january haul

Yes, it's that time again. Haul post time.

For some reason, my mom keeps reading my blog around the time that I post these and then she gets mad about all the polish that I get.
So, mom, if you're reading this, STOP!!

Here's what I got this month.

I had a really big Zoya Haul:

Essie - As Gold As It Gets
Gosh - Fossil Grey

And I made two frankens for myself which I can't reveal because I made matching bottles for special people and I want them to be a surprise!

I've been a very bad girl. Very bad. (You should see the clothes I got this month, too.)
In my defense I bought all the Zoya's in December but they came this month.

Also in my defense, I purged a whole bunch of old crappy polish from my childhood that I didn't want to part with until now. I probably got rid of 20 bottles.
As well I brought 12 of my Nail Art Diva polishes to my job to use them there so technically they aren't in my stash anymore. (Yes, I work as a nail tech now, which I haven't mentioned before, but I have the best job in the world!)

I brought a lot in, but I took a lot out. I'm okay with this.

(Now I have to save though, because I'm heading to Toronto and New York in April! I need to be a good girl until then so I can spend oodles of money on polish there. And oodles at Forever 21. And H&M. And everywhere else. Will I succeed at being good in February and March and the first 3 weeks of April? Probably unlikely with all the new collections coming out!)

How did you do this month?
