First Ulta Clearance Haul (and many more to come)

5:09 PM Posted In , , , Edit This 6 Comments »
I finally have my internet up and running at home so there will be a NOTD in here and another one coming.

I headed to my new (to me) Ulta store (since I just moved) and checked out their clearance section and here is what I snagged:


(l-r) OPI TopCoat, Shorts Story, Rimmel Play Fast in Pop Quiz, Push It, Night Life, and Night Before.
I got OPI TopCoat and Shorts Story with Free Pink Shimmer Wristlet originally $9.95 now $4.95 and All Rimmel Play Fast were originally $3.69 now $.99!!
I highly recommend you head over to your nearest Ulta store and have a look-see. I'm heading to another one today ;) Shhh...don't tell the bf!


And I used Rimmel in Push It as a base (2 coats) and Pop Quiz for the tips in the pic below.


I really need to get my cuticles in better shape :( They look really bad in this pic *please ignore*

I am not sure if this is an old formula and bottle because even though they are 'Play Fast' they seemed to take FOREVER to dry. Even when they did they still had a little 'push' to them. I mean that if I touched my nail at the tip the polish would clump together (like it was dry) but move back over the nail- if that makes sense :)

I also couldn't find these online on rimmel's site, which makes me think they are old as well.

Anyone know?

NOTD: Bouquet of Red Roses Konad V-Day Mani

OK really a bad pic and bad application, but I'm not changing it!


And one of the worse pics on top of it!

I used

OPI Make Love 3 coats (4 on some b/c of streaking/dragging)

For the m65 Konad: Ulta brand np Totally Hot

This was extra hard to do b/c the stamper for Konad is RED!!! I didn't think about that going into it!

My first attempt I used Isadora Summer Red, but it was too runny. Then after I finished this horrid thing I topped it with Nail Tek II topcoat and it SMEARED

*sobs to herself AND hangs head in shame*

I'm afraid to ask what you think...but I will anyways

And any advice with Konading?
