January - Februari Polish Haul!

Hi everyone!!

I've been buying A LOT of polish these past few weeks - since the exams are over, I felt like I could treat myself to some goodies :) So today I'll be showing you my January - February haul! If you follow me on Facebook you might have seen some of these already - but not all of them! ;)

Let's start with the first polishes I bought: 2 Sally Hansen's from the Satin Glam collection: Teal Tulle (blue) and Taffeta (purple). I already swatched these and liked them a lot (still need to publish those swatches though).

I also got First Class Up-Grape from Catrice after seeing very pretty swatches of it.

In January, I also received a very cute package from my blogging friend Miriam (from Nail Talk). I had sent her a Tomboyish since I had two, and she sent me three gorgeous polishes in return!

From left to right: Essence Alice Had A Vision - Again; Catrice Petrolpolitan; and OPI Blue Chips. I swatched all of these already and the blog post is waiting in my vault to be published soon! I especially love the Alice polish, it's so incredibly gorgeous <3 Thank you again Miriam!

Next up, some fancy and expensive ones! (at least they're espensive here in Belgium)

I fiiiinally found OPI's Don't Bossa Nova Me Around (or as Jacqui would say, Don't Bossa Me Nova haha). I had been looking for it for a long time - it didn't seem interesting to me when the collection first came out, but if you hadn't snatched it up then it was impossible to find anywhere anymore. Until I stopped by a little beauty shop and found the last one :D

I also got OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and Essie Angora Cardi - that's right, I jumped on the marsala bandwagon! You already saw the two OPI's in my stamping post here.

And then, my most recent haul!! (okay lol in the time that I first typed up this post - 3 days ago - and now I already have a more recent haul. Oops. I'll be showing it after this one!)

Anyways, this second most recent one consists of 5 polishes, but also of 3 lipsticks and 3 pair of earrings - I know those aren't polish, but I'm still going to show them to you because 1) they're still beauty related and 2) they fit the entire "treat myself" mantra I've been having this past month! It was my birthday month and I bought this entire bunch of stuff I'm showing you now on February 28th, with the idea that it was the last day of my birthday month so if I wanted to splurge I had to do it now lol!

First up, earrings!! I love old fashioned earrings a lot, so the two on the right are so me. It was also a "3 for 2" deal so I couldn't resist getting them :) I am also always on the lookout for tiny earrings, so these hearts on the left were too cute to pass!

Then, some lipsticks!! Also a "3 for 2" deal, they really know how to get me spending money!

These are "sheer lipsticks", which means they do give off colour but not as much as a regular lipstick. I hadn't noticed that when I bought them at Yves Rocher, but I really like the fact that they're sheer because I'm not bold enough to wear a very noticeable colour on my lips. So these sheer ones are great for me!

I especially love Sienne, such a classy colour! The sheerness does depend a bit on the colour too though - Sienne is a bit more sheer than Cerise Noire.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! Some more polish :D

I saw an advertisement about the Maybelline Color Show All Access NY collection and thought NY Lover looked really cute with the hearts in it - I don't own a heart shaped glitter topper yet!! The same goes for L'Oreal Boho Look, I have lots of glitter toppers but not a lot of cutely shaped glitter toppers, if you know what I mean? So I picked up these two.

I also picked up Pure Soul from the Essence I Love Trends collection, after seeing it on Sabrina's blog - I used it already in this post.

I also got a yellow Catrice called Earnie & Birdy because it was on sale and I don't own enough yellows - unfortunately after trying it out I can advise you to not get it yourself, it was kind of streaky. Still good enough if you top it with some glitter or do a design on top though. And I caved and got the 2B Leather Effect Bordeaux because I was curious about it.

Here's a close-up of the glitter toppers: NY Lover has white hearts, and white and red hexagon glitters. Boho Look has light pink hexagons and bar glitter, and white flowers.

And then the most recent one lol: it was stil technically a birthday gift because I got a  voucher from a store that sells polishes - normally the voucher only covered the price of 1 polish so that was what I was going for. It was, however, my lucky day since the polishes were discounted. I got 3 of them and only payed €1, which is pretty good in my opinion :D

As you can see, I got Crazy Brownie, Stormy Monday, and Love Me Tender from Only You.

What do you think of my hauls? Which of these polishes are your favourites?

Thanks for reading!
