Konad Haul!

Hi everyone! I took advantage of the last bit of time that the 30% discount could be used since Konad USA decided to be $%#&s and no longer allow Konad vendors to offer discounts. I bought these from OC Nail Art, get your Konad there! I am not saying this because I am getting compensated or something; which I am not, but because Kathleen offers not only really competative prices but has unbeatable customer service! She even wrote a cute little note for me on my invoice. She is so sweet! I always have and always will get my Konad from her. She has a fabulous reputation for a reason!

Now onto the haul itself, I got the m66, m71, m75, and s9 plates, all of which I am super excited to start using! I also got the plastic scraper because it really bothers me how scratched up my other 3 plates are, and I am kinda OCD about that kind of stuff. Would you guys want a comparison between the metal and plastic scrapers?

Movies, Kitty and Mini Haul Randomness!

Hi everyone! This is one of my few and far between random posts, and it is long and pic heavy, so beware!

First I will talk about the movie that just came out this weekend, Alice in Wonderland, because several of you want to know what I thought of it. This is the first movie that I have ever seen in an IMax or in 3D much less on opening weekend! My boyfriend took me to go see it, and he got us really great seats. Overall I really liked the movie! I loved the first 3/4 of it, but I found the last 1/4 to be kind of generic and predictable. Not the best movie ever, but I still really enjoyed it. If I could walk around like Anne Hathaway's character all the time I totally would! And Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat was a big win in my book!

Now lately it seems like all of the nail bloggers have been posting pictures of their kitties. Now since I live away from home, I can't take a picture of my kitty for a few more weeks until I go home for Spring Break. So instead I bring you pictures of my boyfriend's kitty Autumn! Isn't she cute?!?

Look who's curled up in the tree!

What's up there kitty?

Why are you hiding behind the computer monitor silly?

Doesn't she look comfy in my arms?

She sleeps a lot lol!

And finally, my boyfriend and I stopped by Rite-Aid, and look what I found! More Nailene pens! Now I have one of every color. I plan on doing another review covering all of them, like a take 2 of the review. Yep, I like these so much that I went and bought some myself! I got Pearl Pink and Black on super clearance, I think I picked them up for a little over a dollar each on super clearance, but to be honest I would have gotten them whether they were on sale or not. I picked up extras of these too to add to the next giveaway pile ;) Hope you enjoyed the random post, I know that a lot of you like these!

VNS Haul!

I am so excited! So this is my first time buying nail polish online; usually I need to see the polish in person before I will buy it. Lately there have been tons and tons of swatches of China Glaze's OMG collection, which came and went months before I got into nail polish. I really wanted some of these colors, so I swallowed my pride and bought some of them online. I also picked up a couple of other polishes to make the shipping worth it. I picked up OPI Mad As A Hatter (I haven't been able to find this anywhere, it has been sold out in my area!), China Glaze OMG, China Glaze DV8, China Glaze QT and China Glaze Recycle. I can't wait until the sun comes out so that I can swatch these awesome holos for you all. Sorry, I was just very excited and I thought that I would share. :)

Dollar Tree Haul and More!

Hi everyone! I twittered last night about my huge cheap haul and now I want to share it with you. I am a big bargain hunter, I love shopping for a good deal. In fact I got all of this polish for about $20! The first stop I made was a Dollar Tree in a part of town that I rarely visit.

If you have followed this blog for awhile then you know I LOVE my Art Decos for nail art. I found tons at the Dollar Tree and I bought one of every color that I did not already own. I also bought an old-school Maybelline, they had several but this color really caught my eye! From left to right they are Art Deco Red Glitter, Art Deco Baby Pink, Art Deco Bright Orange, Art Deco Green Glitter, Art Deco Bright Green, Art Deco Intense Pink, and Maybelline Two-Timer. The next stops I made were TJMaxx and Walgreens.

I found Sinful Colors Green Ocean at Walgreens and at TJMaxx I found 4 Essie minis and Goldie polishes! The Essies are (from left to right) Essie Ruby Slippers, Essie Rose Bowl, Essie Fearless, and Essie Wrapped in Rubies. They are so pretty! The Goldies don't have names, but there was this neutral set and a pink set available as well. I hope you enjoyed my haul! Tomorrow I will post my swatch of Green Ocean's awesome glitter/flakie goodness!

Mini China Glaze Haul

Hi everyone! I was a bad girl and went to Sally's; but I picked up some awesome China Glazes! I got Light As Air and Flyin' High from the Up Up and Away collection and I picked up 5 Golden Rings from the clearance section. Just thought I would share! :D

Be sure to go and vote in the Anti-Valentine's Day contest, today is the last day! Go and vote for your favorite (I hope it's me!!!) here!

Haul Goodies! Woot Woot!

These are the goodies that I have been collecting over the month of January! From left to right they are: Art Deco Red, ELF Pearl, ELF Royal Purple, ELF Dark Navy, Sinful Colors I Miss You, OPI Absolutely Alice, OPI Glove You So Much!, Essie Cute as a Button, Essie Forget Me Nots, and Essie Castaway. I got the Essies for a steal, all three together were $4! And Glove You So Much! was on clearance as well, so this haul didn't cost me too much. Then after I took that picture and scheduled this post I went to Sallys and Walgreens...

I found 3 bottles of China Glaze Matte Magic on clearance for .99 cents each, and I got a China Glaze Flying Dragon, Sally Hansen Opulent Cloud and a Seche Vite Topcoat. Flying Dragon was free with the Seche Vite, awesome! I have been wanting to try Seche Vite for awhile, but I refuse to use it until I use up my other two topcoats! I will be strong! I have it hiding in a shoebox so that I am not tempted. I also got a Sally's Card, my Sally's finally got some more! They had been out of cards for awhile and got shipped some a few weeks ago. I am going to save SO much money!

Awesome Fun Good Times With KellieGonzo!

Hello everyone! On Saturday I met up with KellieGonzo from Also Known As and Mickelle (who will be starting her own blog soon) and we went polish shopping! It was so much fun! No one I know outside of blogging are into nail polish, so it was really nice to hang out with someone who is as obsessed as I am! We went to a lot of stores; Ulta (where we met up), Nordstrom Rack, Claire's, Icing, Trade Secret, some other store that looked exactly like Trade Secret, Dillards, and Forever 21. First we'll do the goodies and then the fun pictures. Hold on, this is going to be a long post!

Firstly, Kellie got me a prezzy, which was SO sweet of her! I feel really bad because I didn't bring her a present, but she is totally getting a big one next time. Thanks again so much Kellie!!!

What's in the bag with the cute poodle on it?

Nu Skin Stuff! I cannot wait to try this stuff out! I got an Epoch Baobab Body Butter, Nu Skin Liquid Body Bar, Nu Skin Liquid Body Lufra, Nu Skin Tru Face Revealing Gel, a Travel Bottle for hand lotion, and a very cute zebra bag to put it all in! Thank you so much Kellie!

Next is my nail polish haul from Ulta, I picked up Parlez-Vous OPI?, Dulce de Leche, and I got Ginger Bells on clearance!

Now as some of you may know, I am an Escada Summer Fragrance junkie. I looked for the new one, Marine Groove, at Ulta but they didn't have it yet :( Luckily two doors down at Nordstrom Rack they had Ocean Lounge for cheap, I only buy Escada perfume there lol. It smells SO good!!! Not that I needed more Escada perfume....

*Shifty Eyes* Anyways, lastly I bought two cocktail rings, the top one is from Forever 21 and the bottom one is from Icing.

Kellie and I also had a swap (hooray for no shipping costs!) and here is what I recieved:

I got Tip Toe in Gold Rush, Zoya Luna, Zoya Lily, CHI Hot Ring Illusion Around Saturn, and Sally Hansen HD in Three D. Aren't they purty? Now for the fun pictures!

Mickelle looking at earrings at Icing!

Yes, that is a hand muff on a chain. Isn't it hot? (sorry about the scary bangs, my hair did not want to behave! I look really strange in this picture lol!)

As Mickelle said; I would totally switch teams for that.

Kellie and I at Icing!

Kellie and I outside before I head home!

Me, Kellie, and Mickelle at the end of the day!

It was such a blast! I hope that we can do it again soon! :) Be sure to check out Kellie's post!!!! Her haul was bomb!

Last Haul of the Year!

Hi everyone! I finally got all of my lemmings for the rest of the year, so I hope to not buy anymore nail polish until at least January 1st 2010! I shall no longer be tempted! I got OPI Merry Midnight, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle, Hard Candy Hot Pants, Hard Candy Sweet P, Essie Mint Candy Apple, Essie Forever Young, Art Deco White and Art Deco Black. I have already reviewed Merry Midnight and Mint Candy Apple, but the rest of the reviews are coming up in the future! I think that I picked out some great stuff!

Na Na Na Nail Haul!

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my nail haul from the past few weeks, and I am on a no-buy until November, at which time I am going to go buy Essie Mint Candy Apple when it comes out!

Now onto the polishes, from left to right they are OPI Lincoln Park After Dark, China Glaze Lubu Heels, China Glaze Metallic Muse (from the new Khrome collection), and the Wet 'n Wild Craze polishes in Shield and Nocturnal. I also bought OPI You Rock-apulco Red while on my Fall Break, so that polish is at home. I am going to be busy swatching, but you won't see swatches until next month (don't worry, it isn't far!) because of a special segment that I will be doing next week. I think y'all will love it!

My Konad Haul and More!

Yes, I finally gave in and went to OC Nail Art and bought myself some plates and the stamper and scraper! I got the scraper/stamper set, and the plates M20, M57, and M60. OC Nail Art is a great place to get your Konad, I got my package within about 3 days well packed and pristine!

Konad is a lot harder to use than I thought! I had a lot of trouble with it at first but I am much better at it now. I don't own any actual Konad polishes, but off of Sasse 'nad Stamping Stampede's list I own several polishes that can be used and they work great!

I have hauled even more to boot! My wallet is sitting in my purse crying. Thankfully this haul didn't cost too much! I got 2 Art Deco Polishes in Silver and Blue Glitter. I also got China Glaze Fairy Dust and Ruby Pumps (Lubu Heels is next on the list!) and OPI Suede Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees. I also went to Rite-Aid and got a Profile 4-sided buffer, Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover, a cuticle trimmer, and some orange sticks.

My Wallet Hates Me...

Well I WAS on a no-buy.....but then my nail broke so I needed some Q-tica, and that took me to Ulta, and it is so hard to resist in Ulta! At Ulta I got Qtica and OPI Significant Other Color. Then I HAD to go to Sally's because it is right next to my boyfriend's house, and I got the double-sided nail art brush and China Glaze For Audrey. Then I had to buy the prizes for the giveaway so I went to my grocery/drugstore. I picked up Sinful Colors UFO and my own bottle of Canary Yellow. Then I saw that they now carry the entire Art Deco line, so I got the Gold and Silver Glitters!
I will also have another haul sometime soon, it has to come in the mail first! It will probably be posted the day after I get it. Thank goodness I have a job now!

Yay For Hauling!

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my nail haul from the past couple of weeks. I got lots and I am already in the process of swatching! I got 2 Sinful Colors glitters; Pearl Harbor and Hottie, the Essie Matte About You Topcoat (last one in the store!), OPI Brights Power, Green-wich Village, Bogota Blackberry, and Russian Navy. I can't wait to create new fun looks with the glitters and matte top coat! Reviews will be up later in the week for most of these!

In My Defense Some of It Was On Sale!

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing my Trade Secret OPI Haul! Yeah, I got a lot; but some of these were 30% off! I got OPI DS Top Coat (packaged with the other DS), Kreme de la Kremlin, Fuchsia Fling (Trade Secret Exclusive), DS Reflection, Sea? I Told You!, My Private Jet, and Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow. Swatches and reviews will be up in the coming weeks. The DS was a super good deal, I got it for the price of a regular OPI (they normally retail at $12.50) with the top coat. I don't know if this is a different one than the regular OPI top coat, I think from looking at it that it is. It does have a pretty handle though!

OPI Haul!

Yay hauls! This weekend I got a lot of nail polish. I got 2 on Friday while I was at the mall; and the other 4 were because my amazing boyfriend was willing to go to Ulta for me and pick them up! He is such a sweetie! The 6 polishes that I got this weekend are the OPI Top Coat, Alpine Snow, Tutti Frutti Tonga, Melon of Troy, You Don't Know Jacques, and Black Onyx. Full reviews for these will go up soon, but give me some time as I like to wear each one for awhile and see how it wears and stays.

Mini Nail Haul

I went to my local JCPenney Salon and purchased these two OPI nail polishes; Done Out in Deco and Big Apple Red. So far I really like both of these and reviews and swatches will be posted within the next couple of days. These are my first two actual polishes from OPI and I really like them! I plan on buying more when I travel to a different state on August 1st and go to an Ulta, so a bigger nail haul is in the near future!

Nail Haul!

Yesterday I went shopping and got a few nail things. If I am going to start taking good care of my nails, I am going to need the right equipment, right? I bought OPI Nail Envy Original, a Sephora Glass Nail File, a cheap buffer board from the grocery store, and a Loew-Cornell 10/0 7670 angled brush in case I want to try nail art; I was by Micheal's anyways.

Yesterday was the first time that I have gone into my local Sephora, shocking I know! We only recently got one and I was giving it time to stock up on stuff. I don't like that Sephora. The people working there were ok, but I didn't get the nail buffer that I wanted and I was mad. It's one thing to not have it in stock (in either size mind you), but when you have 10 used testers out for it is upsetting. So in my revenge I went to the grocery store and bought a 79 cent one, and I must say that it works pretty well so far! I will do reviews on each individual product after I have used them for awhile.
