January and February's Haul and a ton of Catrice!

First off, these have my old watermark. I edited these awhile back, sorry! :)

Today's post is my January Haul! And I am so excited for these pretties here! Catrice! Yes! I so wish these were available here in the US. You have already seen some of these being used in my posts. But I thought I would show you the whole haul! :)

 I got these from Jewli over at Fanning the Fumes. Thank you Jewli! So, at the top we have a polish that isn't Catrice but Essence Aquarius. Then we have Catrice No Snow Petrol, Big City Life San Francisco. On the bottom we have: Catrice Greys Kelly, Put Lavender on Agenda, Purpleized, Steel My Heart, How I Matt Your Mother, and Steel My Soul.

Oops! This little guy was forgotten and came later in the mail. See! Not all of them were purple and teal! :) This is Catrice ACid/DC

Up next is the rest of my haul!

Here we have China Glaze Angel Wings and Glistening Snow. Thank you Sally's clearance sale! Woot!

The minis of the OPI So So Skullicious. Hi Pumpkin, A-Rose from the Dead, Mourning Glory, and Candlelight. Nothing too special about these I just liked some of the colors and the packaging is fun! Got this from Ulta.

Here we have OPI Thanks a Windmillon. This was not on sale but I had a coupon and saw so many swatches lately of it that I knew I needed it! Then we have OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Debbie over at The Crumpet swears by this polish, so I got it for clearance at Ulta! :) Next we have a cute little Orly Velvet Rope. He was clearance at Sallys and just too cute to pass up!

This is China Glaze Def Defying and Recycle. I got these from my beauty supply store I go to! Cheaper prices rock! :)

Also from my beauty supply store some Sation polishes! Feliz Navi-Doll a grey shimmer! Shyest Shade, similar to China Glaze Snowglobe. And 3 Freedom, a light taupe.

Some amazing Indies! Pretty & Polished Steampunk. Needed it for the name and the colors! Gorgeous! Next to it is Hit Polish Like, Gag Me With Glitter. I won this little gorgeous guy because I won the naming contest! Yep I named this one! To me it looked like all the colors of the '80s so valley speak was a must! Like, gag me with glitter! :)

 

I finally got the new Cheeky set that came out last year!

And finally a part of my Christmas present from my sister! Nailz Craze NC03 plate! It took awhile to get here with some paypal issues but Natalie (the owner and creator) was very awesome and understanding! Fabulous customer service! I love this plate and can't wait to use it! :)

So that was just January. Up next is February!

These are all from Ulta Clearance! L'Oreal Tweet Me, look at those flakies and shimmer! Next we have OPI Get In The Expresso Lane and Essie Little Brown Dress. I am told these are great for stamping! Finally we have OPI Don't Touch My Tutu. 

Sally Hansen Lickety-Split Lime, Sally Hansen Gone Grey, and Revlon Iconic. More stamping polishes! And then a beautiful Essence Oh My Glitter!

Some Indies? Yes please! I came across this lovely polish Beyond the Goblin City by The Lady Varnishes. I had to get it because it's based on The Labyrinth! Next to is Glimmer by Erica Cherry Blossom and Elixir Lacquer Double D-Struction.

I also got this China Glaze for super duper cheap but I don't know it's name!

Nail decals from RLR Creations Nail Art.

A butt-load  of owl decals! I got these from ebay!

Whew! That's it! Now to catalog and put them all away! :)

Dang it! I've Been Bad...Another Haul!

Yep, I've been bad. Please Santa still bring me gifts, ok? Because I've only been bad about buying more polish! >_<

Next we have Milani White On The Spot and Layla Softouch Effects on Mudhattan (11).

Love Yourself Mani: H&M Bambi On Ice

Talk about glitter that doesn't like to be photographed! :) Too shiny! Hahaha! But I love it! This is a Love Yourself Mani and I love this simple french tip mani with glitter accent nail! :)

I used this stinkin' adorable H&M Bambi polish On Ice, that I had someone get me a while back. I repeat, stinkin' cute! I so bought it for the bottle! But the polish is really nice too! Went one wonderfully! This is only one coat and look how opaque it is! Woot woot! It's like a cement color with a tinge of blue/green.

This picture is more true to life in color. Don't you just love the bottle!

I used Essence No More Drama for my tips and Sation Band Beauty for the accent nail.

Macro bottle shot of Sation Band Beauty. Such pretty glitters! :)



I really liked this mani and wanted to do something for me, that I enjoyed. This is part of the Love Yourself manis. For more information click on this picture or the one in my sidebar to be taken to the facebook group!

NOTD: Stick Figure Band Mani!

Here is one of the things that I love to draw: a Stick Figure Band! In high school I once drew a full page of a Stick Figure Band that had about 10-15 different individual people! (yep, no life!). I decided to draw one on my yellow/pea/spring green comparison that I did the other day.

Zoya Mitzi (thumb), Essence Lime Up! (index), China Glaze Electric Pineapple (middle), OPI Did It On 'Em (ring), and OPI Fiercely Fiona (pinkie finger). I used a normal fine point black Sharpie to draw them on. :)

On my thumb is the drummer, my index is the guitar player, the singer is on my middle finger, the tambourine player is on my ring finger, with the groupie girl on my pinkie! :)

I love it! I hope you do to!

So I wanted to leave my Stick Figure Band on for a few days but I can't draw with my left hand. So, it got one coat of Essence Lime Up! and one coat of Sation Videogame Vixen. Videogame Vixen is a lovely glitter of silver and black micro glitter and larger silver and black glitters!

And now my fellow readers, I am going on a two and a half week vacation! Woot! Woot! So, sadly no posts done by me during that time. :'(

But wait! I have had 14 (because my posts are only monday-friday) wonderfully amazingly talented ladies that have agreed to create some amazingly stunning guest posts for me! Yep, that's right! You get to meet 14 amazing ladies, some you may know and some you may not. But you get to know them through here and can follow each of them on their own blogs! :)

Isn't the polish community spectacular! Thank you so much ladies! I greatly appreciate it! I will be back on Friday, August the 3rd.

I hope you enjoy the next few weeks with these amazing (yep, one more time!) ladies! And the guest posts start up tomorrow morning! :)

Weekend Haul!

Today was suppose to be my Teal Tuesday post but I was sick all day yesterday and had to work yesterday so I put together this quick post of what I bought over the weekend.

(l-r): OPI Samoan Sand (so happy I found this! Now I can do more Jelly Sandwiches not using white!), Agent Lavender (a purple grey, and nothing like the blue that shows up here!). The last two polishes are a new brand to me, though I have seen them swatched before. They are Sation polishes. The first one is Videogame Vixen which is a clear base with black and silver glitter in micro and small hexes! The second one Band Beauty which is a clear base with multi-colored micro and small hexed glitters. Some of the hexes are even holo-like!

Micro bottle shot of Sation Videogame Vixen. Loving this glitter and the name! :)

Micro bottle shot of Sation Band Beauty. Sorry it's a bit blurry. Nothing wanted to work out today. But I'm loving this glitter too! It's more of the pastel multi-colors and not the basic primary multi-colors.

Also bought some glitters to play around with so see if they hold up to polish! This is a bronze micro glitter.

Another thing of glitter to play with! Bronze hex glitter. I'm really lemming a brown glitter and these are the closest I could find. I hope the don't bleed or curl! I just need to buy some base and I will keep you updated!

Oh, what's this? Could it possibly be the newest Bundle Monster plate set? Why yes, yes it is! Woot woot! I'm so excited to try them! This is my first Bundle Monster set!
