Nail Mail and July's Haul (So far)

So this month when pay day hit, I paid rent, bills, and of course hit the stores to find some new polish for inspiration. I recently got the stuff I ordered online so I figured I'd do a haul post. If you noticed I didn't do a June haul post because we dropped over $400 on a repair for the van on our Fort Bragg trip. Sucked big time. No spending money, not much left for polish buying either. So I kind of made up for it this month. LOL!

Each of the eight color has a different magnetic lid

MASH and Bundle Monster 2012 plates

So I guess I really only have one question for you...which one would you like to see first? LOL! ;)
I also realized tonight that I have passed 1000 followers recently...yep, you know what that means! Keep an eye out for a giveaway soon and thank you all for reading!!!

May Haul

Since I am basically broke until the beginning of next month anyway (at least as far as polish buying goes), I figure it's safe to post my haul for this month. I am getting ready to sit down and do my nails and I have decided to do a set of gel nails because I am not feeling my nubbins at the moment AND this is kind of the last chance for longer nails this summer. Coding doesn't work as well with long nails. =(

So here's what I added to my collection this month!

Unnamed Color Zone - Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, Neon Green

 The pink and yellow of these Color Zone polishes have this white shimmer to them, I was kind of bummed the green didn't. Scored these three for $4.99 at TJ Maxx.

 I have been wanting Bubbly Bombshell, Sweet Peacock, and Fowl Play for so long. I was getting ready to order them online, happened into my local Sally Beauty and BAM! there they were.

Orly Flash Glam FX Collection

Same day in Sally Beauty the lovely cashier was telling me I had to be there on June 1st when they put out the new Orly Flash Glam FX Collection. I told her I was so bummed but I'd be on vacay and then asked if she thought they'd still be here when I got back. Her answer, "No way." Then she got permission from the owner to sell them to me early! Woo hoo! So far I think Spazmatic is my fav!

Cutie Girl - Ocean Blue, Sweet Lilac, Green Apple

 These and the LA Colors one from below were Dollar Store grabs. I figured what the heck, they're a buck!

Unnamed Sally Girl mini (Emerald Green), BS Ridge Filler Base Coat, L.A. Colors Live

Grabbed these up at Ross for $3.99 each. I have never used a nail whitener. I figured I review these after my vacation.

Color Club Neons

These are Color Club neons are Almost Famous, Wham! Pow!, Poptastic, Warhol, Pucci-licious, Twiggie, and I think, Mrs. Robinson. All but Mrs. Robinson are back-up bottles for me, but for $7.99 I figure it's like I ordered Mrs. Robinson and got the rest free. ;)

 

Is that bottle leaning?

 I am curious to see if I can stamp with the blue and purple metallics....hmmmm.

That's it for now, off to do my nails and I'll be back! Once again, don't forget to enter my current giveaway! Ends on 5/31! Much Love, The Dragon Lady

Anyone still here?

Hello? Remember me? I didn't fall of the edge of world or die in some freak nail polish bottle avalanche. I finished up my finals week yesterday and can't wait to do my nails. I am pretty sure I got another round of A's. I have maintained a perfect 4.0 since starting college and I work really hard to keep it there. So very excited to be leaving for Fort Bragg with my hubby and our friends from the Horticulture Club at my college. We busted our tushies for the last 2 semesters with the club so we get a four day paid vacay to the coast. We rented 2 huge houses on the beach. Works for me! So basically, I am going to pack and try and get some manis and swatches prepped for auto-posting while I am gone.

I am happy to be back blogging and can't wait to show all the polish I have been hording since my last real polish post! So let's kick this off with a haul post!

If you remember, I was on a No-Buy for the month of April...let's see how well that went. Shall we?

Snagged the other Boho set for $5.49 at Ross

Kleancolor minis

Barielle Growth Activator & Speed Dry Manicure Extender - $6 for both at Ross

China Glaze - Agro, Harvest Moon, Spontaneous

So, seven of these my mother bought for me other than that No-Buy April = Big Fat Fail! It's even sadder when you find out I bought all these on the last day of the month. I blame Sally Beauty and that buy 2 Get 1 free Deal they were having (and of course my 15% off coupon on top of that)! LOL!!! I have a smaller May haul that I'll try and show you tomorrow. Hopefully a mani too! Oh and don't forget to enter my current giveaway if you haven't already! It ends in 5 days!
