In April, I decided to make a shopping trip to Ulta Beauty. I wanted to see if I could find beauty products at other stores, but I ended up giving up and shop at Ulta Beauty instead. While there, I found some products I wanted to own a backup of and some products I spontaneously purchased.
It’s the last day of the year, which means it is time to reflect on the past year! For me, there have been many things that I can reflect on in a post. Even though I feel drawn to talk about things more important than beauty products, I still believe like I need to talk about the products I really enjoyed using or discovering in 2023. This list isn’t as long as it could be, yet I am very thankful these products were available for me to purchase and use this year!
In December, there were holiday beauty collections I liked to look at, but didn’t want to own. One of the collections I wanted to own products from was the Salon Perfect x Wonka collection.
The collection, which I talked about in a separate post here, included acrylic nails, nail polish, and nail decals. Between the three, I liked the nail polish the most. Nail polish is the most usable for me. Also, the colors were really pretty! So, I decided to buy all the nail polish colors I knew would look the best on my skin tone.
Recently, the Walmart closet to my home went under a remodel. In addition to the remodels, new brands began to show up on store shelves. The ones I was the most interested in are located in the beauty and makeup department.
I have heard about Dashing Diva, but I saw it available at other Walmarts. After the remodel, Dashing Diva was available in the beauty section. Even though I was unfamiliar with the brand, I liked the nail designs the brand had in their holiday collection.

Almost two weeks ago, the movie Wonka premiered in theaters. As with other movies I’m interested in watching, I didn’t have plans to see it in theaters (I like to see them on DVD or streaming them at home) but I was excited to see all the tie in and inspired by merchandise available.
I found one of the Wonka inspired collections in the beauty section of Walmart. I was surprised to find it because I wasn’t expecting it to be available! I did end up purchasing some nail polishes from the collection, but I will talk about that in a different post.
In yesterday’s post, I talked about the imPRESS holiday 2023 nail collection. I found the collection, along with the KISS holiday collection, in the same display at Walmart. After featuring the imPRESS nails in a different post, I decided to talk about the KISS nail collection in this post.
I saw a lot of imPRESS nail sets available, but I didn’t see many KISS. It seemed like many people really liked the KISS nails more than the imPRESS. Still, I was able to find three nails sets available.

During a recent shopping trip to Walmart, I found multiple holiday collections in the makeup section of the store. I was happy to see so many holiday collections available to purchase, so I browsed them all to see if there was anything I wanted from the store.
One of the collection I didn’t buy anything from but did enjoy looking at was the press on acrylic nails. I don’t wear acrylic nails (I use my hands too much for them to stay on and/or look nice) but I enjoy seeing the sets available to purchase. They give me ideas about what is popular in nail art at that time. One of the collections I saw and was very interested in was located on an end cap next to the nail section. It was called Glitz & Glam and featured collections from KISS Nails & Lashes as well as imPRESS and Sally Hansen nails. (I’m not sure if the Sally Hansen nail set was supposed to be there. I saw multiple nail sets that wandered from one section to another. Still, I’m going to address it as if the Sally Hansen Holiday 2023 nail collection was supposed to be there)
Since there were so many nail collections in the display, I decided to break up the posts into different brands. Today, I’m going to start with imPRESS.

When I purchased the bottles of OPI x Barbie nail lacquer (Or nail polish as I call it), I intended on painting my nails as soon as possible. Sadly, I didn’t have the time to pain my nails until weeks after I purchased the nail polish. (I sometimes work a lot with my hands, which isn’t good for pretty polished nails!) When I did get the chance to paint them with the OPI x Barbie polishes, I was so excited I couldn’t decide on what colors to paint them. I normally like to paint my nails the same way because I like keeping them uniform and subtle. (Even if the polish color is pretty bold) This time, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and paint one nail one color and the other nails the same color.

After purchasing my first haul of polishes (Or nail lacquer) from the O.P.I. x Barbie collection, I thought my shopping for the nail polishes was done. After all, purchased all the colors I really wanted and, even though I didn’t get the color I wanted the most, I was happy just to have the colors I have.
A few weeks after I purchased the polishes, I found some of the colors still available for purchase at Walmart. This time, they were on sale for a deep discount. After thinking about the nail polishes, I decided it was such a great savings to pass up. So, I purchased three of the four remaining colors I don’t have in my collection.

After discovering the OPI x Barbie nail lacquer (Or nail polish) collection available at Walmart, I decided to purchase bottles of all the colors I wanted most from the collection. I really liked the pink colors the most. I love pink nail polish, but I haven’t found a favorite pink color nail polish in years. When I saw the shades of pink in the collection, I decided to purchase and try as many pink shades I can find available for purchase.
