Haul Time!


There is no Monkey See Monkey Do Monday Mani today. Instead you a look at my latest haul and probably last haul for a awhile. I'm trying to be good and I also joined a Halloween Swap so I want to make sure an leave something for them to get me! :)


This is my final swap package from my one swap group. This is from Amber and I love it! Look at all that yummy candy and polish! Oh and that little mustache? He talks! "Well, hello there" Hahahaha! The polishes I got are Saturday Morning Cartoons by Whimsical Nail Polish by Pam and a Francesca's polish called Confetti. I love them both and can't wait to use them!


This here is my first Hare Polish, Asteroid Turf. Really excited for this one! And then this lovely L'Oreal is Britt Invasion. Gorgeous!

 

Macro bottle shot of Hare Polish Asteroid Turf. Love the colors!

 

Next up is a lovely little collection I found at Ross. A whole collection of green polishes from KleanColor! (L-R) Starry Meteor, Mystic Grass, Jazz Olive, Green Grass, TLC, and Melon Green. I bought this and then the next day saw this post from Gnarly Gnails where she states she loves Melon Green! I'm excited! :)


So I read about this wonderful and amazing top coat HK Girl, reviewed by Caitlin at Caitlin's Creative Corner. And I knew I had to try it out. Well I found out that not only does Jill sell it through her awesome store: Glisten & Glow, but sometimes you can find for sale by her on Copious! (which is where I got it!) I can't wait to try this. Like Seche Vite without the goopy! Woot!


And my last bit of haulage that cost me nothing! Essie Penny Talk! Free because I had enough Klout Perks! Don't have Klout? Sign up and get awesome perks! :)

Smallage Haulage


So I thought I would show you the two amazing polishes that I received from Hailey from my swap group. These were both on my wishlist and they are both stunning! They are from the etsy shop Sparkles by Julie.


Macro bottle shot of Water Lily. "This polish is packed with gorgeous glitters in gold, holographic, black and a little bit of blue for good measure". Isn't it just super duper purdy! Swoon!


Macro bottle shot of Coco. "A cup of hot steaming coco(a), on you nails!!". Um, yummy! Doesn't it look delicious! Gosh I love it!

Thank you so much Hailey! I love them both!

*******************************************


This is not part of my swap but I wanted to show you all my two new stamping plates that I received from ebay! Aren't they fun! Keys on one and mustachios and lips on the other! FUN!

Swap Group: May Swap!


Here is my swap that I received in the mail for the month of May for my swap group from April at Munia's Nails. She got me four polishes off my wish list!!! Thank you so much April! I love them all!

(l-r): OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow (Suede), OPI Bubble Bath, OPI Wing It, and China Glaze Ruby Pumps.

And candy! Yummy candy! And look up at the top left, Bottlecaps! I haven't had those candies in ages! :)


Macro bottle shot of OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow Suede. It is a gorgeous green! Ignore the pink/peach colors floating around the image. That is a reflection. It is a purely green polish! I'm so excited for this polish because I am now one polish away (I'm pretty sure) from owning all the suedes!


Macro bottle shot of OPI Wing It. Look at the colors! Pink, orange, blue/purple! Lovely! :)

I didn't take a macro shot of OPI Bubble Bath (a lovely sheer pink nude color) or China Glaze Ruby Pumps (because this is a super common polish that I may be the only one who didn't have it! haha!)

Thank you so much again April! I can't wait to try them all! :)

Swap Group: April Swap!


This awesome package came from Yvonne in my swap group. I literally oohed and ahhed when I opened them! :) Well, wouldn't you? I mean look at all the pretties!


First up (l-r): Barielle U-Concrete-Me, Ginger+Liz Ivy League, Butter London Rosie Lee, and Essie Da Bush. The last two are off my wishlist and I am super excited! The Ginger+Liz brand is a new brand for me and it looks gorgeous! I'm not really familiar with them and I looked them up and they are vegan! How cool is that!? The Barielle one is a gorgeous grey creme! Yes! Another grey! I'm so happy! :) When I read the name I laughed because I assume it is a take on the Jerry Maguire "You complete me" but I soo read it as Ralph from The Simpsons reading the valentine card from Lisa: "You choo choo choose me?" hahahaha! Love it! Ah Simpsons, so many life truths!




Next up (l-r): Finger Paints Haute Taupe, KleanColors Peaceful Heart, Franken Grey Grape, and Lacquistry No Name. I'm excited for the Finger Paints one because I don't have many lighter browns and I really do need lighter browns! :) The Kleancolor one is totally awesome! Here, let me show you:

Macro bottle shot of KleanColor Peaceful Heart:


Wowza! A clear base with green holo glitter and glitter hearts! I love it! If you don't count hexes as shapes, then I believe this is my first shape glitter! Super excited!

Macro bottle shot of Franken Grey Grape:


You can kinda see the sparkly goodness at the top of the label. Flecks that flash purple in a grey/purple base! I'm really excited for it! This was made by Yvonne! And she told me it might actually smell like grape too still! Super excited! I opened it and there is a kind of grapey smell to it! :)

Macro bottle shot of Lacquistry No Name:


Holy awesomeness! Look at that! A crapload, an awesome amount of micro blue glitter with blue/silvery hex glitter! Can't tell yet if it is a clear base or a bit of a blue base. But I am loving this! I haven't tried Lacquistry yet and I am super excited!

Thank you so much Yvonne! I love them all!

Nail Mail from Katt!


I got some more nail mail yesterday! This time from Katt over at Kattatonic Fierceology. I love it! Look at all those Kleancolor Metallics! Yippee! :) She got me Metallic White, Metallic Yellow, Metallic Mango, Metallic Green, Metallic Aqua, Metallic Sapphire, and Metallic Purple. She also got me Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia, CQ Golden Green, and Nicole by OPI in Rainbow in the S-Kylie! Plus some candies (some already eaten) and a note with Hello Kitty on it (I love HK!)

I am so excited for all of these! Thank you Katt so much! And that CQ Golden Olive, one of my most favorite colors! :) Can't wait to try stamping with all of these Kleancolors! But I've heard that they stink really bad, so I opened one and smelled it........phew! They are awful! :) But if they work, then who cares if they stink! :)
