Displays I've Been Saving Up

Since my previous display post back in early May, I've been doing some travelling again, with a couple trips to western Washington to visit family (I'm on a second one in two months as I type this), a quick weekend in Portland, and two weeks road tripping around Idaho, along with a few day trips down to the city. I am not quite as dedicated as before to going into all the locations of all the stores to look for polish displays but do try to get to a good variety of places to see what I can see. I saw a China Glaze Havana Nights display at Sally Beauty but because of the type of display it was I have no idea what was missing or if what was there was even what should be. I know, I've made this complaint before. I'll probably make it again.

 

I almost missed the Essie Let It Ripple collection at Fred Meyer because its display card was missing. Fortunately, a few of the shimmers were eye catching enough to pull my eye in their direction. Left to right: Earn Your Tidal, Tide of Your Life, Cliff Hanger, In the Cab-ana, Wetsuited Up, and Good Vibrations.

 

Fred Meyer had new shades of Essie Expressie as well. This had slots for: Multi-Player Moves, No Time to Pause (sold out), Thumb-Surfing, Remote Friends, Ahead of the Game(r) (sold out), Don't Glitch Get Better, Take Controller, Leveled Up, Virtual Velocity, and Beat the Clock (sold out).

 

I also saw the Essie Ferris of Them All collection at Fred Meyer. Nine shades here: Air Spun Fun, Ice Cream and Shout, Amuse Me, All Fun & Games, Ferris of Them All, Win Me Over, Let It Slide, and Main Attraction.

 

Rounding out the Essie finds at Fred Meyer, there was a display of Essie Gel Couture with six shades: First Fitting, Inside Scoop, Gallery Glam, Museum Muse, Behind the Glass, and Steel the Show. From what I can see online, Gallery Glam, Museum Muse, and Behind the Glass are the Museum Muse collection; the others are repromotes.

 

I had to visit three different Ulta stores to find a display for the Essie Tie-Dye collection Give It a Swirl (only at Ulta. This has Blanc from the core collection plus three limited edtion shimmers— Don't Get It Twisted (pink), Give It a Swirl (lilac), and All Tie-Dyed Up (sky blue)—plus Gel Setter Top Coat. There are directions on the display for creating nail art, plus a brush that was free with purchase of a polish.

 

 

When I was in Portland, I found a CVS; hadn't been in one of those in a long time. They had a display of imPress fake nails by Kiss, including some limited edition sets done in collaboration with Jess Conte, who is apparently a "content creator and musician".

 

In the core display section at Fred Meyer, I spotted the LA Color Glitter Vibes collection, which I don't recall seeing before (I usually remember glitter): Highkey, Pure Blush, Golden Glow, Pink Bling, City Girl, Purple-razzi, Drippin', and Finesse.

 

Not a display, but the endcap at Walmart with clearance items and random stuff people just decided to set down there had the only bottle of LA color Neon Jelly that I've seen in the wild. I looked everywhere to see if this bottle's display was still around but didn not find it. This blue is called Razzle Berry; there are seven other shades in the line, available on the LA Colors website.

 

There was an LBK display at Walgreens, a place I've not seen the brand before. This was Rockin' the Neon Palooza. There are nine bright shades here; I moved the bottles around so the right hand section was complete and filled with the colors that matched the names printed on the display. Front: Party Time, Funkadelic, Laser Lemon. Middle: Peace, Hot to Trot, Purple Haze. Back: Rave, Lime & Coconut, Pinkalooza.

 

I didn't see the Morgan Taylor Feel the Vibes display at Sally Beauty until it was mostly sold out, but fortunately they had a swatch card. Slots left to right: All Day All Night, Spin Me Around, Into the Lime-light, Orange Crush Blush, It's My Moment, Keepin' It Cool.

 

 

A Fred Meyer in Washington was the first place I saw the Nailtopia brand outside of an Ulta. It was just a single shelftop display with a fraction of the shades in the big core display at Ulta, but I was still happy to see it. This had slots for these shades: When the Night Falls, Blank Slate, Nailed It (the slot for which had what looked like a base coat in it, which was odd since there was no slot for base coat, so I wonder if there was another display I missed), Nails on Fleek (empty), Bali Baby, Kissin' in the Rain, Tira-Miss-You, Mocho Loco, Sol Glow, Tropinail, and Ruby Slippers (empty).

 

At a Fred Meyer closer to home in Idaho, the mystery of the Nailtopia base coat was resolved: this store had two shelf displays, one of which did have a slot for base coat. Top display, left to right: Started from the Bottom (base coat), Top of Your Game (top coat), So Fresh So Clean, Do or FiDi, Juice Cleanse, Yacht Week, Forest Hills (empty), Run Now Wine Later (empty), Smokey Road, Jomo (empty), Hawaiin Blues. Bottom display is same as at the other Fred Meyer above.

 

I am always happy when I see new OPI collections at Walgreens because the displays are so straightforward; one slot for each color, with an indication of what the shade looks like if it's sold out. So nice compared to the backlit cluttered jumble that usually faces me when I go to Ulta. In this case, Walgreens had the Malibu collection. Fron row: From Dusk Til Dune, Coastal Sand-tuary, El Mat-adoring You, Endless Sun-ner, Cliffside Karaoke, Bonfire Seranade. Back row: Marigolden Hour, PCH Love Song, Strawberry Waves Forever (empty), The Sound of Vibrance, Pear-adise Cove, Mali-blue Shore.

 

They had the same display for OPI Malibu at Sally Beauty, with a different one missing, plus a nail wheel (rectangle, I guess) with all the polishes swatched.

 

Here's the Ulta endcap for OPI Malibu. The bottles are mostly gone, but they at least did have the lineup pictured, and I did like the dotted rainbow heart.

 

It had been so long since I'd been in a CVS that this was the first time I saw the new Poparazzi bottles. They still have the polka dotted caps, but they're cylindrical now. I didn't document the whole lineup because I didn't want to push my luck taking photos.

 

 

Some time back, I swatched two Pop Beauty polishes I got out of the clearance bins at Walgreens. I noted I'd never seen the brand there and was puzzled. Well, I came across a Walgreens that had a display for Pop Beauty. Mostly empty, but still, evidence of what sort of thing I missed at that other store when I wasn't going out much. There are slots here for (starting top left): Lightshow, Zing-C, So Bomb, Watermelon Wow, POM POM, Wine O'Clock, Pastel Fleur, Passion Punch, ZZZ Pink, Purple AF,l Black Cherry, Marshmallow, Pirouette Pink, Hint of Mint, Be Green, Aqua Shot, and Blue Cosmos.

 

I shared a Sally Hansen Cruella collection display last time, but that one wasn't accompanied by these polish and topcoat sets with eye catching art on the box like these I saw at Ulta.

 

Ulta also came through with some Sally Hansen Insta Dri Pride variations that I hadn't seen or shared before. I think the box sets of six polishes are Ulta exclusives. One has the six colors of the familiar Pride flag (ASAP Apple, Love Wins, Yellow Lady, Yaaasss Green, Along for the Pride, and Va-Va Violet); the other has light blue (Jet Setter), pink (Pink Blink), dark blue (Along for the Pride), purple (Va-Va Violet), yellow (Yellow Lady), and white (White on Time) to use to make stripes to match the flags for transgender pride, asexual pride, and nonbinary pride as shown on the box.

 

Walgreens had a Sally Hansen Miracle Gel display called Neon Summer. Top row (these were labeled as limited edition): Feelin' Grape, Chill Out (sold out), Flash of Bright, Sun-shine On, Squeeze the Day, and Floresc-Pink. Second row (re-promotes): Miami Ice, Violet Voltage, Fuchsica Fever, Peach Please, Lemon Chilo (sold out, I seem to recall this used to be called Lemonchillo, all one word, two l's).

 

At Fred Meyer I saw the display for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel It Takes Two, which has color at one end and top coat at the other. Yes, this is more space efficient than carrying two full size bottles around but I've learned my lesson with these double ended deals and won't be buying any. There's no good way to store them that doesn't risk getting polish on the threads, for one thing. Polish shades: Quartz & Kisses, Saturn It Up, Sundown Socialite, Can't Beet Royalty, Rain-Glow, Once Chiffon a Time, Hyp-nautical, Sugar Fix, Get Mod, and Onyx Perfected. All paired with Shiny Top Coat. I also saw these in a free standing display at Walgreens, with full size Miracle Gel bottles below them (and maybe Cover Girl makeup on the other side? I didn't get a good photo of that one as I was in that store to pick up a prescription for my mother in law so wasn't supposed to be dawdling in the makeup aisle).

 

None of the Walmarts in my area had the collection that came out earlier this year which had some glitters in it (or if they did, I missed it), but one store did get the Color Your Way display which has brights for summer. The top section of this has the One-Step Gel Pen in various colors; these look like the next generation of the Sally Hansen Color Quick and Nicole by OPI Nic's Sticks. A USB compatible gel-curing lamp is below the nail polish pens. The bottom section has sets with fake nails for one's fingers and a matching mini bottle of polish for one's toes, which other than the matching is pretty much the combination I've been sporting in my life for quite a while now.

 

 

At Ulta, I saw a mostly empty display of Scratch nail wraps. I was thinking about buying one to try then saw the directions called for using a non-quick dry top coat on them, and that's not my jam.

 

SinfulColors distribution continues to be frustrating. I did see the Vacay Vibes display at Fred Meyer, but it only had three new (maybe limited edition?) shades mixed with Quick Bliss colors we've seen before. Left to right in front: Dragon Fruitie (new), Juicy, Colada Mama (new), Hit the Spot, Mushy Gushy Mango (new), Flushed. I was too discouraged to document the rest of the bottles. Apparently the only place to get the whole collection of six colors is Walmart, maybe only online as a set. I want to buy individually in the store; I don't need another pink creme like Dragon Fruitie, even if it is scented.

 

On the road, I visited a Walmart that had a whole endcap of SinfulColors, with eight SinfulColors Claws artificial nail sets right at the top, including some I'd not seen before. I might have gotten some but I just hate having to find an employee to unlock them. I'm sure they've done the math and found the sales they lose out on this way aren't as valuable as the stock they lose to theft. At least I hope they have.

 

Somewhere in my travels, I visited an Ulta that didn't have the backlist polish display unit, so was able to get this much better photo of the Ulta Gel Shine Trop the Beat collection than I shared last display post. Left to right: In Pursuit of Passion Fruit, Dragon-licious, Guava Stay Up All Night, Papaya to Dance, Mango Tango, Lei Back & Hula, Seashells & Sand Dollars.

 

At a different, regrettably backlit, Ulta, I saw the 90s Please collection (which doesn't say limited edition so may just be a grouping of core colors): Goal Getter, Facts (though now that I look at this bottle, seems it might be Finesse in Fact's slot), Party Like a Patriot, Finesse (sold out), Americana, #Mood, Black Magic.

 

Wet 'n' Wild is continuing to release stuff under the Fantasy Makers line even when it's not Halloween. This time it was some artificial nail sets I saw at Walmart, in a sidekick with general beauty products like applicators. Left to right: Wild Gal (solid black with black/white animal print accent nails), Feeling Myself (solid deep pink with lighter pink glitter accents), Sunset Spirit (peach iridiscent with coral/gold glitter accents), In a Daze (three colors of glitter: purple, magenta, and peach). These sets have glue included with them.

 

Okay, that's it for this display post. I'm hoping to have more next month, as I am planning some more travel, though of course the Delta variant may affect those plans. Yes, I'm vaccinated, but so many in my area are not (most by choice, not because they can't for legitimate medical reasons).

Holos from LBK

When I happen to have sun on a swatching day, I reach for holographic polishes. On this particular bright afternoon, I pulled out some I'd gotten from LBK, my first two from this brand: Katie's Witness and Beaming Brityn.

 

Katie's Witness is a pale silvery pink that was easy to apply and opaque in two coats. The flip up tip on the cap to show the color was a good match for what it looked like on my nails (sort of a built in swatch ring, though maybe not as durable, as I saw a few bottles in the store with theirs missing ... granted the store was Walmart). Under indirect light, there are the slightest hints of the rainbow in the the shimmer.

 

 

Directly under a desk lamp, the colors come out to play:

 

In the sun, Katie's Witness gives the full holo experience. The linear effect is not quite as smooth as say, Chanel Holographic, but this is a lot cheaper and easier to find.

 

 

Beaming Brityn is a purple-leaning medium pink. It too, was easy to apply and opaque in two coats.

 

 

Here it in under my desk lamp:

 

 

And here it is in full sun; at some angles it looked almost lilac:

 

 

I don't know if these two are in stores anymore, but I checked yesterday and they are both for sale on the on the LBK website. Unfortunately so is a shade I thought about and passed on in the store, so I might have to order that one. And then another color to get free shipping at $15. This is how I filled my Helmers to overflowing.

Stepping Out of My Bubble for Displays

It's been two months since my pandemic-affected display post consisting of the limited selection of things I'd seen while hunting for necessities at Walmart and Dollar Tree. As the some of the shortages have been easing, my detours from the grocery stores have been less, so as of late last week, I'd only seem about three new displays and one of those I only snapped a photo of to make a point that it had no polish in it. But that all changed when I made my first trip out of my home county in five months and popped into places I hadn't set foot in since the pandemic started. I masked up and went to Walgreens and Rite Aid and Walmart and Kohls and Target and Ulta and Sally Beauty and Fred Meyer, sanitizing my hands in between stores like it was my job. Some of the places didn't have anything worthy of documenting—either they've cut back on stock due to conditions or I missed what new they had during my long absence—but there was enough to see that I was getting a bit worn out by the time I buckled in at my last stop and did the hour plus drive home.

I was happy to see an untouched Essie Fall 2020 display at Walgreens; I'd only previously spotted them at Walmart, placed in the polish wall where the shelf labels were obscured by cretins trying colors out on them and at least one of the colors missing, either sold out, not yet stocked, or put in the wrong place. Six shades here: Adrenaline Brush, Don't Be Spotted, Swing of Things, Cargo Cameo, Waterfall in Love, and Heart of the Jungle. This style of cardboard display wasn't something I'd seen from Essie before as far as I recall.



To be fair, I did see them also at the Walmart in the bigger city and their nail polish section wasn't nearly as bad as my local store; they even had the display card to tell people it was the fall collection.



Rite Aid had a different style of cardboard display than Walgreens but with the same imagery.



Ulta didn't have the Essie fall collection but did still have a summer display with at least one of each shade still in it: Worth the Tassel, Bustling Bazaar, Mosaic on Down, Spice it Up, Souq Up the Sun, and Kaf-tan.



Ulta also had some of the things I'd seen on their website but not in person yet, including the Essie Gel Couture Sunset Soiree collection. Left to right: Atelier at the Bay, Coastal Couture, Low Tide High Slit, Sunset Soiree, Sequins on the Rocks (plus Chiffon the Move and Top Coat, both core).



And the Essie Perfect 10 collection (which I think was supposed to tie in to the Olympic gymnastics for the summer games which aren't happening now). Three shades here are Balancing Act, Summer-sault, and Perfect 10.



There was also a Perfect 10 gift set with Balancing Act and three pairs of earrings.



Fred Meyer had a mostly empty Essie Expressie display which said both "limited edition speed of life collection" and "new shades", so I'm not sure if all were LEs or not. Slots left to right: Clock In (sold out, pale grey), On to the Next (pale pink), Speed of Life, Energized & Wise, Fueled Up, So Matcha Energy (sold out, grey green), Re-charge to Take Charge (sold out, slate blue), Expresso Double Shot, In the Fast Lane (sold out, dark brown), High Energy Low Stress.



Walmart had a sidekick display for LBK, which had some colors from the core line that's in the regular nail polish section as well as some other shades. Top row: Beaming Brityn (times 2), Katie's Witness, Claire's Creation (core), Ultralicious, Ultra Violet Rays (x2), Lola Belle (core). Bottom row: Jewel of Janelle (core), Elyse (core), Kylie (core), Strong Hildy (core), Driven Mattie (core), Lovely Lavender, Bluetiful You, Gel-Like Topcoat (core), Base Coat (core). The two that most intrigued me were Beaming Brityn and Katie's Witness, as those looked like good holos. I bought those two and now looking at this I'm sort of wishing I'd also gotten Ultra Violet Rays and maybe Ultralicious, as those seem to be re-names of the two Ulta exclusives from last year (Ulta to Ultra is not that big a leap), and Bluetiful You looks good to me now, too, even though I most likely have dupes or near enoughs of all three of them. With any luck they won't be there the next time I go back and the decision will be out of my hands.



The only thing new at my Sally Beauty was Mini Mani Moo Gel No More gel polish remover, wihch apparently you brush on over gel, glitter, or other hard to remove polish and push it off.



I'd seen the Nailtopia brand on the Ulta website and was delighted to see a big display of it in the store. Some colors were sold out but there were plenty left to enjoy. This seems to be aimed at the same "natural" niche as Sally Hansen Good Kind Pure. I was surprised to do the math and find that despite the fancy bottles with the raised leaf design, it's a better value per ml than the Sally Hansen, at least at Ulta prices. Nailtopia is $10 for a 14ml bottle, while Good Kind Pure is $8.99 for 10ml. The front of the display has 77 (!) slots, so 75 colors plus the base and top coat.



The side of the display (only one side has product) has mini duo kits, treatments (infused with orange, blueberry, raspberry, or spinach), and remover (that's avocado "flavored").



A closer look at the colors, starting from the top. First row: That's the Tea, Slay All Day, Hustle Hard (in the slot for Shooting Stars, a dark blue), Hustle Hard, Glow Up, That's Hot, Squad Goals, Trust the Process, Nails on Fleek (sold out, blue green), Keep it 100, Jomo. Second row: Kissin' in the Rain, Do of FiDi, Uptown Girl, One in a Melon, Bronz & Boujee, Bird of Paradise, Pizza Queen, You Got this Babe, Goodnight Kiss, Rosey Cheeks, Nailed It.



Third and fourth rows below. Top: Started from the Bottom (sold out, clear pink base coat), So Fresh So Clean (in the slot for Top of Your Game, clear top coat), So Fresh So Clean, Sunday Funday, Doing Great Sweetie, Hold on Tight, Morning Fog, Namastaybeautiful, Creme de la Creme, Champagne Dreams, Les Mess. Bottom: Harlem Shake, Lilita from Nolita, West Side Story, Just Peachy, Queen of Queens, Red Hot Summa (sold out, orange red), Engine #5, Don't Kill My Vibe, Feelin' Spicy, Run Now Wine Later, Ruby Slippers.



Fifth and sixth rows below. Top: Mellow Yellow, Sol Glow, Union Square Pair, Juice Cleanse (says "cleans" on display), I Sea You, Yacht Week, Forest Hills (sold out, dark green), Passion Player, When the Night Falls (in the slot for Set the Pace, light purple), Smoky Road, Slide in my DMs. Bottom: Tropinail, Hawaiian Blues, Hula Girl, Bali Baby, Blank Slate, Stay Inspired (sold out, medium purple), Indigoto Ibiza, Ride the Wave (sold out, medium blue), Spill the Juice (sold out, fuchsia), Curve Ball (bright purple), When the Night Falls.



Seventh row below: Camel Pose, Mocho Loco, Tira-Miss-You, Liquid Gold, Not Today, Dream Big, But First Coffee, Hater Blocker, Dynasty, Back to Basics (display leaves out the "to" but website doesn't), Respect.



There are three duo mini kits, designed to layer (similar to the Defy + Inspire ones at Target): Good Night Blue (Good Night Kiss + The Deep Blue = purple), Smokey Road Glow (sold out, Smokey Road + Hampton Glow = platinum), and Slay Smile Sparkle (Slay All Day + Smile Sparkle Repeat = purple). One of the polishes in each is a core shade but the other is not.



I was keeping an eye out for the OPI Neo-Pearl collection, but never came across it. At Walgreens, I did see a mostly empty display for the Hidden Prism collection, which hadn't made it onto my radar at all. The two colors that were left were Ray-Diance (yellow) and Gleam On (green). Missing were Magic Hour (yellow orange), She's a Prismatic (pink), Rainbows a Go Go (red violet), and Pigment of My Imagination (blue). Based on the bottles that were here, these look more appealing to me than the Neo-Pearl colors I saw online (these are brighter and seem to have that shifty sort of flecked shimmer I love to layer with). I might need to look online and see if I can get the set somewhere.



The OPI Muse of Milan end at Ulta was pretty picked over when I got there.



Fred Meyer had a more well stocked but less well identified display. Top row: Falling for Milan, Have Your Panettone and Eat It too, My Italian is a Little Rusty, Drama at La Scala, This Color Hits All the High Notes, Duomo Days Isola Nights. Bottom: Suzi Talks with Her Hands, OPI Nails the Runway, Galleria Vittorio Violet, Addio Bad Nails Ciao Great Nails, Leonardo's Model Color (sold out, purple), Complimentary Wine (sold out, deepest berry).



At my local Walmart, I'd seen an endcap display for Revlon's tie in with the new Wonder Woman movie. It had no nail polish in it and no slots for nail polish that I could see. So I was a bit surprised to see a small shelf display for the collection at both Walgreens and Fred Meyerthat did have a little nail polish polish in it along with the other makeup. Two shades, both core, with the Wonder Woman logo in gold on the caps: Revlon Red on the light side and the blue Sultry on the dark side.





It being August already, the Sally Hansen Pride displays were gone, but those were all core colors, many of which I had already (though without striped caps). What Walgreens did have was Sally Hansen Halloween displays. Normally I'd probably complaing about it being too early, but this year I'm just happy to see them. I apologize for the wonky photo; I was apparently too excited to notice I hadn't gotten a good overall shot. On top there's Xtreme Wear that appeared to be all core colors; on the bottom it's Insta Dri with some core colors but also seven shades in a Sour Patch Kids collection.



Here's the display card I cut off in the shot above: Xtreme Wear Monster Color and Shine. The mummy-wrapped fingers are a nice touch.



I did have the presence of mind to neaten up the Insta Dri display a bit, pulling the Sour Patch Kids colors into the front section. Left to right: Clearly Quick (core), White on Time (core), Pump-kid, The Un-red, Boo-lue, RIP-urple, Hallogreen, Ghouls Night Out, and First Sour Then Sweet. All of these are cremes except for the last one, which has tiny white matte glitter in a clear base. Despite having enough cremes, and despite the sale touted on the display not starting until a couple days later, I scooped these up and hope to get swatches done soon.



Walgreens also had some Sally Hansen Good Kind Pure colors I hadn't seen before, starting with the limited edition Seaside Escape display. There were core colors in the back half; the limited edition shades in front were: Mango Punch (empty slot, looks like a soft coral from the color chip), Pink Sand, Blue-tanical, and Mint Refresh. It was easy to skip these as I wasn't wowed by the formula of the ones I have (and I do not lack for pastels in my stash).



There were also new core shades of Good Kind Pure, which they had both in a shelf display near the front of the store and in a section in the nail polish wall deeper in. It was slightly confusing to me that these new shades were also referred to as the Back to Nature collection yet there were no greens or browns but I'm not a marketing expert. The new colors were mixed with core colors in the shelf display, and there were fewer of them there, so take a quick look and then let's move on to the section in the nail polish section of the regular aisle.



Here's the display card in the nail polish aisle, showing color chips for eight shades versus the six on the shelf display.



And here are the polishes themselves: Honey Harmony, Pink Magnolia, Passion Flower, Frosted Amethyst, Natural Spring, Simply Stone, Lavender Haze, Warm Cacao. So okay, there is one brown there.



I found the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Marine Metals collection display tucked into the drugstore nail polish aisle at Ulta. This had core colors along with the new ones (I didn't see limited edition on this at all). Of the new shades, the only ones that weren't sold out by the time I saw this were Sunken Treasure (gold glitter) and Deep Sea Diamond (silver glitter).



Fortunately, I'd noticed a section of Miracle Gel at Walmart that seemed new despite having no signage to indicate that ... it had the new shades missing from the Ulta display as well as another one that wasn't listed on the Ulta display though is included in the group on the Sally Hansen Facebook page. Left to right: Get Mod (existing core), Onyx-pected (existing core), Hue There (times 2), Hyp-nautical, Holllaa-gram, Deep Sea Diamond, Sunken Treasure.



The Walmart I went to had no new Sinful Colors, but Fred Meyer had the So Savage display, which has a bunch of core colors plus two snake-like top coats (which look on the display card to be crackles of the type we've seen before): Sss-sparkle, a gold, and Snake It Happen, a black. They're on the right side section of the display, flanking one of the Quick Bliss colors.



Ulta had a limited Woke Up in Paris collection in their self-named line, but it was impossible for me to get a good photo of it due to the backlit display. Here's as good as I could get of most of the shades: A Beret Good Time, City of Love, Paris Please, Bonjour Babe, Rainy Days, Views from the Top. Not pictured: France-y Pants (light orchid). They also had a Neon Lights collection, but those photos turned out even worse. I can tell you that in addition to the Snow White to be used as a base, there were five colors: Bananarama (yellow), Mingle Flamingo (bright pink), Heat Warning (bright coral), Fam Jam (bright purple), and Party Like a Patriot (blue). Those were labeled "new" rather than LE, so should be around for a bit.



On Target's nail polish wall, there was a brand I'd not seen before: TenOverTen, which seems to be another "natural/non-toxic" line. The top row had base coat, top coat, remover, oils and treatments. The colors on the bottom: Washington, Canal, Madison, Jane, Watts, Mulberry, Liberty, Austin, Church, Oliver, Cliff, Hester, Elizabeth, Delancy, Ludlow, and Carmine.



Wow, it feels good to have done a proper display post again.
