lippmann franken-dupe! (and mini haul!)

Posted by Unknown on Saturday, August 27, 2011

Good morning all!



Today I'm going to show you something I did a few weeks ago.

When the promotional images came out for Deborah Lippman's Candy Shop (the pink polish with rainbow glitter) I thought to myself, "Hey! That looks like a pink Rebecca Likes Cupcakes!" (RLC now comes with more glitter, I'll have to r-eswatch!)

And many other people mentioned the same thing to me!

So it's official. She duped me. :P



So guess what? I decided to dupe her back.







Take that, Lippmann! You're not getting my $18!

I know I'm not the first to show a franken like this, but I did think of it immediately upon seeing the promo images, so I'm posting it too!







It's super cute! And super easy to make! I just added several pink polishes into my slightly-used bottle of Milani Gems until I got the color I wanted.

(I wish I had saved half the bottle to make the black version of this! But I didn't think ahead. I just ran with my idea.)







As cute and fun as it is, I don't think I'll be wearing it again... It's just too hard to get off.





Now for my mini-haul! I'm really excited about this so I'm showing you.



Last night I was going around to a few drug stores looking for some specific polishes (which I did not find) but I did manage to find lots more things...



At Lawton's Drugs, they recently began carrying products from Nail Art Diva. They are marketed to only work with the stamping machine, but really, they can be used just like Konad plates. They didn't actually sell the machine there, so no one bought any. I discovered them a while ago, but the prices were cray-cray.

They've gone on sale a few times, and I bought some then, but oh boy, I was not expecting the sale I found last night.







Every single piece in this pile was 99¢.
Regularly, this amount of things would be around $130 and tax if you were buying it full price.

I got everything you see there - 10 stamping polishes and 3 plates - for $4.47 total.

The cashier who rang me in for some reason only rang in 4 items (and thanked me for actually buying some of it to get it off their hands.)

So not only was the sale crazy, but I benefited from a dumb cashier. I can't believe the deal I got.

It still excites me!

I might have to go back and get another pack or two...







Lawton's also has most of their OPI on sale for $4.99, as well as some other random clearance.

I picked up a Skull and Glossbones (I love it so much, the mini I have is not going to be enough.)
I got Revlon's Black With Envy (Chanel-dupe) for $2.75.

As I was looking through non-sale OPI I stumbled upon something HTF (hard to find.)

Yule Love This Silver! Sweet lord, I was excited. When I went to the cash, the guy saw that the Glossbones was on sale so he rang them both in for $4.99. Awesome. 2 great cashiers in one night.



So that was my lovely mini-haul. Very excited for my new (cheap) pretties!
