polish purchases: september edition

julie g 9 to 5, color mates spring fling, sinful supernova

nail pattern boldness flipping out hard, opi sit under the apple tree, pure ice heartbreaker (good version!)

with flash to show the shimmer~!

color mates spring fling ($1)- i saw this brand (color mates) at dollar tree the other day, and had never heard of them before. they had a large variety of shades, and they were (duh) $1, so i decided to try one. haven't tried spring fling yet, but i'll keep you posted when i do!

pure ice heartbreaker ($1.99)- if you haven't read about this online, heartbreaker is a gorgeous green shimmer layering polish that you can get for super cheap at walmart. however, it's been reformulated into a dull, boring turquoise shimmer. boo. while "grocery" shopping the other day, i found several of the old (amazing) version still on the shelves, so i had to snatch them up! my 1st bottle was running dangerously low. . . .

sinful supernova ($1.99)- i found this in the new sinful colors hot flash metallics display at walgreens. it's a gorgeous champagne/rose gold foil that's opaque enough for stamping! if you see one, i suggest you grab it!

julie g 9 to 5 ($3.99)- i'd been picking up this one every time i was in rite aid, so i finally decided to bite the bullet. it's kind of a neon pastel peach, if that makes any sense. love it!

opi sit under the apple tree ($6.80)- i think this was originally $8.50 at target, but i had a little bit of money left on a gift card, so it brought it down to exactly $6.80. this is a sheer yellowish green shimmer polish which looks killer over blues and greens. to be honest, i bought it just for layering. 

nail pattern boldness flipping out hard ($8 + $3 s/h) is definitely the most expensive polish this month. but totally worth it! i'd been wanting nail-venturous floam for months now, and discovered this very similar one on etsy! i'm loving the blue and green matte glitters. this is only the 2nd indie polish i've ever purchased! very excited :)

GRAND TOTAL FOR SEPTEMBER: ($26.77)

waaay better than last month. i only added 6 polishes to my collection, and stayed close to my $25 a month budget. since my collection has gotten so large, i'd like to be more selective about ones i buy. these days, i'd rather buy something really special than just whatever's on sale.
