Hey guys and gals and happy weekend!
It's been quiet around here this week. Seems nail polish dramas and news comes all at once sometimes but I like the peacefulness this week has brought...let's see what's new:
- Have you seen this $250K nail polish?!?! Scrangie's got the scoop on this black diamond infused polish - how hardcore are YOU?
- Kimskie's Nails let me on to the fact that Bundle Monster has created a stamping plate storage album! SWEET! (That Bundle Monster link will take you right to the page to buy it, but sorry, it's Out of Stock for now)
- Another awesome exciting bit of info - Makeup Forever is doing polish now! My favorite brand ever in the world is finally doing it! Thanks to Fashion Polish for the info on the new collection, Black Tango.
- The Color Club Society shows us what to look for in a Nail Salon - very informative!
Now let's check out my hauls that landed in my Melmer this week - no job means no budget so take a look at how much (or how little) these items cost me this week!
 |
| My Ulta Haul. This purchase cost me $6.85 AFTER tax. Had an Ulta Reward for the NOPI Crackle so that was free and then I used my $3.50 OFF $10 purchase. I don't know how it worked out to $6.85 but it did and I'm not complaining! So here we have NOPI Gold Texture, Essence Absolutely Stylish, Essence Trust in Fashion, Essence Luxury Secret and Orly Preamp. |
 |
| How this slipped my radar for so long is a mystery - brown with green glitter?!?! This is Essence Absolutely Stylish. |
 |
| But wait - the glitter is actually a duochrome that shifts from green to orange to pink! |
 |
| Essence Luxury Secret. I love the look of this gorgeous taupe metallic. |
 |
| Orly Preamp - holy shimmies Batman! |
 |
| Here is a side by side of the other Essence Polish - Trust in Fashion next to China Glaze Exotic Encounters. Comparison coming soon! |
 |
| Exotic Encounters. This was a penny on Copious. (Click that link to sign up and get a $10 credit) |
 |
| Then a trip to Walmart produced this find - Loreal Notting Hill Blues. It was the ONLY one left of the new British collection and the only one I wanted so how bout that. $5.27 after tax. My biggest splurge this week. |
 |
| My Julep August Maven Box. FREE with referral points. |
So my total damage for all of that was $12.13
Yay!!!

Awesome haul! I love that first Essence.
ReplyDeleteWow you are a barganista lady! Hehe. I wonder why I haven't ever seen the Essence polishes at Ulta - are they hidden somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe Essence in my Ulta is a trainwreck. Its on an endcap against the side wall and it always is so gross and picked over, usually there are no polishes at all, i was lucky to find these three!
