i passed by sally and got 2 orly treatments to give them a try. a long time ago i tried the nailtrition one, a mini bottle and i liked it, so i decided to get the big one now, and i also got the bonder base coat for free. REMEMBER ORLY PRODUCTS ARE BUY1 GET1 FREE this month! there are 11 days left!! 

 

i said i was not going to get more base coats till i finished all the ones i have open right now. so im going to start these ones later. 

I went to get the big seche vite refill bottle, but they didnt have it blah.gif. i saw the poshe one but didnt get it. i found the out the door one, so i decided to ge the 2.5oz bottle, its huge!!! ill give it a try later tonight.

 

Cartonchic- if you love greens you have to try NUBAR RECLAIM. i got it from ebay at $7.?? with free shipping, because the nubar site has crazy shipping for just one bottle, like $14. i bet you are going to love it!! poke.gif   thmbup.gif

Gosh, another great haul jennyap! I know I don't need Butler Please and Where's My Chaffeur, but dammit, I want them! Indian Ocean is to die for, I have that one. Great swatch spam too?

 

Thanks honeyonboost! I think the little Hits bottles are just so cute. It's a shame the brushes can be a mixed bag.

 

BuickMackane I must have more Phenomena glitters! If only Ozotic didn't discontinue the Elytras :(

 

How many polishes do you guys have? My collection is sitting around the 750 mark icon_eek.gif but I'm trying to work through my untrieds and clear out some stuff at the moment!

Good grief, Hits brushes are hideous! Half of mine had to receive a haircut before I could actually use them lol.gif

 

Yeah, so annoying that they had to DC Elytras. They were brilliant. Check out Borealis. I don't remember there being a dupe for that in the Elytra range.

post #2016 of 7082

Whew! Finally caught up! I'm loving all the new mani pics and hauls.

 

@ Medgal - Your polkadot nails are too cute! You and Naughty are so sweet with your comments. bouquet.gif

 

@ honey - I haven't worn Let's Go Crazy yet, but you are so making me want to. Beautiful!

 

@ jennyap - Thanks for sharing your A-England haul and your swatches. I ran out of nail sticks before I could finish swatching all of my polishes, but I started to noticed trends within my own collection as well. I have a lot more dark colored polishes than I thought, and I'm surprised by how many blues I have.

 

@ littlepickle - wavey.gif Nice to meet you!

You can see exactly how many I have - with today's haul I have exactly 61, so I have a LONG way to go to catch you all up. Mind you, I'm doing my best, I'm pretty sure I've bought as many this month as the whole of last year combined icon_eek.gif

Lol, come on guys! I'm trying to have some willpower.

 

kimibos, you found Poshe at Sally's? I still haven't made my way to the store yet. I did a mani yesterday with Chanel Rose Confidentiel. I used the Beauty Secrets top coat just to give it another try and the drying drops. I had to wash my hands about an hour later and my nails were ruined. I patted my hands dry, but still got towel prints and smudged nails. I had to leave and didn't have time to change it. I still wore the color for a day so I'm crossing it off my untrieds list!

th_worship.gif at 750. I just counted 163 in my stash. I don't think that's a lot. It also doesn't seem like that many when I look at the bottles.

I thought for sure you had taken the Dior plunge! No Essies.  Be still my heart.  There are some wonderful NP colors in the brand. Of your list above I have Trout Pout, Cream Tea, Knackered (green :), Wallis & Tea With the Queen.  Today I banished my polka dot mani for Trustafarian, which I've had even before joining this thread.  I love its softness, and I was able to create a serene green eye look w/ one of the MAC holiday Fabulousness eye kits---surprisingly nice pairing & outcome.

Thank you so much for all the welcomes everyone!

 

Naughtyp I adore Butter London too. I only have a handful of them though because the NZ retail price is $30.90 icon_eek.gif My biggest stash is China Glaze, closely followed by Kleancolor & Color Club. I wouldn't say Kleancolor are my favourite, but they are so cheap and have so many unique colours (mostly the glitters)!

 

Buickmackane - that is a pretty sweet avatar you have there :)

 

Cute mani medgal! Looking forward to meeting Cartoon Chic. Dragon has been a lemming of mine for so long. I can only conclude we all have amazing taste!

 

Here is my current mani - sorry for the spam, it's hard to narrow down the photos with colour shifting glitter!

 

Hits Phenomena Moonbow, 2 coats over black.

I know I have more than 200 and I'm positive it's less than 400.  If I continue on this thread, that could change very quickly.  I'm trying to focus on the untrieds too.   thud.gif

Awesome! im going to the event on the 5th too! =D my bf is out of work =( so i will be buying Archies for myself lol.

 

Speaking od Archies, no one really seems to care about the np over in that thread. So i will ask if any of my fellow np addicts are planning to get any from the archies set?

 I want the coral betty one ( not like i need another coral but hey!) and the berry Veronica one. More for collectors sake than the colors. 

Is that silly?

I want the 3 np in Baking Beauties too I think. The mint one for sure, maybe the pink and periwinkle. But i have a lot of pastely cream polishes i just bought...........and a lot of blue pinks and periwinkles. We will see!

Yeah, they're very glittery. Definitely not to everyone's taste. The godawful removal is only worth it if you really love your glitters.

Yay! I'm putting the breaks on my NP shopping as well. I'll get the DL Staccatos and Mermaids and that's it. Need (lots of) cash for all those new MAC collections! eeksign.gif

 

No, it's another one. Although, I'm hovering at Stockmann hearly every day for Mac and other food.

 

I wish I could limit, but I have some things on my list until I can go back to more occational buys.

 

 

Today I'm wearing Heroine on lips and Nubar Pasadena Purple on nails. It's the bomb! My favourite purple shade. I can't believe I kept this one in the bottle for years. Mac cannot top this!

 

(Sorry, the top coat messed up the edges.)

 

And yes, if you don't have Reclaim yet, you need it!!! CC, look at this!

I'm going to get at least one Betty polish, and BB's mint and periwinkle are on my mind, too!

post #2032 of 7082

I will skip Archie. That's a first, ladies and gents! *bows*

I also will have to seriously cut back on the np spendings, seeing all the awesome MAC collections we'll get in the Spring!

 

I really hope that my np will arrive today. But we had some ice rain yesterday (the airport had to close down) and snow today, so I somehow doubt it. Meh.

Pasadena Purple is beautiful! I haven't got it though because I have ChG Coconut Kiss, which is meant to be ever so slightly cooler in tone.

 

re: Stockmann - it's the only department store I know in Finland so I thought I should give it a shot lol.gif. I was so pleased to find some AHAVA stuff there when I visited Helsinki in summer 2011.

For me, the break will be February and March - do you buy your MAC in Germany? Because we'll get Archie in March. February ist Strength (thank God I've got my items already) and the brow thingies. And I think they will spring something on us for March that we don't now about yet - because only one collex?! Unheard of! *g*

post #2038 of 7082

Look what the postie just brought:

 

 

Finally!

 

Still waiting for the OPIs, though - they come from a seller in GB too and where shipped before the a-englands. Strange.

I buy almost all of my goodies in the US.Yes, you are probably right and there will be another collection in March.

Only one collection a month would definitely be strange blinks.gif

No NPs in the post for me. Jeez. I'm getting super worried about my BB Couture haul now. And my NARS Pokerface which was shipped on December effin 26th! icon_eek.gif

 

Anyways, today's mani was 2 coats of OPI What's With the Cattitude topped with Sephora Chaotic, which a dear friend and colleague brought back for me from her short stay in NY (yay for conferences!). It's almost a dead on dupe for Lynderella Join the Dots. There was a bit of a glass file massacre shortly before this mani came to life, so my nails look like those of a 10-year old. Which is pretty much business at usual as far as I'm concerned.

 

What was I saying? Yes, mani: With flash:

 

 

 

And another pic, blurry but a lot more colour accurate:
