300th Post Giveaway

I was going to wait to post this, but the timing just worked out perfectly for me to do it now. :)

This is Manicure Mommas 300th post. Who knew back in December of 2008 when Sasha emailed me with the idea of starting this blog that there was so much we had to say about nail polish?

I guess Sasha knew. ;P

Of course she knew me from my main blog for over a year already, so she knew I had plenty to say no matter what the topic.

So, in honor of our 300th post, I am giving away 2
OPI polishes from the Hong Kong collection!

Are you interested yet?

Good.

Here are the details on how to win. PLEASE follow the directions carefully. I will disqualify you if you don't.


The Prizes:

One brand new bottle of Jade is the New Black
and one brand new bottle of Pearl of Wisdom.

If you haven't seen swatches of these yet, check back here in the next couple of days and you will.


Whatcha gotta do to win:

To win Jade is the New Black, just leave a comment telling me what your favorite gemstone is. That's it. It's just that simple. :)

To win Pearl of Wisdom, email me and tell me what other OPI collection had a Pearl of Wisdom color (I'm thinking it's the same color, but I have no proof of this). DO NOT post this answer in the comments. I will only accept your answer if you email me.

This rule is a must! This is your main entry.


For additional chances to win Jade is the New Black:

  • Follow this blog (if you already do, that counts)...leave a separate comment telling me

  • Tweet this contest...leave a separate comment including your tweet link

  • Post about this contest on your own blog...leave a separate comment about your post

Winners are chosen by Random.Org, if you want all your chances counted, make sure you leave individual comments!


I'm sorry, but I will not be offering additional chances to win Pearl of Wisdom. Winning that polish is contingent on getting the trivia answer correct. I will compile all correct answers, place the names in The Hat and choose the winner that way.


  • Contest ends Monday, 3/22 12AM EST. (I guess that's technically midnight Monday morning, but you get the idea)

  • Open to everyone

  • Rules for each entry must be followed to be valid


  • Good luck!

    Entries for this contest are now closed. Thank you for entering. The winner will be announced sometime today.


    Pin It!

    Great contest! My favorite gem is a classic opal, which perhaps explains my obsession with flaky nail polishes! LOL.
