Im Back with hauls and swaps!

I'm back sorry for the abandonment of my blog but my summers are super busy from my 50 hours a week at work and  then trying to fit a life into that kind of schedule so it doesn't leave much time for blogging. I starting to manage my time a little better and I will hopefully have 3 post a week well at least that is my goals. So for today I'm going to show you all the swaps and haul Ive done since I blogged last.

Swaps:
A whole lot of Essence polishes/supplies and some Catrice polishes Thanks to Tammy from Gettin' Girlie! This has been my biggest swap ever!


This lovely package came from the wonderful Rebecca from Rebecca likes nails we had done a swap a while back and she loved the package so much that she felt she had to get me back lol..

This swap (minus the nail envy) was done with a lovely lady on MUA, I finally got my hands on some Golden Rose scale effects and some more Essence twins.

This swap was with Kesha from Nail Polish Obsession and we had arranged this swap a while ago and when it arrived I had already received Tammy's Swap which included a majority of theses polishes. I wanted the Essence twin so bad that now I have 2 or 3 of them.

I did one more swap with the lovely Sara from  Sara ♥'s Pretty Little Things which was awesome I now have a bunch f UK polishes!


Hauls

Gaby from Pretty Edgy Nail  found some OPI pink me I'm good in her near by CVS so I sent her the money to buy me 2 and she sent me some surprises! Thanks Gaby don't you just love her hand writing!


Dollar tree and Sallys Haul.
Got some LA Colors after seeing a post from Rebecca about some being Jelly.
Then stopped in at Sally's and they had the new Orly (Happy go lucky) and China Glaze (Molten Metals)collections and I got 2 of each and received a free top coat. I stumbled upon some remover cloths that are pre soaked in remover and are made of felt!! Ive already gotten back to get more!


Barrielle was having another sale so I snatch up 2 more from their new collection Do onto others and Buda-ful. I also purchased some Spectraflair on ebay which I still haven't used lol..


I finally cracked and got the 3D acrylic mold kit that Ive wanted to get as well as a Nail drill and some water decal from Born Pretty Store.

Stop in at Sephora and could help myself and picked up Sephora by OPI Spark-tacular, retractable nail file and Tokidoki rollerball fragrance.


These are a product of 2 Dusty hunters on a Facebook group I'm in called Face and Friends
The first 4 are from Chelsea from Pretty & Polished and the last one is from Traci from The Traceface philes.

This past 2 month Ive gotten alot of first. My hubby bought me my first Chanel polish! and I bought my first BB couture polish. Finally got some Seche vite restore and what I'm most excited about is OPI pair'em and scare'em duo I'm ready for Halloween!

I tried going dusty hunting and found some goodies OPI rent, Blue moon lagoon and Whats dune?
then found the Miss universe collection so I got crown me already and some China glazes.

Some new Sally Hansen Xtreme wears

Some OPI's Absolutely Alice and I lily love you

I saved the best and most excited one for last!!! as some of you know the wonderful Lynnderella has finally decided to sell her beautiful creations. So when I seen them I knew I must have some no matter the price I sent in my order and got a reply that they were out of stock. I was very sad! then some weeks later I got an email from her saying that they came back in stock and if I still wanted them I of course said YES!!! and sent her the money right way! There had been a problem with my order but the Wonderful Lynnderella made it all better and sent me the complete set. Thank you sooooo much Lynnderella I greatly appreciate it and all your hard work to make these beauties! 

(New Favorite glitters!) Currently stalking her blog to order more and her Halloween collection!

That is all I have for now still awaiting on another swap with my new Polish Friend Jen from The Exotic Lacquer which will be here soon since we live in the same state lol.. I should get back to Regular posting soon since summer is almost over. I know I didn't give the names to all the polishes because it was just too much to name but please feel free to ask about a specific polish. Be back soon!

Haul + swap

This past week I got a whole bunch of nail mail! After many complaints and argument with the Post office they finally got things right and my packages came. I think everything I got this week I ordered online because I haven't had time to go to Ulta or any other store. First up is all the Klean Colors I had on my wishlist. One of the lovely ladies in a Nail polish group I'm in on facebook posted a link to a website that sell Klean colors for $1.75 so I ran to the computer and got to ordering. I ended up getting 11 polishes.

 But I found a Nail salon that was selling polishes too and I found many HTF polishes for regular price!! That salon is my new go to place  mostly because they order new polishes every 2 weeks and its pretty deserted so alot of the display look untouched. They are gonna order me some more China Glaze OMG's because they didn't let me buy their 2nite of them.

Haul & Swap

Ive been trying to cut down on how much polish I buy a month because Ive been going a little crazy with the hauling so instead of hauling Ive been arranging swaps and just buying things for others.This past month Ive gotten some China Glazes that Ive been meaning to get for a while and since Sallys is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale it was the perfect time.

China Glaze Meteor Shower
China Glaze Luna
China Glaze Electric Lilac
China Glaz Dollhouse
China Glaze Purple panic
China Glaze Fairy dust

Lastly Ive been trying to get my hands on Magnetic polishes for a while and finally I found some on MUA and it happen to be from a fellow blogger. I arranged a swap with Jackie from Candy Coated Tips and finally I got some Essence magnetic polishes!! plus some extras :-)


I think Ive been doing good but I have my darling hubby to feed my addiction here he is looking through a Ulta sales magazine. He's too cute!



Ive been trying to get my hands on more international polishes so I need some international swap buddies. I hate missing out on collections because they don't sell them in the US for example the Essence collections are never in Ulta when they should be! Any one interested in swapping?
