Two finals exams and a fieldwork left (I'm counting on not having to do removals) then I'll be free.
Free to do what my heart pleases.
Can't wait.
So near, yet so far and my mind/body/soul is already on vacation mode. And it's been hard getting me to study but with this, I think I'll finally be able to get on a roll (you know, when you're studying on a good momentum? THAT!)
Today I got an email, an alert, from multiply.
At first I was like "Mmmmyeah" since I've known about it for a while now and I didn't really have anything in mind to get from Amazon. I mean, I don't go there often, that's for sure. I thought it was more for stuff stuff than anything I was really interested in. But I was bored of course, sick of studying, sick of my handouts (that I haven't really even touched much), so I thought of typing in Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure (I was originally aching to get Gosh Rainbow but the seller I asked hasn't gotten back to me =\). So did I find HT? Sadly, no. But the search suggested that I grab Nubar 2010.
NUBAR 2010. THE top player (to me) with the whole flakie craze. And what's better? It was on at less than $6 than the regular $7.49 that it goes for.
SWEET.
Before I could even think of anything else, I shot Suyen a PM (which she responded to in no time at all) and got a quote. I told her to hold that thought and looked around s'more :p
I tried looking up the Orly Cosmic FX polishes that broke my heart (:p) but nothing turned up either! I looked around brands and thought of polishes I wanted (and I really don't want a lot anymore since I have a lot already for someone like me who isn't exactly nail addict title worthy) then I remembered what made me want Orly's Halley's Comet in the first place.
That's right, OPI Catch Me in Your Net. I've been wanting this for the longest time and I know it's comparable to Zoya's Charla and the aforementioned Orly polish but when I look at photos, this is the particular one I want! It's this one! What can I say? I'm weird. When I have a shade of something, I call it a day (China Glaze For Audrey and Orly Gumdrop), but when I fall for something, I'm quite particular to it. I'm not a real legit nail addict (at least I'd like to think so) but I'm hella hella picky with colors and all.
My total? A mere 1010php (500 for nubar 2010 and 510 for OPI CMIYN). I know I said that I'd never pay over 500php for a polish but I think this is worth it :p I think for what I'm getting, the whole availability issue and all, the price is pretty fair. Plus I know I'm in good hands and I don't have to worry about picking up stuff from the post office and whatever! I don't think I could get this anywhere else at this price so yes, I can't stop raving.
I've been wanting a flakie polish since I first laid eyes on Nubar 2010 and I was going to settle for Gosh Rainbow but luck smiled my way and I got it cheaper than I would've on eBay! As for OPI CMIYN, I feel the same -- happy that I'd be getting what I actually wanted and not the alternative :p
Shipment comes mid-December so I can't wait for that little gift for me :D (I've been getting gifts for myself a lot lately, lol. Naked Palette, Memento Mori palette coming around next month I think, wth! XD I MUST stop D: )
If you're interested in seeing either of the polishes in action, just google 'em! They're pretty popular and there'll be tons of pics. If you wanna order from them as well, or order anything else from Amazon (or eBay, or Sephora, or VS, or other places) and are somehow unable to (due to shipping woes and whatnot) then I suggest you do turn to House of Flair aka MdE like I did :)
Now I'm ready to study!
What about you? Ever wanted something so bad, thought you couldn't get it, but somehow you got it eventually? [haha, that was a mouthful]
What do you think of flakies?
Fond of gifts for yourself?
