Midwestern Beauty Bloggers Present: A Fall Giveaway

A while back I joined a group of beauty bloggers from the Midwest and I'm excited to announce this morning that we're hosting our first giveaway!  Five other bloggers and I are hosting this giveaway and we've got some pretty awesome prizes, especially mine (not that I'm biased...).

The bloggers participating are:

Confessions of a Sarcastic Mom

Darling Nails

The Girlie Tomboy

Liquid Jelly

Plastered Polish

Ruby's Nails

For my portion of the giveaway I'm giving away Essie Chinchilly, Zoya Tomoko, and a bottle of OPI Avojuice Coconut Melon hand cream (upper left photo).  I picked these polishes because these have been my two favorite colors to wear this fall.  Essie Chinchilly is pretty much a fall must-have for me, and I've been enamored with Zoya Tomoko since the collection launched.  The OPI Avojuice hand cream is my favorite scent and lotion is a must have as the weather grows colder and more dry.

The rules:

• PRIZE: Prize Pack from Confessions of a Sarcastic Mom, Prize Pack from Darling Nails, Prize Pack from The Girlie Tomboy, Prize Pack from Liquid Jelly, Prize Pack from Plastered Polish, and a Prize Pack from Ruby's Nails.
• TO ENTER: In the Rafflecopter widget below enter your email address for one entry; additional entries may be obtained by following blogs, liking Facebook pages, etc.
• GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, October 9th at 11:59 pm CST.
• NUMBER OF WINNERS: One winner per prize pack.
• PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is open to just the United States.
• OTHER STUFF: One entry per person is permitted.  Duplicate entries will be deleted.  The winner will be selected using Rafflecopter and announced on Thursday, October 10th as an update to this post.  Once the winner has been selected they will have 48 hours to respond by email before a new winner is chosen.

Thank you and good luck!

Darling Nails Thank You Giveaway

**This giveaway is now closed - see who won below!**

Thank you to everyone who entered.  The lucky winner of two polishes from the OPI Mariah Carey Collection and a set of Burt's Bees Basics is ... Patty G (whose favorite polish memory is polishing her nails with her daughter).  Congratulations Patty!

Good morning, happy new year!  I've decided to host a giveaway here because I'd like to thank everyone who's been following my blog.  I really appreciate all the kind words, advice, and polish thoughts you've shared with me during the last 1.583 months that this blog has been around.

Thank you for sticking with me through short nails and long, through photos with bad lighting to the ones with full-spectrum bulbs, from ragged cuticles to well-moisturized ones.  Its meant a lot to me.  

As a thank you I'm giving away two polishes from the OPI Mariah Carey Collection and a set of Burt's Bees Basics.

The pink reflection on the bottle shots is from my pink camera.  Tip: don't buy a pink camera :)

I picked these polishes because I love blues and purples, and I thought the liquid sand polishes might be fun to try.  They're not everyone's cup of tea but have you seen how they sparkle when you add top coat?  Beautiful!  The Burt's Bees Basics set includes cuticle cream (a must have for every polish-aholic!) and a lip balm.

The rules:

• PRIZE: OPI Liquid Sand Get Your Number, OPI Liquid Sand Can't Let Go, and Burt's Bees Basics (Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter) 
• TO ENTER: In the Rafflecopter widget below enter your Google Friend Connect name, email address, and tell me...
• BONUS QUESTION: ...what your favorite polish memory is.  Was it when you finally located your number one lemming?  When you stayed up late for an indie restock and managed to get everything you were hoping for?  
• GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Tuesday, January 15th at 11:59 pm CST.
• NUMBER OF WINNERS: One.
• PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is open to both the United States and internationally.  
• OTHER STUFF: One entry per email address is permitted.  The winner will be selected using Rafflecopter and announced on Wednesday, January 16th as an update to this post.  Once the winner has been selected they will have 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen.
