Haul Post Part 2 - The Purchases

Hi Goddesses

So here's the second part of my haul post - these are the polishes I have purchased in the last 2 months and ... er, there's rather a lot. Eeeek!

I'm going to start with all my purchases from Llarowe. Oh this caused me some stress! Lol. When I first saw the swatches of the new Hare Collection, I knew I had to have them ALL. Such preciousness ... aaah, to die for! So I stalked Llarowe's website, and by whatever luck, managed to buy every single one I wanted - and I think I was one of a very few who managed that.

I spent the next couple of days skipping along, overjoyed that my guardian angel had looked after me so well. Now, I usually get my US packages after 7 days, 14 at the most, but suddenly it was 3 weeks since my order, and I was panic stricken. Leah Ann, lovely as always, confirmed the tracking number, and that it was STILL stuck in LA ... and so I waited.

Now, being a Crumpet, I wait about as patiently as a shark does when it smells blood in the water, and for the next 8 days my impatience grew and grew and grew. Luckily, Leah Ann understood my panic, and we joked about whether I should get a dinghy to row out and greet my polishes.

Well, eventually, they arrived. PHEW! After about 4 weeks, which is the longest I've ever waited - and of course, it's going to happen with the package you're most excited about. I don't know WHAT they were doing with it in LA, but look, ALL OF THESE ARE MINE !!!!!

In a separate box, I also ordered some other goodies from Llarowe.

You're Turning Violet, Violet, Wicked, Tricksy, False!, Bitches Brew

I was very excited to receive my Emily de Molly order. Emily is now on Llarowe, but I ordered these from her Etsy shop back in August. Guess who didn't read the part about how they would take 3 months to ship from Australia? Dumb ass Crumpet ....

I am also really excited about Different Dimension. Missi's polishes look AMAZING, and I can't wait to try them.

I did a little bit of splurging at Ninja Polish. I've resisted the Laylas for a long time, mainly because I was so disappointed with the quality of the holos, but then someone posted a swatch of the velvety goodness of their Soft Touch Collex .... and I was doomed.

And then we have my eBay purchases. I finally caved and bought the last 2 OPI Suedes I wanted - Lincoln Park After Midnight and We'll Always Have Paris.

I also bought the only 2 polishes that interested me from the Skyfall Collex - The Spy Who Loved Me and Tomorrow Never Dies.

I've been on a quest to find the "perfect" grey - call it a rainy November kind of polish quest - which resulted in these 2 bundles.

I then found quite cheaply these mirrored polishes. They're a UK brand that I've never heard of, but this autumn I've really been yearning polishes with texture.

And a couple of Essies I'd been half yearning for a while ....

And then .... drum roll .... my eBay purchase of the CENTURY !!! I shit you not, this was EPIC !!! Originally, this included another 8 or so polishes that I have since swapped away including the HTF OPI Route Beer Float and Chicago Champagne Toast. In all, there were over 20 polishes, and I grabbed them for about £80, which I know is a lot .... but just WAIT til you see what was in the bundle.

So, lots of Nails Incs - there were a lot of nudes and browns that I swapped, and these that I kept.
