February Hauls

Sorry I didn't get this up sooner, I have been a little stressed out with some family business.  I meant to get more of a handle on my backlog today but since it's getting late I guess I can call that a fail LOL. 3-4 NOTDs, not to mention all the other stuff I've been putting off.  But here's what I bought in February:

 

I was at Claire's looking for the colors that are close dupes to some Mac colors ... I don't remember any of the names LOL but I didn't find them.  I did  however find too much bling for me to pass up:

 

 

Creatively named Glitter Top Coat & Gold Glitter Top Coat.

 

I somehow managed to spend enough to get a Level 3 rewards certificate at Ulta ... I didn't like any of the Level 3 rewards though, so I got a Level 1 & a Level 2:

 

 

Ulta Little Black Dress & OPI Light My Sapphire.

 

Luckily I had a 15% off coupon when I went to Sallys, because I damn near cleaned out their special displays LOL.  Mostly China Glaze and just one Orly that I couldn't resist:

 

 

Orly Royal Velvet, from the Precious collection; & the China Glaze Crackle collection (minus the black which was sold out):  Fault Line, Broken Hearted, Crushed Candy, Cracked Concrete & Lightning Bolt.  I decided to swatch them too - half the nail white, half black, except for the white which I did half pink.  The purple is not included because I actually did a full mani with that I will be showing you guys =)

 

 

Same trip, I also picked up the majority of the Tronica colors, and I scrounged the rest from a couple of other stores.  Here is the entire collection:

 

Top row:  Techno Teal, Virtual Violet, Electra Magenta, Gamer Glam, High Def, Hologram.  Bottom:  Hyper Haute, 3D Fantasy, Digital Dawn, Cyberspace, Mega Byte, & Laser Lime.  Now don't get me wrong, they're all very pretty - but this collection is nowhere near a replacement for the OMG collection.  Not even close.  I'm almost a little offended that China Glaze has the balls to call these holographic.

 

I got a lot of pics of these swatched with the OMG & Kaleidoscope collections - I'm going to make the comparisons a post all its own.  Should have that up tomorrow if I get all the pics edited.

 

Thanks for reading =)
