what ya got?

Emma Louise for my daughter's birthday and Liquid Leprechaun  

I've been naughty lately. I seem to have bought loads.....  

Liquid Leprechaun is lovely I chose that when I won a giveaway (choice of any Pretty Serious polish) despite already having OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air which is...er...not entirely dissimilar. Pretty envious of Emma Louise though! Are you honestly gonna hand that over? :p

It's much more her colours than mine,plus that is her name :-) I'll just be giving her strict instructions not to let it go gloopy like the bottle of Mad As A Hatter that she killed.... 

I went into boots for nail varnish remover and came out with Rimmel Aurora from their space dust collection - im proud of myself for not buying the whole collection :p

*looks up swatches*

Aw wow. You made the best choice I think, alongside Moon Walking. So pretty.

I suspect i will end up with more of the collection next time somewhere has them on offer...

This week I got the full set of Barry M mattes for autumn, and 3 Essie from the Fall 2013 collection, AfterSchool Boy Blazer, Cashmere Bathrobe and Vested Interest. I also get some Bourjois minis from Fragrance Direct, 2 boxes of 6, £10 for the two. I love everything I've got. Last night I was on FD (again) and ordered a few foil packs.  

I've brought Rimmel Total Eclipse, then popped into Tx Maxx and they had the new Color Club collection, Girl About Town for 9.99.....The Uptown looks amazing, can't wait to swatch it later.
Was dead pleased as I had been looking on eBay this morning for The Uptown, but it was 9.99 on its own!!

I picked up three boxed Deborah Lippmanns for £12.00 from TK Maxx earlier today: Razzle Dazzle, Across the Universe and Hit Me With Your Best Shot. It brightened up my otherwise crappy week.  

I got a mini set of Color Club Girl A bout Town in TKMaxx yesterday, there was a full size set but someone had nicked The Uptown out of it!

It wasn't me.

I picked that set up on Saturday and refrained, I wouldn't use the top coat and I already have the Uptown. I also left the two Lippmann packs, I figured £12 was nearly the cost of one I really want (Shake your Money Maker).

I must admit I did do a little reshuffle of one of the Lippmann packs.......   

I really was chuffed though.  

My friend whose a beautician took me to a wholesalers today. They had OPI for £5 a bottle! I bought some of the Mariah Carey Christmas polishes.

I did what Loola did, and am now wishing I'd done waht Baba did!

Loola's done what Baba did on numerous occasions....

I'm scared I'll get caught! The TKMax I go into is always empty so I'm a bit obvious.

Confidence. You're taking the bottles out just to get a better look at the shade - hold them up to the light....then, slightly confused, you try to work out which came from which pack. You do your best, but ultimately and unbeknown to you, get it wrong. You're still paying for three bottles, so it's just a simple error

Yep, my thoughts exactly. The Lippmanns weren't in a proper box together like the OPI or Barielle, mine were just in a resealable Ziploc bag so I guess they were probably just put in packs of three by the staff anyway.

There were only two bags. Each had one stunner and two dreary things. I'd ahve to be pretty thick to end up with two goddies in one bag.
Next time though - I may just play totally and utterly dumb!
