Saturday Nail Haul

Today I went to Sally Beauty Supply. I had a coupon for $10 off of $20 since it's my birthday month. Plus on top of that Sally's is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all their nail polish :) So this is what I ended up bringing home with me lol
 L to R: Rose Among Thorns (Neon), Tree Hugger, For Audrey, Dress Me Up
 "Rose Among Thorns" just looked pretty in the bottle so I had to have it :) I love greens so I figures "Tree Hugger" would be a nice addition to my collection. I'm always reading about "For Audrey" so I figured I 'd give it a try. I wasn't planning on getting "Dress Me Up" but after seeing a few swatches of it I decided it would be a nice polish to own.
 L to R: Sunset Sail, Oxygen, Rainbow, Fast Forward Top Coat

I was looking for some neutral colors so I picked up "Sunset Sail" and "Oxygen" and "Rainbow is so pretty I thought it would make for some fun layering.
I thought it was funny that China Glaze is my favorite brand of polish and I have never tried their Top Coat, so I figured this was as good a time as any to try it out.
I know you thinking... "Hey, if the polishes were buy 2 get one free, why are you only showing up 8 polishes? Aren't you missing one?" Well my friend you are correct :) I did get a 9th bottle but I felt it wasn't necessary to show it since it was just a back up bottle of "Ruby Pumps" It's almost always out of stock so I figured it wouldn't hurt to get a bottle for a future swap :)
Well after Sally's I went to Ulta just to look around. I was really excited to find that they had butter London "Tart With A Heart"
Well that's it for today. I always have such a hard time deciding what polish to wear next so these polishes are just going to make it harder lol.

Here's a funny for you :) More can be found on my Funnies page

Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for my next giveaway once I reach 200 followers :)

My Monday Lunch Time Haul

So where I work I get a 2 hour lunch Mon, Wed, and Fri. Most times I just work through it, but on Monday I decided to just do some bumming around. I went to Sally's, Ulta, Walgreens, and CVS. This is what I ended up coming home with lol..... Hey I had 2 hours to kill :)

First I went to Walgreens to get a few Sinful Colors since the are on sale for $0.99 this week. So I picked out these pretties:
"Dream On" - Bright neon Purple
"Snow Me White" - Just a basic white, nothing special
"You Just Wait" - Pink with a duochrome of green. I think It will look awesome layered
"Daredevil" - Hot bright pink, with a bit of a blue hue to it

One thing I noticed is there is another color, "Bikini" that looks likes a dupe for "Daredevil" I held the bottles up to each other and they looked the exact same... So not sure what it going on with that, but I got "Daredevil" since I liked the name better lol. I'm looking for a good white polish so I figured I'd give SC a try. I also picked up "Just You Wait" and when I got home I realized I had already bought it awhile ago... oh well.

 "Glass Pink" - A very sheer, sparkly pink
"Blue By You" - Bright blue with blue glass flecks
"Island Coral" - Light coral cream

I saw a swatch of "Island Coral" with "Just You Wait" layered over it... So pretty! To see it take a look at That's So Fresh's Blog

Also when I was at Walgreen's I saw they had the Nabi Magnetic nail polish display. This is the second Walgreen's I've seen them at. I snapped a photo of the display so you know what to look for:
The picture enlarges, so you can really see the colors. My phone takes really good photos lol... Anyway, I decided to pick up 2 more..
 When I first posted about these polishes I was disappointed that they didn't have names... Well I realized that if you carefully peel the sticker off the bottom of the bottle, they do in fact, have a name and a number. Granted the name are boring, but at lease I have something to refer to them as lol. So I pick up "Purple" and "Dark Gold" I bet someone had a tough time coming up with those clever names lol.
 I really liked the gold one because it looks like it has glitter in it... I can't wait to try it out.


Ok, So after Walgreen I went to CVS, I was still looking for a few more of the Spoiled polishes. I had a list of the ones I really wanted, I only have one more to go which is "Pet My Peacock" which I want mostly because of the name :) I did find 2 that I was looking for, 1 I just decided to try, and 1 I picked up and fell in love with:

 "The Parking Meteor Expired" - I fell head over heels for this polish. I want to get a back up bottle. One the nail it looks almost black, but when you look closer you can see a blue tint to it (like in the picture) and there are glass fleck in blue, green, purple, and pink. Pictures could never capture the awesomeness of this polish. Just do you and you collection and go buy this NOW!!!!  :)
"Correction Tape" - Just another white I decided to try in my search for a good white polish
"Deeper Dive" - Teal with gold flakes, and I've heard it is a dupe for Zoya "Charla" which I don't have but you can find a good comparison on glamonthecheap's blog
"My Saturn Broke Down"

That was all for CVS... On to Ulta....
 They had the new O.P.I. collection out so I grabbed the 2 I liked from seeing them on other blogs, and a random blue that caught my eye.
"Wooden Shoe Like To Know?" - light brown with a golden-copper shimmer
"Yoga-Ta Get This Blue" - A very pretty deep blue that I'm not sure how to describe
"Gouda Gouda Two Shoes" - Dirty rose pink with shimmer

Lastly I went to Sally's
 China Glaze "Some Like It Haute" FingerPaints set included "Curator's Crimson" and "Vintage Violet" and a small bag, China Glaze "Blonde Bombshell"

Both of the China Glaze's are from the Eye Candy collection. I couldn't remember which ones I had but since they were on sale I didn't care lol. I already had "Blonde Bombshell" so it will go in my swap pile:)

OMG! The FingerPaint's were a great deal. 2 polishes and a small bag for only $3. I was lucky :)

Well there you have it. That's what I did during my lunch. I do have a swatch for the purple Nabi polish, and I will try to get it up by the end of the week.

Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions or comments please leave them below. Have a great night!! Oh and here is a cute pic I found. Koala's are my favorite animal :)
Probably how my fiance is going to be when he sees this post lol

Current Hauls...

 I have a few things to post about today... well night actually lol. For those of you that don't know CVS is have a huge cosmetics sale. You can find the master list @ Nouveau Cheap's Blog I went to a couple different ones and this is what I got...
 L to R: Hot Magenta, Crushed, Purple Potion Blue It, Plum Power, Flirt, Ivy League, Gunmetal, Caribbean Coral, Going Green, and Cherry Red... I think they came out to $0.79 each.

I can't remember the name of the Confetti polishes off hand, but I will try and look and update this later if anyone wanted to know. They were $0.49 each. The Sally Hansen Salon effects were $2.50 so I decided I'd give them a try... just not sure when lol. I got the nail stickers for under $1.00 each (2 of them are the same) and then I got 2 lip glosses from Wet N Wild because I like lip glosses and glitter :) I think total for everything was under $20... Not a bad deal at all :)

This past weekend I went to 7 Mile Fair again to pick up some more Kleancolor polishes. They have almost every color between the dozen of people that sell them. I went a bit crazy lol. I ended up buying about 30 bottles of polish... but in my defense they were only $1 each :).... ok ok I'm an addict and I have a problem, but admitting I have a problem is the first step, so really it's not that big of a problem.... well in my head anyways lol........ANYWAYS... here's my new pretties. IF you enlarge the pictures you can see the names... I'm to lazy to type them all today lol, sorry.


 The Pebble Beach colors are: Emerald Step 3, and Ruby Step 4

I also went to Ulta a week or two ago because I saw that they had 2 China Glaze polishes for the holiday so I HAD to get them :) and they were Buy 2 Get 1 Free :)


 I've heard that "Ultamate Holiday" is an Ulta Exclusive so I wanted to get it before it sold out. I also wanted "Fireside Glow" because it, like "Ultamate Holiday", and super pretty and sparkly!!! I guess they are kinda Holos... but I'm not positive on what to call them other then AWESOME!!! I got "Ruby pumps as my free one since I've been wanting it and it's always sold out when I'm actually looking for it. I just happened to find it sitting on another shelf. I also bought Orly "It's ot Rocket Science" I've been told that it is a dupe for "Zombie Zest" which I do own, but I love green so I wanted them both :) I'll have to do my own comparison of them. There are a few others I'd like to do comparisons on too... one day I'll get to it lol.

Lastly, I'm not a big perfume person, I normally go for body sprays. I was a  Wal-Mart the other day and  a box caught my attention, this box:


 The back of the box..

I decided to see what it smelt like so I was glad to see a tester. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but after walking around for a bit and smelling it on my jacket that I accidently sprayed lol I really like it. I also like how the little travel bottle looks like a vial of blood lol.

Here is the description on the parfum from the website:

A spellbinding top note of luscious fruits and flowers lurks with desire. Velvet petals saturate the heart with their seductive powers. Finally, an intoxicating creaminess intensifies her charm and lingers with its warmth, like a soft breath on her skin.

Be intrigued by its delicious allure, as tempting and mysterious as she. Be lost in her spell.

I must say I really like this parfum. My mom even liked it lol, and so did some of the women she works with (she made them smell it :)

Well I think that's it for tonight. Please leave any questions or comments below. Let me know if there are any colors from this post that you would like to see swatched. As always, thanks for reading!!! :)

My haul from 7 Mile Fair a couple of weeks ago...

This is kinda late but, better late then never right :)  Warning: Picture Heavy!!!

So If your not from Milwaukee, WI your probably wondering what the heck is a 7 Mile Fair lol. When I was a kid it was all out doors and it when along the sides of a road called "7 Mile Road" You could find so much stuff. It's kinda like a huge flea market and everyone is selling something different. A lot of the stuff is focused on Mexican, and Spanish people with the music and clothing and food. (No offense to anyone)

I've always loved going because you never know what you are going to find. Nowadays it is mostly all in doors in a building off of 7 Mile Road. During the summer and warm months there is also a large outside section where people peddle their wares lol. A lot of them have polish so that was my mission when I went to find some good polish. Well this is what I found:
 My 18 new polishes and a bottle of Kleancolor Cuticle remover




 Holo's!!!!, Real holo's that is not like the Chunky holos lol

 I heard the metallic's are good for stamping, I will have to try it out :)



 I accidently bought 2 bottles of "Sparkle Emerald" from 2 differnet spots because they looked different at the time lol, also, not sure why it is emerald since it's actually blue.... hmmmm






Well there you have it. I plan to go back maybe next weekend to look for more, but this time I will be armed with a list lol.

Thanks for reading and please leave any questions or comments below, Have a great weekend!!!
