roads so heavy vehicles don't tear them up during the spring thaw. Spring nail polish displays are also starting to show up in stores, but not in town; I have to go down to the cities for that because that's where Walgreens and Rite Aid and Fred Meyer and Ulta and such are. I've found a few things down there to share since my last display post.

Ulta hasn't felt like as rich a polish hunting ground as it once was, but I did find several new things there recently, like this Caption display. In the front/bottom, there are two different stamping plates (they call them "nail art screens"), remover, two loose glitter kits, and a mini polish set. In the back/top, there are two ombre kits (they mean gradient), three kinds of fake nails, and a different mini polish set.



I didn't see the China Glaze Chic Physique spring 2018 polishes at Ulta, but I did see a display with fake nails that tie into the collection.



Ulta also had a China Glaze nail art display with all sorts of things in it: First & Last base/top coat, For Rhinestones Only topcoat, loose glitter, foil paper, striping polishes, striping tape, nail decals, rhinestones, rhinestone tool, art brush.



Rite Aid had the CND Vinylux Nude collection display, with four new neutral shades: Uncovered, Unlocked, Unmasked, and Unearthed. There's the matching topcoat here as well, along with a limited edition mini set with three of the colors and a mini topcoat.



Essie has expanded the shades available in their TLC (Treat Love & Color) line. I first encountered this line expansion in a three-sided floor display at a Walgreens (well, it's six-sided, but only three sides have polish).

The sheer finish side has the original TLC shades (late 2016/early 2017; see this display post) plus some new ones I don't recall seeing before. Top row: Gloss Fit (two slots), Treat Me Bright, Sheers to You (x2). Bottom row: Laven-dearly, Tinted Love (x2), Minimally Modest (x2).



The shimmer finish side has six shades. Top row: In the Balance (two slots), Loving Hue, Work for the Glow (x2). Bottom row: See the Light (x2), Tonal Taupe (x2), Time to Unwind.



The cream finish side has shades from the first line expansion (mid-2017, see thisdisplay) plus new ones. Top row: In a Blush, Pinked to Perfection, Daytime Dreamer, Power Punch Pink, Glowing Strong. Middle row: Good Lighting (sold out), Right Hooked, Mint Condition, Indi-go for It, On the Mauve (sold out). Bottom row: On the Mauve (sold out), Mauve-tivation, A-Game, Tone It Up, Can't Hardly Weight.



Fred Meyer had a smaller display with a subset of the Essie TLC shades. Front row: Gloss Fit, Sheers to You, Tinted Love, Minimally Modest, In the Balance, Work for the Glow, Tonal Taupe, Time to Unwind. Back row: In a Blush, Power Punch Pink, Glowing Strong, Good Lighting, Mint Condition, On the Mauve, Mauve-tivation, A-Game, Tone It Up, Can't Hardly Weight.



In the Gel Couture line, Essie has the Enchanted collection. Six shades here: Matter of Fiction, Princess Charming, Once Upon a Time, Spellbound, Daring Damsel, and Good Knight. The special top coat is in the white bottles in the right hand section. (I also saw this at Ulta, on the end of the big white display unit that's



One of my Fred Meyer stores was apparently late in putting out the Gel Couture holiday display, as I just saw it this past month and it was pretty darn full. Colors here: Amethyst Noir, Rue de la Ruby, Gold Gilding, Make the Cut, Closing Night, and Front Page Worthy. The curious thing is this isn't the same lineup as was at Ulta for this collection that I shared in October's display post. They only overlap with Gold Gilding and Amethyst Noir. Strange.



In the regular Essie line, I saw the Desert Mirage display at Fred Meyer. Left to right: Let It Glow, Blue-tiful Horizon, Seeing Stars, Lighten the Mood, Hazy Daze, and Less Is Aura. There's also Good to Go fast dry top coat here.



I guess I should have waited and not put the very picked over Finger Paints Winter Glaze display in my last display post, as I saw a much better stocked one after the holidays. Front row: Cubism Crimson, Easely Noticed, Sterling Sculpture, Base Coat, Oh My Gauche, Peacock Portrait (does not belong here; should be Daubigny's Garden with silver cap). Back: Cubism Crimson, Piece de Resistance.



Last display post I shared that I saw Incoco strips at Ulta, just plopped into a glass on the shelf. On my most recent visit, there was a proper display. I was very happy to see it. So happy, I didn't get the design names recorded. Ooops.



OPI's spring offering is the Libson collection, which I saw at NW Beauty. Their Infinite Shine display was still mostly full. Top row: Made It to the Seventh Hill (sold out or not yet stocked), Libson Wants Moor OPI, You've Got Nata on Me, Tagus in that Selfie, No Turning Back from Pink Street, We Seafood and Eat It. Bottom: Now Museum Now You Don't, A Red-vival City, Sun Sea and Sand in My Pants, Closer Than You Might Belem, Tile Art to Warm Your Heart, Suzi Chases Portu-geese.



The regular line display had a few more colors missing. Front: Made It to the Seventh Hill (in the slot that's for Now Museum Now You Don't), A Red-vival City, Sun Sea and Sand in My Pants, Closer Than You Might Belem (gone), Tile Art to Warm Your Heart (gone), Suzi Chases Portu-geese. Back: Made It to the Seventh Hill (empty due to earlier misplacement), Libson Wants Moor OPI, You've Got Nata on Me, Tagus in that Selfie, No Turning Back from Pink Street, We Seafood and Eat It (gone).



Ulta was starting to stock Libson as well, but in that awful backlit white display unit, so I didn't bother trying to get good shots there.

I almost never see new Orly in stores anymore, so I was happy to spot two mini sets in Kohls even though they looked like they were leftover from fall/winter. Velvet Dream on the left has Silken Quartz, Velvet Kaleidoscope, Black Cherry, and Just Bitten. Darlings of Defiance contains Champagne Slushie, Secondhand Jade, Stiletto on the Run, and Once in a Blue Moon.



I shared the Revlon Chrome Sweet Chrome display last time, too, but it was short two shades. Since then, I did come across a display at Walgreens that had all the colors: Hologasm, Fairy Dust, Amethyst Smoke , Blushing, Gilded Goddess, Unicornicopia, Molten Magic, Galactic Pink.



Something new I've only seen in one Walgreens so far is the Color Charge display from Revlon. This is labelled Limited Edition, but I don't know if that applies to all the products or just some of them. There are four shades of nail polish here: one silver and three jellies. Left to right in the back: Silver Base Coat (x2), Hibiscus Jelly, Crimson Jelly, Violet Jelly.



Sally Hansen is still putting out new things, if not at the pace they once did. Their Nails with a 3D Touch display, which I saw first at Walgreens, has a meh assortment of polishes but something very interesting in the nail art department: textured applique stickers meant to be put between coats of colored polish. I've not seen these from a mainstream brand before. There are three varieties (top to bottom along the right side): Geometric, Knit, and Floral. The polish colors here are Off the Shoulder (beige), Blush Against the World (light pink), Killer Heels (red), Red It Online (also red), Rose to the Occasion (medium pink), You Glow Girl (gold, sold out of this particular display). There's also a spot for Double Duty base/top coat.









A different Walgreens had a freestanding display for Nails with a 3D Touch. I neglected to rearrange the polishes in this one so they were in their proper slots for the photo; it's the same shades as in the shelftop display above.



The Sally Hansen Welcome to Your Always On Salon display, which I saw at Fred Meyer, has new shades of Color Therapy, Xtreme Wear, and Complete Salon Manicure, along with new Big Polish Guards. Color Therapy shades, left section—front row: Namas-grey, Sunrise Salutation, Wine Therapy; back row: In My Element, Burnished Bronze, Plum Euphoria. Xtreme Wear shades, center section—front row: Day Cream, Red-ical Rockstar, Drop the Beet, Rock My Way; back row, center section: On Cloud Shine, Camel-ot (looks like a Drop the Beet got in this slot in front of the camel). Complete Salon Manicure shades, right section (same as ones in 3D display)—front: You Glow Girl, Killer Heels, Rose to the Occasion; back: Red It Online, Blush Against the World, Off the Shoulder.



The Big Polish Guards are cuticle protectors. They look like bandages to use in place of liquid latex.



There's a display with just new Color Therapy shades; this was at Walgreens. Shades here (same as three-line display above): Namas-grey, Sunrise Salutation, In My Element, Burnished Bronze, Wine Therapy, and Plum Euphoria. Color Therapy Cuticle Oil and Top Coat round out the display.



There's also a Color Therapy Vivid Pinks display, which has a somewhat generous definition of "pink". I think these are core shades. I saw it at Fred Meyer. Front row: Rosy Quartz, Primrose & Proper, Rosy Glow, Berry Smooth, Mauve Mantra. Back row: Robes and Rose, Pampered in Pink, Soak at Sunset, Couple's Massage, Auran't You Relaxed. This also has the Top Coat and Cuticle Oil.



Going to a get together in the city took me past a Walgreens that's not on my typical polish-hunting route, but I might need to change that, as it's the only place I saw the sidekick version of the SinfulColors Decked Out display. This was after Christmas, but it was still fairly full, including the boxed gift sets on the top row (single bottles and three packs with two colors and a clear). I didn't take the time to document all the shades here as it seemed sort of random by this point, but I did take the time to look through all the polishes and was able to find more of the limited edition shades to go with the Smash Hit that I grabbed when I saw the small picked-over display at Fred Meyer that I shared last display post.



Moving on to this year's collections, SinfulColors has a New Shades 2018 display. I saw a six color version at Rite Aid. Front: Top Coat (not new), Coco Bae, Unicorns are Real. Back: Rorange, Forbitten Fruit, Acapella Ella.



I saw an eight-slot version of the New Shades 2018 display at Fred Meyer, and it was mostly a mess, but it did have one new shade, Electric Sage, that wasn't in the Rite Aid display I saw and probably should have been where the top coat was. Left to right: Acapella Ella, Out of This World (from Decked Out), Out with a Bang (Decked Out), Forbitten Fruit, Electric Sage, Planet Out (Color Beyond), Coco Bae, Smash Hit (Decked Out).



I still want to find the Walgreens version of the New Shades 2018 display, as according to the SinfulColors website, there are four Walgreens exclusive shades.

SinfulColors Valentine's display this year is called Color Crave. I saw this big version at Fred Meyer. Front: Devil's Stare, No Heart Feelings (new), Pink Smart, Boom Boom, Candy Gram (new). Back: I Want S'amour (new), Bitten, Snow Me White, Clear Coat, No Heart Feelings.



There was a smaller version of Color Crave at Rite Aid. It had the same new shades but a different assortment of core/reissues. Front: Candy Gram, No Heart Feelings, Gold n' Roses. Back: I Want S'amour, Besos for Pesos, Lie-lac.



As the weather gets warmer in the valley, it'll be easier for me to make trips down to the cities so I'm hoping to have more displays to share before too long. My Kmart closed, so I can't look for polishes there anymore, sadly. I do need to make an effort to get to Sally Beauty more often; it's just a bit out of the way so I skip it when I'm short on time. I should also maybe try to get to the independent beauty supply store downtown that I've only been to once, though their hours are such that it's difficult when I'm coming down for an evening gathering. I know, I'm lucky to have such issues.
