Banning my self from buying any more!

I'm going to put myself on a no buy for the rest of July and August.
I've got three orders I'm waiting on now.
2 polishes from Born Pretty
4 from a lady on Facebook.....my first Lynderella!!
And 3 from the Dance Legends group buy.

Add those to the 500+ that I have.........I really shouldn't need any more?!?!

I think i may have to join you  

girl ur strong, i cant do that, im not that strong

I should join you but I have no willpower. *must be strong*

I'm joining! I positively do not need any more nail polishes ever!

Doing well so far....went into boots and only brought some tanner and seiche vite (doesn't count on the no but  )

Well done! I've just bought other things today as well (tanner!!)  

I have a pile for blogsale I can't get around to, and just purchased a sonnetarium set :S just because :S

My attempt at a no buy lasted about 3 days - anyone got any tips how I can be more successful?!?

Maybe we need a dedicated 'no buy support' thread. I keep thinking about a no buy, but my 'low buy' didn't go so well...... (not my fault really - I hadn't factored in my sister's trip to the US).
I might try one in September (going back to Holland in August - Douglas, Sephora etc....). Is it OK to clear your 'want' list before the no buy and have a little bender afterwards?

I can't go out or near anything with internet access! My OH joked that we had to go shopping at Lidl because they're the only place with no polish and we went and they had polish!!!!!

That's a good idea! And definitely ok to clear your want list first!

I don't bother attempting a no buy as I just know I won't stick to it!

same... i can resist not buying online..but if i see a new set on the store, i have to have it :/... so i guess the good thing is that the store doesnt always bring new sets hahha

Online shopping is really dangerous! It's so quick and easy it doesn't feel like I'm spending "real" money. Just Eat is my massive vice but buying polish is nummber 2. I'm actually going to check out if there's some kind of block I can put on using my card online.

I'm on a no buy till at least Sept, lasted 3 weeks so far, it feels really good using nail polish for the second time and not trying on those newly bought ones.

You can do it!

Well done Candyrain! It's really encouraging to hear that it can be done  

I am in my third no buy this year.

First was 3 months I think then I had a month of buying then nearly two months of no buy until I bought some polishes from Princess Sossidge and now I am on a no buy again since end of June so halfway through first month .

I am lucky as there really is nothing I want at the moment as I boughtt some of the new Barry M gellies and I got the models own splash collection from Princess Sossidge which was my summer lemming .
