My terrible secret!

In the past week and a half I have bought 31 bottles of nail polish.

In my defense, 20 or so were bought in a bulk lot from Trademe and I gave a handful of those away

and Frankened alot of them
And everything else, bar the 2 China Glaze polishes was $4 and under!

Also, many of the colours were brought for these uni projects (I am a painting & sculpture major):

Now, onto the haul!

These Jordana polishes were all $3

These are from the bulk lot

Many of the polishes from the bulk lot were tipped onto the sculptures, given away or turned into frankens - this is my franken collection (I'm going to tip out the last two - one just absolutely stubbornly refuses to blend no matter how many times I shake, bang and swear at it! And the other is just a hideously thin formula, gross)

I found this awesome spice rack at a secondhand shop for a dollar or two.

And this one for $3. Yes, that is toilet paper

it's for removing nail polish thank you very much! I'm buying some cotton buds next week

May have gone a little loopy at a Revlon counter... new brush set and eyebrow gel - not pictured, 2 custom creations in Fair/Light - they were $8 for the two of them on clearance and as viewers of my FOTDs will know I use this foundation everyday

The Revlon lip liner is a parallel import from Postie Plus, a clothing store which also parallel imports all manner of cosmetics

I <3 it. Plus a MAC pigment sample of Brash & Bold.

This week I've also got a Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer palette and gel liner arriving (I've had them on layby for weeks as I shouted a friend a palette as well) and my weekly 2 China Glaze polishes

Witness my madness!

Hehe, I have a whole box of nearly 100 polishes that I've bought that are still waiting to be tried out!! At least you're using some of yours. Great idea for a project, using the polishes.

Hehehe, that makes me feel a little less guilty! Not sure how I'm going to explain my rapidly increasing nail polish collection to my boyfriend when he gets back in 5 months - when he left I only had one spice rack full :O he's been gone a month and this is what happens!

Hide them! Haha. I really like the little soldier men, especially the pink and teal glittery one lol.
Oh, question, how's the China Glaze in Lemon Fizz. Is it like really yellow or creamish

It's a mid yellow - definitely not as light as in the bottom but it's not sunshine bright either. I really like it

I was thinking of posting the sexy soldiers as polish swatches, haha!

Whoa! I have no idea what it is, but that sculpture is awesome! I love all the bright colours and the little details. I'd love to get up close and stare and stare.
