Givaway Win Nail Art

I’m really milking this giveaway win, aren’t I?!
I loved these polishes so much I wanted to try to do something fun that included all three.

Cute, huh?  I just love it! I really like dotting, I can imagine it would be even more fun with the proper dotting tools, rather than my homemade jobbies.
I was going to take a photo of the mani with a matte coat, but when I put the matte coat on it looked almost exactly the same!
I’m hoping to get at least another day or two out of this one, it’s just too cute to try to remove already.

Giveaway Win Swatches

Here are some swatches of the polish I won from Traci's giveaway.

In case you missed it, these are the polishes I won. Pretty hot, right?!

This is two coats of It’s Up To Blue. I really like this color a lot!  I’m so weird about blues at the moment though after getting serious staining (even with a base coat) from Finger Paints Teal of Fortune and Essence Let’s Get Lost.  Since my nails were already stained from Let’s Get Lost, it was kind of hard to tell if I got any staining at all from this polish.  I think I’d wear it even if it did stain, to be honest, because I’m just a big fan of this blue.

This is three coats of Oh Cabana Boy.  I thin ordinarily I probably could have gotten away with two coats but the dark staining I mentioned was showing through pretty badly, so I went for three.  Although, this is the more sheer of the three polishes so you may find that three coats works better in the end anyway.  Man, this polish is so like… POW!! BANG!!! BOOOM! Even the picture doesn’t really show it’s power.  It really is a totally in your face, popping kind of pink.  It’s awesome!

Last, but certainly not least… SHINE. Oh and does it shine!  This polish is so cool!  Can you not imagine it as the base of a thousand different nail art projects? Even just on its own it’s fantastic.  Again, my photos don’t do it justice… it almost looks like you have tinfoil nails or something… very very cool.
I’m totally in love with all three of these polishes.  It’s my first experience with the Orly brand and the first thing I noticed was the rubber handle, how great is that?  Also, the bottles are bigger than what I’m used to with the Essence polishes, which is what I seem to use most.   I was a little worried when I saw how narrow the brush was but it still applied beautifully.
I think I hit the jackpot with these three.  Now I am dead curious about the rest of the Orly line!  Just like the Nfu Oh, I’d like them simply for the bottle, it’s just a bonus that the polish is great too.

Giveaway Nail Mail!

I won my first giveaway! Sweeeeet! I was one of three winners in Traci's 200 Follower Giveaway!  Today a received Orly’s It’s Up To Blue, Oh Cabana Boy, and Shine.  I love the bottles, with the rubbery handles… I need to think of something cool to do using the three colors together.
To be honest, after filling out so many giveaway forms, posting all the photos and links to the giveaways I didn’t think I was ever going to win anything haha but I did!  It was so exciting too!  I guess it’s just like Traci says, you can’t win if you don’t enter.
I am a giveaway entering fool once again.  I may even host one of my own soon… 
Omg I love free stuff!
