Recent USA Haul

Recently I went on holiday to Philadelphia in the USA. It was a girly shopping trip with my friend. Of course no 1 on the shopping agenda was nails!

I picked up a few polishes while I was over there. I have so many already that it's becoming hard to shop without picking up dupes!

L-R: Face Stockholm 'Glowing, Glowing Gone' , Fake Stockholm 'Neon Sunset', Nails Inc 'Porchester Square'

I picked up the Face Stockholms in J Crew of all places, where they were both on sale. These are even more neon in real life. The Nails Inc is a polish I have been craving for a while and came from the shop attached to the QVC headquarters in West Chester, PA. If you are ever stuck for something to do while in Pennsylvania, I actually highly recommend you visit. I have never even seen QVC and I was impressed with the studio tour.

L-R: Zoya 'Logan, Revlon 'Whimsical', Essie 'Shine of the Times'

I bought the Zoya in Ulta, a beauty shop I had been dying to go to. I had wanted this Zoya for months after seeing it in Toronto earlier in the year. The colour is amazing on.

The Revlon is a polish I have seen on a lot of blog posts before. I got this one in a drugstore. Finally, the Essie is a flakey polish which is quite hard to find now. I was delighted to find it in a shop in an outlet mall outside the city. It doesn't photograph very well, it's much more duochrome red/green. I was really surprised to see it there as it has been discontinued for a while.

Overall, I think I did really well and managed to keep myself pretty restrained! I did buy a Clarisonic however which I plan to feature in an upcoming post.
