Recent Haul: Essie Nail Polish!

So recently i came to have the  knowledge that we were able to purchase Essie nail polish from Cosmetics Fragrance Direct which, if you live in Melbourne will be able to find in all our DFO stores, Spencer Street and Uni Hill Factory Outlet in Bundoora. Usually Essie nail polish retails for about $18-19 in department stores such as Myer however in CFD they are selling for $6!! and $5 for the mini holiday collections, wow!  Although yes, the colours are very limited and probably old or excess stock but hey, colours are colours and if you like them then "last season" becomes irrelevant right? I ended up picking out some pastel colours that i had planned to get into and also the 2011 resort collection because unfortunately that's the only one they sold in the store i went to.

Overview of all the polishes i purchased :D


The Resort Collection



L-R: Da Bush, Fair Game, Your Hut or Mine, Lion Around  


It was so hard to control myself but i managed to settle on these 4 singles

L-R: Lady Like & Smooth Sailing





L-R: Spaghetti Strap & Bangle Jangle 


Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
I was also surprised to see they stocked the Seche Vite topcoat so I just grabbed one too while on the way to the counter.


There were a lot more shades that I was tempted to buy but I really had to limit myself as I'm not much of a nail person and it'll probably take me awhile to even try out just this much at least once each so we'll see how it goes.
I haven't had a chance to try out the nail polishes hence I have no swatches but if you guys would like to see swatches or any particular colour, let me know and i'll endeavour to do a post for you :)
