THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Hi everyone! It's time for my 500 followers giveaway!
At post time, I actually have 534 followers, but it took me a few days to get this ready.

Now I know this isn't as large as some giveaways and I didn't try to get this one sponsored, but I think that I have some really cool things for you guys :)

Lets see exactly what you can win!

You might have noticed this little beauty sitting there:

Yep! It's my franken! Rebecca Likes Cupcakes! Hahaha. I worked my magic and made a second bottle.
I'll try to find some kind of cute sticker to put on it before I send it out.

I'm so totally in love and I know a lot of you guys are too!
See the original post and more pictures here.

China Glaze - Bad Kitty! This is a gorgeous coraly-pink glitter polish with iridescent glitter. So cute. I want this for myself!
So perfect for summer.

Joe Fresh - Grape. This is a really cool blurple metallic foil that I've heard has an awesome duochrome once you get it on the nail! Joe Fresh is a Canadian brand so this is not something you'll see everywhere.

Joe Fresh - Twilight. Flakies!! Flakie lovers rejoice. I swatched this polish here.
Multi-chromatic flakies in a black jelly base. And remember, it's Canadian!

A Nail Art Diva plate and stamping polish!
This is the cutest plate ever.

Love hearts! Best Valentine's Day mani ever, coming right up!

The red stamping polish is just as good as Konad red. Not the best over dark colors but great over light and medium.

The winner will be getting these new in the package but I included my own used ones in some of the photos.

All the prizes are brand new and were bought by me, except the franken which was created from polishes that were used and I also had to test it for opacity. If you do not want to receive that item for this reason, please say so in the comments section of the form.

There you have it!

This giveaway is international and will run for one month, ending on June 18th, 2011.

You must be a follower to enter and must provide me with an email address where I will contact the winner.
Some people have been having trouble loading the follower section in the side bar - if you do not see the follow button, there is also one in the very top bar of my blog. 

You can gain extra entries by blogging about this giveaway, adding me to your blog roll, and by telling me what your favorite nail polish is!


BONUS ENTRY!
Like my Facebook and get another entry! I will be adding each of my facebook followers into my spreadsheet when the giveaway is over so you don't need to notify me that you liked it to qualify for the entry. All you have to do is press like over in my sidebar: ->

And for the second time I don't know how to make this box smaller, so please excuse the form that spills out into my sidebar. (But at least it doesn't cover anything up.)

Thanks everybody! Good luck!
