Dusty Hunting - I Found One!

Yet another thing most "normal" people haven't heard of before. Dusties are stores that may collect dust and typically have old(er) nail polishes for sale for cheap. Honestly, I thought none in existed in Maryland, but I've been making a point to stop in the little beauty shops that are spotted on major roads around where we live (and believe me, there are a ton) when I have the time and energy and tonight I finally found one.

Many of the beauty shops around here actually charge more than regular retail stores for some polishes (for instance, I found Sinful polishes at one shop for $2.50 when they retail for $1.99 at Rite Aid, Walgreens and CVS). What a bargain!

The store I stopped in tonight was mostly a wig shop but they did have some polish displays around the store. I found Sinful, a basket of 2/$1 Wild N Crazy polishes and some polishes by a brand called NK which is popular with some nail enthusiasts.

 

NK - these were $1 each

green apple (baby blue with green shimmer), purple magic, aquamarine, after dark, metallic noir, champagne beige

   

Sinful Colors - these were $1 each

purple blue glitter (this one the purple is more reddish), pearl harbor, purple blue glitter (this one the purple is more bluish), agaci, midnight blue

...cont

agaci, midnight blue, sheer lavender, berlin wall, glitz

 

  

Wild and Crazy - these were 2/$1 or 50 cents each

W90 Jack's Kiss, W18 Larousse, W208 Wasabi, W61 Purple Glitter (2x), W99 Whatever, W15 Leon, W197 Fashion Colony, W93 U-Rock, nameless

After I paid for my 24 polishes (~$20), I went back to my car, sat down and did a little, "I found a Dusty!" dance. No joke. I was super excited.

Now I ask those of you local, have you ever found a dusty? Willing to share it's location? And for the rest of you, do you have a dusty you frequent for awesome deals? Share your cheap hauls.
