Vacation Haul!- Part 1


Hey Guys! So I have been away for a week in beautiful Sandpoint, Idaho! We look forward to coming down here every year to relax and soak up some sun at the beach. This week was crazy hot which was awesome, and I was able to do some shopping for some polish : ) I wasn't really looking for any specific polishes but ended up buying quite a few. I just wanted to show you guys some pictures of what I picked up first and will be showing you some swatches very soon!


These polishes are amazing! I already had Horse Power by Butter London, which is a nail strengthener. When I was at Nordstroms I picked up Butter London's Melt Away, which is a great cuticle remover. I have been using a Sally Hansen cuticle remover forever and this stuff is so much better! I also got their Nail Foundation. Now this stuff I LOVE!!! This stuff dries very quickly and matte. It provides a perfect base for polish, it seems to prevent chipping, and it also looks great on its own. The third polish I picked up was Hardwear, which is their topcoat. It is supposed to be quick drying but compared to my Sally Hansen or SV top coats, it is much slower. Handbag Holiday is cuticle oil. It smells kind of like vanilla and absorbs quickly. I am really enjoying my Butter London polishes.

A few months ago I had picked up a LAYLA Holographic polish in Jade Groove. I love the linear holo of it! I decided I wanted black and silver ones as well! The black reminds me of my OPI My Private Jet, which has always been my favorite polish color, but I am starting to run low on it.

Essie was buy 2 get 1 free at ULTA so I decided to pick these three up. I don't wear many metallic colors but it's nice to have these anyway! These polishes work great for stamping as well.

I will show you guys the rest of the polishes I picked up tomorrow! Thanks for taking a peek!
