Wow! I haven't posted here in a very long time! I tried to post a blog five different times, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Anyway, I have bought quite a few bottles of nail polish during the summer and fall, but I didn't take any pictures of the bottles and I'm currently back at my parent's house for winter break so I don't have them with me. However, I will blog about them individually later.
Last weekend I went to Sephora with my boyfriend to use their $15 off any $50 purchase coupon and bought Nails Inc Magnetic Trio, and Nails Inc Kensington Top Coat, and Nails Inc Kensington Base Coat. I spent a good 20 minutes in the store debating if I should buy the top coat and base coat or the Nails Inc Glitterati collection. Ultimately, I let my boyfriend decide. His reasoning for getting the base coat and top coat over the glitters was since I don't have my base coat with me and I recently ran out of my favorite top coat (Essie Good to Go) I should buy the pair. Honestly, I don't regret my purchase one bit. I really did need the top coat and base coat because wearing nail polish without the base coat miffs me. I worry about my nails being stained all the time. Also, I ran out of Essie Good to Go while at school and bought another Essie top coat to replace it. Prior to that time, I've only tried Essie Good to Go and Essie 3-way Glaze, both polishes I loved and had no problems with. Jumping to the conclusion that all Essie top coats were good, I bought Essie No Chips Ahead... and I hated it! But I'm getting off topic... (I'll do a review on it later). Anyway, lets get back on topic! The magnetic trio is great! I already plan on doing a in-depth review later on the trio and base & top coat. The trio comes with three colors, White Hall (emerald green), Trafagular Square (silver), and House of Parliament (deep purple). However, only Trafagular Square comes with the magnetic cap, so if you wanted to buy the trio and break up the polishes to give away as gifts... you can't. But, I have no intention of giving away my trio so I don't care about that. Regular price for the trio was $30 while the top coat and base coat were $10 each. With the coupon the price of the trio was $21 and $7 each for the top coat/base coat.
A few days after my Sephora purchase I went to Claires with my boyfriend to look at the mood polishes. The polishes were being sold buy one get one 50% off. The Hyper/Relaxed polish caught my eye so I wound up purchasing that one and the cashier girl told me the polishes were buy one get one 50% off so I also bought Daring/Ditzy. Hyper/Relaxed (purple/blue) and Daring/Ditzy (peach pink/ light pink).
Thursday night I was bored, so as always I "window-shopped" online. I went to ulta.com and noticed China Glaze and Orly polishes are buy 2 get 1 free. Naturally, I jumped on the deal. My boyfriend and I went to Tanforan shopping mall for the first time together. I saw there was a Best Buy across the street from the mall and knew I wanted to get my boyfriend's father's Christmas gift first. While I was on my way across the street I saw there was a Sally's Beauty Supply next door. I went into Sally's for the first time before going into Ulta to see what deals they had. Sally's sold CG polishes 2 for $10. I told my bf that if I couldn't find the polishes I want from Ulta, we'd come back. I went off to Ulta and bought Traffic Jam, Westside Warrior, and Flying High. I also went across the street to Sally's Beauty Supply and bought Dorothy Who? and For Audrey.
Expect some quick (and some not so quick) nail polish reviews with swatches later :)
