July Collective Haul (birthday haul)

This post is going up rather late but since I put myself on a "polish no-buy" for August it evens out. July is my birthday month and this year my friends and family spoiled me with polish. Loro was even going to attempt to make my cake look like a nail polish bottle but that's another story. I was very organized in writing down my polishes as I got them but as I'm trying to put this post together, I realize my pictures aren't as organized. The polishes will be listed in order that I got them. Since my pictures do not go with the text, I will be making use of captions.

Thanks to my twinsies, my boyfriend and his family, I had a GREAT birthday month filled with lots of polish happiness. That's why I decided for August to be "no-buy" month. I only lasted 18 days before failing but I have good reasoning behind it ;).

June Collective Haul

I was good in the month of June :) My total amount spent was a few cents shy of $40. The only things I purchased were the OPI polishes and the ELF bronzer duo.

Here's the breakdown of what I got:
Essie Camera (boyfriend)
Essie Pink-a-boo (boyfriend)
Sinful Colors Casablanca *not pictured (boyfriend)
OPI Nothin Mousie bout it
OPI I'm all ears
OPI The Color of Minnie
OPI If you Moust you Moust

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzer Powder
Spoiled Pet My Peacock
China Glaze White Cap (thanks Chelsea!)

At the end of May, I had made a goal to keep better track of my purchases. I'm happy I met that goal. Now if I can just get myself to actually make a favorites video.
