I don't quite know how I've need up with haul post, straight after another, but eh...?
This posts comes in the shade (see what I did there) of a nail polish haul, from the insanely discounted Fragrance Direct website. If you've never graced the web pages of Fragrance Direct then I urge you to scamper on over there and have a look at their offerings, because there are some huge savings to find.
For example I picked up 8 polishes with the high street retail value of just over £48 combined, and managed to bag them for a little over £14 including postage and packaging.
Yes I know....it's madness. There are limited shades with some brands, however I've found that if you keep checking regularly they get new stock in every so often.
The first polishe's to drop into my basket where of course the Essie ones with a price tag of £2.25 each (RRP £7.99 each). I love Essie for their quality, and one coat application. I opted for Canyan Coral and the glittery Hors D'Oeuvres.
I also took the opportunity to try out a few Bourjois polishes from their 10 Day No Chips (RRP £5.99 each) range, and at the discounted price of 99p each, I am super amazed at the quality and application. The opaqueness is also spot on with a nice bold colour, and the drying time is quick. I choose the pretty pearly pink No13, a pastel purple No26 and a vibrant neon coral No25.
Buy three that's what!
So I chucked in another pastel blue toned purple in Amazon Flower, a fun metallic ice blue Saphire Treasure, and finally a deep purple apdlty named Wild Purple. My one disappointment from this range was that they weren't as easy to apply, and they needed an extra coat to get that finished look.
My only one piece of advise, and this goes when buying polishes offline from any retailer, is to search for a colour swatch online before you buy. As most places just give you a block colour closet to the polish.
Let me know if you have any recommendations for polishes that I should try!
