This is what I have bought since then.
Nothing.
Yeah, you heard me. I haven't bought a bottle since June.
6 months.
Well technically I have. But they have all been gifts. But nothing for me.
Prior to June I bought some polish but not a lot as I knew I was going on vacation. I was saving up money not only for that(And that included polish $$$). July and August I just didn't buy any. When it comes to polish I'm like that child who's a super picky eater. Rarely do I think "Wow I need this entire collection!".
Anyways after September is a different story. My friend drinks Coke EVER DAY. And I always bother him about it. I told him I bet he couldn't go a few months without coke. He said he could and would if I gave up buying polish (with the exception of gifts) till January 1st 2013. Since I had already been doing it for a few months prior I said yes.
It's a bit harder to resist during the holidays though. If there's any collection I'm going to fall in love with it's going to be a Christmas/winter collection. Not only that but the sales...*groan*. So I don't look unless it's for a gift.
I think it's well worth my friend not getting diabetes right?
ETA: How long do you usually go without buying polish?
Good for you! I've spent hundreds in the last few months. >.< Also, that cat gif is completely hypnotizing. I can't stop watching it.
ReplyDeleteAh very good! I'm in a good place right now where I feel like I don't need to buy anymore polish, I hope it stays like that for a while!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to agree with the title of this post. :)
ReplyDeleteI splurged on the Ciate daily mini mani.
ReplyDeletedoes a christmas gift to yourself count? hehe I'm newly addicted to polish and stamping - but after 3 weeks of buying and buying, I can survive with what I've got for a while now :)
ReplyDeleteholy crap, I cannot imagine myself going even one month without getting a new bottle!! Only 23 more days until Jan 1st though +))))
ReplyDeleteHeh, I was expecting something totally different, yet this is a great title and post. Congrats! To me 6 months sounds like sci-fi, completely impossible, since I am currently trying for a no-buy and I haven't bought anything in over 3 weeks, which is huge for me.
ReplyDeletehaha you crack me up! great way to help your friend though :)
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, 6 months?! I am immediately doing shame-face. I always try to hold out (it's not like I NEED any more flippin' polish!), but I still spend quite a bit on polish. Definitely too much. Maybe you're inspiring me, though? I sense a New Year's resolution coming on...
ReplyDeleteWOW, I feel a bit like the cat on the gif LOL - that's amazing...
ReplyDeleteBut only the other day I said to myself, you have waaayyyy to many untried polishes, so it would be nice not to buy more for a while - but I doubt I'll execute the plan...
I am impressed!!!! I try to only buy very few until the sales and then again until RBL releases the Fan Collection. If I feel the itch to buy I just look at my untrieds and then its like NO WAY!!!
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl! :D As for me, I have a $20 per month limit for nail polish, so I don't end up with more than a few bottles a month. :-)
