I GOT MY HANDS ON MILANI DRESS MAKER!

Sorry, I am just so excited, I went to like 4 different CVS today and 1 Walgreens yesterday before I came across a stand that had it. And They only had one left! It's like it was there waiting for me :)! (I still want more!) And after seeing the stand I am considering getting "bare to wear" and "fashion design". If any of you have those colors please swatch them and send me the picture or tell me what you think of the colors. I am just doing a quick post to show you some pictures I have taken with my blackberry along the way through my journey.
In the first few stores all the stands seemed to taunt me like this^
A few days before I found this Revlon heaven. I had purchased some sented nail polishes from them a month or two back and I guess they brought them back with summer shades... AGAIN. But it game me the opportunity to buy Minted which I had been MAJOR lemming. I considered buying the coral (last one to the right, the one next to the top coat) but I just have so many corals... but I am regretting not getting it now :/
My local Walgreens has a lot of Milani, especially the old ones. I just hate how most pharmacies have nail polish closer to the floor... it's such a hassle. I was wondering how much your local drug store carries.

And I am a CVS girl to tell you the truth but I popped into the Walgreens the other day and saw this! This is so new to me! Since when has OPI become so ...available everywhere?! haha.



I saved the best for last. A picture of ... drum roll please.... dress maker.... Sorry I could only swatch it on top of my NOTD (Essie Lapis of Luxury with Essie's Matte About You Top Coat.)


Well that's about it for now! Peace love polish!

  3. About 2 years ago, I did a merchandising job on OPI at Kmart!

    Man, I can't find any the new Milani's at CVS. I have suspections they have them in the back and just are not getting around to getting them out on the floor.

  6. I've never seen OPI at Walgreens. That's one messed up Milani display in that first pic, like they just put the new ones randomly into either new display. Or maybe it's messed up that I can look at the display and know which colors don't belong there. :)

  7. @KarenD yeah that kind of ticked me off but finally at the second CVS I went to it was in the proper display. The world was right again.

    And yeah, thats what I said.... maybe it's just that one because that Walgreens is next to a GBS beauty supply.

  8. My CVS carries Orly and OPI, its so random! My Walgreens has Milani right on the bottom, too, its makes me feel bad having to crouch down to look at polish!

    Dress Maker is gorgeous, it was meant to be on your hands! :)

  9. I have seen OPI in Target and Kmart but apparently they aren't "authorized" to sell OPI polishes. OPI made an announcement on their facebook page about licensed OPI retailers.

  10. My Walgreens doesnt have OPI either! How frustrating is it to see new displays of old colors haha. Congrats on finding Dress Maker!
