One Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway! ***closed***

Hey guys!!! My one year blog anniversary is fast approaching (July 5th) so I wanted to do a thank you giveaway to my followers. In one year I've learned so much, and met so many amazing people, some of which I consider great friends. I never realized how big the nail polish community really is! I have a lot of fun playing with my nails and have gone from a stash of nothing to almost 600 in a year.

There will be two prizes for this giveaway, first is two Deborah Lippmann polishes from the Footloose collection, Dancing in the Sheets and Let's Hear it for the Boy. Dancing in the sheets is a beautiful dark blurple shimmer, and Let's Hear it for the Boy is a light blue. (Swatches are from my own two bottles)

Second prize is two sets of Sally Hansen spring 2012 nail strips, one has multi-colored little birds, and the other is multi-colored butterflies, and a nail file with the same butterflies. They are both adorable and from what I've seen can't be bought anymore.

Rules for this giveaway are simple.

1. Be a GFC follower
2. Enter with the Rafflecopter widget below
3. Open internationally
4. Good luck and thanks!!

This giveaway is not sponsored by anyone including the companies the prizes are from. All items were bought by myself, all are brand new unused and unopened.

Help me, help you giveaway WINNER

Hey guys!! Thank you all so much for participating in my giveaway! Because of all of you I did win that contest!! I am super excited about it!!

I won a boudoir photoshoot worth $598 from Allie Lindsay Photography, it will be in an outdoor wooded area in San Diego, my makeup and hair will be done (I'll pay for that) she will have vintage furniture, and I decided for me to be dressed like a retro pin up girl, so honestly who WOULDN'T be excited?!

So after my rambling, we have a winner!!

Congrats Lee Ann Stoner from PaA!! She has 48 hours to respond, and if not I'll choose a new winner.




Once again thank you all for entering!! Once I have my shoot done, I'll make sure to share some pics ;)

Happy painting ladies!

Help me, help you GIVEAWAY! **CLOSED**

Hey guys, I am going to shamelessly ask for your help!! And in return you could win a prize!

I am currently trying to win a free boudoir photo shoot with an amazing photographer that I have been drooling over for over a year. She is really expensive so I haven't been able to get in, so this could be my shot!!

She is holding a contest on her Facebook page, the first person to 300 "likes" wins a free shoot valued at over $500! I am currently in the lead but only have 60 likes...still very far from 300!!

So since I'm broke (lol) this isn't a huge giveaway, but hey it's a few of my favorite things!

We have Seche Vite base coat, China Glaze Dorothy Who, China Glaze Ruby Pumps, and Seche Vite fast dry top coat. (these in the picture are mine so they are missing some, but NEW ones WILL be bought for the winner!)



All you have to do is go to Facebook,like this post by me.

Then fill out the quick form below! If you blog, Twitter or Facebook this blog you will get an extra entry, this is open INTERNATIONALLY and will run until I have the 300 likes needed. :) Oh and you must be a follower! Thanks and good luck!!

Breaking Dawn premiere giveaway! ***CLOSED***

Hey guys! it's giveaway time again! This time around it's for the Breaking Dawn premiere, yes you guessed it, I'm a twi-hard ;) Not horrible bad, but I do own the books and movies, and like to go to the midnight showings. That's about where it stopped, until it came to polish!

Some of you may or may not know of a brand called Essence, they are not a US based company, so it's harder to find other than the Essence colour and go minis you can find at Ulta. Well anyway they have "nail art twins" which consist of a base color, and a glitter top coat. All of them are named after famous couples.

In our case, we have Bella and Edward :) These beauties, as well as Picture Polish vampire are the polishes to win. I also have some temporary vampire bite tattoos, as well as water adhesive stickers of Edward and for those of you that like the werewolves, Jacob.

The amazing Ms. Traci has some beautiful swatches of Bella & Edward if you would like to see what they look like on. I don't personally know this person, but there are some great swatches of Vampire for you to look at as well :)






Please read all the rules on the giveaway form, and good luck!!

Hey lovely readers! I'm sorry I'm not posting as much as I was before, but as most of you know, fall semester has started. Only a week in and I'm already swamped!! It's okay, I'll kick ass and take names this semester just like all the others ;)

So those of you that have Walgreens near you, hit it up before tomorrow night!! They have all Sinful Colors polish on sale for 99 cent each! They are normally only $1.99 but $1 off per bottle, what polish-aholic could resist?! I went by last night and bought 29 bottles O.o now now...not ALL are for me! Four were for my boyfriends cousin who watches our little man while I'm in class, 5 are going into my giveaway, and the other 20 are for me lol. I also ordered Nfu-Oh 61 & 63 yesterday!! They got shipped today and I am uber excited about getting them! I order from beauty joint too lol...38 polishes total (all Kleancolors), 8 for my good friend Jessica (she is also getting a Nfu-oh 61 & 63, man I'm a good friend!) 2 for Ashley, and 5 for my giveaway, figure out whatever number is left and that's how many are for me lol. Then last but not least I went to Sally today and got my Seche Vite base and top coats, nail wheels so I can make some nail popsicle sticks (check them out here) acetone and cutical remover. Phew!!!

Now onto the swatch!!! I had my old man pick out the color last night, out of all the Sinful Colors I bought. He chose let's talk. It's a deep beautiful purple that is next to impossible to capture on camera. It looks blue in the picture but it's really not! I added some colored rhinestones to my ring finger in the shape of a flower for a little bling :)

Oh and how do you think I'm doing on my cleanup? I'm getting much better :D



What colors did I get you ask? Well I'll show ya! I won't list all the colors since there are so many, but if you want to know one of the names, email me (email is in my contact tab) or leave me a comment here and look for a reply :)






and last but not least, this will be part of my giveaway :D I plan on doing it close to the end of the month, that way I can get some more stuff together for it :)



That's all for tonight kids! Until next time! Happy painting!
