Layering NOTD: Chanel – Illusion D’Or over China Glaze – Midnight Mission and a haul

If only every day would be like today. I had two packages with nail polishes in the mail from my last orders and oh my.. if they would have arrived on two days I would feel a little less guilty haha.
Before I show you which haulus maximus makes me blush a little I’d like to show you my current manicure.

The minute I’ve received Chanel’s Illusion D’Or in the mail I already thought of nail polishes I could layer it on top of. One of my very first thoughts was China Glaze’s Midnight Mission from their Vintage Vixen collection which I then picked a few days ago.

Now I am already wearing this layering since Sunday and I don’t want to remove it because it is so pretty.
Let’s take a look at why I can’t stop staring at my nails:

Layering NOTD: Chanel Illusion D'Or over China Glaze - Midnight Mission

China Glaze – Midnight Mission, two coats
Chanel – Illusion’Dor, one coat

Sigh.. do I need a backup of Illusion D’Or?

But now let’s take a look at my embarrassing huge nail polish haul.

From the left to the right:
Zoya: Edyta, Julieanne, Cheryl, Carrie Ann, Kym, Kelly, Shawn
Orly: Lollipop, Cotton Candy, Bon Bon, Pixy Stix
Nubar: Fiery Red, 2010 (twice)
+ A nail polish which prefers to remain anonymous

If nail polishes could talk:

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

* Midnight Mission was sent to me by PR for review consideration. For more info please view my disclosure.

That’s the best combo of Illusion D’Or I’ve seen!

WOW! Illusion d’Or looks gorgeous! *must have* )

Ok, so I can see why you don’t want to take it off! lol I don’t want you to either. It’s gorgeous!!

And I am so super excited to see Julieanne!

I need to haul some Nubar! I have to get 2010 since I can’t find Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure ANYWHERE, and while I’m at it I might as well get a ‘normal’ Nubar or two, right?

P.S. I totally cracked up over the ‘talking’ nail polish bottles! That was awesome.

Love the little speech bubbles, lol. I need to try Nubar polishes someday.

That’s the prettiest combination I’ve seen with Chanel Illusion D’Or. I wasn’t sure if I’d made a mistake buying the polish but if I can get it to look that pretty, I’m happy.

Susanne said on August 2nd, 2010 at 17:18

You got an awesome haul!!

Vanessa said on August 8th, 2010 at 15:41

Just out of curiosity – where did you get your Illusion d’Or? The ones I’ve seen on ebay were horrendously priced..

the-swatchaholic said on August 8th, 2010 at 17:45

With the help of a great girl I got it from the chanel online store, Vanessa.

Pinch said on August 10th, 2010 at 08:58

Oh I love that combination! Wow, that’s so pretty. I was finally OVER Illusion d’Or and now this. I have to walk away from here right now!

Vanessa said on August 10th, 2010 at 18:22

Uh, I hate it when online stores only ship their stuff to the states. I don’t understand how they don’t see all the potential customers overseas. Lucky you!
