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.

Maybelline Color Show Brocades - Foil Flash, Knitted Gold, Woven Skyline, Rosy Rosettes 
Barry M Christmas Limited Editions - Boots C, Boots D, Superdrug E, Superdrug F, Lady 
Bourjois - Dangerous Wish, Enchanting Potion

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...

Orly - Androgynie

Barry M - Sour Apple, Liquorice, Superdrug Limited Edition SLE 2013 B

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

Seven Shades of Green Round Up

Here's a swatch from each of the seven days of green, I thought it'd be nice to see all the polishes together in one post. :-)

Day 1 - Maybelline Colorama - Park Green

Day 2 - Sally Hansen Laquer Shine - Glow

Seven Days Of Green - Day 5 Collection 2000 Spangles

Today I've got a bright green creme for you, I hope you like it.

Here's Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Spangles, a funky bright green, put this on your nails and you'll be sure to be seen. :-)

I got this from the poundshop when they were selling a load of old Collection 2000 make up cheap, needless to say I'm more than happy to own this beauty. I think the best place to find a bottle of this is from ebay now, although it should be nice and cheap which is always a good thing.
 

This was three thick coats, I had problems with it drying as soon as it touched my nails (the bottle does say it's fast dry, but I wasn't expecting it to be that fast), and was looking really streaky, three coats did the trick, and thankfully it levelled out well, so looked pretty good in the end.


It's a nice bright green creme, and I think it could be a dupe for OPI's Who The Shrek Are You? but I don't have that so can't compare, but it is on my wishlist so if I do get it I'll do a comparison.

Cheerio for now, I'll be back tomorrow with more green polish for you.

Heather. :-)

Another Nail Polish Haul

Hey,

I got some new polish while I was in town yesterday, so I thought I'd share my goodies with you.

I got loads of stuff I'm really happy with and best of all the most I paid for a polish was £1!

Get ready for some photo spam. :-)

Sally Hansen Paparazzi & Strike A Pose

Sally Hansen Model Behavior, Eel Skin & Delphinium

The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure's were all £1 from the pound shop, I'm really happy with getting Model Behavior, it looks like the perfect blue, Delphinium isn't the kind of colour I'd pay full price for, but I'm really intrigued by it, I've not got many muted colours so it'll be interesting to see if I like it on my nails.

Bargain Nail Polish Haul

I went shopping today and I got some nice cheap polish, so I thought I'd share my haul with you.

I always go into pound shops and forget to pick up a basket, it's a pain when you find they've got a lot of good stuff, I'm standing there with all these polishes in my hands and I get to the point where I need to decide which ones to get but I don't want to put them down in case someone else nabs them! Baskets are very handy as I found out today, only problem was that I ended up buying all of the polish in my basket, naughty me!

I got two Maybellines from the market, and from the pound shops I got some more Rimmels for my collection, a random brand I've never seen before, a really old 90's Boots 17, my first Astors, and best of all some Sally Hansen HD's.

I do love being able to get polish that was never released here, it always feels like I've found something special.

Here's a few photos of my bargains, let me know if there's any you'd like me to review.

L-R Sally Hansen - Opal Truth, Collection 2000 - Hot Purple, Boots 17 - Heavenly, Collection 2000 - Shameless, Maybelline - Icy Pink, Maybelline - Missing Label, Active Cosmetics - Pixie
