I found quite a few Dollar Store scores this week, but the one that stood out to me the most was this Sally Hansen Concrete Creme.  It's the perfectly colored greige nail polish (in my opinion) and was an absolute gem to find for just a $1.  Pictured I'm wearing three coats on my nail, but originally I had painted on just two.  Right before I got ready to snap my photo I dinged my nail on something... typical.

This formula is runny and very transparent, but it's actually not that big of a pain to work with.  The biggest issue for me actually with this particular polish... is it's fumy smell.  But due to it being an older formulation, I was already expecting minor application issues and yes, even the smell.

I scored three more colors I plan on showing sometime during the week along with a few requested nail polish comparisons.  I'm curious to know what you ladies have found lurking at your local Dollar Stores.

Have you found any gems recently?

*UPDATE*

Thanks to April asking me about drying time on this polish I thought I'd take the time to update and include that information.  I really should be more conscious of the fact that even when I'm just sharing someone may be thinking of adding a particular polish to their own stash and are looking toward my blog for that needed input.

First up let me say that this polish only cost me a $1.  It's nowhere near being a formula I would even compare to the Sally Hansen polishes that are in the drugstores now, because the formula just isn't that good.  It's decent enough to wear for a day or so being it only cost a dollar, but that's just about it.

The drying time for this polish is EXTREMELY slow without the use of a drying aide.  And even after using the drying aide if the polish isn't allowed a little more time to dry, due to it being "soft" you still may run the risk of smudging.  Please know that with this particular polish I am in no way encouraging anyone to add it or buy it.  It's just a polish I wanted to share that I personally am happy about adding to my personal collection.

I love the color and can deal with the inconsistencies, but realized that after April stated her issue with her experience that me posting that I liked the polish for myself may encourage someone else to search for it and then be disappointed because their expectations weren't the same as mine.  :)

If you like this shade and would like to have it minus all the funky chemicals and drying issues Sally Hansen Wet Cement is the near dupe for this polish.

I've been having Sally Hansen Commander in Chic for quite a while now and have never swatched or worn it.  I seriously don't know what has taken me so long because this was a favorite of mine when I purchased it.  I think once I make the transaction and the polish is mine I just have comfort in knowing that I own it... I dunno.

At any rate, today I decided it was time to break this color out and give it a test drive on my tips and I LOVE IT! It's very chic!  I'm also in love with my Orly Foil FX polish in Luxe and I'm now thinking about getting Rage.

I've been very hesitate to give Rage a try because I just don't feel like I'll like the color, but I know some of you may be feeling the same way so I figure why not buy it and swatch it... right?!  Since it doesn't cost that much for me to invest in the polish it just seems like the logical thing to do for my readers.

I did notice that Luxe tested my patience when it came to it's drying time, but let me state facts... I'm not very patient.  I couldn't live without fast drying drops or speed spray, but even drying drops didn't dry it fast enough for me.

With that being said... a little goes a long way and you really don't have to "generously"apply this one like I did, lol.  The formula was wonderful and gives you ample enough time to be able to work out your polish brushstrokes and I only applied the normal two coats.  I love how Luxe has the tiny silver micro glitter infused within that really adds to the whole foiled look.
