Every year, Rite Aid (and I think Meijer, HEB and possibly Fred Meyer sell these too, if I'm not mistaken) put out the Holiday Snowman Polishes in September/October, and thanks to several of you, I have lots (and lots) of pics of the display to share with you today! Also, Blue Cross has released other Holiday 2013 nail polish collections, which you'll see at the end of this post.
First up, reader Sonja shared some pics of the Holiday 2013 Snowman display at her Rite Aid:

There are some new shades here, as well as some repeats from both the 2012 and 2011 Snowman Collection (by they way, if you're thinking about getting the multi-colored glitter, check out my post from 2011 to see how it compares to other Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday dupes!). I also see some shades in this year's collection that look like they could have been part of last year's Blue Cross Light Up Polishes that I was so obsessed with, and I also see a few shades that I believe were in the Blue Cross Summer 2013 Summer Brights collection as well.
Next up, @brackett0701 on Instagram (who, by the way, you should totally follow if you're a nail fantatic--her swatches are perfection!) spotted the Snowmen display at her Rite Aid recently and shared some pics:

Whew! I think that about covers it for the Blue Cross Holiday 2013 Collections...unless any of you see some other displays that I didn't feature here today (and if you do, please share!).
I want to once again thank everyone who took the time to let me know that the Snowmen had landed, and I'm so sorry if you sent me pics and I didn't feature them in this post!
Thanks again to Sonja, @brackett0701, Emily, Rachel and Brie for the wonderful pics in this post! I really appreciate it!

All this stuff i so adorable <3333
ReplyDeleteI saw the snowmen ones at Rite Aid but never desired to buy any. Depending on the reviews I may be intetested. However I haven't seen the candy canes. I also saw and bought one of the Ornaments with the jeweled top in gold glitter. I absolutely love it. There is so much chunky glitter it looks like ribbons.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a tube of the minis a couple of weeks ago, and while the milky green is interesting (I haven't tried it yet) the real winner imo is the bottle at the bottom of the tube! It's a hot pink w a touch of magenta containing bright blue chunkies of glitter that leave the nail with an effect similar to paint splatter, love it!
ReplyDeletethat might be a re-promote of a shade Blue Cross did for Rue 21... I have it and it's awesome. (Just wanted to add this, in case anyone is like me and doesn't have a Rite Aid near them)
DeleteWhyyyy are they so expensive this year? They seem to have gone way up in the last couple years, so I don't think I'll bother unless I see something super amazing.
ReplyDeleteI actually spotted the scented ones in a different display at Meijer yesterday. They were in the same clear plastic boxes as last year but had the same colors as the ones in the tube, if I remember correctly. I'll try and get pics for you Thursday!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love the snowman NP. But I never see them around here. You mentioned H.E.B gets them where? I would love to get some.
ReplyDeletei picked up the shimmery pumpkin one for as a base for some halloween nail art and it applied easily and evenly. in fact, it applied easier than my opi polishes (alpine white & sour grapes) his hat was very helpful with brush control and the color came out just like the bottle. with seche vite as a top coat, it's been 4 days and i'm seeing a little tip wear but no chips. i highly recommend trying them if you see a color you like!
ReplyDeletei wonder if they carry these in Florida? I've never seen them here
ReplyDeleteThe snowmen polishes are so cute
ReplyDeleteLove those blingy caps!!
ReplyDeleteI picked up and "ornament polish" last week but so far have only swatched it. I bought the glittery teal color and it looks to be a winner both color wise and application wise! Also G, I took your advice and looked at @brackett0701 IG account, and boy her photos are gorgeous...I had to follow!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness these are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI hope they bring these out somewhere other than Rite Aid. Down here in Miami, we have Walgreens and CVS. Also Navarro, which is like a Hispanic drugstore lol
ReplyDeleteI want one of the snowmen just for the little rhinestone hat! Plus my snowman from last year is getting lonely. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! I'm going to Rite Aid on Friday! I hope they have these guys.
ReplyDeleteThe Snowmen and Pumpkin polishes look so WEIRD! Some look like they should glow in the dark or under a blacklight and seem like they could be sheer, mainly those bright cremes. Very "squishy" looking in their bottles like jellies! Are they opaque?
