Need Polish?

Well, I happen to be purging a huge amount of my stash currently on ebay. These are all ones I haven't even used! I have over 50 up currently and haven't even gotten into my OPI's, Revlons, etc. What I do have up are more Funky Fingers, a ton of Cult Nails, some Julep, Illamasqua, etc. If you are buying a bunch, when you are done saying yes to the auctions, don't pay! Wait for me to invoice you because I will combine the shipping and give you a better price.  If you go ahead and pay I won't go back and combine the shipping pricing etc. It says it all over my auctions as well. you can get my ebay page here.

I did the pricing based on what ebay suggested not just some numbers pulled out of the air etc. They said that's what particular things were being listed at and going for at the time so I went with it. If you have any questions feel free to contact me before you bid/buy because once you do you are committed.

I am working on blog posts you will really enjoy that will be coming soon! there will even be giveaways! So keep your eyes peeled and if you have not seen how giveaways have been done in the past you might want to brush up on them! They come out of nowhere and there are ways you can earn more entries prior to them beginning!

Peace and love!

Huge Polish Sell Off

I am going through my current stash and selling off a lot of it that I have never used and are now very hard to find and were limited editions at the time I bought them. One thing I have up is the entire 2011 Wet n Wild On The Prowl LE Collection which at the time was hard to find all 8 bottles, which  I not only did but found doubles of some and sold them off then keeping this 1 set in tact for sometime in the future which is now.

I have HTF China Glazes up, a Deborah Lippmann, some Illamasqua, Julep, Butter London, and some Essie. The fun of this sale is I have a ton of HTF Funky Fingers that I have put up with the statement if you buy 3 Funky Fingers, your 4th is free!

You can find this on going sale Here! I am having problems with my right shoulder so it makes it hard to do my nails right now! Plus this money could help towards a computer/tablet upgrade! Keep an eye on it because I will keep adding stuff. The polishes may look wonky in the pictures but that is because of Ebays new policies of 1. No watermark and 2. It must be 500 pixels tall  which mine have been fine in the past but now I've had to go back in and redo it for the tall factor.

So please go take a look and have some fun! I have more reviews I am working on so keep an eye out for that too!

Peace and love,

Jeanne

Blog Sale sort of

I am helping out a friend of mine who would be out on the streets otherwise. I have been going through my collection and putting up polishes I haven't used and have just sat down in the basement collecting dust on my e-bay page.  The Listing is: dreamerjs  please help as much as you can. You will see more about the story in the listings.  thanks! I am working on getting more reviews up as you are reading this. I may put up more as I think about it. While I myself am going through health stuff I haven't written about including being in the hospital 22 days over the new year, this trumps that. Thanks all!

Peace and love,
Jeanne

My 2012 Top 5 brands of Polish!

In No Particular Order!

It was hard enough to cut this down to 5 so ranking them wasn't gonna happen! I chose these 5 because they were the ones I bought the most from this year :) You can clink on their names to go check them out and get as addicted to them as I am!

Zoya!

I have been a huge Zoya fan for years.  People who read this blog or know me, know this VERY well :)  Their polishes are always desirable and drool worthy! They are always ahead of the curve with their collections each season, they go on with ease, and they last forever! Well, it seems like forever ;)

Cult Nails!

I have ALMOST every single color they have released thus far.  I haven't swatched them all but am close to it! Her daughter Coco even got in on it this year and for her birthday she released her own collection Untamed which I did swatch and review.

A England

This line is fabulous! While she has a smaller amount of released polishes, the ones she does have are so amazing she doesn't NEED to release a lot of collections! Adina is an amazing creator! She has done 4 collections that are so amazing! I wish I could get all of them and I know eventually I shall! They come from the UK but it is soooo worth it!

Illamasqua 

This is another UK line that I got a bunch of this year :) This line is available in Sephora in the US and you can order online.  The formula they use makes the polish go on very smoothly with just 1 to 2 coats. They also do makeup and are currently in the middle of a 70% off on certain lines right now.

Deborah Lippmann

Deborah collaborates with celebrities for some of her polishes and is the only higher end polishes I will actually pay more for!  I couldn't help myself when I saw several very good deals during the year. If there is only one line you could splurge on this would be it!

So these are my top 5, what are y'alls?  What do you think?  What are your must haves in your collection?  I will be starting back up with swatching here shortly.  I had hernia surgery on 11/01/2012 and once cleared a month later to resume life regularly, I fell down my stairs and now have both feet in boots. I'm stuck to a wheelchair for mobility.  My studio is downstairs so I'll have to have my husband bring some stuff up so I can do things upstairs for now. I also have a lot of beauty box reviews coming up including a giveaway so keep your eyes peeled!

All of these were acquired via MAJOR sales.  I got the 6 Deborah Lippmann's off HSN for $40! Illamasqua recently had a 3 day sale go on.  I bought some I didn't realize I had so the extras will go in my soon to be put up blog sale! I even got the LE Blogger trio's for $12 and free shipping!  I try and post on my blog anytime I find a deal for others.  Check your local pharmacies like Walgreens, Eckerd, Rite Aide, etc. as they are getting ride of stock!

So, I will be doing a review and giveaway on the LE Blogger trio, a design using the Sinful Colors from their Neon Collection that just came in, review the May Birch Box, review the May MyGlam, etc.

What are your must haves?  anything you are itching to buy?  My husband has told me to quit spending money... except he sent me to walmart last night for sprite and cough drops.....his fault a bunch of polishes dropped in my basket *whistles innocently* and that some are going to someone else *whistles innocently*

Happy Tuesday! I'm feelin a bit better but am not out of the woods yet.  Now my husband has something! ARGH! it never ends! good thing he sleeps upstairs (our bed is broken on one side so I lay on unbroken side as it is a sleep # and best for me) so hopefully we can keep this from coming back to me.
