Hello my lovelies!! I have finally gotten myself together enough to get a great giveaway put together that I think everyone will love! It is jam packed with great indie polishes as well as some indie bath products. Currently I am still waiting to receive all of the prizes but will post them on Instagram as well as my Facebook page as they come in. Once I receive all of the prizes I will determine what indie products will go in what prize packs and I will post those as well. There will be two winners for this giveaway. One through rafflecopter and one through Instagram. The rules for this giveaway are as follows:
1) Must be 18 years or older unless you have parental consent, which I will need proof of either through a picture of your parent holding a sign saying you may receive the prizes or an instagram video of your parent giving you permission.
2) This giveaway will unfortunately only be for US participants. Eventually, depending on how this one goes, I want to be able to do an international giveaway, but for now, US only or if you have someone with a US mailing address willing to send you the prize then I will send to them for you.
3) Entries can be earned through the rafflecopter widget below. There is also a chance for an entry through instagram as well, so make sure you follow me there @polishednshined for an extra entry opportunity.
4) Please no drama or bullying as that will not be tolerated and if I see it you will be deleted and disqualified from this and future giveaways.
5) Prizes will be sent out as soon as all of the prizes have been received by me and put together to be mailed. I'm hoping that this will only be about a week or so, but I will keep you updated on that through instagram and Facebook.
Other than that, I hope you enjoy this giveaway! The picture below shows all of the awesome indie ladies who have donated to the prizes for this giveaway. The center picture is what I will be contributing to both prize packs which may end up having a few more goodies than shown. Again, I will keep you update with the prizes as they come in. Thanks for being here! I truly appreciate all of the love and support that I receive through this nail community, and I am so grateful to finally be able to give back!

ReplyDeleteI'm from Indiana... I got into polish like 10 years ago... I used to be a nail biter and met this lady with beautiful long nails and I asked her for tips... she said keep em painted pretty and I'd never wanna bite em again... so I did... and I never bit em again!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThats wonderful!! Its so awesome when something as simple as nail polish can break a tough habit!! Thanks for sharing!! :-)
DeleteAmy I started in a similar way! I'm from New Jersey. What got me into polish was that I've always kind of picked at my nails and I knew when I had polish on them I left them alone. Last summer I started buying nail strips with designs on them and one day decided I could probably do some nail art myself. Since then I've been buying up polishes and nail art supplies, googling, reading blogs, IG and facebook feeds -- just soaking in as much knowledge as I could about everything.
ReplyDeleteI love how there's so many people out there sharing their knowledge in all things polish and nails. I learned most everything I know now from IG, youtube, and blogs. So glad you found something that helps you!! <3
DeleteI'm from Illinois and I've always loved nail polish but just recently a year ago have become even more into it. My friends came over with konad stamping supplies and then I was hooked in all things polish. I discovered the indie world over the summer. <3
ReplyDeleteahhh yes, stamping. I have yet to get myself completely into stamping, but I have some plates that I will get around to playing with eventually I hope lol. The indie world is truly amazing and filled with lots of wonderful people. So glad you discovered it :-)
DeleteMe too, Brandy!
DeleteI'm from Louisiana.
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Baton Rouge for five years.... I hated it lol too many people for this Alaska girl :)
DeleteI'm from California. I began buying polishes years ago, but just got into nail art last year. It first started as a way to avoid nail biting, but I fell in love with nail art. I began finding so many talented ladies on IG, I was amazed at what could be done with polish and some creativity. My love for nail art and the nail art community continues to grow. This community is full of the nicest and most supporting people. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely blown away by all of the amazing things you can do with polish as well :)
DeleteI am from Maryland & my 2 best friends got me into polish. they spent the weekend with me and i did their nails and they told me how much of a talent i had, so i got more into it. Also once i found the beautiful nail community on Instagram i knew that i had to get more involved :)
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful!! Instagram fed my addiction for sure with all of the lovely nail accounts over there :-)
DeleteHiiii!
ReplyDeleteMy name's Diana. I'm from Maryland.
I got into polish really young. I would do anything I could. I really got into it when a glitter accent nail became a big trend & it all went uphill from there
Still one of my favorite things to do with a glitter polish :)
DeleteMy name is Christine, and I am from Petersburg, MI. I have been polishing my nails since I was a teen, but lately I have been nail art obsessed. I attended a konad stamping demonstration at a women's show a year ago, and I haven't stopped stamping since!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I really want to get more into stamping :-)
DeleteI'm from Illinois. I've always loved doing nail art, but I reeeally got in to polish when I stumbled across indie polishes on etsy. There were so many beautiful colors, which lead me to liking facebook pages, and instagrams, and seeing everyone's collections, and it kind of made me obsessed. Of course, I'm too, too broke to fuel my obsession, so instead I'm here, entering your giveaway. :)
ReplyDeletelol, oh I understand the being broke part... trust me... polish made me broke I swear!! lol Well I'm glad you entered :-)
DeleteThank you so much for organizing this wonderful giveaway!! Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Boise Idaho, i got into polish at a young age but getting an instagram fueled my addiction. Then i found indies. My wallet has never been so empty! Lol
ReplyDeletethose devilish, addicting indies... I know the feeling well :-) Thanks for entering :-)
DeleteOriginally from the far west suburbs of Chicago, now living in the Phoenix 'burbs. I was bored over this past summer during my 2 yr old's nap time. Looked around Instagram and saw gradient nails. I've been hooked ever since and Love, Angeline got me obsessed with indies. My collection is still kind of small but I still have a blast making my wishlist.
ReplyDeletegradient nails are fun.. and there's so many different color combos to do with them that I could do them forever lol :-)
DeleteWell, I'm from southern California, the L.A. area to be exact. I have been interested in nail polish and nail art for about eight months now. I was hearing all about gradients and water marbling. It really intrigued me and I starting watching YouTube videos all the time. So eventually I decided I want to try it out myself. It is so fun and I can't believe how many nice people there are in the nail community on Instagram. :)
ReplyDeleteyoutube!!! That's where I got all of my inspiration from before I found the nail community on Instagram... they always make everything look so easy though! lol
DeleteI'm originally from McPherson, Kansas and now I live in Chicago...which I love dearly. I kind of just woke up one morning and decided that I love nail polish. So I started a blog and started growing my stash and I haven't looked back since! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteyou're very welcome! Thank you for entering and bringing my attention to the dashing housewife link!!
DeleteBy the way, it looks like it should be dashing_housewifepolish for her instagram handle. I couldn't get the link you provided to work. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Debra and I am from Long Island New York. I was a makeup artist in the 70's and 80's. I grew up loving all things makeup related. I am artistically inclined and find now that I'm older, nails don't show wrinkles and are fun to design.
ReplyDeletehow fun!! I wish I was better at makeup!! I feel like I always look like a clown when I try to get fancy though haha
DeleteI am from Pennsylvania. I have always been into polish and glitter, but The Nailasaurus really got me into nail art and I have had my own page for about 9 months.
ReplyDeleteI love The Nailasaurus!!! Thanks for entering!
DeleteI'm from Houston, Texas, and I've always been into polish, as long as I can remember, my Mom loves polish, and I remember wanting her to paint my nails when I was little, I have always been crafty too, so I would paint my nails with acrylic paint in high school, so I could make colors I wanted, mostly black though, back then you could only get black at Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I need a little girl :-) So I can share my love of polish with her and have her remember things like that :-)
DeleteWhat is GFC?
ReplyDeleteI am from California. What got me into nail polish was my mom. when i was a kid my mom had me paint her nails & she would paint mine. I would do them every week so it would be a nice mother daughter bonding. and then i wanted to do more than just a color so i would add some simple designs like flowers. now i do different designs and its so much fun.
ReplyDeletethat's such a great memory to share with your mother :-) I need a little girl ASAP lol
DeleteThis giveaway is tops! I live in Southern California, my nail polish obsession began about 2-3 years ago. I was going through a rough patch in my relationship with my boyfriend and my mom took me for a pedi to cheer me up. I picked out China Glaze Flying Dragon and marveled that it was matte! I asked if I could buy the bottle on the spot and they said no. I whipped out my phone, snapped a pic of the bottom of the bottle and hit up Sally's. The color was sold out for weeks, when I finally got it I did a happy jig. I never knew polish came in matte finish, I never knew a neon fuschia could lift my spirits so strongly. I've been obsessesed ever since.
ReplyDeleteOoOoOo Flying Dragon is one of my faves!! I love matte polishes too!! :-)
DeleteWhat's gfc?
ReplyDeletegfc is Google Friend Connect, you can find the app for it at the top right hand side of her page.
DeleteI live in Bend, Oregon. I have always loved polish…ever since I was a little girl I was always the most excited about polish, and always wanted to paint my friends nails. But I got into nail art about 2 years ago. It was mostly because of Chalkboard Nails. I found her somehow on the Internet (it's not hard since she is so popular :P) and I decided to test it out…then I fell in love!
ReplyDeleteIts great to be able to have the internet nowadays isnt it? So much inspiration out there and people for all of us to look up to. Thanks for entering!
DeleteI'm from nj and I've always loved nail polish but didn't really love painting my nails bc I was so sloppy and was never patient enough to let them dry! I got really into it after being inspired by the nails I saw browsing IG and my polish addiction exploded around this time last year! =)
ReplyDeleteI used to be very impatient for my polish to dry too lol. And I'm still a fairly sloppy painter... clean-up is my best friend now haha Thanks for entering!!
Deletewell, I hope I can keep my passion about nails for as long as you have then ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm from PA, and I've always been into nail polish, when I was a child I would gothrough bottles of Bon Bons nail polish(looks them up). xD And years went by but what got me wanting more, going out, being creative with colours and pretties was when my daughter was 3 months, the first month was so stressful and I just became so alone even though I had my newborn and living with my parents, I just felt alone cause my three siblings have school, my dad work and my mum was always busy with house work or talking to family/friends. That plus problems with the "baby daddy" trying to get into my head more and only kept talking to me to get his old bear back. He wanted nothing on being a "dad" only some of his family who also made no effort. So finally looking through my purse who his new girl he cheated on me and left me for brought to me I saw my 20 nail polishes I had and I just remembered how much I loved painting my nails. And from then on, 18 months later I have a pretty decent collection of drugstore polishes. C: Also collecting and painting my nails are kinda my happy place, my "void" as some would call. ^^
ReplyDeleteI am originally from Ocala, FL but now live in Morganton, NC. I honestly got into nail art thru IG! I'd see everyone's gorgeous photos and thought, I can do that!! Now I am obsessed!!
ReplyDeleteBTW- I followed you on GFC and G+, but it won't change from" follow this site to following" for some reason. At first, it DID switch, but when I looked again it had switched back. I keep trying! I've never had trouble following anyone else with GFC. This may just be a fluke, but I wanted you to know that if it doesn't show up that I DID follow and didn't cheat on my entry-LOL!
DeleteWhat a great giveaway Brandy.who ever wins will be very lucky!
ReplyDeleteOriginally I am a Valley Girl, transplanted to Florida when I was young. I originally got into collecting polish through couponing, and my 9 year old son's addiction to YouTube. He saw a nail art video from Cute Polish and told me I should try it, so I did and 8 months, and almost 300 bottles later here I am :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE nail polish and am really loving the nailart community on Instagram!! I found my peeps!! I'm from Wa state and have always loved nail polish and Bout 2 years ago bought the WHOLE Nicki Minaj collection and it was all over after that
