Last night I had a bright idea (if I do say so myself). I was on my way to the checkout stand at Target with some emergency bananas and dental floss in my little basket when I said to myself, “Self, let’s take a quick look at the beauty aisle.”
As soon as I turned the corner, one of the first things I spotted was Sonia Kashuk’s new A Powerful Punch Mini Nail Colour Set ($9.99), and whoops! — it accidentally fell into my basket. 🙂
The limited edition set, new for spring 2012, comes with four petite polishes — three brights and one neutral — all of them with creamy finishes.
Here are some swatches from this afternoon. For each of these, I used two coats…
Making Waves
Tutti Fruitti
Ooh La La
Khaki Shorts
Observations…
- The three brightest shades are packed with pigment. I don’t notice any streaks when I apply them, either, but I do detect some minor streaking from the tan shade, Khaki Shorts. I think that one also benefits from a third coat.
- Making Waves is probably my favorite of the four. It’s just so cheerful and bright. 🙂
- All four of these polishes dry to a super shiny finish.
I’m really digging this arrangement of colors; all of them seem to go together nicely, and I can’t wait to try some of the pairings on my fingers and toes. And maybe even a multi-colored mani.
PRICE: $9.99 for the set
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Target stores (I didn’t see them online)

Oh goodness, I have a weakness for objects in miniature form, especially cosmetics. Tutti Frutti looks like my fav. I just love corals.

I never should’ve looked at this post. I will be $9.99 poorer next time I got to Target.
haha “go to” not “got to”.
Oh cool! Love when budget beauty companies incorporate popular color trends in their collections. Gotta pick this up!
I LOVE Making Waves! It’s definitely something that reminds me of summer. All bright and fun!
I love all the colors, I will have to check them out next time I am at Target.
OMG These totally fell into my basket yesterday too!!! SO GORG!
I love mini polishes, cuz I really never finish a full bottle.
Did you see SK had some new brushes(white handles)?! It was a rushed/ pit stop kinda trip, so didn’t have much time but theres always next time. Hope you’re having a good weekend Karen!
That nail polish is gorg! EEEKKK I am so ready so summer, sun and pedicures!
I love Tutti Fruitti! Beautiful, summery coral!
$9.99 for four colors? Not too bad, Sonia!
Ooh La La is gorgeous!
What a pretty combo of colors! Love them!
This is a great price for what you get. I wish more companies would do the little bottles. I can’t remember the last time I finished a regular nail polish bottle.
i miss Target. must go soon!
