I was planning on doing a monthly haul post to show what goodies I picked up during the month, however it is June 5th and I already have almost 50 polishes for this month alone. AAAAK. I'm on an extreme "low-buy" (let's face it - I simply do not have the will power to do a "no-buy") for the rest of this month. That being said, my birthday is in July so I can make myself feel better by thinking they're early birthday gifts to myself. That, and the fact that I got almost all of these polishes for 50% off! :)
Also, a sidenote because I feel it's important: this post is in no way, shape or form me bragging. I work hard for my money and this is how I choose to spend it. Polish is my hobby, my indulgence. I am very fortunate to be able to have the things I have - I do not take it lightly or for granted.
That disclaimer is for any possible hate that might be generated by this blog post. I truly hope there will be none.
Okay, let's indulge! :)

If you're counting, that's 44 bottles of polish. The mini bottle you see in the very front of the first picture is a mini sample size of Poshe quick dry top coat that I got as a free sample with my Sally's purchase. Woot. Free samples?! I'm all over that!
I found the OPI's on clearance for $4.99 and the newly released L'oreal's I found on sale for 50% off at $3.99 a pop. Most of the Orly's I purchased for $3.99 as well, on clearance. Same goes with the Icing: $2.49 for those. Three of the China Glaze (the holiday ones) I found in a 3-pack for $3.99 - unreal, right?! I was ECSTATIC.
If there is anything that you would like to see swatches and/or fun mani's with, let me know in the comments. Any requests in the comments or emails, I try to do within a week or two so never hesitate to ask! I love making my readers happy. :)
