july haul

Whoops. Whooooooops. Triple whoops.
I have not been good in July. I'm working a lot and I'm making a lot of money. So I spend a lot of money.

Let's see what I got this month...
(Also HOLY CRAP it is the last day of July already?!)

I ordered some things from Apothica with my sponsorship funds:
Deborah Lippmann - On The Beach
Deborah Lippmann - Sweet Dreams
Deborah Lippmann - Bad Romance
Deborah Lippmann - Between The Sheets

As usual I picked up a lot of random OPI's along the way, mostly on sale for around $2:
OPI - Nothin Mousie Bout It
OPI - A Dozen Rosas
OPI - Mauving to Manitoba
OPI - Steady As She Rose
OPI - Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow Suede
OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Matte

I got two wishlist polishes from a great lady named Gina:

Picked up some colors from the China Glaze On Safari Collection:

I actually bought the Julep box this month because I wanted the Canada polish:

Found a new polish line at a drug store with interesting glitters:

As you saw yesterday, I got some piCture pOlishes for review:

I crossed another polish off my wishlist thanks to my friend Marcy:

My new friend Jini sent me some great polishes:
Nails Inc. - Sweets Way
Nails Inc. - Pudding Lane
Nails Inc. - Topping Lane
China Glaze - Smoke and Ashes

And I've got one thing that doesn't belong in a category from a random drugstore sale:
China Glaze - Glittering Garland

To re-use a joke from yesterday... Holy Pshiiit.
I'm not even going to count them because that would just be a joke. A painful joke.

If it helps, I'm in the middle of purging, and I am calling August a low-buy month.
Yikes.

  3. completely jealous. I haven't bought a polish since July 5th. It's totally killing me, I might have to reward myself with a few once my exams are done! :D

  4. Wowza! That's a lot of polish! I'm doing my monthly haul tomorrow. I haven't added up the total yet... ouch!

  5. I thought I had been bad in July! Truth be told, I'm terrified of doing posts like this. Seeing it all detailed like that makes it seem so much worse when we know, it's just a few bottles, right? RIGHT?!

    I am calling August a NO BUY month. The sad thing is, I got so many pretty nail polishes and I'm not even wearing any at the moment because I'm doing a treatment trying to get my nails to stop peeling.

    Also, I die for Illamasqua Raindrops. So jealous.

  7. Wowzers! What a haul. The Nails Inc sprinkles are gorgeous. If it makes you feel any better I am on a "ban" and have managed to still accidentally buy a ridiculous amount of polish this month too. ALL THE EXCITING NEW STUFF AND SALES happen when I'm on a ban, so I have justified it. Kind of.

  11. Wow what a haul! Seeing it all written down sounds scary but I'm sure it was spread through the month! Where do you get your OPI for $2?

  12. haha this is awesome. I was just now talking to my sister about how good we've been with not buying much polish over the last couple months but now we want EVERYTHING. I have a feeling my August is going to look a lot like this.
