My wonderful FOREVER blogger friend Jen has been working on gathering me up some wonderful goodies that are only available in Japan. Jen volunteered to pick me up a few things when she heard how much I have been wanting these. I couldn't dream of a better friend than that! After a did a little research on this polish brand called TiNS, I found out that it could only be purchased in Japan, and they do not ship to the US. I even tried emailing the company direct, but to no avail., they would not ship to the US. I could not find these on Ebay, either. Believe me when I tell you I S.E.A.R.C.H.E.D. I mean I S.E.A.R.C.H.E.D.!!! I was able to find one lady that would sell them to me, but I felt like she was trying to rip me on the price, she wanted to charge me $17.00 ea and then about $30-$40 on the shipping. Of course I had no way to tell if she was over charging me or not, all I could find on these polishes was in Japanese. Either way, I could not afford nail polish at that price, no matter HOW much I wanted them. I had pretty much given up all hope of ever owning my very own TiNS nail polish.
All of that is a nightmare to me now, since SuperJEN showed up, with a big "PR" (Polish Rescuer) emblazoned on her chest, and to my rescue she came!!! Jen I truly cannot thank you enough for these wonderful polishes you took the time to locate (and found on sale!!!!!!) and ship to me! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This is honestly the best gift I can remember getting in a long time. It is right up there with my birthday present I got last year - DINKY! Does that tell you how much these mean to me?
Jen was thoughtful enough to send me my change back, too, although it is of foreign currency! HAHA, I keed I keed! She was thoughtful enough to include this in my package for my son! She thought it would be something he would enjoy taking to show and tell! How sweet and thoughty (my mom's way of saying thoughtful) is that? He will love these!
Jen also included the cutest little erasers for my son too! The ones on the top are Sushi, the ones in the middle are noodles with little chop sticks, and the bottom one is a bottle of Sake with little cups! I would not have any money left if I lived/visited Japan! They have such CUTE things and I am such an impulse buyer! Brooke + Japan = Brooke broke and Japan rich! lol
Gradation liquid with her handwritten instructions in English for me!! Yes!! I can't wait to try this out!!
My wonderful TiNS!!! (More pics of these to come!)
My whole haul she sent me!
Jen included lots of little stickers too! I am so excited about using these. The little chicks on the bottom right are screaming for me to use them on that pastel colored nail polish I just swatched.
And then, just when I thought Jen couldn't get any higher, she did! Jen included two more nail polishes out of the goodness of her heart :)
This is a kind of dusty, light pink with tiny, flakey gold shimmer through out. Very gorgeous indeed, my lady!! :)
I'm loving this bottle! It is such an unusual shape, I just loves it! This is another sort of dusty color. This one is what I would call a rose color and it has the same tiny, flakey shimmer to it to, only this one is silver looking.
Both of these are right up my alley, girl! I am loving both of these and can't wait to try them out! Thank you again :) I owe you big time.
ON TO THE TiNS!
These really need to be enjoyed in silence. Just gaze upon all this glittery goodness!
