SO this week has been a great NAIL MAIL WEEK!! and it is only Wednesday!! On Monday, I got my order from 365 days of color. "to pink to function" and "soak up the sun". I will be showing swatches of them today but before I do that, I would love to show what else I got. On Tuesday, I got my order from manglaze which I have been wanting forever. ESPECIALLY lesbihonest. That and floam were my first two indie lemmings I wanted. I am proud to say I now own both:) I also got my order from nail polish canada which is a site I order from quite frequently since it is the only place for me to get Zoya and other polishes. This time I got a Zoya (Crystal, my name but spelled differently) and 3 Nubars. My first ones.
Here is my WAY AWESOME order from Manglaze!!!!!
SO cool that they include stickers, little postcards, tiny tattoos AND guitar picks! Could not be happier.
and since the day before, I had got my 365 of colors , I just did my nails so I have not yet tried them, just the swatches on the wheel made me giggle with excitement. As I mentioned, Lesbihonest, along with floam, were my first two indie lemmings I wanted. They were, in a way, my intro to indie polishes. It took a scam and then an honest person to finally get my hands on floam and when I saw manglaze was having a sale, I jumped on it. So, obviously, swatches of these will be coming very soon!
Then after all the excitement from opening this package, I still had the other one from Nail polish Canada. These orders always come very quickly. When you buy 25$ or more, you get free shipping, so I am able to choose the quickest one possible. I also noticed that the return address is only, about, 15-18 blocks away from me, so I always get it within 2 days. These are what I got.
So of course I was so happy with the manglae but that is not to take away at all from these polishes. I was very pleased with these as well. These are my first Nubars and the pink sparkly one "Prize" is a gorgeous, holographic polish!! The others are "caramelo" which I got because I must start getting some fall"ish" colors, after a summer filled with neons and brights! I LOVE the way this one looks. The other one is "purple fire" On blogs it looked purple and very pretty, but I swatched it and there is NO purple to it. Perhaps I have to apply it to my nails, possibly as a top coat. We will see,. AS with all I will be showing here, swatches will be up very soon. The other polish I got is my third Zoya, "Crystal. That is my name by the way. I had a very hard time choosing what I wanted. I should mention that all these nubars were on sale and sales do usually , strongly affect my choice. I was lucky that "Crystal" looked really pretty in swatches I saw online and the one I did myself was not too bad.
So that leaves today, Wednesday. Just when I thought the week was an epic nail week I got my llarowe order. Isnt it odd that you make orders, at times weeks from each other, as all these are, yet they all arrive within days of each other??! I went a week and a half, checking the mailbox and getting excited when the mail lady walked by, just to have nothing for me, but then all at once, BOOM! But, last but not least, today I got my order from llarowe. This is the second time I order from this site. I forget to mention that with nail polish canada, you get points with every order you make. Then when you have enough points, you can get a free item. It does take quite a few, but I am on my way. It is pretty much what the born pretty store offers, if you are familiar with it. SO with this order I got another lemming I have wanted for awhile. Girly bits "shift happens" (love the name) All swatches I have seen are gorgeous! I can NOT wait to try this over oh so many colors!!! Another lemming I wanted was the "mari moons" from hits, which, as I usually go by, had swatches to die for! And since I love sparkles and ALL polishes that are blue, I got the MTV bleu sparkly one.
MAri moons, from what I have seen in swatches, changes colors on your nails. "duo chrome" as they are called. And I usually dont go for polishes that are not a polish on their own. Meaning if it was all I had, it would not do anything on my nails. The only one I own is matte tops coats (which I love) I believe. Along with all the Essie luxeeffects and a few others. But being an indie polish that tends ti make a dent in the wallet, I usually want a polish that is a polish (if that makes sense) but from what I saw "shift happens" does wonders as a top coat and I am very happy to own it and excited to try it out. I am being repetitive but swatches are coming ASAP.
WEll, I was going to add my review/swatches of my 365 days of color on this post but it is quite a bit longer then I expected and I have quite a few pictures so I will make a post for it all on its own. SO I guess, and I apologize this is a "LOOOK WHAT I GOT" post. I am sorry for that. I do get excited when I get new polishes and I know that this community is the only people that can understand and appreciate it. Most are just like "Yea, uh-huh! so you got nail polish" You paid how much?? But dont you already have a bunch of pink and blue(so on) polishes? why you need more? SO I know if you are a follower, you do understand how I feel. But please dont leave yet. I will post right now my swatches of my 2 365 days of color polishes and you dont want to miss it! they are gorgeous!!!! But what do you guys think of this post. Do you own any "manglaze" "356 days of color" "nubar" "zoya" "girly bits" "hits" and if so which ones?? Which are your favourite sites to purchase polishes online? What do you think of the ones I got here??? Love to hear what you guys have to say! So let me know.... :)
Wow! Great hauling...can't wait to see all your pretty nails!
