How to Save Money on Nail Polish - DESIGN NAIL ARTS

With every new season comes an onslaught of new and beautiful nail polish colors. If you are the type of person who likes to freshen up her cosmetics collection with each new season, you may be able to benefit from some tips on how to save money on nail polish. Various nail polish brands offer new and exciting colors from time to time, and whether you shop high end or on the budget-friendly shelves, you'll be sure to appreciate some tips on how to save a few bucks on your purchases.

Whether you like OPI, nubar, Revlon, Wet n Wild, Lacura, or any other brand of nail polish, you are sure to love the savings you can get by purchasing nail polish on sale and at a cheaper price. Consider these tips to help you save money on your nail product purchases.

• Shop the clearance shelves at your favorite drugstores. CVS and Rite Aid are notorious for marking down beauty items, and especially cosmetic to 50% or even 75% off, if not more, from time to time.

• Clip coupons. You can often find coupons for Revlon, L'Oreal, Almay, and others in your Sunday newspapers. On top of that, you'll often find coupons to the store instead of just the specific products, for example, "Save $5 off a purchase at Ulta." Any savings is a good savings.

• Look online for a better deal. You can often find lower prices on various items at Amazon.com and even eBay. Do a Google search for your favorite brand or color and compare the shopping results for the lowest price you can find.

• Look for offers where you get something free with a purchase or special promotions for percentages off when buying online. A lot of times you can find special deals and promotions at sites like SlickDeals.net and RetailMeNot.com.

• Make your own nail polish last. If you take good care of your cosmetics, they will most likely last you longer. If you make sure you always keep the cap on your nail polishes when not in use, this should prevent it from drying out or becoming too sticky.

• Resist the urge to buy, buy, buy. You can treat yourself to a new nail color every now and again, but don't over-buy to the point where you have way more bottles of nail polish than you can ever use.

• If you usually like designer and high end brands, give a lower-priced competitor a chance. You might be surprised at the effective and close comparison, or alternatively, you might suddenly not mind paying top dollar for your nail polish.

Keep these tips in mind to help you save money on nail polish, no matter if you try to buy less and make your own polish last longer or if you simply want to find great deals on nail polish. If you practice both discipline and good deal hunting skills, you should be able to make a difference in your spending patterns in no time.

Nail Polish Choices This Summer - DESIGN NAIL ARTS

I think that a woman's choice of nail polish really says something about who she is and how she sees herself or how she wants to be seen. There is a new collection of polishes for summer 2010 coming out, and it will be very interesting to see the range of colors, as well as what I will choose to paint myself with.

The more subdued colors will generally be kept for when you're feeling reserved, professional, and just want to be pampered. One polish called demure vixen, makes me feel reserved, yet exciting at the same time, like i have a secret. On the outside this nail polish is rather cool, but it has a hint... or something that just catches your eye and makes you think... hmmm.

The names of the polish have a large effect as well. "Pretty Edgy" is a very noticeable green color that is a part of the Essie Summer Nails Collection for 2010 and it is juxtaposed to all of the other colors in the bunch, highlighting itself and setting itself apart. I find myself drawn to this color and can see myself wearing it out to a party where i will be noticed with my edgy outfit and my exciting yet different shade of polish.

If you are looking for a classic and always elegant and appropriate look for your nails, you can always go for a good french manicure. In this case, the length of the manicure and the final shape of the nail can say quite a bit about the wearer in a very subtle manner.

Square nails really show a unique and interesting style when combined with a french manicure, and the longer the nails and the white tips to go with them, the more bold the statement of the manicure.

The funny thing about nail polish is that, you can have your favorite flavor and know that it is the one you want, only to see it on and not have it really fulfill what you imagined it would. The best is when you see the color, that exciting shade that just fits with how your feeling, and when you see it on it just feels right.

The perfect nail polish is the one that reflects your inner feelings to the outside world, the polish that lets you wear your heart on your sleeve and show it off in a subtle manner.
