Zoya Valentine's Day Promo

Check out Zoya's blog post to get the code for a free bottle of red polish with any purchase, plus free shipping! That's two bottles of polish for only $8! Or, I have seen some people bought a bottle of polish remover for under five bucks, and get the free bottle of polish. There is a long list of reds to choose from, so it's not just a certain color you have to buy...anything from classic red, to neon red, dark red, even red glitters!  The code is good til 2/15/12 at 11:59 pm, so you have today still to take advantage of this offer!

I chose LC (surprise, surprise...a coral-red! haha.) and Bevin...two colors I have been wanting for some time now!

The 'Got A Job' Haul

I figured I could splurge a little since I am finally going to have money coming in. I don't have to worry about saving extra money from this month to cover anything for next month, etc. I had to go shopping for some dress pants, shoes, and a collared shirt for work until they get me a 'work shirt'. So, of course, I picked up some polish while I was out...

China Glaze Life Preserver, Orly Bonder Basecoat, and Orly Gumdrop. I am really hoping the Orly Bonder works. I have been using gloves for cleaning and dishes, so my mani's last significantly longer, but I still have chipping issues from washing my hair or now since I am working, I know that is going to be a little harder on my nails. We'll see.

 Top L to R: Unicorn, Why Not, Folly

Middle L to R: Innocent, Exotic Green

Bottom L to R: Mint Apple, Hazard, Island Coral, Boogie Nights, Vacation Time

Since Walgreen's had all SinfulColors on sale for just 99 cents, of course I had to pick a bunch up! I would have bought more, but seriously there were lots of colors that looked exactly the same, and some of the colors I just didn't like. I'm sure I will grab more when they go on sale again. lol. Eventually I will have all of the core collection. I also bought a few other shades for a giveaway I'm putting together, but I'd rather they be a surprise. lol.

I also bought a couple polishes off Amazon that I found at a good price, hopefully they get here soon!!

Weekly Winning & Good News!

Wow, it feels like forever since I've done a 'winnings' type of post! lol. I won one giveaway this week, but first I would love to share some wonderful news with everyone....

I got the job I interviewed for last week! YAY! I will finally have money again. I am so excited. Not only do I have some fun stuff brewing in my head for you guys, but I also get to start going to town on my wishlist! lol. Actually, I already started :-) Just wanted to thank all of you for all the good lucks and well wishes over the past couple months while I was job hunting!

Also, I should have enough rewards to cash out by the end of the month (or a little after) for a camera. So, I am very excited to be able to start swatching my stash and sharing it with everyone. It's been so hard to always be painting my nails and not be able to share my lovelies with you all! And a Helmer is in my near future :-D

So, onto the rest of my good news...my winning from this week. It came from the Ladies Home Journal Blog. It's a Sephora lipstick, a mint green nail polish, a cute little bunny pouch and a cash book. I am completely obsessed with mint green polishes right now, so I am excited to try ti out. Not to mention, the bottle is so cute and different! Maybe I will use the cash book to help budget my polish, clothes, and shoe spending cuz I feel like I am going to be going a little crazy once I get paid! lol.
