Ms. Scrangie I hope ya don't mind me linking to you on my tiny, humble blog (http://sarajean-glitter1.blogspot.com/). I reviewed some Hard Candy makeup and also the polish in Frenzy. Love your blog! Thanks for all the hard work! You're my go-to for all thing nail polish. :)

Where are you getting OPI and China Glaze for less than $5??? I bought OPI's for $6.95 last week (Canadian dollars that is) and thought that was a steal! Please share!

dude i could never agree more about Hard Candy.. I used to have some pretty awesome makeup/polishes from them, but then everything changed, and in the worst way possible =( cheap crappy makeup. lava really is beautiful though.

Hmm, yesterday I was at walmart and was considering getting sweet P., and breakup. I didn't get them, but after reading your review, I think i'm going to have to go back and get them! Great swatches!

Oh wow! Just gorgeous. I'm not sure if we can get Hard Candy in the UK though.

I love Mr. Wrong and Mr. Right. Envy is pretty but I think I have than exact color since I have that Wet N Wild Morbid in the craze line.

I agree that the make-up area at Wal-mart is usually disorganized. The great thing about irregular work hours is that Wal-mart is fairly deserted at eight or nine in the morning on weekdays.

To get the Wet N Wild craze line, I had to venture into K-mart. I was really impressed with how clean and organized their nail polish area was and also empty at nine on weekday morning. They even carry OPI though it's just red/pink colors.

2009-10-28T21:42:40.062-05:00

I did a major double-take when I saw Hard Candy at my local Wally World. I tried a blue mascara (I think the name of the color was Peacock?), and wasn't terribly impressed. Envy looks like the color I had hoped Sephora by OPI's Dark Room would be. Thank you for posting about Depression Awareness Month! I have battled the stuff for years, so it's always refreshing to see others spreading the word.

2009-10-28T19:33:22.525-05:00

Hard Candy is available online at Walmart. I never go into the place. I don't like it because they aren't Union. If I want them bad enough I will use online ordering. I love Lava, Envy and Mr. Wrong. I won't die if I don't have these.

2009-10-28T15:26:25.119-05:00

Oh, Wal-Mart is worth Lava! The $5, however, is kind of surprising, Thanks for the posts!

And where do you find OPI and China GLaze so cheap?

2009-10-28T13:02:05.527-05:00

I'm not a fan of Walmart. But with a steep pay cut, I do shop there more. (And I've tried to cut back on material items overall.)

I've never seen nail polish all over the aisles . Just screaming kids (at Squall-Mart) But I notice that in Target, the NP area is messier (& the kids are almost as loud)!

2009-10-28T12:24:28.309-05:00

I go to Wal Mart at midnight or so. Lessens the heinosity.

I can say that the eyeshadow sticks, lip plumping gloss, and liquid glitter eyeliner are excellent. The colored mascaras kind of suck the hind one, though.

For $6 for most products I'll probably work my way through the rest of their stuff. Why the hell not, right?

2009-10-28T10:30:13.103-05:00

Mr. Wrong is the best. I was so thrilled when i got my hands on it. I really dislike Walmart but sometimes I have to go there.
The one in my town is really clean but the clientele not so much. Then again, I live in a town with a rep for being trashy.

That said, I agree the price isn't so hot but was worth it for me because my local Walmart doesn't offer much in the way of cool polish. I normally go to Walgreens, Fred Meyer and Rite-Aid for drugstore brands.

I didn't have issues with dry time and wear was good for me. Yet again, my job is rough on the nails anyway so two day wear is pretty spectacular for me!

2009-10-28T10:28:55.263-05:00

Some of these are very cute. I like Mr. Wrong a lot, looks fab on you! Ugh, I know what you mean about Wal-Mart though...it's not a fun place to be, especially since I usually only get there around 9-10 PM. Sometimes I find random Nic Sticks on clearance, which is neat, but otherwise my experiences there are usually negative.

2009-10-27T23:21:51.879-05:00

I too ventured to Wal-Mart to find these. Envy is definitely my favorite! It was kind of goopy, but not nearly as bad as the cremes, which were pretty annoying to apply...but...they're VERY pigmented, which is nice! You only need two coats for them to be opaque.

Downside: I put on 'frenzy', the turquoise/aqua color, and put 'breakup' on top. It was really pretty, but when I took it off, everywhere there had been a piece of glitter, my nails were stained the color of 'frenzy'! I'm wary to try 'frenzy' by itself, now, because of the horrible stains that I had for weeks! This was even WITH a base coat!

I agree with you exactly that having this line onl...

2009-10-27T22:56:22.684-05:00

I agree with you exactly that having this line only available at wal-mart cheapens the brand considerably. And I think in the long run it will definitely hurt it and they will lose customers. I for one don't shop at wal-mart, and even though some of these polishes are nice looking, I won't go to wal-mart for them. :( Too bad, I've been jonesing for a red with gold flash.

2009-10-27T22:20:46.173-05:00

I actually really loved Hot Pants from your swatches and went to go pick it up tonight because I happened to be going to Wally World. I really like it and if you haven't yet, you should put a matte top coat over it because it is AWESOME matte.
I also got Frenzy, which is the teal. Which was really difficult to remove. I had blue fingers for a day.
But you're right, way too expensive.

2009-10-27T22:08:23.072-05:00

the only ones I might get are Breakup and Mr. Wrong...yum! Perhaps Lava might sneak in...but it''ll be a long time before I get them, ew Walmart

2009-10-27T21:03:05.295-05:00

I am wearing Lava now and loving it. I also got Mr. Wrong and Sweet P. I haven't worn Sweet P, but Mr. Wrong is awesome. I didn't have any issues with application (a tad thick) and it seemed to dry quick enough for me. However, I noticed these had a distinct plastic-y smell that my other polishes don't have. Weird, huh?

2009-10-27T20:57:22.041-05:00

Never been to a Wal-Mart (I think the closest one is half an hour or so away). Kind of afraid to go to one, to be honest. Anyway, I like the looks of most of these, but $5 for a mini? Yikes.

2009-10-27T20:25:02.272-05:00

I love the hologram films in the first polish! I have a Pa just like it. Looks really cool under a matte topcoat: http://nailsbyasami.blogspot.com/2009/08/essies-matte-about-you-matte-finisher.html

Otherwise I just wear it like you said, as a topcoat: http://nailsbyasami.blogspot.com/2009/10/winter-snowflakes.html

I think I'll have to pick up "Breakup" just in case they're slightly different. How many coats are you wearing in that picture? I think my Pa one has less holograms.

2009-10-27T20:18:18.751-05:00

i HATE wal-mart too. it's never worth the hassle/mess/chaos.

but more importantly, where/ how do you get opi and china glaze for so cheap!?

2009-10-27T20:06:46.995-05:00

I LOVE Lava! I picked it and Mr. Wrong up last weekend and wore Lava as my mani for about 4 days before it finally chipped enough that I had to remove it. It was so pretty and glowy. I may actually need a backup, and I don't do backups! But these are small and I don't want to have to use it sparingly.
