Despite my lack of funds I broke down and made a trip to the beauty suppliers today to treat myself to a little early birthday present, or presents. It was a fairly successful haul and only cost me about 65 dollars.
Essie polishes were having a special: buy 2 and get a cuticle pen free. Confession time. I actually hate Essie polish - but I love their colours. In an attempt to try and change my mind on the subject I bought 2 bottles of a couple of colours that caught my eye. The first is Van D'go and the second is Lilacism. They are beautiful pastel colours perfect for summer. That's not going to stop me from wearing them all fall long though.
The cuticle pen that I got for free is new to me. It promises to moisturize and soften the cuticles. First thing when I got home (after taking all these picture of course) I tried it out and was pretty impressed. It is easy to apply and my cuticles were easy to push back after without even soaking them. I'm interested to see how it does!
I love these three O.P.I. colours. The first, In The Cable Carpool Lane, is almost the exact same as Essie's Bahama Mama, which is very popular for fall. It's a beautiful burgundy shade and I knew my Mom would be a fan of it so I was happy to add it to the cart.
I have been looking for a new light pink colour for a while and I am eager to try out the second colour pictured above, Mod About You. I've seen a few bloggers wearing it online and I love it every time.
The last, Don't Pretzel My Buttons, is my new nude colour. I've been looking for the perfect nude for a while and I'm hoping this is the one.
These 2 China Glaze polishes were a bit of an impulse buy because they were on sale for only $2.99 each! They are nice jewel tones for fall and I am welcoming them into my polish rack happily. The first is Holly-Day and the second is Calypso Blue.
These buffing blocks came in a pack of 50. For the cost I couldn't say no. They are perfect for disposing after each use, especially when you are doing other peoples nails.
Finally! Everyone raves about this top coat and I have yet to try it. Well, here it is! Sorry to my Orly Polishield top coat. I'll have to put it on the back burner for a bit while I try this one out.
I find it easy to grow my nails out, but they bend much too easy, which allows my polish to crack and eventually chip away. Manicures don't tend to last long on me. So I'm going to give Nail Envy a shot!
That's it for my haul today. My birthday is tomorrow and my Mom also got me a few things from the store that I am excited to try out too. It should be a fun week of nails for me!
