Soooo now that I’m employed again and I can shop… I’ve kind of gone nuts in the last week or so! I’m waiting on packages from: Paris Sparkles, Glitzology, Head2Toe and 2 packages each from Born Pretty Store and MUA. Then today MaSucree and I went out shopping and I came home with 18 new babies. Woops! Wanna see?
The whole darn lot! In my defense… the four in the middle I stole from MaSu (technically the OPI was my Christmas present).
My Very First Knockwurst from the Germany collection, my Christmas present from MaSu because she knows how much I love me some nudes
Nfu.Oh #65 (omggg holo!) ; Nfu.Oh #68 ; China Glaze Luxe & Lush
These were a few that MaSu was a bit meh about so I took them off her hands. I love holos and I’m always keen for a backup of something as awesome as Luxe & Lush!
Mink & Diamonds ; Fiery Diamond
I only have 4 Sally Hansen polishes and they are all from the Insta-dri line, so I’m looking forward to trying these two out! I picked these up for $2 each (!!!) at a cosmetics sale outlet in New Lynn.
Aurora ; Neon Purple
A couple more Kleancolors that I didn’t already have and picked up for $3 each at a dollar store in Lynn Mall. I have seen Aurora used in so many beautiful manis in the blogosphere so decided I needed my own, and Neon Purple has a pretty subtle shimmer that said “buy me, woman!” when I looked at her.
Cocktail ; Candy Sprinkles ; Mistletoe
Yes, I already have a bottle of Candy Sprinkles. But it’s so lovely and I’m terrified of running out so I’ve gotten a backup while they’re still available! Cocktail seemed like a pretty soft girly glitter, which I don’t have many of (I usually get outrageous glitters), and Mistletoe looked so odd I had to have it!
w7 polishes: Metallic Jupiter ; Metallic Mercury ; Metallic Neptune
Ever since MaSucree posted about her w7 hauls I have been stalking Postie stores searching for them, but alas! To no avail! So when I had to opportunity to stalk the very store she found them in, I went a bit nuts. They had all the things I wanted and more…
w7 polishes: Metallic Mars ; Metallic Saturn ; Metallic Venus ; Cosmic Green
I couldn’t resist the awesomeness.
Anyway, wasn’t that fun! I can’t wait to try all these out and hopefully (eventually) get some swatching done. It’s much harder now to fit in swatching with full-time work and a terrible lighting set-up at night. I may need to look into making a lightbox or something! It will be strange because I’ve always preferred swatching with natural daylight. But we’ll see what happens
And so as to leave you with something other than pictures of bottles, here are the nails I wore out shopping!
Kleancolor Ocean Wave (metallic blue) + China Glaze Pizzazz (rainbow glitter) + Nfu.Oh #03 (sheer white jelly).
I freakin’ love this effect, to me it is *somewhat* reminiscent of the Nails Inc. Sprinkles polishes that I’m still desperately lusting after. Sometimes I have to make do with the hundreds of bottles I have here at home. So sad
Lates!

Pst… I also bought a new mascara, 2 rings, some earrings, and a new dress while we were out… But I thought it was enough to show you all the polish










Now THAT’S how to shop! Good girl!
Praise me more! Teehee <3
I got Mistletoe on the weekend too! I’ve just announced to husband that I need.. NEED to go to to that outlet store
Yes! Yes you do! It’s across the road from Lynn Mall
Which outlet store? And where did you find the W7? I’m always keen for weekend mishes out west.
w7 are at the Lynn Mall Postie, and the outlet store is across the road from Lynn Mall
