We all know that the Sally Hansen Smooth & Perfect line of polishes is being phased out, and you have probably seen them on deep clearance at Walgreens, etc. for a few months now. But I wanted to take a minute to let you know that one shade--Fog--is currently on clearance on the Ulta website for $1.49.
Why is this such a big deal? Well if you don't already own Fog and you missed my original post about this, this polish in particular is excellent for creating your own DIY milky glitter polish. You might recall that I did a milky glitter polish drugstore round-up a while back and, in that post, I included a little DIY tutorial about how to achieve a milky glitter manicure using a basic glitter polish + a sheer milky polish. Fog is great for creating your own milky glitter polish because of its neutral color and sheerness, and you can use it with just about any glitter polish out there. Here's a pic from my original post:

One coat of Spoiled by Wet n Wild nail color in Shuffle the Deck ($1.99 at CVS)

One additional coat of Sally Hansen Fog

your very own milky glitter manicure!
Other notable clearance deals available on the Ulta website as of the time of this post (while supplies last):
- Nicole by OPI LE Kardashian polishes for $1.99 each (regularly $7.99)
- Ulta Salon Formula Nail Lacquers for $3 (regularly $6)
- L'Oreal HiP Eyeshadow Duos for $4.24 (regularly $8.49)
- Ulta Eyeshadow Singles for $4 (regularly $7)
And thanks to reader Lesley for the reminder that Badger Cuticle Care (my holy grail cuticle balm) is available on the Ulta website too ($5.99).
Also don't forget that Ulta's current promotions include a coupon for $3.50 off a $10 purchase online or in-store (I'm pretty sure that all of the products mentioned in this post will qualify for that coupon). And you also can get free shipping on any order of $25 or more with code SHIPJAN13.
Happy clearance shopping!
G, I have SH Smooth & Perfect Fog. (I purchased Air & Satin also because they were so cute.) Will you please provide additional suggestions for sheer milky polishes? I do not want to use Fog all the time, but I am not well versed in polishes.
ReplyDeleteYou can get a white polish and add some clear polish to get that jelly polish look. Or add clear polish to any creme polish to get that squishy look. :)
DeleteI found Essie Mashmallow works well for the DIY sheer milky polish look.
Delete@Niki; another great one is WnW 2% Milk! ::
DeleteThank you all!
DeleteLol..oh my gosh it's been a long week..I saw your shout out to me (right??) and thought, huh, someone else named Lesley bought Badger Cuticle Care at Ulta!
ReplyDeleteI bought Fog when I saw it on clearance at CVS a few weeks ago, it was 75% off, and I remembered your post about liking this one Smooth & Perfect in particular. Haven't tried it yet though!
Lol! Yep, that sure was a shout-out to you!! :) Thanks again for that reminder...I had totally forgotten that it was sold at Ulta,.and i'm SO glad it's working for you! xo
DeleteI went a bit crazy with Ulta clearance yesterday (yay giftcards!) because my locatino is getting ready to move to a bigger store and all their clearance is an additional 50% off... including stocking up on Fog, Nicole by OPI, Orly, Zoya, OPI and Essie and tons of eyeshadow... I'm physically restraining myself from going back and getting more!
ReplyDeleteScooooore!!!
DeleteBTW next week all the Ulta nail lacquers will be $2 instead of $3
ReplyDeleteOooh, thanks so much for the tip!!
DeleteAlso if anyone has a gel polish system Ulta has various gel polishes 50% off. Nice time to grab some because these can be pricey!
ReplyDeleteThanks, R.!! :)
DeleteI also saw the Covergirl Natureluxe foundation for $1.49.
ReplyDeleteSah-weeet! Thanks! :)
DeleteHey G, just checked and Vitacost has that Badger cuticle cream for $4.84! Wish I had seen your review before I made my order a couple days ago! :/
