Even though I have had trouble with my nails and I am now officially a Girl On A Budget, I still managed to amass a little haul during the week. I have really been conscious of my spending habits lately, so I haven't been buying as much polish as I normally do. I can't remember the last time I made an e-tailer haul! Imagine how I feel seeing all these amazing new collections coming out!
Anyway, on to my little haul! I had made a trip over to Sally Beauty Supply to pick up a cuticle pusher (I swear that was all I went in to get!) and I saw some new Savvy collections. Savvy is now called Savvy Femme Couture and is in a redesigned bottle: they kept the awesome square bottle but updated to a new cap and label.
Old Savvy versus New Savvy! Who wins?
I looked at both collections, one called Pop Rocks and another with a fairy tale theme. I immediately picked up Prince Ala Charm and left. The next day I felt a nagging feeling and decided to go back to get the rest of them (except for Knightly Armor, which I wasn't crazy about) in addition to two colors from China Glaze's Vintage Vixen collection: Emerald Fitzgerald and First Class Ticket. I also had to get Nina Ultra Pro Sailor, a deep blue creme.

The fairy tale Savvy's are pretty appealing... they are all shimmery. I am actually not quite sure how to explain their finish, but they look like they will be amazing layered. They were each on clearance for $1.99, so I figured I can't lose.

Yesterday we went to the mall and I bought two new-looking Hot Topic colors, a bright blue and bright purple creme. It seems like most of Hot Topic's new nail colors are cremes! I was about to swatch them on my thumb, but in true Hot Topic polish tradition both of the brushes are wonky mops.

I am pretty much dying to swatch all these and start experimenting with the Savvy colors. I hope my nails will come around soon! I am tired of them looking like a hot mess!

Nice hauling! I wanted Prince ala Charm but my Sally didn't have any of that one left. I'll manage to go on somehow. :) I think new Savvy wins; I like the handle shape better (and the black is classic, too).
Sorry about your nails; I've been battling peelies again myself.
I really like the new Savvy, too! The bottles look more... fashionable. I love the new handle, it fits in my hand much better :D
thanks! got the gossip girl at tarjay!
Ahh I feel your budgetgirl pain! Atm I have plenty of money but I can't spend it because my motorcycle is being repaired and the numbers I was given for that in advance didn't look pretty.
I like the new bottle best, too bad they probably don't sell that brand over here, the colors look very nice in the bottles.
