Jess and I went to Dollar Tree today and I found something that would be a great gift item for girls and/or women who like nail stuff. They have a nail polish that is all one long tube with 3 sections. The bottom unscrews and has little rhinestones in 3 sizes. The midle is the nail polish and the top has the brush that goes into the polish. the top of the brush has a lid that unscrews and has a pen in it. You squeeze the nail polish part and you get the polish coming out through a very fine pen. it does nice thin lines or little dots, whichever you want. They had them in gold, silver and a neon green at the dollar tree we were at.
These would be awesome in stockings, for secret santa things, or with other polishes and a nice nail file or manicure tool set. I was pleasantly surprised by these as they dry quickly but not too fast to put the stones on etc...
We were looking for a gold nail polish a few days ago at Walgreens and the Sinful Colors brand had the nicest one and it was only $1.99. I tested it next to the Revlon and the SC brand was far nicer. The color was a better shade of gold, it covered far better and was not just fine gold glitter in clear polish the way the Revlon one seemed to be, and ti dries fast but not so fast you cannot put a jewel or whatever in it. (My niece likes the gems in them so I was checking for that). Any of the SC colors is a good deal, in my opinion!
The other good, small cosmetic type thing for girls/women that I have come across is a line at Sally Beauty supply called Sally Girl. It is small containers of lip gloss, lipstick, eyeshadow, etc... for just 99 cents. the lip gloss is well pigmented so it doesn't look one color and go on with very little color. The lipstick is very moisturizing and has good color as well. they have one lip gloss in a tube that I have not tried, but the kind with the applicator is great for my lips which have been very chapped lately. In the lipstick they have one that is clear, it looks white in the tube but doesn't go on white, that is incredibly moisturizing and not heavy or goopy in any way. Sally's also has some darling little nail files with holiday designs on them, cute nail clippers etc..., and little bottles of matte top coat for nails that are a dollar or less. I got the matte top coat for 69 cents per bottle and it works really well.
I know that around now we all have the various secret santa things and other occasions where we want a small gift or a fun bot not expensive gift, so I thought I would share these.
