Black Friday Haul

I rarely post polish hauls, but what came in the mail last week was too good not to share.

This year's Black Friday shopping was tough for me.  Why?  Limited budget and too many nail polish sales.  I had to be very picky.  I limited myself to only two indies and one "non indie" brand.  How did I choose?  Well Zoya was having a great special where if you purchased $72 in product, you got the largest Dream Box for FREE!  Since Zoya is my favorite brand, this was a no brainer.  As far as the indies went, I chose to purchase only from indies I did not already own.  I also purchased some of the Bundle Monster plates while they were on sale, plus a 10% off valued customer discount I had from my last order.  So guess what showed up at my door, all in one day!  Wanna see?

 Epic nail mail!  I seem to have missed one package in the pic, but don't worry, you will see it's contents soon.  The of the bubble package on the left is some stamping plates that I had preordered some time ago from Vivid Lacquer.  There was a special unexpected surprise in there too, an extra plate!  I hope to get them on the blog next week.  The bubble package on the right is the Bundle Monster plates.  I purchased the 2010 Revised Collection, which has larger images of their first release.  The first set from 2010 has miniscule full nail images.  However, I have always had a soft spot for them because they were my first stamping collection purchase.  Needless to say, when I heard they were re-releasing the collection with larger images, I was ecstatic!  The box in the middle is one of the indies, Wonder Beauty.  And of course, there is the HUGE box from Zoya!  So ya want to see the polishes I got?  Sure you do!  First up, the indies.

Wonder Beauty, from left to right:  Vortex, Funnel Cloud, Storm Chaser and Cranberry (my first thermal polish!)



















I Love Nail Polish Mutgen (H)  and Birefringence (H).  Look at that multichrome (which they call Ultra Chromes)!  And the (H) means that it is also holo, as you can plainly see in the pic on the right.  Be still my beating <3!

And finally what really made my heart sing!  Beautiful polish gives me the warm fuzzies, but FREE gorgeous polish?  Words fail me, so let's make up a new term....hot wollies.

This was what I purchased to reach $72.  Zoya Remove + is my all time favorite polish remover.  It makes removal easier, conditions my cuticles, AND smells so good.  I have been wanting to buy some of the HUGE refill bottles and I also needed a new pump since one of mine died.  I added two of the Fall Pixie Dusts, Carter (left) and Chita (right).  These will both be featured soon!  Now on to the REALLY good stuff.  Here is EVERYTHING I got for free!

Half Time Polish Drying Accelerator (regularly $7.50.  I haven't tried this yet), mini Color Lock System (Remove +, Anchor Base Coat, Armor Top Coat and Fast Drops, a $22 value) and another 2 oz of Remove + ($4.60 value).

 
On to the REALLY exciting stuff, the Cheers To All Dream Box!  Twelve glorious colors and not a one already in my stash!  It is valued at $96!  Want a closer look?  Just know before you go on that I was so eager to get these pics taken, I couldn't even wait for the condensation to clear from the bottles (everything was practically frozen in the box).

 Left to right:  Ziv, Timo (in my wishlist), Black Swan and Dream (another wishlist dweller).

Cassedy, Payton (Wishlister), Sarah and Anaka

Dakota, Stacy, Rekha and Noot (another one on my wishlist).

So shall we figure this all out?  I spent just under $78.  The value of of all the free goodies....over $130!  Have you done the math?  Over $200 worth of product for a little under $78!  That's like getting over 60% off!  Plus I have a gorgeous box I can nestle all my favorite Zoyas in.  Now if I only had a mani cave so I could display them.  

Getting these packages all at once gave me that rare feeling that I used to get on Christmas morning as a child; unabashed joy!  Hot woolies all around!
