Retail Therapy

Down in the dumps?  What better therapy is there than buying crap you don't need?  I know money can't buy love or happiness ... wait! Or can it? ... only for a second ... umm so I bought hours worth ...
I have lemmings, but hardly ever quench them purposefully.

So when I just happen to find these, my heart did a back flip.



I love you Ross.  Not only do I get to dress for less, but you help me find rainbows.







.... and you have Color Club





... lots of Color Club





Color Club - Beyond the Mistletoe

In my depression, I took my nails down real short.  I actually really like them.






BACK UPS ... always necessary.


I love going to gently used Walmarts.








I find beauties like Heart Breaker :)




Pure Ice - Heart Breaker over China Glaze - Wagon Trail

I seriously love my nubs.













Blue and Green at the same time!












YOU NEED THIS.
Go find a Walmart in the middle of nowhere.













You know me and sheer whites ....















Essie!


















I don't own much Orly ... that has been remedied.








Finally ... these are mine.

China Glaze to the rescue!! Lots of backups and new kids.




ICE ... Exactly like KleanColor.
Okay I am done ... for now. 


You guys are the best.  <3

    Hey sweetie,
    Hope you are feeling a little better :)
    Just to commiserate with you, I also shortened my nails a big deal after all the disasters in my life. I actually love my nubs too.
    It feels good to change a little when we feel like this.

    *hugs*

    I was so happy to see your new post in my reader!! Epic haul!! I think that when bad things happen, we do whatever we feel to recover: file nails, change haircut, buy loads of polishes, even have a tattoo (that is me).
    Big big hugs :*

    Heh I remember back when I still had a Hudsons CC I was upset about some jerk that pissed me off so I went and spent 300 bucks on clothes most of it on clearance. I think that was the first time I realized I might have a shopping problem lol

    Ah, girl, I wish I had stores like you do, where you can buy cheap polish, if you're lucky to find them, it looks like such a nice hunt. Hunting down cosmetics always makes me happy. :)

    So, Loodie, just how many bottles of polish do you own??
    Your posts make me want to step outside my 'nail box'! I bought a bottle of a dark blue with a teal shimmer by Wet n Wild (sorry, I am not at home and don't remember the name... I'll get back to you on that) I am building up the courage to use it! I'll keep you posted!

    I'm not telling, mainly because I don't know. Ignorance is bliss; that's how I like it! :D Unless you stop reading nail blogs right now, you WILL be purchasing a Helmer in no time. ;) Find an IKEA quickly.

    Come over to the dark side ... it's a really fun place!! <3
