So, I went to Ulta today with the intention of buying only a couple of Zoya polishes.... and of course ended up leaving with much more! haha I went in to get two polishes so I could try a gradient polish. Well they didn't have one of the shades, so I'll have to order it.... BUT I found much more! Here we go......
First, I got these fun nail stickers! OPI came out with their own stickers... they had some different designs, and I may have to try some other ones. They're pricey at $11.95... but they do apply well. I kept my file from the Sally Hansen Salon Effects and it worked exactly the same. Sally Hansen also came out with Salon Effects specifically for pedicures. Which doesn't completely make sense to me only because I am able to do a full mani/pedi with the regular Salon Effects. But they do have a few different designs for the toes that I haven't seen for manis. The one I got was Strike a Posie. They both look really nice and I love them! Not sure how often I'll get the pedi ones... probably only if there's a pattern I really love. I also just saw that Sally is coming out with (may already be out) Rock of Ages inspired Salon Effects as well!
Ok, so first thing, the packaging is completely different in these Sally Hansen pedis! I actually was afraid someone had stolen one of the packs, especially since there were two instruction sheets inside! But no, they put both sets together.
A little blurry I think... sorry! But anyway, here's the two strips.... you have to tear them apart at the bottom. But otherwise, they are exactly the same as the mani packaging. I'm not taking a pic of my feet... but trust me, they look nice. lol
This is the OPI strip.... just like the pedis! I'm sure you can apply these with the smaller gold and some black on the ends... but I went with the other side... maybe next time I'll try it that way!
This is the finished result! Very sparkly and gold! I love it. Very pretty!
These are all the shades I bought today!
Ok, I did try out the shades... this is Arizona from Zoya's new Beach and Surf collection. Looked pretty similar to OPI In My Back Pocket... but it might be a little more... burnished? It's slightly different. Anyway, this is one of the shades in the gradient and I wanted to be sure to get the exact shades! This is nice on it's own as well!
It was hard to get this one photographed because of the glitters... but it's also from the Beach and Surf Collection. This one is called Kimber and is pretty much a bright pink with tiny gold glitters. It's really pretty on. This picture doesn't do it justice!
Also from Beach and Surf... Shelby! To me it's a bubble gum pink. I don't have any pinks in this shade, so I'm excited to wear this one! I can't help but think of Steel Magnolias and Shelby with this shade... 'Pink is my signature color!' Mine too, Shelby.
Finally, I also got a new OPI shade from their Brights collection. This is Bright Lights - Big Color! Very pretty shade that I'm super excited to wear! It's a pinkish orangish shade with gold flecks. (I LOVE gold flecks if you haven't noticed haha)
Anyway, that's my haul for the day! Had to share! Hopefully I can keep up with this (and get more readers?!) from now on!
