Nail Haul!

  First off let me say that I am sorry for not writing a blog post in a long time, I have been swamped with school work. Anyway, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply today to look at nail polish  and I found a few great deals! First off I picked up the Belle of the Ball set and  two other China Glaze colors in Trendsetter and Princess Grace. I also picked up some nail art jars for when i depot things.
Belle of the Ball Set






  This set comes with two colors, Tinsel Town and Champagne Bubbles and a free tree ornament. I have been wanting these two colors ever since I saw the first swatches online. The set wasn't the first thing I noticed when I walked in, but as soon as I  noticed that it was with the clearance things I grabbed it up immediately! It was only $5.99 on clearance with an original price of $7.99, so not that much of a discount but I wanted the colors anyway. 
  




  










  The two colors on the right are the ones in this set. Tinsel Town is a gorgeous dark and light silver glitter, two coats is perfect and has a beautiful shine when paired with a clear topcoat. It has a lot of glitter in a dark silver liquid so it may not work as a glitter-coat over other nail polishes. Champagne Bubbles is a golden yellow with small silver glitters. It takes two coats to get it opaque. It is probably my favorite nail polish that I   bought. 
Princess Grace and Trendsetter



































 I also saw Trendsetter in a clearance bin, it was part of the spring metro collection and on sale it was only $1.99. It is a golden yellow with hints of green, it is not the prettiest color out there but it is quite appealing. With one coat it is a nice golden color but with two does get greener and also more opaque. My mom is the one who picked up Princess Grace. It is a pretty pearly light white pink color. It reaches full opaqueness with three coats but is still nice at two coats.
