1500 Follower Giveaway- Indie Extravaganza!

Hi polish lovers!!

I am SO excited to finally unveil what I have been planning for this giveaway! Thank YOU for supporting me and making blogging so much fun!

As the co-owner of You Mix, I have the opportunity to interact with some amazingly talented and super sweet ladies who make their own polish. Regardless of this connection, I LOVE indie polish...like a lot. So it makes it even more special to have these ladies featured here for this giveaway! Their shops are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's out there in the indie community. I wanted to feature ones that I have purchased from in the past or admired from afar that are also customers of You Mix...but don't get me wrong...I wish I could purchase from and feature everyone! My husband would say I am coming close and one look at my indie collection may prove that. haha

Ok, so what am I giving away you ask? I have 10 wonderful indie brands whose owners have graciously donated polishes from their lines and they are all amazing! This means there will be 10 winners!! 

So let's get to what's up for grabs:

Prize #1 is Trick or Treat, a super fun Halloween/Fall polish from Daring Digits owned by Ashley. She currently has her shop in vacation mode, but she is reopening with a sale this Friday! You can also stay updated on Daring Digits by liking their Facebook page.

 Prize #2 is Starlight Starbright from Jamie who owns Kawaii Nail Lacquer. Jamie has a lot of amazing themed collections! You can stay up to date with Kawaii Nail Lacquer by liking her Facebook page *here*.

Prize #4 is Sugar Daddy from Lush Lacquer. What makes this indie brand stand out is that it's a collaborative effort between a mother and a daughter team: Karin and Lexi! And their polishes are total eye candy...one look at their Etsy shop and you'll know what I mean. :) Be sure to follow Lush Lacquer on Facebook to stay in the loop!

Holiday Giveaway #2 11/30/10 - 12/7/10 - CLOSED

UPDATE 12/7/10 - Giveaway is now closed.  I will be selecting the winner soon.  Giveaway #3 will be posted shortly.

As my giveaway #1 is ending on 11/30/10, I figured I'd go on and open this one up to get the entries started. Heck, it's November 30th to some of you all... right? :)

This is one of the mini sets from OPI's Holiday Burlesque collection. I chose this one specifically because it had three of my favorite colors from the collection, The Show Must Go On, Let Me Entertain You, and Ali's Big Break. It also has Tease-y Does It, which I know many of you LOVE. I've also added 2 OPI AvoJuice Juicies, Jasmine and Cran-Berry.

As always, giveaway is open to international readers.

To enter, please fill out the form below:

I apologize for the unpretty-ness of this form. It's huge and I can't figure out a way to make it fit better in the space (if you are good at html and can give me some pointers... point away). Everything should fill out just fine, though. If you are noticing errors, please let me know and I may have to resort to another entry method. UPDATE - I've managed to make the form look a bit better, but I had to change my margins so now some of my other stuff doesn't fit right. I'm sure this doesn't matter to anyone but me, but it's only temporary. :)

Holiday Giveaway #1 - 11/23/10 - 11/30/10 - CLOSED

*UPDATE* - Giveaway #2 is now open. Thus, I am closing this giveaway and selecting a winner.

As I teased several days ago, I am hosting 4 giveaways over the holiday season. Today, I have for you my first giveaway. This is the only one of the 4 that is not expressly "holiday" themed, but I fell in love with it, nonetheless....

This 3 mini OPI treatments, Chip Skip, Nail Envy, and Rapid Dry, as well as a 1 oz bottle of (my favorite) OPI Expert Touch remover, and a 25 ct pack of OPI nail wipes. Plus, it's all housed in this crazy cute case. I think the case is the main reason I gravitated towards this little gift set. Additionally, and this is because I couldn't handle a prize without a nail color... I am including one of my favorite colors for Fall/Winter 2010, Color Club Wild Orchid (yeah... I picked it because it matched the case. LOL).

My only entry requirement is that you be a follower of my blog. However, I realize that not everyone follows blogs through Google Friend Connect. If this is the case, please let me know when you fill out the entry form. If you do follow through GFC, just enter your follower name/email. New followers are always welcome!

I'm so sorry for the typo in the form. Perhaps I should go to bed. LOL



Don't forget to enter your valid contact email address. This is how I will let you know if you win.

Giveaway will close on 11/30/10 and winner will be notified within 2 days.

This is open internationally!

Thanks and good luck!

Giveaway Sneak Peak

I love Christmas, and the holiday season in general.  I love the smells, I love the weather, and I love the feeling it gives me.  However, for the past few Christmases, with having the twins and dealing with Tim's lay-off and my son's issues, I haven't really been in the holiday mood.  Well, this year, I've decided to do something about it.  I'm putting myself in a different frame of mind in real life, and I thought it would be great to pass that on to my blog.  So I decided to have a giveaway, but not just one giveaway (as moderation and I have never been friends)... I decided to have FOUR giveaways!

Ten days from today, on November 23rd, I will open up the first giveaway (entry details to follow).  The giveaway will last for a week, closing on November 30th, with my next giveaway opening the same day.  This will continue every Tuesday until December 21st, when my final giveaway will close.  I consider each prize to be a little present from me to you, with all but one being holiday themed.

Here are the "presents" (just pics for now as I have to keep some secrets.  LOL)

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

Week 4

I can't wait to post the details!  I should have the first post up on November 22, and the giveaway will open on November 23.

And yes... it's open to international readers!
