GIVEAWAY! Oh, sorry. I got excited. I feel like GIVEAWAY just has to be in all-caps because I'm annoying that way. Here's the deal.

THE LOOT:
1. Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color in Opulent Cloud (to fulfill that hard-to-find lemming)
2. OPI Shorts Story (to brighten up your winter blues)
3. OPI Shim-merry Chic (in case you missed it in stores)
4. Sinful Colors San Francisco (a favey-fave of the drug store variety)
5. Lay It On Thick body lotion (distributed through Bath and Body Works, the perfect size for your purse!)
6. Avon Bubble Bath in Hot Apple Pie (a HUGE bottle that smells amazing)
7. A ridiculously cute nail file (I know you're supposed to use a crystal file, but how cute is this? Very fucking cute is the answer)
THE RULEZ:
1. You must be a follower.
2. For one entry, leave a comment on this post telling me one of your current lemmings, just for funsies. Make sure to leave me your e-mail address, as well.
3. For a second entry, blog about this post and leave the link in your comment.
4. You have until midnight on Monday, January 11th to enter, at which time I'll randomly pick a winner. Tell your friends! I will remind you to enter in every post I do up until the 11th.
That's it! Easy enough, right?
And here's a close-up of the pretties. Do you want them? I know you do. These are all unused, and this probably goes without saying, but the bubble bath and the lotion are unused as well. This GIVEAWAY is to celebrate having 50+ followers, which is exciting. I really wanted to thank you guys and give you the opportunity to win my cool shit.
Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to share with you my obsession with the color peach/cantaloupe/....basically, whatever color RBL Starfish Patrick is. I picked up an old OPI this weekend, Melon of Troy, and I was kind of worried I wouldn't like it because it's kind of a frost (which is a finish I don't love at all).

Um...I love this. LOVE IT. I painted my nails on Saturday afternoon, and I'm still wearing this.


I have a painting in my bathroom that's just big circles of color, and one of them matches my obsession color really well.
Melon of Troy was part of the Greek Isles collection and is still pretty readily available along with another fan favorite, Don't Socra-Tease Me! By the way, those names are epic. Get it? Epic? As in awesome, but also as in epic poetry? Haha? Okay, sorry. Anyway, this was three coats and I still have a little VNL, but I don't care. I just love this color so much. I love it so much that I can't tell whether or not it's an old person color. The formula is perfect and I've had no chipping issues. Do you guys know all the mythology behind the Trojan War? One of my favorite myths is the Judgement of Paris, where Paris had to decide which goddess was the most beautiful and give her a golden apple. He chose, of course, Aphrodite, who had promised him "the most beautiful woman in the world," Helen of Troy. Here's a picture one of my friends took, themed the Judgement of Paris. I'm in the background in soft focus, right in the middle. Pretty photograph, isn't it? She's a great artist.

That's all for today. Thanks for lookin', as always, and don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY. Have a great Monday :)
Steph, you are way adorable. Just so you know you have inspired me to have funky bright nail colors as one of my "weirdo substitute teacher" traits. The other traits will be be adorably confused about certain aspects of math, etc.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if I count as one of your followers... I subscribe to the RSS feed, does that count? I also have a huge list of China Glaze polishes I want now (also thanks to you), and Re-Fresh Mint and OMG are high up there. I MUST FIND THEM.
I'm totes a follower :) and right now I'm lemming the Nubar prisms, but 60$ for a set? eff that! I'm also lemming a topcoat that doesn't suck balls, because I'm having a very drawn out argument with Seche right now. She's being a bish, and I'm sick of her diva way. I'll blog abt your contest today :) That melon color is hottness. the.end.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower (and surprised no one followed you after me! :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm lemming some elf mineral lipsticks. I love their formula and they're making good to my lips!
Beside, I LOVE the shape of that bottle of Avon. Back in the middle of the 70's, my mum was purchasing Avon stuff and I remember the same shaped bottle but in pink near the bathtub. It was empty but still there. Sweet memories!

Lovely hands. Lovely nails. Lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteI'd love Starfish P but I'm not paying RBL prices. No thanks.
OPI is expensive in the UK and I'm not going to get Melon either but I do love them both.
Wow, that is an awesome LOOT! WHOOT!

Ahh!! can i enter? I feel guilty. No I'm not entering!!! But I wanted to comment. hehe. I love that pictures. And oh man "melon of troy" lol OPI comes up with the greatest names. At least this one makes sense. Heads up, CVS is having 75% off! I bet some nail polishes are discounted. :)
