POP Nail Contest!

Nail art is huge - from rhinestones to glitter, 3D fimo nail canes to snakeskin, nail foil stickers to water marbling, you name it, it's been thought of (or done!).  Today, I've been given the awesome opportunity to host a Nail Art contest with pop beauty (also found on Twitter and Facebook).  

The rules* are simple:

[1] You must be a US resident, 18 years or older.

[2] Email one (1) picture to krystal@polishgalore.com featuring at least three (3) fingers that have nail art on them.  You may choose any kind of nail polish (or acrylic paint!) brand, finish, color or technique.  You will receive an email within 48 hours of your submission as confirmation.

[3] You must submit your own pictures.

[4] All submissions must be received by 21 September 2011 midnight GMT.  (That is 20 September, 7 p.m. CST.  Please adjust for your individual time zone.)  Late submissions will not be accepted.

The winner, chosen by the ladies and gentlemen behind PolishGalore, will receive: 5 new pop nail glam shades – value of $60 USD to be fulfilled by Y! Public Relations

After the winner is announced, all images will be posted for everyone to enjoy.  (Permission & credit will be requested before images go live.)

Now, you know I'm not a great nail artist, but art is art!  Here is what will work, and what won't.

Submission Example #1

This will not work because it's only one (1) nail and not three (3).

Submission Example #2

This will not work because there isn't any nail art on the nails.

Submission Example #3

This works because there is nail art on at least three (3) nails.

*PolishGalore has the right to disqualify a submission if it does not follow the above rules.

As an added bonus, pop beauty is providing all PolishGalore readers with a discount code, good until 31 October 2011 for 30% off any purchase from their website!  Just use the code THIRTYOFF during checkout.  Woot!


So start sending in those pictures - I can't wait to see them!  Comments have been disabled for this post, but please feel free to email me with any questions!
