2013 was definitely my heavy purchase year, with 146 polishes in total. insane, i know!
FEBRUARY 32
ok, it's safe to say i overdid it again! there were a lot of blog sales and girls getting rid of their unwanted polishes, so it's not so bad as it looks (at least finantially)!
the catch of the month is most def waterlilly, that i was sure i'll never find.
also, there were some birthday presents, such as opi's set pink of hearts (from my bf, post coming soon), butter london from my dearest j and alessandro's crystal punk set, that i got from my dear m. as a pre-birthday gift!
tnx to marry j for getting china glaze holiday glow for me!

OCTOBER 12
can't even explain how the fact that this month i have a new in post, after two months of drought, makes me all fuzzy and happy inside!
it's been two months already since i move to this rather exotic place, and it took me just a couple of days to see that my nail polish shopping days are, if not completely over, than just not what i'm used to. there are no brands that i usually use, i found a couple of chanel and dior counters that have only the core collection, but i can forget about ysl. there is an essie stand, but i'm not an essie fan to begin with.
so, i knew that i'm going to have shopping madness when i went to defend my thesis. the end result is in the first picture, plus the unplanned essence in the second.
then, when i returned, my first order arrived, resulting in beauties in the picture no 2.
125-129 picture polish: pshiiit, a england: briarwood, dragon; dance legend android; essence the icredible

JUNE 16
to sum this month up, i succumbed to the collective zoya madness that occurred upon arrival of ornate and pixie dust collections to belgrade, opis should've been in the last month post, but i got them couple of weeks ago, i managed to find two ysl that are missing from the shelves in my town, didn't resist getting spring ball and finally got one chanel rarity and two summer collection beauties!

JULY 11
didn't overbuy this month, but i got quite few polishes as a gift, and there is one zoya that was bough last month, but i got it in july (liberty). the turning point was the arrival of illamasqua, so i had to get something and choose mottle and nomad.! i was lucky enough to win a prize at cayca's giveaway, and i finally got sephora nail design top coat 7 (better known as marryj topper.) of course, i couldn't resist getting a few zoyas.
