Last week's haul :)

It's been a while since I did a haul post, as I haven't had a big haul for a while now, I tend to just pick bits up here and there instead of a big splurge. But I unexpectedly had to go into town last Thursday so took advantage of it and picked up a few bits :)

Here's (almost) everything I got. I got a few hair things and didn't include those, or the boring essential things like cotton wool!

L-R: Glass nail files, W7 Red Shatter, Rimmel 60 Second 850 Hard Edged
MUA Nail Polish Shade 1, MUA Pro Crackle Jail Break, Barry M Spring Green, Barry M Blue Moon, Wet N Wild French White, Citu Chick Sparkly Nails in pink and black
Nailene Ultra Tabs, Nailene Nail Studio Classic Short, Acetone-free polish remover pads (to use with falsies), Funky Union Jack Falsies, Perfect 10 Nail Art stickers
MUA Pro Heaven and Earth Palette

City Chick Sparkly Nails in pink and black (Polish with little pots of glitter on top, GOSH have released nail glitter pots, so this must be the in thing)
W7 Earthquake Red (x2) Rimmel 60 Seconds 850 Hard Edged (x2)
MUA Shade 1 (Navy glitter in a black base), MUA Pro Crackle Jail Break, Barry M Spring Green, Barry M Blue Moon, Wet n Wild French White (going to try stamping with this)

Nailene Ultra Tabs and Nail Studio Classic Short nails

MUA Pro Heaven and Earth Palette

There are two of the W7, Rimmel and Glass Nail Files because the spares will go into my giveaway :)

Has anyone tried the Nailene tabs yet? I am intrigued by them because they promise guaranteed 5 day wear without damaging your natural nails. I like wearing falsies sometimes, for a special occasion or a night out, but I hate the thought of damaging my natural nail with glue, so if these work they'll be perfect. I'm thinking of giving my nails a break from polish to see if this helps my peeling problem, so I'll try them then. Would you be interested in a review?

That's all for now, I'm going shopping tomorrow (payday whoop) so will pick up a few more bits for the giveaway then I'm sure. I'm excited! It wont be huge but I hope you'll like it.

Lots of posts planned for the next few days, at least 2 manicures to show you, plus a review of my current polish remover which, if you pardon my crudeness, is the mutt's nuts.

Which polish from the haul would you like to see?

Haul time

Bonjour my lovlies

Today I have a haul post for you. I haven't done one for about three weeks, so these are from several shopping trips combined, although I've separated the things I got today :)


Top L-R: Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, Strawberry Ice Cream, Cobalt, Collection 2000 5 day Wear French White and Sparkle Top Coat, Nails Inc Electric Teal and Candy Orange, George at Asda Pink Glitz and Dazzle
Bottom: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth, Barry M Nail Effects 315 and 314, W7 Earthquake White (Crackle) and Gold Dazzle, O.P.I Wing It! and Parlez-Vous O.P.I?, China Glaze Peace on Earth, G at Matalan Purple Plum, and some decals from Ebeast underneath.
Today's haul: Pink slim baskets from Poundland 3 for 99p or something, Acrylic paints for when I eventually get around to trying freehand painting also Poundland, Accessorize Pink Spice (wearing now, amazeballs) £4 Superdrug, 2true Fast Dry Colour Quick shade 4 and 9, Revlon Gold Get 'Em £2 odd in Savers, Beauty UK Frozen Kingdom (at last, hurrah!) £1.99 Superdrug, 2true Glossywear Shade 45, the 3 2true ones are usually £1.99 but 3 for £5 in Superdrug.

And some non-nail related gumf if you're interested...
Hair things: Slide £1, Flower £2, Band £2.50 all Primarni, Bows (on little kirby grips) £1.50 Superdrug, Bracelets £2.50 Primarni.
Eyelashes £1.99 Savers, Natural Collection Eye pallets Mink/Sable and Blackcurrent/Violet £1.99 Boots, Collection 2000 Crystal Gloss Lipstick Latte Crystal £2.49 Boots*, Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt-Tip Eye Liner Black £2.99 (I think) Superdrug, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara £2-odd Savers
*Boots have a 3 for 2 offer across all their make-up, so effectively one of the eye pallets was free.

So yeah, I spent waaaay too much money today. Ooops.

I don't usually buy the hair pretties and things, but I'm going to a very important wedding in a few weeks time and I have no idea what to do with my hair, so I got a few things that match my outfit so I can have a play around. And the bows I just liked and they were half price...

But, now I really need to go on a no-spend, at least until the end of the month. We're travelling away to the wedding and we need to save money for that, plus I've already filled up two of the little pink baskets with polishes I've not even worn yet, so along with swatching and a possible spreadsheet (can I? Does it make me a nerd? I do love a good spreadsheet) that should keep me busy. I started this with 27(?) polishes less than 2 months ago, and now I have at least 85, probably closer to 100... So unless I stumble upon one of my major lemmings (basically anything holo lol) my purse is staying shut... Wish me luck...
