Freecycle is how I came about the old Urban Decay polishes and the Cutex ones I showed you all earlier. Basically these people replied to an ad I had asking for any old or new nail polish. Through email they sent me their address and left the polish in bags on their porch for me to pick up - how awesome is that? Can't remember what blog I read about Freecycle on (let me know so I can credit you!)**** but it is awesome. I had two people contact me and I hope to get some more because I got some really awesome stuff!

ReplyDeleteWow...I worked at Bath & Body Works for almost 4 years (2004-2008 roughly) and I've never then or now seen the Color Drops nail polish. Its either really old or really new!
ReplyDeletewow, your Freecycle haul was way better than mine, LOL!! Those are some awesome colors!!
ReplyDeleteI love round bottles with a passion.
ReplyDeletePERFECT10 - I think they are old. I have a couple more Color Drops that my mom found at a garage sale, but I didnt' swatch them last night. One is yellow and the other is like a sheer white type color.
ReplyDeleteAMBERSKI - Thanks girl - I owe ya!!
JALJEN - I know me too! Do you remember the al a mode's by OPI from years and years ago?? They were in little round bottles too. I think I might still have one, will have to see if I can find it and swatch it, it was a bright neon pink (of course!).
Love that raisin!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. I still have some Bath and Body Works Color Drops polishes! Holy crap, it's so weird to see one of those again...
ReplyDelete<3

ReplyDeleteI love Kennebunk-port. I'm looking for the perfect red and that looks like it has just a hint of shimmer.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Revlon Dusk. So preeetiii...
ReplyDeleteWow love the BBW, Revlon and Maybelline. Awesome!

ReplyDeleteI did this today after reading this!! this is a great way to try new "free" things!! thanks!
Awesome, someone else who has the Liquid Express nail polish from Express. I have 3 bottles at home and they are so old, but I covet them ...I'll have to swatch them soon! Prom Dress is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting about Freecycle! I already got 2 people answering my request for polishes :D
ReplyDeleteJACKIE S - I wondered if that came from Express!! Man Express was THE place we used to shop at for school clothes (early 90's!) but I don't remember them ever having polish. This one came from a garage sale.
ReplyDeleteHEATHER - I hope you get some hidden gems! Please let me know what you end up getting, ok?!
I have fantasized about asking for polish on freecycle so many times, but it seems whatever I ask for (old cell charger, old dog leash, old flower pots) go totally unanswered. Maybe I just live in a very un-giving area! lol. But you've inspired me -- I'm going to go out on a limb and ask for polish! :)
ReplyDeleteBROOKE - Well good luck!! Please let me know if it works out for you, ok?
ReplyDeleteBrooke, I picked up some polish today! I'll be posting with pictures tonight or tomorrow, but I got a bunch of old OPI, some of it is from the 2003 British collection.
ReplyDeleteLove that Kennebunk-port, looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a pretty blog! I started my own nail polish blog recently (polishthis.blogspot.com).
What an amazing way to get polish. I love the first polish. That really looks so beautiful on you. The color looks fantastic with your complexion. Love the Ocean Green.
