July's Nail Polish Haul

I'm so rubbish at blogging at the moment, I just haven't got the time or the energy to do what I'd like to do, so I've been a bit poor at posting any swatches. But I'm still collecting polish and my stash is still growing, and haul photos are something that don't take too much time so at least I can keep up with my monthly haul posts.

This month started off slowly, I was on late shifts so didn't get to the shops much, but the second half of the month included visits to TX Maxx and pound shops, and I got a few bits from ebay.

Exciting finds this month included a sexy red vintage Revlon with flakies in it, some vintage Maybellines, my first essence polishes (my local Wilkinsons has now started stocking them), and my very first Chanel.

Right let's show you what I got then. :-)

OPI - AWoman Prague-ative, Miss Piggy's Big Number, Muppets World Tour, Kermit Me To Speak

Revlon - Heartthrob Red, Typhoon, Pounce, Berry, Fierce

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.

January's Nail Polish Haul

Well January was a fun month for collecting polish for me, I got my first Essie's and some great bargains from the pound shops, on top of that I ordered some Nubar polishes from feelunique which got damaged on their way to me, it lead to a very long winded story to get what I ordered, but I have to say that their customer service team were really great and made sure I got my polishes in the end.

I also got yet more Jess polishes from Poundland, it seems they're being a bit sneaky and are changing some of the polishes as they go along, so there is a few different versions of some colours, in fact I've found four different versions of one colour so it looks like I'll have to do some posts about the different ones I've found for those interested in them, they certainly are coming up with some pretty awesome colours.

Okay, enough talk, here's my haul....

December's Nail Polish Haul

Okay, so I officially love the Boxing Day / New Year sales, there were far too many sales to look at, but the one that was top of my list was Sally's as I wanted to go pick up some cheap OPI and China Glaze polishes, needless to say Sally's didn't disappoint and I left a very happy girl. :-)

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.

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

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

January Haul Fun with Polished Claws Up!

Today's post is my 100th post, I can't believe I'd done that many already, I'm really enjoying blogging, so here's to another 100!

Last month after doing my December haul post, Dana (from Polished Claws Up) and I thought that it'd be fun to a monthly haul post together, we both love vintage polish and I think we're both pretty excited to see what we've both found this month. so after you've seen my haul make sure you check out Dana's haul too.

I really enjoyed getting all the polish together that I've bought this month even though it's a little bit crazy when you see how much you buy in a month, but it's a nice record for me to see what I got and when. I've also noticed that my haul posts are some of my most popular so at least I know that people want to see them.

This post is a bit embarrassing as I have got so much this month, and it's made this post a bit (to say the least) picture heavy, anyway, here's some photo spam. :-)
 

Revlon - Violet X-Treme, Berry Avenger, Lavender Smoke, Ultra Violet, Lavenlight Blueberry Twist

Revlon - Vixen, Sandalwood Beige, Regal Wine, Tangerine Twist, Coffee Bean

December's Nail Polish Haul Part 3 - OPI & Barry M etc

It's part 3 of my December haul post, and I still can't believe how much polish I ended up getting, I'm so happy that my lovely fella got me polish for xmas and I also got a massive surprise when my Dad's girlfriend gave me some OPI minis. 

After christmas I popped into Sally's where I normally just lust after OPI's and then walk out with nothing, but this time they had a sale on and there was no way I could resist a bargain and I came out with a polish I never thought would sit alongside my pound shop polishes. :-)

So this post contains the most expensive polishes I got in december, but in true Heather style I didn't pay full price for any except one, and that was only £2.99!

I hope you're ready for yet more polish porn, because here it comes.....

Barry M - Ruby Glitter, Diamond Glitter, Yellow Topaz Glitter, SLE 2012 A, SLE 2012 B

Barry M Magnetics - Red Sparkle, Green Sparkle, Sparkle Gold, Multi Sparkle, Sparkle Blue, Violet

China Glaze - It's Alive and Ick-A-Bod-y

I had completely forgotten I'd taken these photos of my Halloween manicure, so now they're a bit belated, but I'm posting them anyway.

I've only got about 10 China Glaze polishes and they're all glitters, I really want the latest glitters, but I've got to wait till after christmas to get them.  Anyway, two of my China Glazes are halloween ones, and this halloween I popped them on my nails and took some snaps.

The polishes I used were It's Alive from the 2011 Haunting collection, and Ick-A-Bod-Y from the Awakening collection from 2010.

I love both of these polishes and I couldn't decide which one should be on my nails for Holloween, my boyfriend said I should use both, so that's what I did, I think they work well together.

I couldn't just have one photo of my holloween manicure so here's some more of that glittery goodness, with a slightly arty background. :-)

Revlon Radiant & China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara - Nail Polish Review

I thought I'd have some bling on my nails so I decided some glitter was in order.

The polishes I picked were Revlon's Radiant and China Glaze's Lorelei's Tiara. I love Revlon and was really happy to see that some of the US range had made it's way to the UK and Radiant was one of them. My bottle of Radiant is from the US, and I think it the glitter is slightly different to the UK version, the UK glitter seems slightly curved where as the US glitter is flat, the colours the same, so the only difference between the two should be the UK needing extra top coat to smooth it out.

Revlon Radiant & China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara Bottles

I thought these two would look good together both have blue and silver in them, I hadn't done an accent nail before but I thought it looked really cool, although my boyfriend wasn't impressed by it!
