Confession time

I have a confession to make.
I broke my No Buy July.
Totally failed it.

I started off with a big stamping plate that I stumbled across on ebay and just had to have (of course!)
Then I made the mistake of visiting the new (and much easier to navigate) Transdesign website, Nailsupplies.co. I bought $55 worth (including shipping) of China Glaze, Essie, Color Club and OPI.
Then I got some Seche Restore, Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat and China Glaze Matte Magic top coat on eBay. Aaaand then I topped it off with the SpaRituals Earth Day pack of two gorgeous greens (I blame you, steffels!!!!) and a Nubar flakie.

*hangs head* for shame, Emma, for shame.

I almost made about three other orders too but managed to stop myself in the nick of time. See, I can show a little self restraint, it's just that most of the time I don't want to :P

I'm thinking of doing another no buy... but need some support. Whose with me!?

    October!!! Woah!! That's pretty full on.. I need to do it for at least a month tho... Alright, no buy August!
    Argh. I can't do it. Yes I can. Argh!!!

    Claire, it sometimes seems like no buys are pointless huh!? The amount I spend when I come off them is ridiculous!!!

    It wassss! As soon as I saw those polishes I couldn't stop thinking about them!! I did hold off for a good couple of days though :P
    Thanks! I've just realised I'm going to Adelaide in 3 weekends so it's going to be interesting :P

    This is why I can't go on a no-buy. I have very little self-restraint.

    I'm thinking of doing a no-buy, not for a set time but until I swatch and post all of my polishes. This will make me blog more, so its like killing (ouch) two birds with one stone!

    It'll be a while though, I'm yet to actually set my mind to it!

    I know what you mean, Renee :( I see something I want and just HAVE to have it :( I never used to be so bad when I lived in Adelaide but now that I live somewhere with so few shops, I just go nuts online :(
    That's a good idea, maybe I'll do that ... hrmmm... Argh it's too hard :(
