Gah! I managed to resist Beauty.com's free Lippmann Boom Boom Pow deal, but I couldn't escape butterlondon.com's current promo. 30% off and free shipping. I used the opportunity to get some of the US exclusive polishes so I wouldn't have to order them from each individual store.
Cake-Hole - Macy's Exclusive
Brummie - Macy's Exclusive
Scouse - Dillard's Exclusive
Sprog - Ulta Exclusive
Tee Total - Ulta Exclusive
I don't see Tee Total on Ulta's website, but Sprog is still there. I didn't want to spend too much, so I didn't get the Nordstrom Exclusives Stag Do and Billy No Mates. I already have Two Fingered Salute. I'm going to hopefully pick them up during Nordstrom 's next buy 2/get 1 free promotion.
Awesome haul! 30% off on exclusive shades is a great deal!
my no-buy effort is going to hell... 
soon 
i just cant pass a good sale. i feel like if i make it 3 more weeks after today or until the next BL spring collection, im going to be ok with myself.
I was going to say something along the lines of 'hang in there' but I then I read your post further down the thread

It's hard to stay strong isn't it? i almost caved too today, multiple times. I was gonna skip DL Cleopatra In New York, but today i woke up with the feeling that i need it in my life, lol 
Come on girl, we can do this 
Honest opinion? Cleo is gorgeous. But it's also very dupable. I think we'll see some budget friendly alternatives very soon. Seriously, it's basically gold glitter in black jelly. Hardly rocket science to dupe it.

I want cake hole too, just for the name lol. I only have Brummie and 2 Fingered Salute ( just used that one for my last np change) I decided i want jack the lad and scallywag from the holiday collection. otherwise I'm trying to wait for the spring colors, I want 4 of them lol plus the opi mini euro set, the mini mariah set plus butterfly dream ( my first nude np!), a couple of the Estée Lauder ones, some Nopi ones ( from Selena Gomez and modern family collections).
they I can try to go on a no buy..... or at least a low buy lol
I need more baskets for my collections!!
Me likey! The best thing about a low buy is how subjective it is. How low is low? Hehe.
girls i need help. i have julep ivy and it looks really close to BL scouse. do you agree with me that they look like dupes?
Dunno about Ivy but Scouse is very close to Orly Lunar Eclipse and OPI DS Magic are pretty darn close. The pink shimmer may be a tad more pronounced in Scouse though. Unfortunately I can't compare them right now unless my NP collection is teleported to me

Naah. Small font makes everything better. Good choices! I've been drooling over Artful Dodger for ages. It's beautiful! 
I thought you already had Scuppered?
Just saw this ..

So glad Illamasqua decided to bring it back, missed out on it and have been wanting it for some time now.
Can't wait to get my hands on one in february 2013! 
I didn't buy it the first time round because of the sheerness. I'll probably get it now.
I wish Illamasqua brought back Hectic and Fern. I've been looking for them all over the place (well, eBay) but no luck so far. I need Hectic!
Don't feel bad and enjoy your polishes, the 30% off deal is just too good to not take advantage of. Wish they'd ship to Belgium lol 
That's a great way to lend a helping hand! Maybe I should help too.
thanks girls you are soo cool. no need to join me but then who am i to stop you from polish fumes in your lifes!! 
i may be able to skip some once we get more swatches but the mint one is a must. i have a mintphilia
