Philly Haul

Hi everyone! Today I went shopping in Philadelphia, PA at some nail supply shops. It was my first time to any of these so I really didn't know what to expect. It was a bit chaotic because we went late in the day and there was a lot of driving and traffic. We originally had nine places to check out, but only managed to get to 6. I took a bunch of pictures for your viewing pleasure!

This is one of the places we went to.

Most of them had the new collections.

Lots of crackle polish!

I apologize for the blurriness. More crackles and Kleancolors.

Some brand I never heard of before. Too bad, because there was TONS lol.

Jade polishes.

The middle rack is China Glaze followed by Essie.

OPI and Duri at the end.

Discount bin! $1each. Sadly I didn't buy any.

Again, sorry its blurry. LOTS more crackle polish!

Color Club. There were about 3 of these racks in this store.

This entire aisle was OPI. 

And this aisle was ALL China Glaze!

A pile of Shatter!

Yes, I was in polish heaven today. These places were beyond amazing. I am a little disappointed though. I was hoping to find some holographics, and none of the places we went to had any. I got quite a few off of my wishlist though, and some extras. I plan on making a trip back to the one shop again soon!

Here is a look at what I bought:

L-R:  China Glaze Matte Magic, China Glaze Frosty, Orly Rock Candy, China Glaze Fairy Dust (for some reason this bottle is super holo, I wonder are there two versions?), China Glaze Matte Magic
China Glaze Man Matte, China Glaze Wireless Top Coat (2), China Glaze Man Matte
I got some great deals on these. Everything but the Orly was BOGO 50% off. Frosty and Fairy Dust were already marked down to $2, and the rest ended up being $3.74 each with the sale!

Close ups:

And believe it or not, I just bought this HOLO version of My Private Jet on ebay for $10.95 with free shipping!! I still cant believe it. I happened to see the listing right after it was posted on ebay. I don't think the seller realized what she had or else it wouldn't have been so affordable. The description didn't mention holo version, but in the photo you could see the flash of holo. I was hoping that the photo was the actual polish I would be receiving, and it was! I am so happy I came across it before some scalper bought it and marked it up $60 more before reselling it!

Just LOOK how gorgeous!! I have been staring at this polish all day. I might leave this one out and not store it just yet. I still cannot believe it is mine, and I found it at such a great price! Heck, I might even sleep with it under my pillow tonight LOL!

As if all these wonderful polishes weren't fantastic enough, I received an email from Smita at My Nailz a few hours ago. She contacted me because I was the winner of her 300 Follower Giveaway! I am so thrilled that I won! I get to choose 3 Joe Fresh polishes. Joe Fresh is a brand found in Canada. I only have 2 Joe Fresh so far, so I am excited to add more to my collection! Check out her blog and show her some love!
