NYC Haul

Hey guys!
So, in NYC I picked up quite a number of polishes.
I'll admit, I did really badly on my supposed low-buy plan... I acquired way more than 5 polishes, and I spent quite a bit more than $25. The sad part is, is that I probably could have gotten all (or most) of these polishes here in California.... NYC is not a good place for impulse shoppers.

Tell me if you see anything you like that you want swatched, I'll be happy to swatch it for you :)

Another amazing friend post!

I apologize for the current boringness of my blog- I just don't have time to do swatches or reviews at the moment. So the only posts I can do right now are update and PSA type things. No worries though, I'll be able to post interesting stuff again soon! (I've got a few reviews planned for the weekend).

But anyway, my friends are practically killing me. I put a brave face on and went on a no-buy a few weeks ago. Then, my friend generously donated some of her oldies to me. Today, my other friend dumped about 6 polishes in my hands and said "Surprise!". You would think this would encourage me not to buy, right?

Nope. Today I was walking through walgreens to get some shampoo, practically covering my eyes past the NP. Then I turned a corner and saw the ST. Paddys display (I have no idea why it's still up), including Green Ocean. I had no interest in it before, but then I thought- that would look good over some of my new polishes.  And it was a downward spiral from there... I now own Green Ocean, Fiji, the CC PmF collection, and about 13 random oldies. Yay for me- nay for my wallet.

Mini 'Haul'

Hey guys!
Tonight I lucked out- My friend decided to clean out her nail polish, and she gave me a bunch of ones she didn't want. Unfortunately, she chose to keep a few oldish OPIs I wanted.. but I can borrow them! She also refused to part with her AiW set.. which is sad because she doesn't even use any of them, just likes them for their names (I don't blame her)

She gave me:

Del Sol- Girls Night Out (hot pink/deep purple sun change polish)
$OPI- Never Enough Shoes
SH 'Magical'- Purple Potion
SH- Goddess
SH- Stone Serenity
SH- Lighthearted Lavender
NYC- 104A

I'll probably swap most of these, but she said she was fine with that.
What do you guys think?

CVS Mini-Haul!

Well, I just went to CVS (A few days ago, actually) and couldn't help buying some nail polishes.
After eyeing the SH Complete Manicure series (I'm obsessed with the brush!) I finally decided on Grey by Grey (which isn't grey at all), and Fairy Teal. I also picked up Xtreme Wear Blue It, and Milani Hi-Tech & Hi-Res.

I love all of them, so much.
I decided I needed to do some more swatch pics (I need to work on my application, after all!), so those will be in the next post. I need suggestions though- what should I swatch?

My spreadsheet is located here:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0At0rzk5O3z3HdG9jRzdKVmhGNzhfN3k3SzlfTHpKZ0E&hl=en

And I'm in the process of updating it with this haul, my frankens, the polishes I've taken out, ect..
I'm also in the process of creating wishlists, and I'm looking for really unique shades. If you have any recs, please suggest them!

Thanks guys ;)

Haulage.

Ok, so I'm pretty satisfied.
I went to Walgreens to stock up on polishes to franken with.
I came in, expecting to get 8 or so specific shades that I needed to make my HP collection.. and walked out with 21 polishes, all for the same price I expected to spend.

Life is great :)
Except for the fact that I missed my empties package today, so I'll have to go pick it up sometime at the post office.

Oh dear.
Sorry for the really short post, I just really don't have a lot to talk about ;)
