{Giveaway} CSN Stores!

Things at home are so crazy and my previous desk was driving me nuts! Sharing one small desk with my brother?! The idea of the L shaped desk lets both my brother and I share a desk together with enough space for both of us! :)

CSN Stores has offered to sponsor a giveaway for necessary★nails readers, $50 for you to spend at CSN! What I would get with $50 at CSN, take a look:

These cherry blossom wall decals are beauutiful! And I'd definitely love to cover my boring light pink walls with this baby right here! :] I've always loved cherry blossoms and it would make my room amazing... SERIOUSLY.

or maybe... this big flower wall decal :)! This wall decal would do the same exact thing to my boring walls like the cherry blossom wall decals but this one is customizable, which is even better! But you aren't limited to only wall decals, check out their website and you'll see tons of items that will maybe interest you!~

I will be randomly picking ONE lucky winner to receive the $50 promotional code to spend on whatever you want from CSN stores, which has over 200+ stores and TONS of awesome things to drool over! :)

To enter:
1. You must be a follower, comment with your follower name & email.
2. Go to CSN stores and tell me what you would get from there with $50.
3. {optional} 'Like' CSN store on Facebook! Don't forget to tell me the name you're following them with.

Giveaway will end on March 12, 2011 at 11:59pm EST. I will post the winner the following day from random.org.

Don't miss out on this great opportunity! :)

The Daily Nail

The Daily Nail is one of my favorite nail bloggers simply because there's so much nail art and it's always something different and unique that I wouldn't have thought of doing. To celebrate her one year of blogging, she is giving away TEN randomly selected Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicures! But ENTER ASAP because it's ending TODAY at 11:59PM PACIFIC TIME!!

All you have to do is be a follower, tell her how long & what is your favorite SHCSM polish and why!

Now GO GO GO !!

Another Winner & Mani.

Since Sue didn't respond to me within 48 hours (I gave an extra day), I picked another winner randomly. The new winner is joanne.j ! Congratuations and thank you so much for your input on your entry into the giveaway! I will definitely try to post more pedicures although I don't like my feet at all x___x; maybe I'll crop them out. Anyways Joanne, I hope you get back to me within 48 hours or I'll have to pick another winner.

And as an extra, here's one of my new favorite plain but beautiful mani.

The manicure below is OPI Reserve from their Designer Series. It's a beautiful pink mauve which holographic shine. The holographic isn't very noticeable, but you can see most of it in the light. For the mani., I used 2 coats of Reserve and 1 coat of Seche top coat. I love this color! It's such a 'reserved' or conservative color with a twist, a holographic twist that makes it conventional and non-conventional at the same time! Totally awesome! And if you noticed the ring, I picked that up at H&M because when I saw it, I knew I had to have it! ^_______^; They had it in gold too but I'm not that fond of gold jewelry, lol.

Hope you enjoyed,

<3katherine

And the winner is....................

When my giveaway was open and the entries started increasing, I began to keep track early of the entries into a spreadsheet. Today I picked out the winner. A total of 183 entries not including the disqualified entries which were about 10 of them. I'm really happy that the turnout was amazing. I really didn't expect that many entries and I'm definitely taking all your comments and suggestions to better my blog and make sure that I provide as much as I can to you girls. :)

And without dragging on further, the winner of my FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY is............

ENTRY #132 Sue (okibi_insanity) !!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS SUE! :)

and if you're reading this now, I already sent you an email!

Thank you to everyone who entered! You really made me happy because I never expected this many people to enter in. :)

Now, if Sue claims her prize within 24 hours it's hers.

If not, I will have to re-draw!

Hope you enjoyed and there will be more giveaways in the future!
