Giveaway Winners!!

Hi everyone!!! Sorry it's taken me a while to post the winners of the giveaway and the contest I had going on, but I had to go through all the entries [dang there was a lot more than I had expected!!] and make sure everything checked out. Full disclosure, I had to delete some people's entries because they didn't put anything down, just hit enter. So if you were one of those people, the entries you left blank were deleted. Sorry, but it's the only fair way. Anyway, for the franken naming contest, after much deliberation, the winner is [drumroll please....]

Enjeliqua Collier !!

with the name "Always Kiss Me Hello (makes me think of the black and white picture of the US Sailor kissing the Nurse captured I believe during WWII)

Honorable Mentions: Sharon with Paint the Town Redneck and Camila with Poisoned Apple.

Thank you all for your wonderful answers!! It was a really hard decision.

Now for the Spring has Sprung giveaway.. So I loved all your ideas a LOT. Aaaaaaand I ended up choosing 3 winners!! Eeee! Haha, so if the first winner doesn't answer my email in 48 hours, the second place winner will become the first, and the third will become the second, and I'll pick a new third place winner. The 2nd and 3rd place winners have already answered me, just waiting on the 1st place:]

First Place:

Amanda from Nox Nails !

Amanda says that her favorite polish of the last 6 months has been Models Own Golden Green [which I am lemming so hard haha. And she loves my Bourbon St. at Midnight and Zombie Prom frankens [thanks, girl!!<3] 

Second Place:

Diana from Nails by Diana !

Diana's favorite polish is Essie's Turquoise and Caicos and her dream polish would consist of peacock color tinsel glitters mixed in with awesome hex and square glitters :]

Third Place:

Hannah from Polished Prisms !

Hannah couldn't pick her favorite polish [understandable haha] and her custom franken would be "Something that I could wear to prom! A light blue/turquoise base with navy blue, silver, and various blue glitters mixed in"

Thank you all for entering, and I can't wait to show you guys the frankens imagined by these lovely ladies!!

Hi all! So I want to start by apologizing about not posting/commenting regularly, this semester is really kicking my butt. And the Etsy shop is doing pretty well and keeping me busy! So I wanted to show you a little bit of what I've been concocting, as well as what to expect for the next few days.

holos!!

Second, I'll be away from tomorrow night until Monday night, so I'm hoping to have some awesome posts scheduled and ready to go by tonight:] And I'll get all caught up on my commenting! I promise haha.

Third, I hit 200 followers, so be on the lookout for a giveaway next week! I have some ideas right now, and I can't wait to have another one for you all!

Thanks for reading that whole thing haha;]

Cult Nails Clairvoyant [= Unicorn Puke = dying of happiness]

Hi, I'm the worst blogger ever, and I'm so sorry I haven't been able to post for so long [I've been super sick], so I'm hoping if I show you flakies, you'll love me again??? <3 Please? Also, here's a really cute puppy:

Sooo don't hate me?:] 

Also, since I stink, here's some flakies!!!!!

This is 2 coats of a failed franken [it ended up looking black, which was not my intention at all, so I really could have and should have used my trusty Wet N Wild Black Creme], with two beautiful coats of Cult Nails Clairvoyant.

Seriously. I need this on my nails all the time. It's so prettyyyyyy. Howwwwwwww??

LOOK AT THE FLAKIESSSSSSS.

Does anyone have Clairvoyant [or Unicorn Puke]?? Are you as obsessed with it as I am? Because you should be ;]

Finally, tomorrow's the last day to enter my giveaway!! Do it, you know you want to.

Also, my blog sale is live! I have some HTF's as well as lots of glitter ;]

Blog Sale, Woo!

So, I have WAY too much nail polish that I don't wear, so I decided to put a Blog Sale tab, right up there ^. See it? Pretty, huh? Check it out, maybe I have something you want! & while you're at it, go take a gander at my giveaway. There's some pretty cool stuff riiiiiiiiiiiight there! -->

Also, I'm thinking about selling some of my frankens? Problem is I never write down what I put into a franken.. So it'd be like one or max two bottles of one color. Or maybe people can commission a franken from me! Haha, like, tell me your dream polish(es) & I'll try to make you one (or two or three). What do you think?? 

Lynderella Very Pretty Vampire

Hi! before I launch into the amazing polish today, you should go check my giveaway out ;] 50 Followers/I Love the Holidays Giveaway! Do it. You know you want to.

anyway, here's what I wore Thanksgiving weekend: Lynderella's Very Pretty Vampire over a franken I made for the holidays that I'll show at a later time :]

This is 2 coats of the base color, then 2 of VPV. Although, I think I'll layer it over something a littttttle lighter next time. Any suggestions??
