GETCHA NAILS DID: REALLY OLD POLISH

REALLY OLD POLISH - TG&Y YALL!

Tell me you all remember TG&Y stores??!!! I can't believe that I still remember them, they closed them all down so long ago, but I have faint memories of going to some with my mom as a child.

Anyway - I have more OLD goodies to show you! I almost fainted when I saw these two beauties! And got a good chuckle when I saw they came from TG&Y!! I have tried to find out more on Cutex Special Effects polishes but I have come up empty! It looks like there were at least 6 colors in this series, judging from the numbers from the bottom of the bottles. Obviously Blue Blazes is killing it over 18k - I want more of these though!
