Giveaway/Challenge Time!!!!- CLOSED

CLOSED


WAHOOOOOO!

I promised a giveaway so here it is! 




When I took the poll on how I should do this I think most were interested in doing a contest.  I’m so happy because that’s what I wanted.  What nail art enthusiast wouldn’t want a bunch of people doing nail art for them! 

The theme will be food!....anything goes!  My husband is a chef so I figured it would be a great theme and he could help out with the judging! I will not be judging myself.  Both my sister-in-law and husband will be doing the judging. If they can’t decide on a winner then I suppose I’ll have to go buy a second prize ;os

THEME: FOOD.
 I’m not saying you have to paint  steak and potatoes on your nails.  It can be inspired by any food.  For example if it is inspired by an orange you can paint your fingers orange and just add some seeds.  Pretty easy peasy
There is no rules as far as what you can use. If you want to stamp it, be my guest. I will however let the judges know whether it’s free hand, stamped, decal etc. etc.  How they want to incorporate it into their judging is up to them.I will not get involved in that part.  (hint: my sister-in-law is a crafter so she loves a little talent). Also if it is inspired by food I will let them know the type of food.

Additional rules:
·         You must be a follower of Nail Narcotics! 
·         Post title must contain ‘Nail Narcotics Giveaway challenge’
·         When posting your entry on your blog please make sure you have a link to this post.
·         Post blog link in comment section below or email to nailnarcotics@gmail.com
·         Due date is Saturday September 29th(or at least when I get up in the morning on Sunday. I’m an early riser)

Contest is open internationally.  It will be sent Canada Post so patience would be required for those across the ocean!

Sunday Morning Inspiration

I woke up this morning knowing I'd have a long day ahead of me.  Chances were I wouldn't be able to play around with my nails in the evening. So at 7:30a.m.  I sat down at the table and decided to try something a little fun.  I took three objects that were already on the table and tried to recreate them on my nails.  The key word here is 'tryyyyy'.  Keep in mind I am still an amateur at nail art.  Although I may not be proud of them all I thought I should at least share. 
My objects were.....an earring, a yellow note pad and a can of A&W Diet Rootbeer.

The pop can was probably the most successful.  I started with two coats of Quo by Orly in 'Steel Heart'.  I then used Essie's Luxeffects in 'Set in Stones' to get the bubble effect.


For the note pad I used 3 coats of Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in 'Mellow Yellow'. For the blue lines I used a small tester bottle. Only info I have on it is that it's by Quo :oP



The last attempt kind of disappointed me.  It had a lot of possibility but I think by that time I was more concentrated on getting ready for the day.  I promise to make up for this one....eventually




If anyone ever has any advice please don't hesitate to lay it on me. I'm up for constructive criticism
