And The Winner is.. And Some Tips For Nailswatches!

Hi all!

It took a little longer than I said, but I hope you'll forgive me.. Since I asked you to fill in some things in the giveaway form, I asked my sister to help me and pick the winner, so your answers would be taken into consideration (because nice/good/funny/cute answers are always a plus!). Let me make it clear that my sister has less than nothing to do with the nail polish community. She doesn't like my np (to put it lightly) so I was very thankful that she agreed to pick a winner. She doesn't know anyone that is active within the nail polish community but me, so she couldn't possibly have favored anyone. And I really hope everyone will remember to follow publicly next time so I don't have to exclude you from entering..

Having said that, let's get to it.. The winner of OPI Damone Roberts 1968 is...




Martje! She had to share this in the "Rave or rant, or just babble a bit!" section of the form:

I just want to have a major rant about the Kruitvat in town ggrrr they always stock up the latest editions very very late...which result in sold out immediatly and most of the time I`m too late to participate in those...even though I try visit them every day!! ( my work is in the same street) Ssooo I want to have a metallics collection polish :S But I`ve been viting the store for 1,5 week each day, and still they don`t have it, nor can they tell me anything and specially they are not willing to put some aside for me. Boehoee!! If they don`t have it by Monday I`m gonna make a complaint on their website! :) that was my rant, thnx for letting me haha

That's so sad! Our Kruidvat only got one bottle left when I came there, tops.. I totally know what you mean! Congratulations on winning a bottle of pretty! I'll email you for your address, please reply to this email within 48 hours :)

I also asked you if you had any tips to make Nailswatches better. I got a whole lot of compliments, so thank you for that! You all made me turn scarlet! Some of the tips I got that I will try and work on (or pay more attention to):
- Nailart (and tutorials)
- Comparisons
- Konadicures
- Marbles
- NOTD's

I also got a couple of tips/comments on more personal stuff and I was asked to show my picture on the webz.. I don't think I'm ready for that, I like to be somewhat anonymus to be honest.. But what I will do is to try and make it a bit more personal on some levels.

A massive THANK YOU to all of you who participated in my giveaway and of course for reading my blog. I can't say this enough, but it really means a lot to me!

I wish you all a nice Friday and a great start of your weekend! :)

Giveaway Winner!

Hi all!

So my Teeny Tiny Giveaway ended last night. A little reminder of the prize:

Eight polishes from Lizzie Foxy Fingers.

I had to exclude some of the entries, because some people entered after the giveaway closed and I had a couple entries that I couldn't match with the followername.

There was a total of 47 entries, that I put in The Hat. I shuffeled the names three times and let The Hat pick the winner. Without further ado: the winner is....

Michelle from The Lacquer Files! Congratulations!

I want to thank everyone for entering in this small giveaway and of course I thank you all for reading. Without my readers, I wouldn't have as much fun in writing this blog as I do now, so I thank you all for that <3

Giveaway winner!

Hi all!

I know it's a day early, since I said I would draw a winner tomorrow, but I couldn't wait so I entered all the giveaway entries in a spreadsheet! Unfortunately, not everyone read the rules carefully enough, so I had to eliminate some of you. I'm sorry, but the rules are there for a reason!

Anyway, I have a winner! Here's a little reminder of the prize:

A brand new bottle of Satin Passion from the Orly Satin Hues collection.

And the winner is... *drumroll please*
