No buy...yeah, right!

I was supposed to spend the summer on a "no buy", I thought it would be easy since I was going to my parents house and there are ALMOST no places where I could buy nail polishes around here...but I failed!

I figured this would be my last buy before restricting myself on buying polishes, until october...

A couple of weeks after, I went with a friend to a huge chinese store, as she wanted to buy some cheap stuff for her new house, and what I found there left me stunned...rows and rows filled with all kinds of nail polish that I could never get a hold of in my city! She was buying some for herself and I just couldn't leave empty handed, could I? So I bought 3 magnetic nail polishes for 1,50€ each and 3 glitters for 1€ each.

A couple of days later, Kiko releases a new LE collection...HOLOS!! So I asked Ana, from O Meu Maior Vicio to get me the gold/taupe one and the blue/green/whatever one. I sold the blue/green/whatever one as soon as I got it, because it was just like Up Colors Verde 360º (that I had on my nails the day I got the Kiko's package), but kept the other one and fell in love with it. Around the same time, I went with my boyfriend to another chinese store, here near my parent's house and bought a gold nail polish for stamping, and several nail art polishes for stamping too (all for 1€ each).

I shared some of my buys with Cristina, from The Clockwise Nail Polish, and she asked me if I could get her the black glitter like mine, and so I did...And the chinese store had lots of new polishes and I don't even know how I didn't buy more! xD My boyfriend was with me and I kept repeating "Please get me out of here before I buy everyone of these!". He didn't pay much attention to my pleas and I ended up leaving with 4 new polishes for myself and 1 for Cristina... -.-' (again, 1€ each]

And finally...I was searching for Revlon Royal Cloak for a while now, but whenever I found it online, shipping was always too expensive for my liking, so when I saw that Claudia, from Holographic Hussy, had 1 up for sale, I grabbed it, MINE! It just got here today...Oh, and on my last trip to the chinese store, I picked up another goodie from a portuguese brand...

I think I might have a problem...but then again, it's not like I have too much nail polish, I only have 179 in my stash, that's not too much, right? RIGHT?? So why should I restrict myself from buying what I like and makes me happy? I don't get it...

Well, enough with the "no buy" thing, it clearly doesn't work for me... 

Nail Mail x2 on the same day!

Yesterday I didn't go to work, as I was feeling really crappy and sick, and around 9am someone rang my doorbell. I wasn't expecting anyone or any packages anytime soon, so I was really surprised when I saw it was the mail man with a package for me. It was my r/redditlaqueristas spring swap!! It arrived here so fast! Was only expecting it to get here next week.

My swap partner, Kayobi, is awesome! She sent me all this:

 From left to right:

• Essence #55 Let's Get Lost
• Essence #87 Passion for Fashion
• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails #620 Limestone
• Revlon #571 Posh
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #409 Good to Grape
• Revlon Colorstay #170 Coastal Surf
• O.P.I Fly

Kayobi, you crazy girl! I bet you surpassed the limit we had, and I can never thank you enough for this, I loved every single colour you picked for me, and this came on a day when I really needed something to cheer me up. I just hope you'll like what I sent you as much as I loved all this. Thank you, so much!

But that's not all!! xD Just when I finished unwrapping all my new babies, my doorbell rang again. o_O More mail? Could it be? Oh yes it was!! Another package for me, this time from Germany. :P It was my first order of Konad plates! I ordered 5 plates from amazon.de at 2.30€ each. It was the cheapest I could find, and I really want to try some stamping.

Here's what I ordered:

 

Aren't they all so cute? *-* Do you guys like stamping? I'm a total noob at it, but hopefuly I'll make it. Any tips? Share your favourite plate here!

Expocosmética 2012

Yesterday I went to the Expocosmética 2012 and it was crazy in there! D: So many different brands of nail polish, hair stuff and everything related to beauty. It was awesome and I had a really nice time hunting for nail polishes while still trying to not blow my budget! xD I think I did ok, only spent 20€ and brought home with me all this:

• a new nail file;
• Peggy Sage nail stickers;
• 3 Orly mini - Lucky Duck, Androgynie and Terracotta;
• Coral Prosilk #156;
• 2 Ludurana flakies - Trovão and Relâmpago;
• Golden Rose Holografic #141
• Essence #78 Blue Addicted (famous DL Across the Universe Dupe)
• 3 tiny pots with micro beads so I can try a caviar mani sometime. 

Mini Haul Time!

I'm running behind on my posts! Already have 2 new manis to post but my boyfriend spent this past week here with me and I didn't feel like posting while he was here...

This post is just to show you girls the latest additions to my collection. All of these were bought throughout the course of last week, during my daily walks with the boyfriend. I was constantly asking to stop at shops that sell nail polish, he was getting kind of bored with it. xD

Here are my new babies:

• Kiss stripers - These were a bit too expensive for me, almost 17€ if I remember correctly, but they came with some really cute stencils and since I suck at nail art, I just had to have them!
• Gosh Matt Effect Top Coat & Gosh Forest Floor - I've heard so much about Gosh that I had to buy some and see for myself if they're any good. These were 6.99€ each...Again, expensive...-.-'
• Catrice Dirty Berry - Such a pretty purple/lavender, slightly holographic. I think this one was 2,49€...or was it 2,99€? Not sure at all now, but it doesn't really matter, couldn't leave it behind!
• Miyo Grape - Why is it called grape?? It has nothing to do with grapes! I don't get it...But hey, it was cheap! 1,49€, that's more like it!    

And that's it for now. I think I need to stop buying nail polishes...
