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

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?
no, once again, the last one today:

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 :(

There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading.

The Old Clunker

A few years back I received a Creative Zen Micro Photo for Christmas. It was wonderful! The fact that I could finally carry around all my music in a super small (or I thought at the time)2.25" x 3.5" music player was sheer freedom from carrying around that old, large, portable cd player and I won't even go into the tons of music cds that also had to go along for the ride. Ok... so I'll mention them briefly, hahahahaha! And I was also surprised by how much lighter this music player was. At 5.5 oz., wearing it fashionably on an armstrap to the gym put me in the leagues with the top fitness buffs. Then something shifted... I was no longer hip, or in, or cool anymore. Suddenly everything shrunk and my music player was now a gigantic dinosaur! What the heck?!? Now everyone was sporting music players that were as big as the face of a watch and were a million times lighter than mine. All of a sudden I was back in the 7th grade trying to convince my mom to buy me the latest
