Woo and ugh

impyLet's begin with the ugh: While searching for my final Holo Taco polish to swatch (we'll get to that in a sec), I found my stash of perfume samples that I'd intended to actually go through and try... sometime last year? Anyway, decided to grab one and try it. I was even smart enough to spritz it on the cardboard cutout that holds it before wearing it. Yeah, it's... a lot. I'm getting a headache from it, which is a bummer.
Woo! : I've been going through my nail polishes for the last forever (I mean, I do keep adding to them) trying to swatch it allllllllllllll to various degrees of success. I realized last week that I was pretty much done with my Holo Taco collection, with the exception of maybe 10 or so polishes. After last week's swatches, I was down to four. Since I had to dig out my Easter polishes (we skittle for Easter) I figured I'd keep an eye out for the missing quad. I found two really easily and the third showed up when I went looking for my speckled Revlon topper. I then went digging through the bins the HT polishes could be in and nothing. I gave up, did my swatching (still need to topcoat things, self!) and had some breakfast. When I went back upstairs I went digging through the random places I vaguely remember putting polishes at some point when I was too lazy to put them back in their collection boxes. I eventually found it (huzzah!) in my Charlie Bears membership kit box from a few years ago.
So now all my Holo Taco polishes have been swatched and cataloged in my little spreadsheet.
Just in time for me to seriously consider making a small order to get their new topper. :P

I might have two orders out right now with funds set aside for another sale sometime this month. *whistles innocently* But I've been much better this year than the last few.
All hail the temporarily paused for longer than possibly intended projects! I have quite a few myself.
