Weekly Polish Haul - Week 30

I can´t claim I increased my nail polish collection very much during my three weeks of summer vacation. Mostly to the fact that we do not have any internet connection at our cottage and we are spending most of our time outdoors with our dog. But when I got back to town from our summer paradise in the country, these two beauties were waiting for me in our mailbox.
 
Cirque "Royal Hawaiian" & Kicks Sugar Lacquer "Rose Quartz".

Brand Presentation - Primark Beauty

This brand is so budget. As budget as it can be (as in not worth buying at all). Sure enough, the glitters are possible to do something with. If you have a lot of patience, and a lot of time.
I find nothing at all searching online about the brand. On the bottles it says they are produced in China (no surprises there) for "Primark Beauty, Dublin". For some reason I got the idea they are Danish, perhaps due to the brand name, but can find no indication of that.
Either way I am showing off my Primark Beauty polishes this week. Even though they are worthless to use as nail polish the bottles sure are cute!

The creme polishes.
 
The glitter toppers.

Weekly Polish Haul - Week 26

Finally a great polish haul week! All thanks to my hubs of course. He ordered some Glam Polish at their web shop and shipped it straight to Sweden for me to get super fast! Usually I ship them to his brother in the USA to save the shipping cost and skip the customs fee but we got lucky this time and got them right in the mailbox without any problems.

Glam Polish "Did You Catch That", "Oh Whale" and "Not on Porpoise".
 
As of today I am starting my summer vacation. I will be free from work for three whole weeks and the plan is that we will spend as much time as possible in the country with our dog. I will most possibly not blog at all during this time since we don´t have any computers or internet in our little cottage. I´ll see you all at the end of July!!
