Beauty Tips for Women: Christmas in July Polish Haul

Posted on by

I wanted to share some deals I had come across in the month of July making it Christmas in July.

Sally Beauty store was holding a buy one get one deal on China Glaze, Orly and Gelish polish.  I had read online some complaints about some Sally stores not advertising the sale with any signs therefore not honoring the deal, so the advice was to print out the deal or be able to pull it up on your phone.  So armed with this info I headed to my Sally Beauty store and as expected the sale was not advertised anywhere.  I pulled up the advertisement on my phone and showed the cashier and asked if they were honoring this deal, she said yes and called over a manager who was not to happy about honoring the deal.

I managed to pick up two China Glaze polishes, Hawaiian Punch and Love Letters, for only $3.29. Both were on clearance so it turned out to be an amazing deal.

After a very stressful day, I decided to take a stroll at Sally Beauty store but anther location with no intentions of purchasing anything, just some healthy window shopping.  In their clearance section was a China Glaze Christmas 2012 set for $2.99.  I could not believe my eyes.  I certainly didn’t expect to see these sets again and certainly not for that price.  I had missed out on getting a set, or perhaps all the sets, when they came out so this certainly was awesome.  The polishes in the set are Red Satin and Winter Holly.

The second deal is on Milani polish.  I don’t know how long this clearance has been going on at Target but they had a good amount of Milani cosmetics on clearance and all of the Milani polishes are included.  Here are the colors listed from left to right: White On The Spot, Teal, Jiffy Orange, Fresh Teal, Gold, Gems, and Hot Pink. All the polishes I picked up were $1.98.  A great deal.  So definitely check out your Target store to see if they also are having this sale.

Looking forward to using all these colors in manicures.

Beauty Tips for Women: China Glaze – Elephant Walk

Posted on by

I wanted to share a manicure I did using China Glaze Elephant Walk from their On Safari Collection.

Elephant Walk is a beautiful grey with silver shimmer.  I tried to capture how nice this color is, so this is a picture intense post.  The shimmers are more present under lights or the sun.  Elephant Walk tends to lean towards the green side, depending on the lights.  I had no problems with the formula; it was smooth and easy to apply.  I used two coats for this manicure.


I could not resist adding some stamping to this manicure.  I used Winstonia W115 to add cute elephants walking across my nails.  I stamped with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes.

I give Elephant Walk 5 brains.
