Giveaway Winner is..

Well, there were 35 entries. I would say at least 15 of these were thanks to la belle liloo and her tweets (elle est vraiment la reine de tweets). Now that's a selfless act because that boosted the entry by 75%!! And consequently reduced her own chance of winning.

So a huge thank you to liloo.

On another note I have forgotten how to do links. I once knew but have now forgotten. Oh, dear...

So I assign each entrant a number in the order they commented, enter the numbers into random.org and press the button (and by crikey I thought my Mac had crashed because it wasn't an instant result today - weird) I got the winner.

So I'll be sending her an email in a minute. It's gemx. Of http://www.gemx.co.uk/sparkle/

Congrats to Gem. You know the drill. Address, please!

A demain!

Giveaway winner - Hermetic!

Result: 21 Powered by RANDOM.ORG

This result was based on inputting all the responses to the Silly Survey of which Hermetic's was the 21st.  Voila. QED.

http://hermetic-blog.blogspot.com/


Hermetic is from Serbia and I shall be leaving her a message asking for her address details.



Talk about random..


This is Revlon. Couldn't they have chosen a better photo? Boring colours and what IS that expression on her face? Not good.  Looks like she's in pain...Maybe the photographer has bad breath and she's mouth-breathing?

Thanks for all your well-wishing. Mum not so good yesterday. 'Vague' is what the nurses called it. 'Not very with it' is more my line of thinking. One day at a time. Bright side. All that. Work is good. Spring feels as if it may be in the air. My grandson is SO sweet. My daughters are being supportive. My OH is lovely. You are all lovely.

Jessica giveaway

6 Jessica tints

Pink, Coral, Red, Violet, Aqua and Emerald.

This was Violet. One of my first pix. Shows that these are jellies. Jellies with VNL. If you look at my pix of Jessica (check the label) there are quite a few pix. These are great for gradients and layering too. So you know what you're letting yourself in for. I think they are great but I know some people are not jellyphiles...

How to enter?

• Go to the Great Silly Survey on the right.
• Copy it into the Comments box and answer all the questions in as brief or lengthy a fashion as you desire.
• If your username doesn't link to a profile somewhere with your email addy then also leave your email.
• Please accept that I will post this the cheapest way I can. If the winner is in a far-flung place (er, Iowa? - that's a Bill Bryson joke so don't blame me...) then it may take a while to get to you. 
• If I haven't explained properly please ask.
• Ends at the end of January.

BB Couture - Dragon's Breath - jelly goodness - more giveaway news...

Rebecca of www.nailsnailsetc.blogspot.com  was raving about BB Couture yesterday and I wanted something easy-going on the right hand as I was expecting bother with Topshop Bees Knees so I selected Dragon's Breath from BB. (Bees Knees proved a lot more accommodating than expected so I was a happy bunny).

3 coats but 2 is fine. How do I love thee, Breath of the Dragon?

Just slop it on. 

Cue the praise for Kim at Overall Beauty. Honestly, you HAVE to buy some just so you can deal with Kim and experience great customer service.

Outdoors in sun.
This is one of those desert-island polishes. I don't have a Top 10 but this would have to be on it.

Now the RoW giveaway for Europe and beyond! Apologies for shoddy photo.

A lippie (Bourjois), some things you put on your nails (in little boxes), 3 of the Barry M ice-cream collection - berry, pale blue and a pale pink. They are all cremes and they'll be off-trend by the time you get them and Barry M has boring product names but it is a brand that isn't readily available everywhere and is identifiably British so....

Anyway the giveaway T&Cs will be posted later today. And the British giveaway won't be as stingy as just 3 polishes, I promise!

Later, later...

Topshop - Bees Knees - yellow creme + the promised GIVEAWAY

3 coats but I was dreading this and it wasn't the streaky little b@stard of a yellow that I was expecting!

I did need 3 coats but I'm used to that and I do feel I got a good (for me) result.
These Topshop polishes get high marks from me. 3 out of 3 so far.

Outside pic. I've been doing this for a couple of months now and I've only just realised I get a more accurate photo in natural light! I had a love affair with a Mary Quant yellow in the Seventies or Sixties (can't properly remember) and I am trying to recapture that joy.

Bear with me before I get to my giveaway news, please.

Just another pic of Miner Denim Shorts because I remembered to get a natural light shot before I removed it and I do think it's sweet.

This is because I was attempting to show the pinky-red traits of this polish but I still failed. Both these pix are after 2 days of wear btw.

My giveaway. 

Misa Pour Me Something Tall & Strong

Runway Diva

Dirty, Sexy. Money   (er, what's with the commas, Misa???)

There'll be some nailart-y gubbins too. Or stuff I just shove in.

You can't enter yet because I haven't firmed up the entry conditions. All I know is this is UK only. BUT I am waiting for some more bits'n'bobs to arrive for the RoW (rest of the world). So I'll wait until I can open the giveaway to everyone.

I chose these because I love Misa and they're not easy to find in the UK. Not in the shops anyway.

I'm thinking of asking entrants to be followers and to make a comment and maybe answer some questions. That's OK, isn't it?

BUT what do YOU think makes fair/unfair giveaway terms and conditions? Extra entries for blogging? I really just want to say thank-you to the peeps who bear with me and not encourage followers who just sign up for the giveaway and then bugger off. I do try to comment on lot of blogs and not just pop up for the freebies but I know there are lurkers who just .....lurk. 

Oh, and have your giveaways ever gone to people who took the goodies never to be seen again? How do you feel about that?

And, speaking of giveaways, here's my gloriously glittery gift from Simone at GiveTheJewGirlToys!

Tum te tum
