China Glaze, Barielle, and Misa Nail Polish Hauls

Here are some hauls I made recently. I've been on a roll after discovering this hole-in-the-wall nail supply store in our neighborhood that sells Misa for $2 each, China Glaze for $2.50, Essie for $3.50, and O.P.I. for $4. Amazing prices, eh? Ever since I've discovered this store, I absolutely refuse to buy nail polish at ULTA or Sally Beauty supply anymore because their prices are social sins compared to the ones at the nail supply store. ULTA sells O.P.I. for $8.50. Give me a break.

Here are some colors I got from China Glaze. Afterglow is a bronzey shade that would be good for fall. I really don't own a lot of blues, especially the lighter ones, so Caribbean Blue is a welcome addition to my stash. Recycle is my favorite of the bunch. This is a very well-known shade among polish enthusiasts because of the edgy color. I would love to layer Let's Do It In 3D over it, a beautiful grey holo. Rich & Famous is a barbie pink that I hope would work well with my skintone. I was iffy on getting it but got it anyway because the price was good. Cherish is from the Romantique collection which would work great as a Konad polish. Golden Enchantment is a gold holo which would work well layered over golds and warm colors.



Also from the same nail supply store, I got these Misas for $2 each. I love the consistency, quality and staying power of Misa. The colors are amazing as well. I fell in love with Wishing On A Star. It's black with overwhelming silver speckles. It's so beautiful. I've been meaning to get Green With Envy for a long time now - a beautiful yellow green that reminds me of MAC eyeshadow in Bitter. For Women in the Know is a shimmery light mauve-ish pink that would look great for work, and Beautiful is a shimmery peachy pink that truly deserves its name.



During Barielle's outrageous Labor Day weekend sale, I snagged 29 (yup, you read that right) polishes from their website. If the polishes were originally $8 each and the sale brought down the price to below two bucks a pop, you would think about getting a few as well. I don't regret it. The colors are nothing short of breathtaking. I literally gasped when I pulled out the first polish out of the package, Blackened Bleu. It was that gorgeous in the bottle. I did a nail look with some Konad images using this polish a few days ago, and my friend loved it. It's a beautiful black with sapphire sparkle. Cotton Candy is a blushing pink shimmer that looks dainty. Bikinitini is a hot, sexy pink shade that should be a staple in every polish stash. Date Night is a metallic green that I can't wait to wear as I love greens. Hidden Hideaway is another sparkly deep purple that would be an amazing pedicure color. Berry Blue is a cream navy blue that I bought to work with Konad nail art as a base color.

I have 23 more polishes from Barielle to feature on this blog, so watch out for those. Swatches are coming up as well.
