Lynnderella Heart Strings and Liquid Valentine (♥) + blush + February shopping list!

I wasn't going to post swatches of these initially, since they were gifts from Lynn, but someone requested them so... here you go. They are not available for sale, but hopefully they will be in future collections! I know there's a bit of a bar-glitter-fan club out there!

Heart Strings over Illamasqua Collide (the name is sooo cute!)




Liquid Valentine (or ♥) over Zoya Alegra





Since it's a new year, I am trying to curb my spending on cosmetics and nail polish. January didn't start out so good, because I bought 4 blushes (and swapped for 2 more). I seem to have a growing blush obsession (do you?!).

Here is my modest (modest to some, already crazy to others) blush collection:


And some subpar swatches, because I needed to make sure I didn't have dupes (you guys know me!)



So for the month of February, I'm going to make a shopping list for cosmetics/np and STICK TO IT (at least try).

Here is what I'm allowing myself to purchase for this month:

• A-Englands: I know I am totally late on the bandwagon here, but I recently decided to take the plunge and try this brand at the insistence of my NB friends. I plan on ordering the following through llarowe's shop (once they come back in stock): St George, Dragon, Order of the Garter, Tristam, Lady of the Lake, Galahad, Elaine, Perceval, and Guinevere. Do you have any of these? What do you think of my picks?
• Layla Holographics: These are not yet available in the US, but should be ~sometime~ at aveyou.com and zappos.com. You can get them from Layla's italian site, but I lost patience trying to navigate their site in Italian (lol). I'm going to allow myself to purchase 5: Mercury Twilight (silver holo), Jade Groove, Mermaid Spell, Ocean Rush, and Flash Black (black holo). I'm skipping the nude/pink/purple ones, because let's be honest, if I'm going to wear a holo, it's gotta be blue or green :D
• Zoya True collection: I only want three: Bevin, Skylar, and Lotus. The rest seem nice, but "nice" doesn't cut it anymore in my stash!! hehe.
• Jessica Cosmetics: Disco Diva duo and Smoky Feather (the Chanel Graphite dupe)

It's going to be a pricey month (well, contingent on when the Laylas will become available), but I am so excited! It's been a while since I have been excited about polish, and I think my year-end purging and Lynns really sparked my interest again!

Are any of you sticking to budget or fixed shopping list this month? Hmmm?

(p.s. Sorry for the off-topic makeup stuff, I was too excited and wanted to share. I know when I was first into np I hated seeing makeup posts mixed in with my nail blogs, so apologies!! XD)
