Trendy Hairstyle Pictures: Deborah Lippmann

One Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

Hey guys!

I have some exciting news - my one year blogiversary was this past Sunday, June 26th! I would have liked to have this post up for that day but the Canada Post strike foiled those plans because I was waiting on the prizes to arrive, so this post is a little delayed.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for supporting me over this past year. At first I thought this was just going to be a small hobby, but it's grown into much more than that and it's really become a big part of my life and I'm so happy to be able to share it with all of you.

To celebrate, a great company (Made You Blush) has supplied me with some really awesome prizes that I think you guys are going to be excited about. It's of course not going to be even close to as big as my 500 follower giveaway, but I'm super excited about this one. I've talked a little more about Made You Blush after the jump so be sure to take a look.

The winner of this giveaway will receive 2 brand new bottles of Deborah Lippmann nail polish from the Spring 2011 Collection - Naked & Glitter in the Air.

I've reviewed and swatched Glitter in the Air myself so you can check out that post here but I don't personally own Naked so I'm super jealous of whoever wins this prize!

Keep reading for the rules and information on how to enter!

Please read the rules carefully! I will disqualify entries that do not abide by the rules of this giveaway!

Rules / Eligibility:
Winner must be a follower of my blog. This giveaway is open to all followers, including my international followers. Participants must be 18 years of age or older or have express permission from a parent or guardian to enter. The giveaway will end at 11:59PM NST (Newfoundland Standard Time) on the evening of Thursday, July 28th. I will use random.org to generate the winner. Once I have notified the winner, they will have 48 hours to claim their prize. If the winner fails to respond to my email within 48 hours, I will choose another winner at random. Participants are allowed to enter up to 4 ways (see below). Entering using all 4 ways will give participants a better chance to win but participants are not required to enter using all 4 ways.

Disclosure: The prizes in this post have been provided by an outside company. I am not receiving any compensation for this post and everything I have/will say about the company is my own opinion and is not influenced by them providing these prizes. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Made You Blush is a company that I have talked about before, and they are the only website in Canada that I know of that supplies Deborah Lippmann nail polishes. I've actually built a bit of a rapport with the owner of the business and she even emails me personally to let me know when new Lippmann polishes are in stock!

The customer service from this company is among the best I have ever dealt with and I strongly suggest that if you're planning to buy any Lippmann polishes, that this be the place you look. However, they also sell much more than Lippmann polishes so I suggest you take a browse through their website to see what else interests you (and there's bound to be something)!

Thanks again to all of you who continue to support my blog! Good luck!

Swatch Spam - Deborah Lippmann: Part 1

Hey guys!

Sorry that I haven't been able to post for the past couple of days! My internet went down Thursday morning and we just got it back a few hours ago. I managed to keep up-to-date on Facebook on my phone but I wasn't able to blog at all. I did take a bunch of photos though so I have a couple of posts ready to go. :)

Lately there have been A LOT of hits on the few swatch posts I have for Lippmann polishes, so I thought that you guys might like it if I did swatches of all the Deborah Lippmann polishes that I own.
Now, I only own 10 altogether but I've only swatched 3 of them for you so there'll be 7 Lippmann polishes in this post and the soon-to-come Part 2 post that you haven't seen from me before.

Enjoy!

Keep reading to see the swatches!

Happy Birthday, Today was a Fairytale, Bad Romance, Boom Boom Pow, Across the Universe

Happy Birthday (mutil-colour, multi-sized, multi-shaped glitter suspended in a clear base)
My swatch comparison post of this polish and 2 of its supposed dupes has been one of my most popular posts all month so most of you already know what I have to say about this polish. However, here's a link to that post in case you missed it.

Today was a Fairytale (sheer silver base with large and small silvery-blue glitter)
This shade was released for Holiday 2010 and it has a special ingredient called "Virgin Diamond Powder". I'm not sure what that really is, all I know is that this polish is gorgeous and unlike any other silver glitters I have in my collection. There's a depth to it so that it's not just your average glitter. This would most likely be used for layering but I also think it looks super pretty on its own - maybe only for an accent nail though since I wouldn't want to waste this.

Bad Romance (small and large magenta glitter packed in a black jelly base)
This shade was released for Fall 2010 along with Across the Universe and although I think this one took a backseat to Across the Universe, this is still an amazing polish. Just look at the swatches. Need I say more?

Boom Boom Pow (clear base with small and large gold glitter pieces as well as some smaller gold micro-glitter)
This was the other shade that was released for Holiday 2010 along with Today was a Fairytale and this one also has a special ingredient - 24 carat gold. I think the 24 carat gold is probably those smaller pieces of what looks like micro-glitter but they really stand out and make this shade super shiny and mesmerizing. This would most likely be best used as a layering polish but I also like the look of it on its own. However, like Today was a Fairytale, I probably would only use this on an accent nail because I would be afraid to use it all up.

Across the Universe (glitter party of small blue glitter and blue/teal hexagonal glitter suspended in a deep blue jelly base)
I've talked about this one a number of times, most recently in my Top 10 Polishes post so I'm not going to go into any detail here because you can just go back and see all of the awesome things I have said about it before.
