Let's go shopping with Cathy

This blog post idea is totally with thanks to Natalia from Cats-n-nails @cat_n_nails, who has done a couple of series on instagram posts where she has headed to her local polish shops and took some shopping piccies.  Natalia, I loved your idea, so I'm doing it too!!

Please join me everyone, as we shop around Canberra, Australia to see what we can find.

First up, Sally Hansen Salon effect - both last and new season designs @ only $14.95 a set. Ouch!

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine - gorgeous, but I got mine off ebay for about $4 each.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - $14.95.

Proof that you can score some bargins. "Nail Tint" for only 83c - the colours were pretty gross though.

Good old Revlon - an Aussie bargin at just $16.95 - haha

Maybelline Color Show - pretty good for $5.95.

More Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicures, another shop but the same price.

Oooh yeah, get yourself some crackle with 5 cents change from $10.

Bourjois minis - 5ml for $5. But super gorgeous polishes.  The sales assistant told me they are made my the same company that make Chanel. Anyone know if that is true?

Sally Hansen Gem Crush - $9.95

Sally Hansen Xtreme wear - $6.95 - I learned on the weekend that these are great for watermarbling, and the colours are excellent too.  I might have to get some more.

MaxFactor Glossfinity Nail Polish - $11.95

MaxFactor Minis - Including Fantasy Fire for $5.95

Aussie brand Chi chi - lots of great creme colours for $5.

More Chi Chi, but these must be the fancy ones cause they cost more than double the price.

Model Prefer kits $10.  Each of the kits comes with two bottles, all these ones come with a colour and a bottle of caviar beads. Some of the other packs have glitter polishes.

Amazing Savvy polishes for $3 - I did grab me some of these, including the aEngland She walks in Beauty dupe, swatches coming.

Sally Hansen Color Quick Nail Color Pen - $16.95. Never tried them, and at this price I never will.

Larger bottles of Bourjois - including one of my favourite go to sheer pinks, Rose Lounge $8.40.

OPI - only $19.95 a bottle or $24.95 for a DS.

Revlon Nail Art Mani Mix - $15.95. I love these polishes, I only have one which was gifted to be, but by the looks of this stand (which is nearly empty), everyone seems happy to pay $15.95 for them.

 

Sally Hansen Magnetics - magnetics were so last year!  At $16.95 a bottle I'm amazed they are selling anything.

Some rather ordinary nail art stickers, for a bargin at only $7 a packet.

More Bourjois - these are the amazing one coat brushes that are nearly double the width of an OPI. I only have one, and it's that red one at the back, but the other colours look nice.

There you go, I hope you enjoyed the visit to my local stores to see what we can purchase in the shops.  What do you think of our prices.  Are the comparable to yours??
