No Buy July

For most nail polish addicts July is known as No Buy July, meaning you cant buy any nail polish for the whole month! Myself and a few other Aussie girls have decided to attempt No Buy July. It's day 3 and I'm still going strong! (haha)


Some of us have made exceptions for a few polishes that we are allowed to buy to help us survive the no buy. I know that it's technically cheating but it will still be a big decrease from the number of polishes we would normally buy in one month. My exception is the China Glaze - Bohemian collection which is due to be released sometime this month. Even if I buy it this month it probably won't arrive until August because postage takes two weeks. 

I have over 100 unswatched polishes and I just got the new Bundle Monster plates so that should keep me busy through July. Are you taking part in No Buy July?
