From time to time you’ll have heard me mention my local discount makeup store, Dazzle. There are some serious bargains to be had but much as I love to share my haul I’m very aware that it’s not a deal that’s available to you all. Imagine my shock when I discovered that the national beauty chain, Xtra’s had in a batch of Essie polish when I visited today? I picked up To Buy Or Not To Buy and Tour De Finance, both were the last left on the rack and I left feeling pretty pleased for myself. I was confident that most of you with access to a store would see similar deals so was looking forward to tweeting about my bargains when I remembered they had a website.. and what do you know…
They have them online as well! As far as I can gather they are limited edition shades (correct me if I’m wrong) and having never bought from the drugstore diffusion line I can’t say whether they’re the old formula or not but I’m happy with everything I have from Essie and for £2.99.. uhhh… who cares? We’re talking Barry M prices for what I consider to be high end nail polish. I had to type up a quick post to let you all in on the deal.. if you’re like me you love the little bottles of cuteness but even at the reduced price of £7.99 it’s a bit.. much? This is much more our price range.. I can see my Essie collection taking over my polish rack before too long with these offers floating around.
I’ve heard reports of discounted Essie in other places too.. have you seen any? Share the budget wealth…

I’ve seen essie in my local TK Maxx as well! £7.99 for a pack with the ridge-filling base coat and a colour polish. Haven’t given in to temptation yet but my strength to resist is wearing thin…
for £2.99 there’s no resistance lol
Thanks for the heads up on these! What a bargain
No worries.. hope you managed to snag some before we all depleted their stocks haha
Just ordered Orange Its Obvious and Tour de Finance! YAY. and a few sneaky other bits may have accidentally fallen into my basket! Great site, thanks for sharing! x
I have tour de finance on my toes right now and can confirm that they are from the new diffusion range. the brush is MONSTER sized.. it’s the first I’m had from the new line x
thats a great price! ive also seen them in TK Maxx -pack of 3 for £9.99. They also had nails inc too (=
i never see any in there.. think we don’t have such a great selection up here but might have to look out for them when i go at the weekend x
is it me or your template and banner have changed a little. me likey a lot!
case study looks very appealing to me! thank you for the heads up

thank you!! I’ve had the same banner for about 2yrs and I am always wanting to freshen things up a little but never like anything more than my original banner lol.. I’m sitting with this for a while to see how I feel but my guess is the old one will be back within a month haha. So glad lots of people managed to take advantage of this deal.. there’s only 1 shade left online hehe.. they probably wonder what happened!!
Your blog is possibly the best thing since sliced bread! I love a bargain, and £2.99 isn’t bad when Essie is always affordable! Great find 🙂

aww thank you xxx
Ooh fab I love Essie, where is Dazzle? x
I believe it’s a chain and some towns do have them but my local is Doncaster in the Frenchgate Centre x
I just posted a similar thing on my blog, my local T J Hughes has them for £2.99 too. There must be a load of them floating about if they are turning up in these stores, looks like similar shades too: http://pieseyes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/essie-t-j-hughes.html
a lot of them are ltd edition from the past spring collection but a few are current which makes it an even better deal x
Amazing thank you for sharing! I have been away for a week and I am a bit late on this but still managed to pick up Tour De Finance, To Buy Or Not To Buy and A Crewed Interest – not that I need any more nail polish but I couldn’t pass this up! Thanks Khila!
I really want a crewed interest.. hmm.. will have to keep my eyes peeled for more stock! glad you snapped some up though x
