Giveaway Winner!

So my Essie giveaway ended last night and I have the winner for you guys! But first, like always, I'd like to say couple of things.

I was really pleased that you guys liked this giveaway! I had quite a number of entries and also quite a number of so lovely comments. I've read them all and I just wanted to thank you guys! I can't really believe I have such awesome readers!

Also, you had very interesting wishes and suggestiongs, I'll try to do those as much as I can. You asked me to do more tutorials and I already did one, but hopefully I'll have time to do more of those. I also got some really nice posting ideas thanks to you, so look forward seeing those too. Many of you also wanted to see more of my comparison posts and I've been taking some pictures already, so you'll be seeing more of those too. If there's something you'd like to see here in my blog in the future, you can of course always request something by writing a comment here in my blog or emailing me.

But I know you're all eager to know the giveaway winner, so let's get to it. I had total of 642 entries to this giveaway (those extra entries included) and I used random.org to select the winner:


The lucky number was 52 and so the winner is EliZaaa. Congrats! I'll contact the winner shortly.

Thank you all who participated! I can't really thank you enough for all your lovely comments and feedback! Be sure to stick around as there might some giveaway coming up in the future too. ;)

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go - Day 1 - Achromatic

Well hello there gorgeous readers!  Today is a special day, as it is the first day of the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go challenge (referred to as NAGG from now on), hosted by the fabulous Missy from Gnarly Gnails. I mentioned in my Bucket List at the start of the year, that I wanted to take part in at least a few of these prompts, and I will be.  In fact, I'm doing the whole challenge, so without further ado, lets get into Day 1.

The prompt for today is Achromatic, and I'll admit that at first, I wasn't totally sure what the difference between achromatic and monochrome was, but a quick Google search remedied that.  Achromatic means devoid of colour, so essentially, greyscale.
I originally planned to do a gradient, but changed my mind at the last minute, and decided to do some basic colour blocking instead.  I started with a base of Sinful Colors - Snow me White, then just freehanded the black and grey with my striper brush and La Femme - Silverado (I think), and Sinful Colors - Black on Black.
Then I added a coat of L'Oreal - Confetti, and top coated, and mattified it once it was dry.  I did get some glossy pictures too, as Confetti does have little specks of holo in it, although they were quite hard to capture on camera - they just look like little white specks here.
This was a really simple mani, but I quite liked it, especially matte.  I did consider using tape to get straighter lines, but I figured it wouldn't matter too much since I was planning on using a glitter topper anyway.
I'll be back tomorrow with Day 2, but in the meantime, why not check out some of the other mani's for this prompt via the thumbnails below :)
