Shopping Log

Discounts are bad for my wallet! Not for my nails though. Catrice will be renewing their collection soon so all products that are getting replaced are 50% off at my local store. There were three colors I wanted but didn't own yet, and I decided to get a back-up bottle of one of my favorite nude colors Mona Lisa Is Staring Back.

Next to that, they had another 25% off every second product and look at that, they have a new limited edition out... Enough products worth grabbing! Then I noticed the new trend edition by Essence and I liked three colors right away. But why leave those other two colors behind, right? :-) My local store also works with personalised discounts and I got to buy four bottles of the Essence Colour & Go collection at a reduced price and voila, this is what I end up with;

Broken Dawn

It's not a surprise that the name of this nail polish 'The Dawn Is Broken' was inspired by the title of a Twilight book as it was part of the Essence Vampire's Love trend edition.

Shopping List

Nail polish and shoes... my two addictions. I was browsing the H&M (Yes, I'm a budget girl) Spring 2012 catalogue the other day and I couldn't resist ordering. Apart from some basics for my wardrobe, I simply had to get these shoes and cute accessories.


20120114-001
Hot pink suède peep-toe pumps
20120114-002
Green immitation-suède peep-toes
20120114-003
Two scarfs, two small belts (the green one is a perfect match to the shoes) and a set of 9 pearl-like ear rings.
I'm definitely looking forward to the sunshine now, so I can start wearing these lovelies.

Nail polish reviews to come again soon :)
