Found: Fairy Dust at Nordstrom Rack

Nordstrom Rack fairy polish

Nordstrom Rack is a fantastic bargain version of Nordstrom. In New York City, we're lucky to have one right in Union Square on 14th Street! Unlike other stores that carry discount designer and department store brands, Nordstrom Rack is clean, orderly, and pleasant to visit. The Rack carries clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry and makeup... yes, including nail polish :)

Check out the nail polish tower! Nordstrom Rack carries OPI and house brand Savina.

Below is the OPI selection. I am always impressed to see older colors (ex: "Up the Amazon Without a Paddle", "Señorita Rosalita", "Japanese Rose Garden") as well as new - they had almost the entire Swiss collection. The price for OPI is $7.97... I guess since OPI is now $8.50, this is a discount.

The Union Square Nordstrom Rack has a vast selection of Savina polishes. While I didn't see any colors that were super unique, Savina does make a lot of bright and neon colors! I believe you can only purchase Savina at the Rack (or on eBay).

I picked out a color called Fairy Dust, a glitter holo polish that I could not resist. For swatches, I'm sharing two pics each - one in focus and one deliberately blurred to show holo-goodness.

Here is Fairy Dust over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Celeb City.

I started using TwitPic over on Twitter and posted a picture of Fairy Dust yesterday. Emily from Emily's Nail Files thought hot pink would be a great base color, so here is Fairy Dust over China Glaze Shocking Pink. Now, it's SUPER hot pink!

Here is Fairy Dust over Mattese Elite Pucci-licious (the purple) and an unnamed teal Color Club (seriously, there's no label but I think it's Edie).

*phew*

In case anyone heads over to eBay to look for this color, please note that there are (2) versions. The one I got was the last of the "big glitter" version, and the others had smaller glitter.

Nordstrom Rack is located at 60 East 14th Street in Union Square on the corner of 4th Ave. Check out the store locator to see if there is a Nordstrom Rack by you!

  11. My favorite is over the purple and the teal! I'll have to be on the lookout for something like this since I'm not going to NYC anytime soon and don't order anything online!

  14. Hi jimmy, there IS a Color Club polish by the same name (and same color!) The Pucci-licious that I have though is by Mattese Elite. I'll do a review of it sometime :)
