Hi Goddesses
It's a LONG time since I did a haul post, so I thought I'd treat you today. Also, a plea. I've added the BLOGLOVIN logo back to my blog, and I'd be really grateful if you would follow me that way too. I'm a little concerned what will happen when Google Reader gets withdrawn - and you wouldn't want to miss out on reading The Crumpet, would you? If you're using your phone, here is the link - http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/3065945
So, this is stuff I have purchased since Christmas. You'll notice there's a lot less than there used to be. This is for a variety of reasons -
* less funds - this recession is a bitch, so I'm buying less
* I have too many polishes. Lol. There comes a point where you've mostly been there and bought that before, and I am no longer willing to have 8 versions of the same colour / glitter
* postal costs. These have risen everywhere, and whereas before it was cheapish to buy 1 or 2 polishes off Etsy, now it's not worth it unless you want 4 or 5. Sad times.
* finally, I've been lucky. A lot of lovely polish makers have sent me samples, so that's been scratching my itch, and I'm grateful to everyone who trusts me to swatch their babies.
Ready, then ??
I recently placed a KIKO order. I love their polishes sooooo much. This features some of their textures, called Sugar Mats, their Mirror polishes and a random!
Next we have a swap from the lovely Emma -
And a swap from the lovely Jen -
Wow,that's a bad photo lol!
Then my recent purchase from Mei Mei's Signatures -
Cirque perfection.
Pretty Serious - I am loving everything I see from them at the moment.
My secret Santa from Kerrie -
And my first Elevation Polish order -
And my second lol.
My super bargain from a UK shop called The Factory Shop which is a super discounted end of line type place. They had Essie polishes for £3 each, or 2 for £5. Even better, they were relatively new releases. And I have to say, the metallics are BRILLIANT for stamping.
Black Cat Lacquer gorgeousness. No one makes colour glitterbombs as perfectly as Sabrina.
Pahlish haul. I need to sort myself out here. I am in love with Pahlish and now have about 20 ... but haven't worn 1 yet. What is wrong with me lol.
My swap with Hazel -
2 Butter Londons -
A whole SHELF of British polishes which will be hitting the blog soon -
A Ninja Polish order -
and a Llarowe order -
Nails Inc order including the ridiculously hideous feathers -
and my first Chirality order -
My first bundle of Happy Hands happiness :)
A lovely swap with my bestie Missy -
OPI Liquid Sands minis -
and OPI Goth minis - I've wanted Sanguine for the longest time. Wow, just look how twisted these are!
Some more Girly Bits -
You may remember that Literary Lacquers The Greatest Treasure was my January polish of the month - well, I loved it so much I went back and bought a big bottle, and a travelling companion :)
I Love NP - one of my favourite indie brands at the moment -
Cirque amazingness - Cirque had been on my "must have" list for a while, and now they are mine, MINE !!!!
Then I seem to have forgotten to photograph 4 Zoya PixieDusts, 2 Zoya Ornates and 6 assorted Laylas - bad Crumpet! But they are all swatched and ready to hit you soon :)
Now, this does look like a LOT of naughtiness, but it's 3 months worth, and come on, we all remember when I could do this much damage in 1 month lol.
Enjoy xxx :)
