I did it!
I made it through No Buy July! I didn't think I could resist buying polish for a whole month but It got much easier as time went on. I didn't even buy the China Glaze - Bohemian collection like I thought I would. I decided they weren't duochromey enough.
You may be wondering why there is a picture of nail polish in this post if I successfully completed No Buy July. Well.. my best friend went to Europe and brought me back some polish souvenirs. They were gifts so technically I didn't buy any polish in July.

Now I'm off to buy some of the polishes from the piCture pOlish Blog Fest to celebrate!
What a good friend you have, buying you pretty polishes like that! I love the Deborah Milanos. They look really great! :)
ReplyDeleteI know :) I can't wait to try them.
DeleteOh, wow, you are strong willed - but it was nice that you weren't totally without new polish LOL
ReplyDeleteThat and not having money to spend on polish also helped :P
DeleteCongrats and I can't wait to see those Deborah Milanos swatched :)
ReplyDeleteComing right up! :)
DeleteWell done on No Buy July! I failed... bought more polish this month than I have in past months... my justification, they where all on sale :P
ReplyDeleteSales are so hard to resist!
DeleteI ended up buying stamping plates & 1 clearance polish at sally's and bought some sinful.colors on clearance (before knowing their stealing issue) but that was all I tried hard not to but I can't resist sales! Lol
ReplyDeleteSome girls did Low Buy July instead, sound like you succeeded in that. :)
DeleteAstra and Deborah Milano are Italian :)

ReplyDeleteI swatched a few today, the Deborah Milanos are really nice! :)
DeleteCongrats!) I also was disappointed by Bohemian collection. I'm thinking of buying some Nubar duochromes. They're great, though I don't like their colors much.
ReplyDeleteI have a few of the Ozotic Multichromes so they will be enough for me. :)
DeleteWow- you did great. I broke after two weeks and was really bad on the last day of July and bought SIX polishes!
ReplyDeleteWell you did a Half No Buy July. :)
