Nfu-pro

Contest time!

To win you need to name all three Nfu-Oh polishes pictured.  

I will be adding photos as needed or as I feel like it to help out or as hints.  But let's start with just one photo to make it SOMEWHAT of a challenge.

Ok, here is the next pictcha.

HINT #1- None of the polishes shown are swatched on my blog.


Next pictcha-

Can you name this hot magenta jelly that just screams 80's.  One might even call this a dark pink bordering on purple.  It was a solid 3 coats and dried moderately fast.

Here are the last 2 pics people-

A gorgeous medium blue creme. A 2 coater that dried almost instantly.

Vibrant green creme, almost a true green if it weren't for the slightest blue tint. 

HINT #2- All three polishes are in the 500's.

The FIRST person to name all three polishes wins a brand spankin' new bottle of Nfu-Oh 51.

Yeah, just one bottle!  I am not MADE of Nfu-Ohs people. 

Contest ends when someone wins, or I get sick of giving hints and award it to the closest person. heh.  This contest is kind of silly I admit because most likely if you can guess all three of these nfu-ohs then you probably already own 51. So if you already OWN 51 maybe you should make the decision not to guess.  I'm just sayin'.  

Love, MM

Never Go Full Retard- Color Club Rebel Debutante Collection.

The Rebel Debutante Collection has kept Color club just barely from falling off the edge and going "full retard" a la Tropic Thunder my current favorite movie. The formula is better and most polishes are 2 coaters.  There are no stupid glitters, and the color selection except two, one dupe and one monstrosity, is quite good. This collection is also all cremes which makes me very happy. 

  I love this one. Great application and a great nude shade. This was 2 coats.

OH THE HORROR!  What the hell is this?  Oh my god this is so horrifically UGLY.  This was 2 torturous coats.

A pretty light grey. 2 coats, smooth and nice.

 Despite my awful picture this really is a gorgeous dusty red/brown based purple. I love this one. A LOT. 

Glossy classic pink, 2 coats.

Awesome greyish lavender. This applied like butter! Sweet polish.

Super light grey creme. It was nearly a one coater.

Of Color Clubs three new collections, Poptastic, Pardon my French, and Rebel Debutante, this is the one to buy, people. Although it pisses me off that Color Club left the best polish, Gossip Column a gorgeous looking teal, out of the set and you have to buy it separately.  Poptastic is filled with re-promotes from old neon collections, more info on that here.  And, Pardon my French is just plain stupid. But, do keep in mind that one polish from the Rebel Debutante collection is a dupe to another "new" polish.  Twiggie from Poptastic and Rebel debutante from it's namesake collection are the exact same polish.

I'm giving away a brand new set of the Rebel Debutante Collection to one lucky follower to try and redeem myself from giving away the stupid Pardon my French Collection last time. Also because I just like giving stuff away.

Rules for entry are:


1) You must be a follower.
2) You must tell someone else about the giveaway and tell me who you told in the comments.  Blog it, tweet it, email it, link it or speak it, all is fair. Just do not tell your freaking pets, ok.  Don't post and tell me you told your cat or dog and definitely NOT your turtle! 
3) One entry per person.
4) If you would like to tell me your favorite quote from Tropic Thunder, knock yourself out. Mine is, "that smelled just like bologna for some reason".

International readers welcome! Contest ends next Saturday at midnight.

Love, MM

Color Club Pardon my french Winner!

Wow, 141 entries! Out of the lot of you random.org selected one winner.  One lucky winner that I was secretly and seriously PRAYING would not be international because sending that damn ice cream set from last week to Amsterdam nearly cost more than my new car.

Lucky for me today's winner lives in my neck of the woods!  So number 7, Lissi, COME ON DOWN...

Ok FINE!

I cannot keep a secret from you pretty ladies.  Not that I have done a very good job with keeping it secret anyhow.

This adorable set of ice cream shaped nail polishes is the prize for my spamapalooza giveaway.  Dude, it is nail polish shaped like ICE CREAM.  ICE CREAM, people!  

Just look at the little pink handle. This just might be the cutest thing EVER!

So, send me your mani photos @ manateemama@live.com to enter. Details Here.

Green Eggs and SPAM!

150 followers?  Whaaaaaat??

A number I never even half expected to see, also a number I am assuming is going to be about as good as it gets. In celebration of 150 readers I am going to have a photo spam extravaganza!

This time it is going to be YOUR pictures.  I am inviting all of you to email me your manicure photos.  I will be posting them up here in all their gorgeous, glory for all to see.  It's going to be awesome.  How awesome?  TOTALLY AWESOME!

I seriously cannot wait for the explosion of variety that this spamapalooza is going to be!  I am also scared for my television as I will most likely have to pawn it in order to acquire all the lemmings this post is sure to create!

Here is how I would like this to go down, playas. 

1- Email me at manateemama@live.com

2- Type "150" in the subject line.

3-  Include your photo in the form of an externally hosted link (photobucket, etc) if at all possible

4- Tell me what polish it is, and other details if you want (how many coats etc)

5- Tell me if you want me to post your user name with your photo, and the name you would like me to use.

6- If your photo is watermarked please include the name/link you would like me to use to credit you.

I will accept emails for one week or until they stop coming in, whichever comes first.  Assuming I will even get one entry.  I am trying to stay positive and not focus on just how FAT of a fail this could be if my email box sits empty.

Submitting a photo will enter you into yet ANOTHER giveaway/contest that I will be revealing the details of in my spamapalooza post.  Yeah, you didn't really think I was so self righteous that I thought people were clamoring to get a pic posted on my tiny little blog did you?  DID YOU?  Well if you did you were mistaken. Thank heavens right?  Well maybe not thanks heavens. More like thank reality, and the fact that I reside in it.  I hope everyone bothered to read down this far!  I mean wow, that would really suck if I was that lame.

As always international readers are welcome!
