W7 - Orange Dazzle

Now as much as I love my vintage polish I also love cheap polish, especially when when it comes from a company who puts out really cool stuff.

W7 is one of those brands that I have ended up getting loads of as they just make such great colours and the quality isn't bad at all for a £2 polish. I used to be able to pick from most of their range from my local market stall, but since that closed I've had to rely on poundshops and T J Hughes to get them, I need to find someone local that stocks them as I'm missing out on new releases at the moment. 

I've got amazing duochromes, Magnetic and glitter polishes by them, and todays polish is one of their amazing glitters, it's sooo cool and it just gives me a big cheesy grin whenever I look at my nails when I wear it.

Say hello to Orange Dazzle, which really does dazzle you in real life, much more so than the photos show.

February's Nail Polish Haul

Oh dear, I did it again, I just couldn't resist those pound shops and bargain hunting and I've ended up with quite a haul again, good job I got extra Helmer's to keep all this extra polish in!

Models Own had a great 50% off sale so I snapped up a few things off my wish list including Disco Inferno which for some reason my local Boots store never get any stock of even though every other colour gets re-stocked. Other goodies include some super sexy Nubar duochromes, Bling-tastic Nail's Inc Crystal Cap's, Amazingly cheap China Glaze Crackles for £1 each, yet more Poundland Jess glitters, and some more Laura Paige, which is a brand based just down the road from me.

November's Nail Polish Haul

T J Hughes reopened in Coventry this month which made me a little excited as when it was last open I used to get quite a few nice things from there at great prices. It has changed a little bit though, as there were quite a few make up items that I knew were for sale in pound shops but were at least £1.99 or more in T J Hughes, needless to say I avoided those bits, but that didn't stop me picking up one or two (okay, several!) polishes while I was looking around.

This month I also got a selection of Jess polishes from Poundland, this is a new brand that seems to only be sold there, and there is some really nice colours, we're talking duochromes and funky glitters, so I snapped a few up and will be keeping an eye out to see it they are a fleeting brand or if it's around to stay.

Right, let's get to the polish porn, I've still only got my dodgy camera that won't behave so I'm afraid the photos suck a bit.

Octobers Nail Polish Haul

I got some great polish this month, Maybelline released their Brocades collection which I love (I just wish we had the whole collection in the UK, I've seen the US collection and I need the green one). Barry M released four limited editions for christmas for Superdrug and Boots, two of which are lovely bar glitters. I love the Barry M christmas polishes, the matching foil caps are so cool, and let's face it who doesn't love matching caps.

July's Nail polish Haul

This month I went a little crazy, buying nail polish whenever I saw something that tickled my fancy. Although I have to admit it was pretty much all down to me doing a bit of retail therapy as July was an awful month for me, I started driving buses on my own at last, which wasn't always easy when you have buses breaking down and drunks threatening you, but I can deal with all that as I was always expecting it, it just tired me out much more than I thought it would, but the biggest reason for my retail therapy is because of my beloved cat Savvy, as you might know if you read this blog regularly Savvy was diagonosed with cancer just over four months ago and sadly he passed away this month leaving a very big hole in my heart, I'm always going to miss him.

Anyway, here's the photos of my haul, as with Junes haul post I had problems with my crappy camera, so these aren't the best photos.

June's Nail Polish Haul

This is a very rough and ready post, I really need a new camera, you wouldn't believe it but these photos were taken in bright sunlight outdoors, but they were so dark I've had to fiddle with them to make them brighter, I'm certainly not going to be winning any photography awards for this post. :-)

So this month I got a few really awesome polishes, I think my favs are the Nails Inc ones. I havent worn them yet, but they are jelly bases with a golden micro glitter and they dry textured, I can't wait to swatch them for you as they're like nothing else I've seen.

So here's the very dodgy photos of this months haul...

May's Nail Polish Haul

It's haul time again, you know every month I don't intend to buy as much polish as I do, but I just end up in situations where there's little bottles of polish telling me to take them home and cherish them, I just can't say no to them, I just hope they're happy in their new home. :-)

This months haul was made up of both vintage and new stuff, in fact most of it is new stuff which is unusual for me, but it's nice to have a mix as even though I always get a buzz from a great vintage find it's just as much fun to go into Superdrug or Boots and spot an exciting new polish that you just have to have.

Sally Hansen - Rhinestone Frost, Soft Blush, Shy, Lavish

Sally Hansen - Gray by Gray, Black Platinum, Angel Wings, Hidden Treasure

April's Nail Polish Haul

Hi guys,

I'm so excited with this months haul, I've had the most amazing luck with crossing some long time lemmings off my list, and I also found a Revlon Zing polish to add to the list of Euro Zings that Revlon produced (see my Zing collection here). It was my birthday in April and my lovely fella took me polish shopping and helped me pick out some of the W7's and I was given the Topshop's as well. 

The lovely market stall in my town is closing so I grabbed a load of their W7's while I could, I'll miss that little stall, I got some real gems from there in the past.

Anyway, enough waffling, here's the piccy's of my haul.

Revlon - Jungle Zing, Cherry Zing, Silver Star, Metallic Silver, Copperglaze Platinum, White Whisper

Revlon - Velvet Zing (this was an OMG find, and I didn't believe it was real until I had it in my hands)

February's Nail Polish Haul

Hi guys, sorry about the lack of activity lately, I've just not been feeling up to it, but I'm back and will be a better blogger I promise. :-)

Normally I'd do a haul post on the last day of the month with Dana from Polished Claws Up!, Dana's had a busy month so isn't doing a haul post this month, but still go and check her blog out here. I've been a bit behind as I needed to borrow a camera to take the photos, my photos aren't great, but hopefully you'll get the idea.

This months haul included my first Versace polish, I had to get it for it's cute little box, and I got a ton of old Cutex polishes which I just couldn't resist, and here's my lastest haul, as always, if there's any you'd like to see swatched let me know. :-)

OPI - Extra-va-vaganza!, Fresh Frog of Bel Air, China glaze - Trendsetter, Versace - V 2018

Maybelline Colorama - Peach Daiquiri, Purple Party, Twinkling Toffee, Emerald Frost, Pink Pinata x2
