As I wrote in my Shopping ban: Redux post I am not allowed to do any more unnecessary shopping this year. None, zip, nada. You probably know by now that I am such a fan of bright, shiny, pretty and sparkly nail polishes, and this obsession put them right at the top of my own personal no-shopping list. Simply put: No more nail polishes for me until 2012. Sad trombone.
Really though, I was determined to keep my promise, so imagine my surprise when nail polishes started popping up out of nowhere!
First of all, the lovely Annabella of Skin Scrubs posted a comment and asked me if I would like her to send me some Barry M nail polishes. How incredibly nice of her! I jumped at the chance, and a little over a week later four beautiful polishes arrived in my mail box.
How pretty are they? I have no metallics in my collection so the silver and gold were very welcome, the raspberry red is a classic, and I have never tried brown before so that will be a fun first. Of course I had to try one of them out right away, and the first one down was the silver nail paint.
It is so shiny, it almost looks like it could be a metallic foil – so pretty. I can’t wait to try the other polishes that Annabella sent me.
But wait, there’s more! Another mystery polish popped up and ended up on my fingers a week or two ago:
Oh yes, it is my holy grail of sparkly polishes: Deborah Lippmann’s Bad Romance. I got my grabby paws on Across The Universe this summer and fell completely in love with it (yes, I am aware of how unhealthy this love for polish must sound to a normal human being), and now it has a sister!
This polish ended up in my collection thanks to my boyfriend. He bought it from parfymeri.no if you should feel a little grabby yourself. Don’t worry, I will take the blame if it will make you feel better ;)
Aaand that’s what it looks like on, over O.P.I’s Black Onyx! Tons of thanks to Annabella and my lovely boyfriend <3
Åh, de to siste ser ut som bokeh på glass <3
Ja, bokeh på glass, der har du det faktisk! De er helt fantastisk fine, både i flasken og på neglene :)
You lucky thing ^o^ I’m completely, totally jealous ;P
Love the metallics! It looks like you had your nails plated with soft silver…
Also, TWO Deborah Lippmann polishes?? :D Holy grail indeed. Though, truth be told, I like Across the Universe better (purple isn’t really my poison :)
Purple is most definitely my poison, so I love them both equally ;) Have you seen “Ruby Red Slippers”? Would be perfect for Christmas! God, I need to stop..
Oh wow they look really nice! Glad you like the metallics, the bottles look pretty too! :D
I LOVE the metallics, they’re marvelous! And the layering possibilities are endless, too!
