Dollar Tree Haul

Yesterday I had to go into the Dollar store to purchase some nail mail envelopes. I just so happened to be near the nail polish aisle!! How coincidental?! I saw that they put up some new Sally Hansen duo's so I wanted to look into them further.

I was able to find some pretty unique Sally Hansens that I have never seen before. I took a picture and sent it to my Sally Hansen guru Laurie and she told me to buy them for sure and that they were beauty in a bottle!

The three colors on the left came in a duo with the three on the right.
LtoR: Crystal Opal, Pale Pink Opal, Rose Gold Opal, Emerald City, Lime Lights, & Ocean View

 I was googling swatches and found out that the best way to show the Opal's was to layer them over black.



Crystal Opal over black gives a green to dark purple duochrome effect, Pale Pink Opal over black gives a blue to purple duochrome effect, and Rose Gold Opal over black gives a green to dark purple duochrome effect as well.

On the swatch wheel the Crystal Opal and Rose Gold Opal really look similar over black. I am trying out other colors to see if I can get a different effect from each to really signify the two different colors.

Considering the package said that the duo's were normally a retail value of $7.99, I would say I scored by only paying $3 for all of them!
