You Can Thank Scandalous

Alright, this is a long story that I'll sum up right here: I'm giving away one of my bottles of Gun Metal Pink FLASH (also known as My Private Jet by OPI). That will leave me with only two bottles, so it's almost as important as giving one of you a kidney... if I had three kidneys.

Ok... so.... one day I posted a blog about my all-time favorite nail polish My Private Jet, after seeing someone else's post of the same polish that didn't look anything near the polish I have. The one I saw was a holo and mine WAS NOT. Mine was an AWESOME gun metal pink! So I posted a question as to why my My Private Jet looked so different. Well, I got some VERY helpful responses from some VERY helpful bloggers informing me that there are MANY versions of this particular polish and that no one had yet heard of MY version. I even got a request from Scandalous over at Scandalously Polished to let her know if I find another one, and I did find another three, so I sent one to her.

Now my pink gunmetal My Private Jet is so extraordinary that I can't help but smile everytime I look at it. I originally thought that the color had to be on my own nails to cause the incessant smiling, but I was wrong. Scandalous recently posted swatches of my all-time favorite polish and, again, I smile. Now while that smile also had something to do with the "thank you's" and the awesome blog post Scandalous did, I'd be lying if I said that was the ONLY reason. This polish just CAUSES that reaction. And WOW... does this polish just look fantastic on EVERYONE??? So I was reading through the comments that were left on Scandalous' wonderful post and realized that there are quite a few people in NEED of this color. Now I COULD sell it on Ebay and probably make a mint on this color, but I realized that it would definitely be much more fun to have everyone scratch and claw for it!!! So, I'M HAVING A GIVE AWAY!!!

For the next two weeks, I wanna see who REALLY wants this polish. Leave comments on this post and TELL YOUR FRIENDS about this give away (be sure to leave links to prove you told people even if they weren't your friends..hahahahaha)! And in two weeks I will pick one lucky winner. THIS IS NOT A RANDOM DRAWING. This AWESOMER THAN AWESOME nail polish will go to the person I think wants it the most.... you can all thank Scandalous!!!! You can also thank her for the new name Pink Gunmetal FLASH My Private Jet!!! Love it! So leave your comments and links and I will pick the winner on June 13. NIGHT, NIGHT!
**CORRECTION: I'm going to ask Scandalous if she would like to pick the winner... NOW You CAN Thank Scandalous!!! hahahaha!
*** This give away is only open to followers of this blog.

Comments

Ohhh, please pick me, Scandalous! I would love love love to win OPI My Private Jet. I don't own any of the various versions of MPJ and this one really looks like the prettiest.

Thanks for giving up one of your bottles, Danielle!

some reasons why I still want it:
come on, it's O.P.I
it's called my private yet. that's cool
but Pink Gunmetal FLASH My Private Jet is way cooler. So I can be cool with this polish, muhaha
maybe I can spam you, so you know I really want it (:

should I leave you alone?

This giveaway ...well after making why I want the MPJ picture I realized that nail polish is an object and I questioned whether obtaining a much coveted polish can actually make me sign up to become an organ donor and save lives. This doesn't seem right. a polish = saving lives?

i've decided to go forward and apply to become an organ donor regardless of the outcome of this giveaway. i'll be getting tested next week. Thanks for having this giveaway. It really changed my perspective.

Hi, I found your little corner of webspace while browsing random nail polish related blogs - I've recently developed really bad dermatitis on my face and am no longer allowed to wear makeup (my old drug), so I've developed a SERIOUS obsession with nail polish to compensate! I can't stop lusting over swatches, they are like porn to me now D: Both versions of my private jet are on my wishlist, but I have been expressively forbidden from buying any more nail polish until August because I have spent too much money! The horror! So please, consider me - there is a hole in my collection calling out for this gorgeous polish!

I want this polish so bad, once I saw this post I have dreams about it. I have the holo and the teal flash and must have it to go with the others!!! Please, please, please I'm begging you :)

I'll be back to tweet about it...can't right now I'm at work day dreaming about pink mpj!! LOL!!

I'm new to twitter. I tweeted it but don't know how to make a copy so you can see it. I guess you can follow me and look at it there :(

Past 7 Days....

RIP My Friend

I think this is what drowning feels like.  I lost a friend yesterday.  And I'm afraid that I am just having a very hard time finding the words to express what the world lost.  I'm having a hard time KNOWING she's gone.  I just can't believe that Trisha Giallella died yesterday. I've known Trish for a large chunk of my life; she was the sister of my sister's ex husband. But for all the years that I knew her, I never REALLY knew her until very recently.  Oh sure, over the years I would listen in awe at all her stories.... stories of making movies in Hollywood, the wild parties and dating Rick James.  To a young girl of 15, those stories seemed like something from TV itself and far removed from my own piddly little life.  The fact that she even shared her stories with me sent me into a stuper.  I always had stars in my eyes when I listened to Trish talk, she was so glamorous and very, very tough... very passionate and good at "living".  I...

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...

How to Upload Gypsy Cut Files To Your Gypsy

Well... Today was the big day for the Provo Craft Gypsy! Provo Craft FINALLY provided the Cricut Design Studio compatibility and now we also have the added benefit of sharing Gypsy cut files... but it was at a price. I will get to that in a later post. In honor of this occasion though, I will be adding my Gypsy cut files to my blog for everyone to use. You will find my cut files in the top right corner of my blog marked *NEW (at the top of the side bar). The instructions on how to download at the bottom of this post. I hope you all enjoy them... they've been a long time coming. The featured pic here is the "welded Snow" file. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS For those of you who already own the Gypsy, here are the instructions. There is no conversion needed because these files are only .gypsy files. To save them: 1.) Connect your gypsy to your computer, turn it on and open Gypsy Sync on your computer. 2.) Once the Gypsy Sync Program has searched for an updat...
