Long time no blog

Hello gang! Sorry for the extended absence.... there's really no excuse! I think it was mainly because my polish obsession was getting a weeeee bit out of control and I went through a period where my nails were really brittle. I had to give them a break (haha no pun intended).


I can honestly say I went a good two months or more where I didn't buy a single bottle of nail polish! I refused to look at them, I didn't go to Ross to find good deals on Colorclub...I haven't  even been to Ulta in months! It was this week that I decided it would be ok to look. I had some greeting card coupons to CVS I wanted to use that had dates that were close to expiring but the CVS I went to didn't carry the brand that my coupons covered (figures). Instead of leaving right away I wandered over to the makeup section to see if they had anything interesting on sale. I immediately saw that there were clearance stickers on some of the Sally Hansen polishes! A wooping 75% off!! I found three =]

I wish I hadn't taken the picture on my Christmas table cloth... it doesn't help that the tablecloth is red >_< oops. Anyways, these polishes normally retail for $5.49 each but I got them for $1.37 each! To top it off, I had a $3 extrabuck that I'd been hanging onto so I ended up paying $1.40 for all three!! I ended up saving $15.36! What a great deal!


The following day after I got off work I decided to take advantage of some of the sales that were going to be ending the next day. I got a pretty sweet haul for absolutely nothing!
