New Year, New Nail Polish!

It's no secret that I buy way too much nail polish. But I tend to get stuck on one brand instead of branching out. Most of the polishes in my latest haul are new brands for me! This haul is compiled from multiple orders, shopping trips and gifts. Here is what I have gotten so far since 2012 began! (Yes I know it has only been 2 weeks!)

 The whole shebang.


 Yes more Zoyas! Kieko and Reece were my choices from the People promo and I bought Twila and Noel from Birchbox my reward points.


My picks from Zoya's True Collection, such great colors for Spring! Tru, Bevin, Skylar and Lotus. 


Also released for Spring, Fleck Effect Top Coats! So excited to see Zoya create flakies that are not another dupe for Nubar 2010! Welcome Maisie, Opal and Chloe.


My local Fred Meyer finally had the OPI Holiday collection on display. I picked up Animal-istic and Warm & Fozzie, now my lone OPI has some company!


 Also at Fred Meyer I saw a display of LASplash colors. The only one that caught my eye was Embellished (3rd in from the right) but I did some browsing and found more colors at cherryculture.com. Sparkling Torpedo, Sparkling Tailscales, Sparkling Lime, Ocean Fairy, Golden Seahorse, Ocean Sprinkles, Embellished, Oyster Pink and Kiwi Hemp Cuticle Oil.


Since it was my first order from cherryculture I found a few others to add to my cart. Here we have LA Girl's Rock Star Collection in Electric Guitar, Double Platinum and Live On Stage.


I have also had my eye on Milani's 3D Holo Collection so I added Hi-Tech to my order.


Llarowe had a free shipping promo so I decided to place my first order! I can't get enough flakies! Both of these are Brazilian brands and totally new to me! HITS Samba & Fox Trot and Ludurana Trovao & Arco Iris.


 Another first. . .Cult Nails! I am dying to get my hands on Clairvoyant (AKA Unicorn Puke) but in the meantime I really wanted to try Maria's base and top coat. . .and of course some colors made their way to my basket. Get It On, Wicked Fast, Hypnotize Me and Living Water.


 I have had my eyes on Butter London's Dressing Table Duo all winter! I finally snatched it thanks to Zappos.(See previous post) The Black Knight and Tart With a Heart.


 One of my sisters spoiled me with a Sephora gift card for Christmas which meant more nail polish! Kat Von D just released these colors as part of her High Voltage Collection. Wonderchild, Mad Max and No Regrets.


 This baby also made it's way into my Sephora basket! My first Illamasqua in Radium!


The last part of my haul is this epic nail mail from a fellow nail polish-aholic! (Hey Savannah!) Before Christmas I saw China Glaze had a couple of holiday exclusives at Ulta. Unfortunately their website sold out before I had a chance to buy them and there is not an Ulta close to me. Savannah to the rescue! Not only did she find me Ultamate Holiday and Fireside Glow, she managed to fib and tell me they were sold out! Imagine my surprise when I opened my package from her! She was so sweet to also include CG Turned Up Turquoise and my first Color Club glitter!


Thanks for letting me share my haul with you! I plan on posting a new NOTD post tomorrow!
