Awesome Drug Store find


I purchased some new polishes yesterday. I always stop at Walgreen's on the day I have violin lessons. I thought perhaps I'd skip it but then... no. I had to go. I always go to the same one so week to week I don't see much but yesterday I found new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear! The display had new and old colors. Even though it said "New!" they were not all new, but I picked up two I don't believe I have ever seen before: Green With Envy and Rockstar Pink.


Green With Envy is very pigmented. It looks pretty close to opaque in one coat, and perfect in two. It's not streaky and dries super shiny! It looks like a granny smith apple. I love it.


Rockstar Pink is my NOTD even though I'm at the office! I'm trying to push what colors I wear to work little by little!! It is a jam packed glitter. It's like RBL-Locavore: 4 different color glitters suspended in a clear base, and gives a all over glitter look with 2-3 coats. It dries quickly and is awesome! Look how blingy! And it was only $3.29! Amazing. The glitter colors are royal blue, gold, red and fushcia. Seriously, this is amazing. You need to go get it. I think it might be way up there on my list of faves.(closeup)

  1. OOOOO pretty. I was just contemplating Rockstar Pink yesterday. Now I know I want it. I picked up most of the Xtreme blues. I've bought so many from Walgreens I had to do up a spreadsheet so I don't end up buying duplicates. It's a sickness.....

  3. I love both of those colors. I have to have that gorgeous glittery one. I wanted the RBL polish but it was too expensive. Now I know I can get this one instead. They both look fantastic on you.

  7. Lucy-Thank you! RBL's kill the wallet. This one though made me think of it right away. The glitter size and concentration of glitter is the same. And the fact that it's 4 different colors. not the same colors, but still beautiful.

    kittluvscolor-get that glitter!!!

    mary-Keep your eyes peeled! So many from the display were already nabbed. I hope there weren't even more amazing colors I missed!

    Alexlyndra- Thank you! You are brave going for the green! I love it too though! but this glitter... i can't stop looking at it!

  13. What a nice mini-haul ! I love the colors and the glitter looks very interesting - is it opaque after 3 coats ?

  15. Nicole- Get that green! It's perfect. The application is wonderful and its sooo pretty!

    Kae-LOL! me too! it's just like apples!

    kittyluvscolor-You're welcome! I am so glad! It is the S*it!!!

    cali369-boo. I hate when international readers don't have access. I'm sorry! :c(

    Monika Dubska - It is a bit rough. I am sure a coat of Seche Vite would make it nice and smooth. I wanted to try, but i lent my SV to a friend. What a bad idea! I feel lost without her!

    tuli-Thank you and yes it is opaque in 3 coats. Almost 2... but i did 3 for sure!

    clockwork-thank you. Isn't the glitter sick?!!! I can't get over it!
    :c)

  18. I picked this up at walgreen's over the weekend. Did you have any trouble with it drying too quickly? I did a mani/pedi combo, and by the time I got to my last few nails it was dry and gloptastic. So, word to the wise, close it and roll it between your hands periodically!

  19. Brooke - I love that close up so much I may hang it in my living room!

    I haven't had one in a really long time! Must get apples!

    earin - bless you

    Stacey - Yes, I did find it dried quickly. There's not as much polish as glitter. You must work quickly and give it a roll in between. But it's all worth it!
