collection summary and plans/ rezime kolekcije i planovi

sada kada ste upoznati sa mojom kolekcijom, sortiranoj po markama, vreme je da otkrijem moje planove vezne za kupovinu lakova. napravila sam neku vrstu pakta sama sa sobom i trudiću se da ga se pridržavam do kraja ove godine.

now that you saw my entire collection sorted by brands, it is time to reveal plans regarding buying new polishes and some kind of resolutions i made to myself that i will try to keep up with until the end of this year.

kada gledam lakove uredno raspoređene u kutijama, uopšte nemam osećaj da ih je toliko koliko ove cifre kažu. tek kada sam ih vadila po brendovima za slikanje, malo sam se uplašila :D

when i look at my polishes, neatly placed in their boxes, it doesn't look like i have too much of them. only when i started taking them out for having them photographed :D, i realized that i have more than i think.

i dalje sam, po brojkama, u nekoj granici koju sam sebi postavila. ipak, 14 ih je kod dečka, a 95 su lakovi koje koristim (topere ne računam). ali, da bih nastavila da ih kupujem bez griže savesti, napravila sam sledeći plan do kraja 2012:
1) nastaviću da kupujem 1-2 high end lak mesečno.
2) pošto sam videla slike catrice noviteta za jesen, planirala sam da uzmem 9 od 10 lakova (naravno, ako mi se neki ne bude svideo uživo, preskočiću ga). tu sebi neću praviti ograničenja na mesečnom nivou i sl, jer znam da ću svaki put obigravati oko štanda :D
naravno, planiram sve sem 875..

i am still in the upper limits that i imposed on myself. i have 14 polishes at my boyfriend's back home in serbia, and 95 polishes that i use (not including toppers, of course), but, in order to continue getting new polishes without feeling bad, i made some ground rules for nailpolish shopping until the end of 2012:
1) i will continue to buy one or two high end polishes a month.
2) since i already saw pictures of the new catrice polishes, and set my heart to get 9 out of 10 (poor lobster, the only one not on the list!), i will allow myself to do so when they arrive.

of course, i plan all but 875.

3) za bilo koju drugu kupovinu, prvo moram da potrošim neki lak. tj, prazna bočica za punu!

to su mi neka generalna pravila, ali neću biti preterano rigorozna jer je ovo ipak neko malo zadovoljstvo. smatram da pravim razumne kupovine, uvek proverim swatcheve na netu, ne pravim previše duplikata (ako i imam neke slične lakove, to je urađeno namerno :D) i retko kad omašim sa bojom i uzmem nešto što mi ne stoji.

poslednji lakovi koje sam kupila (ne računajući dior lagoon kao mesečnu high end dozu) su bili depend holo lakovi oko 17tog jula.

planiram da pravim preseke na dvomesečnom nivou, nešto tipa šta sam u ta dva meseca potrošila a šta kupila. nema laži, nema prevare :D

edit:

ovo je pisano nekih nedelju dana pre objave, tako da sam u međuvremenu uzela 7 od 10 catrice (oh my goldness i it's all i can blue su već bili rasprodati, njih uzimam čim se pojave).

3) for every other polish, i should empty one bottle before getting it, the general idea being "one out, one in"!

nothing here is set in stone. nail polishes are one of my little pleasures and i don't want to be too strict. i believe that i am a sensible buyer, i always check the swatches online before the purchase, i don't have exact dupes, and if i have similar shades, it was done on purpose :D i rarely get the colors that don't look good on me.

the last polish i bought (not counting dior lagoon as a monthly dose) were two depend holos around 17. 7.

i plan to make summaries every two months, so we'll see how this goes!



edit:

i wrote this post about a week before i published it, so i already bought 7 out of 10 catrice polishes (oh my goldness and it's all i can blue were already sold out, so i am def getting them when the store restocks).
