I paid £7.99 for Petrol in Water on its own. It is worth it though.
I wish I lived near a TK Maxx - the closest one to me is about an hour's drive and the two times I went there wasn't much make up.

Re. the Accessorize nail varnishes - I bought one called Mermaid, I think, and it's really gorgeous.

Only 2 new cheaper additions to my collection this week another market stall one in a deep pink and I think its Collection which I guess was Collection 2000 from Boots in Go Retor which is a brightish purple. Only ended up buying it to use up some points when I was getting some remover.

Had to seriously resist the Barry M magnetics though especially the red it looks absolutely gorgeous. Contemplating a bit of a splurge as been saving my money as I have been out and about at shows so needed cash for tickets and travel etc although it has been a good excuse to mess around with my polishs for the different things I have been at but now in serious need of a nail polish shopping spree.

Got my first polish from OPI today, a gorgeous shiny red. Also purchased "Petrol in Water" online as well after seeing it here!

Oh dear I had my nail polish shopping splurge today have come home with a total of 7 and had to resist buying more.

I got the Barry M Magnetics in Red and the Lilac foil one as well. Almost bought another 3 or 4 Barry Ms as I liked the Violet Magnetics but maybe its a bit too similar to the Boots 17 purple that I already have and fell in love with 3 others colours including the Teal and the Pink Irredescent and there was a nice mid Blue as well which I might get later in the week.

Then came the oops moment I ended up with a set of 5 Leighton Dennys in TX Maxx there was one single box set which I grabbed and a few different Nails Inc sets that I have held off on for the moment as was desperate to get Leighton Denny and at £19.99 for the 5 set it was a must buy. Didn't realise until I opened it when I got home that it was the jail themed set and really lovley colours.

The set has Little Thief which I fell in love with in another set shown on QVC and really wanted
Caught Red Handed A gorgeous red
Jailbird A lovely deep green
Daylight Robbery Deep Blue
Doing Time Can't really describe the colour kind of grey but green at the same time

Resisted the Nails Inc as I know they are meant to be on QVC tomorrow so want to wait and see what they have before going back to TX Maxx and having another splurge.

Excellent haul, well done!

I'm in the process of doing another swap with my Texan friend. She posted a parcel a couple of days ago - I have no idea what she's sent! It's exciting!

Today I tried out Facets of Fuschia again. It's ok, but I'm still not loving it. I stuck it on my blog this time, but I just feel very meh about it. I think I'll take it off and try something more cheerful for tomorrow.

Jailbird is gorgeous it is the green colour I have been searching for and sometimes when you look at it depending on the light has a slight blue sheen to it but absolutely love it.

Currently got all 5 leighton colours on as wanted to see what they all looked like sad I know but favourites so far are
Caught Red Handed, Jailbird and Little Thief.

Now just waiting to see what QVC has to offer with Nails Inc although I believe from Twitter Leighton may be on at 11 tonight as well as part of the Festival of Beauty although not sure if it will be his polish or one of his other products as he has a few things on the go just now.

I got a Color Club set from TK Maxx - 7 polishes for £7.99 (although from looking online a couple aren't meant to be in this set but oh well).
Also got 2 Sally Hansens - Lagoon and Feeling Saucy, Rimmel Trend Spotting and a pink shimmery one from Claires have not admitted to my fiance how many I cane home with haha, but pretty pleased as they only cost me about £18 altogether.

After vowing not to buy any more polishes, I relented and yesterday I bought Barry M's Teal and Silvery Lilac.

I'm no Barry M fan, but some of his new ones look really nice.

I didn't know Color Club were available in the UK. Does anywhere else sell them?

I know it looks brilliant really nice range of colours so far too. Also good that you can get the Lipduals on their own or in the set with the matching polish saves trying to figure out the best matches.

Aquired another 4 polishes today knew I shouldn't have gone into TX Maxx again although in fairness it is the set I promised myself if I didn't buy anything from QVC which I didn't as I wanted the Nails Inc cupcake set but it sold out before I could get it and so did the Purple Passion set so went back today and ended up buying the other set I had looked at on Saturday.

The colours I got were

Bow Street which is the sparkly purple from the purple that QVC had

Manchester which is red but in the bottle has a gold sheen to it so not sure how it will look once on the nails.

Hampstead Heath I think it is a deep pink verging on red

Emerald Street which is a nice green bit lighter than Leightons Jailbird I think

Got all 4 in a box for £14.99 so can't really complain and they had a few other colour variations but that was my favourite if funds allow and depending on their stock may add a few more additions at the end of the week.

My American swap parcel came - omg it's brilliant! She's sent me 4 China Glaze Hunger Games ones: Riveting, Electrify, Stone Cold and Harvest Moon, plus a Sally Hansen purple glitter (Lady Luck) and a Sally Hansen peachy/gold glitter (Ring a Ding). They are ALL gorgeous!

Anyone tried the Butter London range? I really am in love with their Knackered colour and some other ones too.

I've only got Knackered. It's pretty, but very very sheer, which was a bit disappointing. I've layered it over other things, which solves that, but it makes it a bit less duochromey.
