Over the past weekend, I was able to get hold of some fabulous deals for OPI and Essie nail polishes at my local Ulta.
Ulta is running a buy 2 get 1 free special for both OPI and Essie nail polishes. Note: brands cannot be mix and matched.
On top of this, Ulta also has a $5 off $10 purchase. They usually have a $3.50 off $10 so this time the deal is even sweeter.
Coupon linky here.
Break down of the total:
3 OPI for $12+tax
3 Essie for $11+tax
Sweet huh?
Hurry, this special will end on May 7, 2011!!!
Seeing MisoJenny hauled some nude nail polishes by OPI and Essie from Ulta, I wanted some nude colors on my nails too!
And the other reason is there was a 20% off your entire order at Ulta. How can I skip that deal??
Actually I didn't buy all of the nail polishes shown above. I am giving most of them away for my 2 friends in Japan. They have longed for OPI nail polishes.... It's not that OPI is unavailable in Japan, it's just that they are crazily expensive, 1890yen per bottle. That's $22usd!! Over twice the retail price! With the discount, each bottle is just $6.8usd...
But the other challenge is I know I am not supposed to mail nail polishes and I have seen posters of prohibited items at the post office before. So I asked MisoJenny what did she do when she listed nail polishes in her beauty blog sale, and she said she just declared it as "cosmetics"... ok, I will try that. They will sure love me!
For this week, I am using Essie's Eternal Optimist and OPI's Katy Perry limited collection "Teenage Dream" for a quick gradation nail look. I am really into gradation nails these days and on my haul list is some gradation nail liquid from Japan. I still need to find out which is a good brand, anyone has recommendations, please let me know!
