Want to see my epic holiday (well August) haul?

Hello lovelies,

I'm finally back home from a very long holiday and I have a haul for you! There's actually two - The first half of the polishes is what I've brought with me from Czech Republic and the second half is what was waiting for me at home when I came back! Absolutely awesome nail mail and first batch of birthday gifts for me :D Here they are all together:



I brought these beauties from Czech Republic. Essence has recently changes the bottles of polishes so I've bought some. As you can see they are bigger (8ml) and opposed to 5ml bottles below. I also couldn't resist buying some Catrice polishes, gorgeous BeYu Brilliant Shiraz (looks like it was the last bottle everywhere), some Nubars, Essies and Gabriella Salvette polishes. Overall very successful but a bit expensive trip :))



And these beauties were waiting for me at home! They are all currently waiting for a review and I'll do my best to show you swatches asap!

    1. Well I'm a bit obsessed Sam, that's what happens after 2,5 years of being nail polish blogger - you just want everything just so you can show it on blog :D

  9. Ok, weird question, but how do you pack these when you travel? I'm always going back and forth to Finland from Canada, and I've managed alright so far with Ziploc's and bubble-wrap, but I was wondering if you had any different method.

  12. This is epic! Wow! You must have been in polish heaven when you came back!

    BeYu has recently remodeled their nail polish bottles and Brilliant Shiraz has simply gotten a new number. It was formerly #209 and with the new and bigger bottles it is now #437. I wrote about it on my blog (if I may link): http://chesterlovesmakeup.blogspot.de/2012/06/we-interupt-our-regularly-scheduled.html
    (If it's not ok just delete it. I understand.)

  29. Jen ze zvědavosti - proč je blog psaný anglicky, když je tu tu samá chybka, špatně použitá časová souslednost atd.? Myslela jsem, že v AJ píší ti, kterým je to přirozenější a ne ti, kdo se s AJ perou..

    1. Jee, muj prvni kriticky komentar! Sice se schovavas za Anonymem, ale i tak rada odpovim. Muj blog je v anglictine, protoze ho tak chci, mi ctenari jsou z celeho sveta a take proto, ze ziji v UK. Nikdo neni dokonaly, perfektni anglictinou se nechvastam a vzdy se mam cemu priucit. Ale jen tak, aby rec nestala - kdybych nemela slusnou anglictinu, tak neudelam vysokou tady v UK s vyznamenanim a nedostala bych velmi dobrou praci v marketingu.
