I will!  I really love this brand and i wouldn't have ordered from it if it weren't for you and Kimibos. So thanks the both of you!

It actually is. Are you interested by any chance? It was dirt cheap - about 19€.

I'm indeed interested in that set, but since i bought 5 BL's just yesterday i'm afraid i need to pass  Need to do some Christmas shopping first + set some money aside for the Strength collection before i commit to buy more nail polish. I'm sorry

I did buy 5 other colors, i got All Hail The Queen, Trout Pout, Knackered, Queen Vic, and Saucy Jack  Which brings my total of BL polishes to 8 now :)

 

great choices! Saucy Jack is one of my favorite reds.

Thanks! Based on online swatches i was going to check out Come To Bed Red, but when i was looking through the nail polishes in the store i was immediately drawn to this one. Such a deep, rich, sophisticated red, love it

Ok thanks :) I really hope you'll be able to sell it and still get those holiday shades you wanted.

I would love to wear Wallis first, but we're having our formal Hanukkah dinner on Sunday so I was just getting ready to polish my nails with Hyper (Deep blue w/violet pearl) from MAC's Gareth Pugh collection. I could conceivably wear a different polish every day until Saturday. They're just too pretty to just sit on a rack.

Here's the Gareth Pugh NP ....an oldie but goodie  :

Liz they look so pretty.  I hope you enjoy them immensely!  I can't upload photos from my iPad so the hubby let me use his laptop (it's a miracle) so I could share my BL dozen.  After I get BL's Toff, that will be it for me for awhile...famous last words right!

Thank you, i certainly will!  Yours look very pretty as well, hope you'll enjoy them as much as i do ;) And as for that no-buy, i can definitely relate! Went a little overboard lately but hey no regrets

FYI Karmaloop just posted a new coupon code for 40% off plus free shipping. Just picked up fishwife and a lime crime lippie

This is the best time of year to shop from Karmaloop. They always have nonstop coupons that just get better and better. The only thing is that you risk stuff selling out if you wait too long to order. Their Butter London selection has shrunk significantly. A lot of the colors they had have sold out.

Great choices. I've been looking at red polishes because of Medgal and Saucy Jack is one of the reds on my list. Medgal, what colors did you get again? I recognize some of them, but not all. That Gareth Pugh polish is also very pretty.

I'll post a pic of my polishes when they're all delivered. Um, I ordered more over the weekend. I got NARS Koliary since that was a color that disappeared from NARS' website. I was still able to find it at Saks.com. I still have unfinished business with Chanel, so I got Frisson, Frenzy and Particuliere. I had a 15% off coupon from Saks that I didn't want to go to waste. It's not often you can get Chanel at a discount.

I'm also being gifted Mimosa from a very kind and generous Specktrette!

I know I've been splurging like crazy on these polishes. But I keep getting sent coupons and deals that I can't refuse. I see it as the universe telling me I must have them. Who am I to go against the wishes of the universe.

yup! I love waiting till the last minute to buy gifts for all the guys in my family from KL. I bought my bf a herschel wallet last week at 30% (which is great) and went back to get one for my brother today but it was already sold out.

Why I only needed to spend $40, which meant that I'd be spending $30 plus tax...what a deal! I was placing my order when I noticed an additional Item in my cart. It was a FREE BL nail polish. Be still my heart...game on! I had gotten one free BL NP, $10 off & free shipping. I'm a very bad girl...I can't help it! So, this is what my final order looked like;

Jaffa - Juicy Orange
Knees Up (free) - Metallic Red
Lady Muck - Periwinkle Blue
Posh Bird - Smokey Taupe, Glitter
Toff - Dusty Brownish Rose Pink
Tramp Stamp - Dark Chocolate

Hee hee. It's too hard to resist. I want the free polish. I've had stuff sitting in my cart waiting to pull the trigger, but I haven't done it yet. I'm trying to resist. And now Deborah Lippmann is offering a 25% off $60+ coupon. It's like I can't win. Temptation is everywhere. I know I'm going to cave. Just trying to figure out which one I want the most. I can't get both. Can I? No, I can't. Well, maybe I can. But I shouldn't. I keep telling myself this.

Lol, it's probably not a good thing to have discussions with myself out loud. I would say makeup is making me lose it, but I lost it a long time ago.

Make the most of the free NP, bla bla % off and free shipping codes girls! I know I would, if only we had them here. Sigh

Buy now, suffer later. That's been my motto ever since my makeup and NP madness began and I've been getting along just fine. Having lots of pretties to play with eases the suffering beautifully

Lady Muck is awesomeness in a bottle!

^ Yes, we have something! Over the weekend I had a chance to order 1 Illamasqua lippie and 3 nail polishes for almost 50% off (!!!) but I did not...

I need a break... just a few days. All of my previous orders have not yet arrived. Today I finally got Dior Marilyn and Nails Inc Graffiti Camden Lock.

That, m'dear, is what the denizens of the NP thread call a momentary lapse of reason. I'm sure you'll be back with a vengeance once your little break is over

Have fun with your new NPs!

Btw, what is this goldmine that sells Illamasqua lippies and NPs at half price?

AND WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN THERE BEFORE?!?!?!?

It was ASOS! First they had upto 50% off of some makeup (I ordered some other stuff), and then 20% off of everything (there were some overlapping). Compared to regular item prices the reduction was about 45-50% on some sets. BUT they still have VERY GOOD deals on some sets!

Thanks :)

I didn't know ASOS shipped makeup outside the UK. I probably confused it with another company. ASOS, here I come!

Just ordered Hannukah Floam, Candy Cane Floam and Girly Floam from Ninja Polish! I'm so excited!

I was going to get Pinkerbell Floam too but the total amount would then be noticeably greater than the safe EUR22. It's not LE so I can get it later

CartoonChic, YOLO! BTW, where are you storing all of this NP? I can tell you're a super organized person!!

Thanks for the reminder ladies. Medgal, sorry to hear about your Aunt. You're right, YOLO. Here's the damage!

HSN.com - 15% off + $10 credit

• DL Today Was a Fairytale - contains virgin diamond powder

Beauty.com - $15 off $75 + $10 credit

• DL Sweet Dreams
• DL Boom Boom Pow - contains 24K gold dust
• BL Scoundrel
• BL Dahling
• BL Queen Vic
• BL Knees Up (free)

Chanel Polishes - $10 off

• Coco Blue
• Blue Boy
• Blue Rebel
• Fire

I'm very happy that I got everything with some type of discount or coupon. I've been debating the Chanel Les Jeans polishes for quite some time. I decided to finally get them before I lost my chance. I also wanted to get Lilac Sky, but it sold out on me so I got Fire instead. It'll kick off my red polish haul that I plan to do in February.

YOLO!

Up until the other day, my polishes were all squirreled away in different corners of the room. I now have them stored temporarily in a cardbox box, which is quite fitting considering that's probably where I'll end up if I keep shopping like this. I've been trying to figure out a permanent storage solution for them. I don't think wall shelves will be an option for me, so I'll probably end up storing them in boxes or drawers.

I've also been keeping my polishes in their packaging. I was going to remove the polish from their boxes once I figured out how I was going to store them. But after seeing honeyonboost's pics, I think I'll keep them like that. It didn't occur to me that the Chanel caps will be in the way of seeing the polish color. The boxes have the polish names printed right on the lid so I always know what I'm picking. I think I'll store my Butter Londons on their sides like kimibos did. Will this hurt the polish to not have them standing up?

I have enough polishes now to where I'm going to invest in nail swatches. I was going to get the nail wheels at Sally's, but I found these nail sticks instead on eBay. I like them a lot better because there's more room for labeling, they're clear and they're separated. I don't have to worry about repainting the nails like I would on a nail wheel as my collection grows. Plus they're cheaper than Sally's nail wheels.

Wow, my Beauty.com order has shipped already. I love shopping there. I feel so spoiled by them.
