Zoya Earthday 2012 Haulage

Remember on Facebook when I said I couldn't wait for this haul to come in?

Well IT's HEEERRREEEE (Said in eerie Poltergeist chick voice)

I think I went overboard....

....Nah no such thing!

So I deliberately chose no pinks or purples. I have a metric TON of those colors. Except for what was found in the Beach and Surf collection. Honestly, I could have shopped like 3x as much as what I bought. But I was good! Mostly! I was on a nail polish diet through most of April (if you hadn't noticed!)

 I had opened it and rummaged through it before realizing I needed to take a photo of it in the box. So I put everything back in.

 4 boxes. Yes they're all filled.

 Beach and Surf. God I'm so excited about this collection.

 A nice little bonus I guess. A huge sample!

Zoya Beach and Surf collection.

The only one missing from the collection is Lara and she is on back order. Hopefully I'll get her soon.

 The full haul. Norah decided to make a cameo.

 Then I split them into colors. Rina is the name of a character in my book so I had to get this. It helps that she is a gorgeous bar green and holographic glitter. Something I do not have in my collection.

 The browns and bronzes.

Zoya Collette, Penny, Amber, Goldie

 The blues. I guess I was in a blue mood, but none of them are the same.

Zoya Indigo, Kotori, Tallulah, Tart, Crystal, Ginessa

Now I'm going to spend the rest of the day swatching. *Happy sigh*

So what did you guys get for the promotion if you hauled?

My 1st Lynnderella(s)

I have been waiting for this nail mail for what feels like FOREVER! Connect the Dots was a huge lemming for me. Every time I saw a photo of it I wanted it. Finally it is mine! I'm really glad my last name begins with D. Still waiting on some back order, but I can be patient now.

So of course now that I have it I had to do a mani with it. I chose Fly because it's such a gorgeous color and so glossy.

OPI Fly

 Pure heaven. I can't stop staring at my nails.

Trying to show the gorgeous shimmer which doesn't photograph well. Look at that shine!

Zoya haul

Last week's Zoyal deal just about killed me. I couldn't pass it up. By the time I got there most of the trio-packs were already sold out. But the Sunshine and Summertime packs were calling my name.

I can't wait to play with them. Breezi and Sooki are two of the colors on my wishlist and they are in the pack!

March Julep Box

Finally they're here! I was one of the unforunate people who had the infamous shipping issue. I watched while everyone around me got their boxes, but no box for me!

That changed today, obviously. :)

I switched from Bombshell to It Girl for this month, and I am happy with my choice.

Here are lovely photos of the box!

Julep Melissa. I'm really interested in seeing how this one goes on.

Oohhhh Nfu Oh!

Many months ago I saw a photo of Nfu Oh 61 and I fell in love. It was beautiful lineal holographic yumminess. Then I saw OPI DS Original and fell even harder. I love the look. It is so sparkly and shiny. I couldn't wait to get my hands on them.

Alas, everything I read said you needed an Aquamix base, and everywhere I looked they couldn't be found. The Nfu Oh Aqua Base was constantly out of stock. For months I anguished. There was Make-Up Store aqua base, but no place to order online (You have to call the store and they charge $10 flat rate. Expensive if you only want one bottle of polish).

So I waited and I stalked Fabulousstreet.com. I despaired for months that I'll never get my hands on them. Ebay was charging over $50 a bottle.

I refused.

And then glory of glory last week I saw fabulousstreet's facebook.

AQUA BASE WAS IN STOCK.

Oh. My. God.

So I went. I saw. I bought.

And then...

...this arrived on my doorstep.

There is no photo of the box because I demolished it trying to get to the goodies inside. Oh Fabulousstreet how you tormented me. So much tape. It took me 10 minutes to get inside, and another 5 to peel the bubble wrap off.

Finally! A bottle!

I had just did my nails, and I couldn't convince myself to waste the weekend mani. So I swatched instead. So pretty.

Finally, today it was time to change my manicure. The Aqua Base is amazing. This was a dream to use and only took two coats. I also have a coat of Seche Vite on. Some say it dampens the holo strength, but I am too dazzled by my nails to notice. I also stamped with BM21 because this polish is a star.
