THAT is the glow I'm talking about
This is 3 thin coats of LA Colors Wired and a coat of Nailene TC. I love blues that have this intense glowey-ness to them that shows in the sun and in brighter lighting. Although its still too sheer for me at 3 coats, this is a winner. These are easily available in the USA at The Dollar Tree and other discount and bargain-ish shops and are available at many places on the interwebz ( Cherry Culture I think ).
These are my real nails..... my nubbins for the next few days, my pinky nails are super awkwardly long........ I am doing weird experiments w/ different products.
Also in this post is my USA make-up haul...... I cannot resist dollar tree make-up. If I didn't find all those Color-Rama's I would have bought one of each of everything they had at The Dollar Tree. Even though it'll sit in a drawer for the next year or so..... I have no control over my 12 year old self when it comes to in-expensive make-up goodies.......
I am a delinquent blogger, below is my USA make-up haul from summer and I am just getting around to posting it now.. I am straight up infatuated with the Dollar Tree in the USA, I actually paused and smiled when I wrote that ~ I will fondly remember shopping there this summer.
Below - these eye shadow's Kick bunz! They are/were $4.00 each at Walmart Canada... They are regularly $5.97 in Canada which is an awesome price for the color payoff. Also did anyone in Canada spot the holiday edition of these Wet n' Wild eye-shadows?
I picked this stuff up at CVS in the USA, it was BOGO 1/2
There is a trillion tutorial's with these. Here is a Brilliant Brunettes looks with these Wet n' Wild Pallets
Wet n' Wild Sugar Coat, Disturbia and Caught Red Handed
some eye-shadow mousse, lite colored lip-liners ( intense, long lasting color pay-off IMO ) and an eye pencil.....

This train case was an awesome deal! we rarely get cool sets like this in Canada, and if we do.... it would be $50.00. I thought the eye-shadow would be crap.... but its really good. After I got back tot he hotel with this and tried it out, I ran back to CVS to grab the two pallets above, becuase they were BOGO for 1/2...
... a bunch of photos.... I know Nouveau Cheap posted about this a few months ago.... but there could still be a few of these tucked away at a CVS new you ( USA)
Wet n' Wild Sugar Coat, Disturbia and Caught Red Handed
Posting these make-up pic's of items I found at the Dollar Tree, makes me regret not buying more..... They always have such cool stuff there. I rarely wear make-up, so its cool to find all these goodies in-expensively.
some eye-shadow mousse, lite colored lip-liners ( intense, long lasting color pay-off IMO ) and an eye pencil.....
I thought those single use tooth brush things were so neat, its actually a pretty good idea! I have purchased this St Ives lotion in 3 different provinces and in the USA and every time the formula feels different - Whats up with that?Those Revlon eye-shadow's are pretty decent, but as with any eye-product you need a good primer.
The Family Dollar is a kick-ass bargain store...... you can find LA COLORS products and ARISSA nail polish there. All these goodies below were $1.00 USD each. This Brand 'Body Fantasies' makes the most lovely body sprays. I love that cotton candy one and I bought a big huge bottle at CVS....
Also at Kmart, they had a huuuuuge rack of these in scents I had never heard of before.... caramel pear? I regret not buying that one. I think that these are sometimes a better room spray than most of the other products I have purchased for this purpose.
We have LA Colors nail art strippers in Canada, but they are not packaged like these and are usually opened, messy and dried out. I hate that! So I was happy to snag these. And check out that cute single serving Nailene nails nail sticker package, the flowers are very intricate and beautiful!
Finally - I have been looking for BLACK NON-powder coated drop earring things for ever!!!!!!! These types of things including the black wire and jump rings are expensive in Canada, and are not of good quality. I am flabbergasted that all these jewelery making supplies cost only 6 bucks USA
Also, If anyone remembers me complaining about Micheal's Crafts and how they often reduce the prices of items like 3 months after I buy something by 75% and then I freak out and vow never to shop there EVER AGAIN...... well, I guess I was there at the right time becuase I finally cashed in on some serious bargains, so like I always write and say, it pays to visit your favirote stores OFTEN♥

Boy did you do some hauling!!! I hope you had a great time here in the US!!! Love those La Colors :)
i agree...the bargains are so much better south of the border! heading over this weekend...it's always exciting to search out stuff we can't get in canada!
That is a gorgeous blue! I can't wait to see the rest of the polishes you got.
Those Dollar Stores are amazing. I have Wired. Nice to see it swatched. Great finds you made. I also bought that WetnWild Train Case. The eyeshadow case is crappy but the shadow is nice. Love the Train Case.
