Challenge Week 28: Gradient Nails

So, google and blogger decided to goof off some weeks back. It meant that I had problems getting access to my picasa web album through the blogger software, which meant: no pics on blog. Totally annoying and set me back two weeks on the challenge.

I shall not bore you further with excuses but will hurry on to the reason you are here.

I chose to do a layering gradient this time instead of a sponge gradient.

I have a very sheer jelly from Nfu Oh that I wanted to use for this mani, though the result turned out a bit meh.

This really doesn't look good up close but from a far distance it is quite pretty.

Unfortunately I had almost immediate shrinkage which for me is quite unusual.

The layering is really uneven and very visible on the middle finger.

I absolutely ADORE the bottles - I have a thing for corsets ;)

Cute, ain't it?

I finished off with a layer of CND Jade Sparkle which turned the original colour  more grass green than the hunters green it started to be.  

And on another note: My one year blogiversary is getting close which means I will have a couple of celebratory give aways. Keep your eyes open - it will be quite spectacular.

Thoughts on giveaways and what blog sales can lead to...

It is funny how I always enter giveaways with some disheartening thoughts, never more so when I enter those amazing ones that Traci hosts over at TheTraceFacePhiles.

I think I started following her back in September where she had 1800 followers with a couple of giveaways already running. Within a very short time she hosted giveaways for every new 100 followers. I remember entering most of them up to 2200 and thinking with that many followers chances were very slim to say the least to actually win one of them.

I had almost forgotten which ones I had entered, and what prizes I had chosen in those that had several winners.

And then it turns out that I was one of the winners of her 1900 follower giveaway - and I won the Color Club Foiled set, which made me giddy for several hours. I of course contacted Traci immediately - I wasn't going to loose that lovely prize.

It took some time to get that special package, which is due to the overall awesomeness of Traci. She really is an International Polish Fairy. I'll return to that in a moment.

You see, here in Denmark it can at times be difficult to be a polish addict. We don't have all those great cheap drugstore brands and generally nail polish is expensive, even the cheap ones cost around four times as much as the really cheap ones in America. Besides that, a lot of the e-tailers in America don't ship internationally, so we have to do our shopping at ebay when we want brands like Finger Paints, Santee, Klean Color, Barielle, Jordana and I could go on and on.

So this is where blog sales get interesting for someone like me, because then you don't have to pay extortionate prises for your nail polish :D. Furthermore, you get to know some really great women who really understand your addiction.


Well back to Traci...Prior to my win I had bought some polishes in her blog sale so I thought I could very politely ask if she could do me a favour. I am glitter crazy but that also means I go through top coat like there is no tomorrow. But on several blogs I had read about Gelous and I wanted to try it but it wasn't available internationally. So the favour was for her to purchase a couple of bottles for me to send with my giveaway prize - and she graciously accepted my request!!

So she had to buy these on my behalf before she could ship my prize and then we hit christmas and then USPS had a back log that seemed to last forever. But in early January this was in my mail:

I really look forward to trying all these beauties but with all my haulage lately I might not get around to these right away.

I'm Still Thinking has an awesome giveaway...

and I am entering - there are a lot of little beauties there that I would like to get my dirty little fingers on ;)

Go see for yourself here but be aware that some of the polishes are used. I don't care about  such minor details, hehe.

I really wanna win this...

It is one of FIVE prizes that My Nail Graffiti is giving away in a BIG 500 follower giveaway, which also includes this:

Her husband makes awesome frankens, and these are also for sale, if you like them!

Be quick, it ends September 22.

Glitter Gal Giveaway

Oh boy, Playing With Polish has an awesome Giveaway these days. Two amazing Glitter Gal polishes: Lizard Belly and Marine Blue, both exceptional holographic polishes. And she throws in a bit more, as you can see from this picture:

I am definately entering, but if you wanna play along you need to hurry - it ends september 21, which is tomorrow.
