Nail Polish Canada Giveaway

Hello!

So I found out about this huge event called 'The Great Polish Giveaway' hosted by NailPolishCanada.com and it seemed awesome!
Basically there are 200 entries from 200 blogs. I'll quote the giveaway description:
"We’ve partnered with Cirque Colors, NCLA & Picture Polish to host the biggest giveaway ever.

One winner will take home up to 200 nail polish from over 10 different brands! The prize starts at zero, then bloggers can each pick a favourite shade to be added to the prize."

And here are a few words from the organisers if you want to be a part of the giveaway (at 21:18 EET):

"When you select a shade to add to the prize it gets removed from the allotment listed below.

Initially it was going to be a prize of only 125 shades but Cirque, NCLA, and Picture Polish stepped in and offered extras. We encourage you to pick a favourite from them to add!

Current Available Prizes to Add

• 54 - from any brand (must be an in-stock item on NailPolishCanada.com)

• 10 - from Cirque

• 9 - from NCLA

• 0 - from Picture Polish"

1. The prize starts at zero (but hopefully it’s much bigger by the time you read this)

1. Bloggers (that's you) are invited to post about the contest and in their post nominate any polish to be added to the prize

1. You get a custom entry (Rafflecopter) that can promote your Facebook / Twitter

1. The prize can keep growing and growing up to 200 shades (the more blogs that participate the bigger the giveaway gets)

1. Your blog is listed on the contest page along with the polish you added"

"

I chose to add the beautiful Zoya Bar. Unfortunately I do not own it so I googled swatches of it. It's a champagne matte glitter polish from the PixieDust collection.

I hope there'll be some of you to join this amazing giveaway. Below is the Rafflecopter widget which helps you enter the giveaway and increase your chances of winning easier.

Skittle Mani (+ Giveaway Entry)

Hello!

I won't talk too much tonight. Josephine at Rainbows In A Jar is having a giveaway! You can send your entries via email or upload them on her Facebook page until Aug. 5! More information right HERE!

This is my brand new skittle mani, and also my entry. I have to say, I expected to want to keep it for longer, but I knew the cleanup would take a lot of time, as glitter can be such a pain in the behind sometimes! So, the best thing to do -being in a hurry- was peeling off the polish.

"Seriously? Peeling it off?! Like, isn't there any other, more nail-damaging solution?!" Yeah, I know, this is the main reason that caused my nails to have ridges (and a razor slipping on my left thumb nail, but it's a bit better now) but I wanted to get that damn black glitter off my nails! I promise I'll soon do a glequin mani, though I'm not sure when..

Uhm, no, that black thing is definitely NOT a liquid sand/textured polish. I applied a thick coat of Essence Black Is Back over Leydi 700, dipped my finger in matte black glitter, then brushed the excess off and applied a coat of Leydi 700 to make the glitter stay in its place.

For the rest of the nails, I used the jellies, glequins and Fimo bows listed in my latest post. While my left ring nail chose to wear a cute bow, the right one seemed to hate it, so I applied the diamond glequins (which will also feature in a new Lacquer Land "Crazy For Greens" polish, along with the orange bar glitters and the golden glitter topper from Leydi).

I won't give you too many details about the 2 new mixes, just that one resembles coffee (at least, that's what I relate it to; and another detail: for this one, I had to ruin the lovely pink on my ring nails). That's it for me, I'll see you soon with a glequin mani. Kisses! xx

(Josephine said she loved both my nails and the tag. Get it? A rainbow in a jar? The blog's title? No? Oh, okay then..)
