Now my rant...

RULES:

• Please follow directions!
• Erroneous/fraudulent entries will be removed.
• More than 1 fraudulent will get all of your entries removed.
• Fraudulent entries will get you completely disqualified.
• Fraudulent entries & disqualification from 2 different giveaways and will get you banned from future giveaways.

Grounds for disqualification:

• Entering more than once (both sets will be removed)
• Not being a GFC follower (this includes leaving the GFC name blank)
• If you are caught entering GFC name, email, and the rest are fraudulent entries in more than one giveaway – I will forever ban you from my giveaways (dishonesty is a HUGE dislike for me, it’s not fair to the followers who actual do stuff for those entries and you just click enter, enter, enter and hope I don’t check….well, I do. Every. Last. Entry.)

I have said this before I'm sure these rules sound harsh but they are there for those followers who actually do the requested activities to earn those entries. I have also changed around some of the entry options as you will notice. I also added the option to host a copy of this giveaway's Rafflecopter widget in a post for 25 bonus entries. You can combine this with the blog post bonus entry and get 30 bonus entries for one blog post. 

Okay, enough of that onto the Rafflecopter widget!

My Contest Entry - Please vote!

I just entered the BirchBox Color Club Fall themed mani contest on FB. Please help me out and vote for my mani here. Thanks bunches!

In other news, I hope to finally get my newest giveaway up later today and I am taking swatches & doing manis like no tomorrow because I will be taking part in the TNT Challenge from ASK Cosmetics (stating very soon) so I won't be able to paint my nails for 12 weeks. Craziness! I am trying to "store" up some posts basically, but you will probably also get mani pics for my mother, and daughter, and possibly some toes as well to fill in the gaps. =)

If you were wondering about what I used for he fall mani entry...generic ridge filling base coat, 2 coats of Color Club Catwalk Queen, then stamped with Mash-27 (leaf tip image) using a very old bottle of Sally Hansen Nail Prisms Emerald Amethyst, topped with Seche Vite.

Much Love, The Dragon Lady - and thanks for voting!

Sinful Colors Sinfully Magnetic

As some of you know Sinful Colors has now jumped onto the magnetic bandwagon and released a magnetic line called Sinfully Magnetic. I found a display of them at my local Rite Aid, that contained 6 or 7 colors (sorry, forgot to actually count them). They retail for $4.99 which I was bummed about because it's Sinful Colors and they are usually cheaper. As for the colors, some of them looked pretty close to the colors we have been seeing in the magnetic polishes for months. The dark green, dark purple, dark charcoal gray, silver, dark blue, etc. I almost walked away from the display but as I was standing up glitter caught my eye...yup glitter. Captivate Me, definitely captivated me. It's a wine colored polish with small, holographic micro glitter.

After finding one with glitter I searched all the colors on display carefully and while no others in that display had glitter one, Polar Opposites (a light gun metal-ish gray), has a blue to purple duo-chrome shimmer to it - hard to tell for sure but it might actually be a green to blue to purple. I scored both of these and grabbed up a spare of each to use in a future giveaway.

What do you think of these? Has anyone else found any glitter/shimmer magnetic polishes? Much Love, The Dragon Lady

Yesterday's Teal Mani

Here's a quick post to show you all what I used in the ovarian Cancer Awareness mani I wore yesterday. I used two coats of Sinful Colors Sweet Dreams, a pale teal with a silver shimmer. Once that was dry I stamped over it with the awareness ribbon french tip image on BM-324 using China Glaze Deviantly Daring. On my accent nail I sponged Sinful Colors Nail Junkie, then hit it all with a coat of Seche Vite.

Mani/Bottle shots:

I also did my toes in a teal glitter nail art polish, Finger Paints Art Hue Feeling Young?, I moved some of it to a small polish bottle for easier application. I topped it off with two coats of Seche Vite, then today I used one coat of Geliah Top It Off UV Topcoat for awesome glass-like shine (also adds durability and I am planning on wearing this for awhile).
