Why Big Lots/Dollar Store are great for frugal beauty shoppers!

Hey guys! It's been a while, and it's summer again which means that I have more time to shop for unnecessary beauty items. Some of the places I LOVE to shop is Big Lots and the Dollar stores.

Why Big Lots! is so great;

I can't stress how much I love this store. I have bought most of my nail polishes that are name brand from here.

Nail Polish brands at Big Lots!

• Sally Hansen
• Revlon
• Magnetix
• LA colors
• other brands I can't remember 

I have seen several awesome nail care products at Big Lots, they sell/sold name brand scented nail polishes, magnetic nail polishes, peel off nail polishes, cuticle gels/oils, and crackle polishes. These all vary to which Big Lots you shop at.


Why Dollar Tree is so great;

I find some great deals at the dollar tree, even though I would never buy their food items or cheap quality accessories, you can occasionally stumble upon some great brands.

Great brands I've found at Dollar Stores

• Milani
• Sinful Colors
• Cover Girl
• LA colors
• Maybelline
• Sally Hansen
• Elf
• NYC

Most of these items are discontinued or you might find them in sketchy packaging that isn't actually the actual packaging, but it does not take away from the quality of the product if you know it's trustworthy. I have found lipsticks, nail polishes, nail polish wipes, lip gloss, and non name brand nail polish stickers, nail decorations, nail tools. ONLY BUY FROM BRANDS YOU TRUST!

" I LOVE CATS! " nail design

Hello beautiful people(: I am back and I hope to be blogging at a normal pace now! anyways..

If anyone knows me, I am such a cat lover. So whats better to show my love for cats than to put them on my  nails? Cats are awesome so why not? 

The thumb nail looks similar to the pinkie nail if anyone was curious.

Want to know how to do them? Sadly I don't have step to step pictures, but I can try my best to explain.

1) Apply a base-coat and apply a white base-color.

2) Pick out 2 different shades of pink and take a makeup sponge. Then dab the lighter shade of pink onto the sponge. Apply it onto the top part of your nail, and stop once you get to the middle.

3) On a different part of your sponge, take the darker shade of pink and dab it onto the lower part of your nail. This effect is called an "ombre".

4) Make nail stickers for the cat. Currently I don't have a tutorial, but there are several ways to learn how online. I made the nail sticker for the "I" also, but you can simply brush the white on for an I using a striper. 

5) To make the cat, drop 1 drop of white onto a plastic sandwich bag, then take a needle/toothpick and make an oval. If your nail polish isn't dried yet, drag up the nail polish to make an ear on each side of the oval, you should get two ears. I dabbed more white polish onto my toothpick and added it to each ear since my polish dried.

6) Take a black polish and dab some onto the pick, then poke it into the white cat you just made, for their eyes.

Nail art beads from dollar tree! 

7) After your stickers are dry, peel them off and apply some more polish to the bottom, then apply to your nail! For the pinkie and middle finger, I used nail art beads and gems I bought from the dollar tree. The back design is a konad plate M72.

Dollar tree haul! Sally Hansen Golden Tourmaline Nail prism(discontinued holographic) and LA colors Electrified

Hello There, your just in time for NAIL POLISH TIME! YEAHH.

 Okay back to the topic :)

I bought this at the dollar tree where alot of discontinued products get thrown there, if you are there enough, you can find some pretty good stuff! Golden Tourmaline came in a two pack with another Sally Hansen polish, so it was technically .50 cents :P Its a Coral holographic polish as you can see, works just as well as any other Sally Hansen polish, but isn't as strong as other holographic polishes. One coat worked well for me.

        

Now too LA colors Electrified. I love this nail polish, I have one coat on and it dries fast to a foil ish look. It just pops out really nicely! :) Only good things come out of this bottle, it was 1 dollar.
