Globe & Nail 1-Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

So I'm getting pretty excited over here, my 1-year blogiversary is quickly approaching!!  I can't believe I've been blogging for almost a year now, the time has flown by.  When I started Globe & Nail, it was just an outlet for my nail polish problem addiction hobby, and I never imagined it would turn into such a huge part of my life!  I'm constantly humbled by the positive responses to my blog, and for that I'm so grateful to all my readers, old and new!

So, it's finally time to give back to you guys!  I've got 26 new polishes to give away to two lucky winners.  The giveaway starts today and will close on Saturday, April 27th, which is the date of my blogiversary!

There are 6 full-size Wonder Beauty Products polishes generously provided by the lovely Leah Ann from Llarowe, and 1 full-size as well as 19 mini WingDustCollections polishes generously provided by Stephanie, the creative mind behind WingDust.  The prizes are as follows:


Prize #1:
Wonder Beauty Products Kismet, Euphoria, and Roxie Hart.
WingDustCollections Love, Love Me Do!, Night Fury, After The Storm, Total Pink Bomb, Boogie Wonderland, Shake Ya Tail Feathas, Easter Egg Hunt, Blue Steel, HOPE, and Deep Deep Trouble


Prize #2:
Wonder Beauty Products Let's Play Footsie, 1 Dozen Heart Bouquet, and Blue Sterling.
WingDustCollections Dancing Queen, Gilty Pleasure (23-karat gold and silver flake topper, this is the full-size), Mind Blue-ing, Grey Sky Morning, Once In A Blue Moon, Snake Skin Shoes, Breathing Underwater, Funky Town, Sea Shell Bra, and Fairy Blind

For larger photos of each of these polishes, you can check out the Llarowe Wonder Beauty Products and WingDustCollections pages.  Take a good look, because in the Rafflecopter widget below you'll have to tell me which prize you'd like if you were to win! 

The giveaway is open to Canadian and continental US mailing addresses only; prizes are all unused and will be shipped by me directly to the winners.  You must be at least 17 years old or have parental permission to enter.  Once the winners have been contacted, they will have 48 hours to reply and claim their prizes.  If each prize is not claimed within 48 hours, another winner will be chosen.  The packages will be shipped directly from me to each winner.  I will package the polishes as safely as I can, but am not responsible for any damages done to the prizes after they leave my possession.

  1. Thank you so much for this giveaway! I'm not one who can afford indie polishes so if you could make posts about more affordable brands. Your nails are gorgeous. Have you ever made frankens?

    1. Thanks for the feedback! I always try to use more affordable polishes (or easily dupe-able ones) in my nail art posts, and even slightly more expensive brands like OPI and Essie I always buy on sale at Winners (TJ Maxx or Marshall's in the US) because full-price polish is often unrealistic financially :)

      Delete
    2. And no, I've never made any frankens. Figure I'd leave that to the experts, I don't have enough time!

  2. Congratulations, Emma! You are such a sweetheart, it makes me happy to see how much success you've had over the past year. May you have many more satisfying years of blogging ahead!

  3. I love this blog! I would like to see more tutorials perhaps with your efforts in stamping, especially for those of us starting to branch out from buying polishes to creatively displaying them.

    Thank you for the giveaway. I never win, but I also never hesitate to enter. :-)

  14. Happy Anniversary! Even though I am fairly new to your blog (thanks to your gorgeous swatches featured by Leah-Ann), you are one of my favorite nail bloggers to check out. Gorgeous photos, and keep on swatching those indie polishes! Maybe do a few more comparison type posts? There always seem to be a crazy amount of duping between brands. :) Keep up the great work, and seriously, your photos are my favorite among the nail bloggers.

  57. Happy blogiversary! I have to say that i L-O-V-E your blog soooooooo much! You're, like, the ideal blogger. And I really like that you also use affordable brands. I still can't afford brands like the ones you use and besides, I can't even buy any at an affordable price (at least that's what I think, because very few brands ship to Romania, so yeah..) I'd really love to see nail-art posts and also do a photo or video tutorial for some of them which aren't that easy to do. Love you, Emma! xx

  64. I think it would be great to see more tutorials and I think a "jelly sandwich" manicure would be cool because no one's been doing them since there was the hugr rage about them when they were first popular!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'd love to see more tutorials, especially one that involves sloths! Swatches are also incredibly helpful when looking to get some more polish. On the other hand perhaps we don't need more temptation to buy more! Haha.

    Also thank you for the giveaway. :)

  79. You're one of my favorite nail girls on IG, can't believe I missed the post about the giveaway! Love what you said waaay up there about some polish brands being overpriced. I totally agree with you - I try not to pay more than $5 ($6 at most!) for nail polish, so that means buying undiscounted retail price OPI, China Glaze, etc. is out. (Don't even get me started on Deborah Lippman!) I've never owned any indies before so it's awesome that you're giving everyone a chance to have some of their own :) Thank you so much!
