HAUL-ler

I've hauled a little bit of polish in the last month. Mostly from sales and some swaps. I'm trying to get my never-ending wishlist down, but as soon as I take a few names, off I add 10 more. This is my life. 

:]

First off, I set my alarm at 7am my time to be up in time for the anual Rescue Beauty Lounge sale. But I forgot to add in the fact that daylight savings time exists everywhere else but here. So I woke up an hour too early. I placed my order with my hair dipping and still in a towel, but I would do anything to get these polishes.

I begged my mother before the sale to pay for them since I've seen super broke lately. I blame that on being 21 and in college. Drinking and looking cute while drinking is expensive. LOL. But, I digress.

I made up my mind on which polishes I wanted the night before the sale. But even while placing the order I couldn't decide between Teal or Dead Calm. I ended up with Dead Calm in my basket because I knew I would be getting OPI Ski Teal We Drop (see below) soon and I know they're pretty similar. I'm happy with my order and I only wish the Tudor polishes were part of the sale as well as Grunge (It was, and still is, sold out).

NOTD. (Sorry it isn't shiny anymore. :/ Stupid Seche Vite.
The next 2 polishes are from a blog sale. I've been leming for MAC's Goth Girl from the Style Black collection FOREVER! I finally found it, along with China Glaze Atlantis on a blog sale. OMG, they are both worth every penny and more and absolutely beyond anything I ever imagined.

Atlantis is now in my top 10 favorite colors ever. Hell, I may even be my top favorite color. It was my mani for a whole week! Every time I was out in the sun, all I could look at were my nails and the chuncky holo glitter goodness. Keep in mind that I was mostely in the sun while driving, which probably wasn't the safest idea, but I just couldn't not look at the amazingness on my nails. (Side note, everytime I wear it, I layer it over $OPI Ocean Love Potion as the base color is too sheer)

On to my newest OPIs: by bestie from out of town came to visit, and a few days before I called and asked her if she could pick up OPI's Ski Teal We Drop from her work and I would pay her back when she got here. Well, she also came with Ski and also Sparkle-iscious from the Burlesque Collection. Seeing her and having this be my surprise made my night! :]

And finally I swaped a MAC pigment for these lovelies. I had only seen MAC's Jade Dragon swatched online, so when I finally had it in my posession, I was amazed at how lovely it is. OMG. Pictures don't do it justice. And $OPI Only Gold For Me is also amazing. I knew I'd love it. Its a friggin glitter, how could I not? I anticipate wearing this layered over China Glaze White on White in the near future.

I leave you with a pick of my lovelies. I don't know how many I have, I just know that when people go into my closet, they don't look at all the clothes or my shoes, they just see polish. lol

I really want polish racks. I think a few of thoes and an online polish shopping spree will be my Christmas preset from my mother this year.

Until next time.
