October No Buy..........extension???
So I had full intentions of getting on here and ranting away about how hautelook.com is a bad website and they shouldn't keep a sale up after they have ran out of merchandise to sell BUT.....
Okay, so Hautelook.com ran a special last week on Orly for 4.50USD a bottle. I took advantage of this and bought waaaayyy to many polishes! I have been eagerly awaiting that email saying my order has been shipped.
Last night, my phone dings and to my utter horror I have an email from them stating that due to the overwhelming turn out for this event their stocks ran out and they would not be able to fulfill my order (enter a full melt down, I'm talking tears, incoherent babbling the whole 9! jk, It's just polish folks!!) So they would be issuing me a full refund and a nice credit to the website.
I check my pay pal this morning to make sure that the refund is pending and what do I see.........nothing, that is right folks not a dime had been refunded. I thought I would check on hautelook.com first to see if I had gotten any of the credit that I was supposed to receive and again what do I find?? NOTHING!!
At this point I am hopping mad (and I mean this literally! again, jk) so I decide rather than call and give them my full 2 cents worth (and I am not kidding on this one, I was a Sailor so I can curse with the best of them!!) I do a live chat with them only to find out that they made a grave error and my order is still on it's way!!
This on any normal occasion would be FANTASTIC news but, I guess I should mention I went on a little shopping spree last night in anticipation that I would be receiving my money back from my order!!! I think my NO-Buy may be extended beyond just October now!! (and the Hubby don't know any of this yet!!)
I have two mani's and one haul post that I need to get ready to put on here, hopefully that will happen tonight!!

Sunday Nail Challenge - Use French Tip designs
So for this weeks challenge in Adventures in Stamping, we were to use any plate with the French tip designs. This was my first time doing a full mani with french tip plates so I was more than willing to take on this new challenge.
I started with a new base coat (had some minor splitting on my right hand, and wanted to get something to try to help repair) So I picked up some Sally Hansen (I'm a Sally freak!!) Salon Manicure Base coat. I am trying this on for size and will let you know what I think after at least a week of wear.
I then decided to keep a more traditional French Manicure style and sponged just my tips with several coats of Orly "Decades of Dysfunction". This is a Great off white cream with just a hint O' pink. I may need to buy a back up bottle just in case it goes MIA (as with any polish I fall in love with seems to do!!!)
I was getting ready to stamp with my french tip design and couldn't resist the beauty that was staring at me from my work station (impulse buy when I picked up the new base coat.) so I ended up adding extra bling by doing a gradient with Orly "You are not alone" Beautiful glitter in Pink for Breast Cancer awareness.
Sadly, I didn't get pictures of the before stamping with either of the Orly's.
I then stamped with Sally Hansen's Insta Dry in "Silver Sweep" using plate BM-218.
As you will notice, I couldn't leave well enough alone and decided that I needed accent fingers so on my thumbs and ring finger I added stars from BM-05 using Kleancolor Metallic Red then accented further using purple rhinestones in the shape of stars. I essentially turned my Sunday challenge into a Breast Cancer Tribute through nails.
Hope you enjoyed this weeks glimpse into my stamping and polish addiction. Stay tuned because I went on a major nail spending spree and will be posting my first "haul" post. Which also means that I am "officially" on a NO BUY for the entire month of October, man is it going to be a LOOOONNNGGG Month!!!
