50 Follower Giveaway!

Hello my dearest readers! We did it! I'm up to 50 followers and I'm so happy :) Thank you all for your support, comments, and for following! To celebrate, I'm hosting a giveaway for my followers. Here are the rules:
  1. The giveaway is open to all followers in the United States and Canada (sorry international readers, but every time I've sent a package overseas it's caused a lot of trouble for the recipient, and I don't want to have you guys paying taxes on it!)
  2. Entries must be received by September 9th just before midnight, and the winner will be announced that weekend. (This will give me time to verify all entries, so, yes, I will be checking and duplicates/false entries will be disqualified) They will be organized in the order they were received and I will use random.org to choose a random number for the winner. The winner has 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen.
  3. Entries should be submitted as a comment on this post. Comments on other posts will not count.
  4. Entrants must be 18 years or older or have express permission from their parent/guardian to participate.
  5. Here's what you can do to win:
  • One entry for your Google Friend Connect (GFC) username. This entry is mandatory. Please also include your email address so I can contact the winner. New followers are welcome!
  • One (optional) entry for tweeting about this giveaway and following me on twitter at Amanda_NPE. Include a link to the tweet (click on the time it was posted and it will give you the direct page to that tweet)
  • One (optional) entry for posting about this on your blog, in your sidebar, or adding me to your blog roll (include a link for which one you did)
  • One (optional) entry for telling me your favorite post on my blog so far and why. (You don't need to include the link, just a description of the mani or the name of the post is fine)
So you will have a maximum of four entries, minimum of one (obviously) to enter. And now for the important stuff: what can you win?!


 Kleancolors: Kiss Goodbye, Twinkly Love, and Midnight Seduction.
 Deborah Milano Knock Out Violet and Love at First Sight.

 Love and Beauty glitter turquoise, Love and Beauty fuschia/magenta glitter, and Golden Rose Holographic 108 (gray).

 OPI Designer Series (DS) Mystery (a deep purple with gold glitter).

And some nail art supplies: iridescent heart nail sprinkles, black glitter, and laser lace.

I've been adding things here and there so the winner is likely to win some other stuff as well as I stumble upon things before the giveaway ends.

Best of luck to all of you and please feel free to ask me any questions at amanda_npe on Twitter or by emailing at az270890@yahoo.com

xoxo,
Amanda

my fave post would have to be a tie between the Kleancolor swatch spam because I want almost all of the kleancolor polishes to be a part of my collection and the nail art for dummies, all the links and just simple instructions on how to use the products are great!!

thanks for the giveaway and congrats on 50 followers!

For favorite post, I thought the black crackle comparison Aug 4th was very helpful, since black crackles do seem a dime a dozen, so your swatches help us figure which one to go for :]

For favorite post, it has to be the comparisons of all the of the glitter polishes similar to Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. I just picked up a bottle of the W&W Party of Five glitter today on my lunch break, then boom! I read that post! lol

Hello! My name is Christina, and I just discovered your blog today, and I'm already loving it. Thanks for the opportunity with this giveaway! Tons of fun new polishes, I see!

GFC name: Kurisutiina

I have you on my blog roll (though my blog is still pretty young and basic at this point). You're one of my four "followed ones"
You can see it here: http://the-everday-whimsy.blogspot.com/

As for my favorite of your posts, I really like the Holo Haul Skittle Swatches post. Holographic nail polishes are my favorite, and those NFU Oh! polishes are intriguing to me since none of them are named. Plus, I've never heard of the Magnetic nail polish brand before. Where can you buy those?

Well thanks for your time! And congrats on all your followers and getting to your 100th post!
