Over the recent years I painted my nails only on formal occasions. It's a hit-&-go method by sloshing the polish onto nails without any defined strokes. But I will make sure nails are coated in two layers to hide the imperfections :) Well now, through blog-reading I discovered the importance of caring my hands and nails and the widely-accepted method of painting them. As a start, I bought drugstore products to file my nails, remove cuticles and strengthen them on a weekly basis.
The first ever investment on nail polishes is OPI Tickle My France-y. I chose it as a safe color to practice my painting skills and the shade will be great for office wear. Then my spending advances to nail care & treatments, OPI base coat, ridge-filler, Nubar top coat. Adding to the basket are colored polishes with more OPI, one mini Essie (more to come, waiting for spree order to arrive!) and Orly. I don't think I will stop buying though.. I'm intrigued by all the colors, advanced treatment and interesting techniques available! My next to-do will be nail art and konad stamping.. not gonna be easy for a clumsy person like me but I really wanna try!
Anyhoo, I will elaborate further on my learning curve next time. The purpose of this post is intended to be advertorial. Below you'll find some Giveaways that I'm excited about, and of course, blogging about them is to increase my chances in winning!!!!
Ok here goes:

What's so exciting about this?
Look at the prizes look at the prizes!! It takes 11 finger movements to scroll through the list of products you can grab from 1st prize! Sara is giving away eyebrow pencils, lip glosses, limited edition OPI set, wide range of nail polishes, nail files and other beauty products! What I lust after is Incoco dry nail applique which I saw from Asami! Other than this, I have been contemplating on Eyeko polishes that I can purchase from their official site. But waiting time is as good as spree's and I need to test the application before buying them in bulk :P
On to the second and third prize, comprises of nail polishes and hand scrub. Barry M is not available in Malaysia so I really want to try it. I would love to have the Vintage Vixen too, c'mon they're from China Glaze!

What's the hype?
I don't have China Glaze nail polish yet. So if I ever win 1st prize, I gonna receive not one but twelve nail polishes! It's the Holiday Collection, which means it fits into December decorations perfectly! I've heard heaps of compliments on China Glaze and Asami uses it to stamp her nails. I want I want!
But what I'm interested are 2nd and 3rd prizes. We don't have NOX here so having it is like a bonus point! She's giving six bottles! SIX BOTTLES! I love the bottle design, so chic! The teal shade caught my eyes! I haven't own any Konad products yet, so even if I don't have nail polishes, I have the chance to win five Konad plates! Not one not two but FIVE in one go!

What's the story?
I'm not sure how quick the giveaway is but she allows winners to choose their own prize :D And what's even more enticing, there're extra gifts for you to take home - Revlon and Nailene. Not either one, it's BOTH!!
Let's look at the prizes;
- Prize 1 consists of nail polishes I never heard of - P2, thus I wanna try, as well as eyeshadow palette. I like the eyeshadow palette since I prefer subtle shades.
- Prize 2 has Eclipse nail polishes with one lip gloss. I'm targeting the pink polish :P
- Prize 3 sums up with Claire's, P2 and Essence products. I'm curious about Claire's nail polish and would love to have the cuticle gel as I'm currently using disposable Qtip cuticle conditioner.
- Now for Prize 4, it's a w-o-a-h. So many products! I've never heard of UMA, MNY and Catrice before. On top of the nail polishes and cuticle oil, she's adding blusher and eyeshadow palette (for smokey eyes. That's about seventeen products in one prize! How cool is that?
So if you think about it, you'll definitely choose Prize 4 as I would :) With added bonus of extra Revlon and Nailene, it'll be the best Christmas gift to receive from a stranger!

Now what? More nail polishes?
Yes, yes and yes. Why not? If you love to paint your nails, you seldom stop at few bottles :P
I find myself staring at numerous nail polish brands that I've never heard of. This excites me further. I have seen swatches on Koh products and so far the reviews are good!
Witoxicity will allow winners to choose one of the prize packages; either Bright or Dark.
Lemme see;
- Package 1 has a more pinks, stamping design and a matte top coat.
- Package 2 consists a variety of dark shades and stamping design.
I would love to have a matte topcoat but too many pinks stains the mood? Haha, that's crap. I prefer dark colors and 'm greedy on the different shades package 2 has to offer.
In order to get more out of the prizes, I'll choose package 2. I'll just have to order the matte topcoat elsewhere.
Oh not to forget, she will give two HEMA nail polishes as consolation prizes. Goodies goodies!

Is this as good as the rest, seriously?
Of course! Look at the shades! Multi chromatic, holographic kinda shades! How can you miss that?
"Ozotic is kind of like the white unicorn of Aussie polishes - magical, beautiful but incredibly rare and hard to find, esp for people overseas."She's giving away seven Ozotic chromatic polishes, all in different shades. You know once you own one of these, you'll be dying to have the rest! I have participated in Nail Galore MAC Venomous Villian Giveaway so if I don't win it (highly possible) then at least I can pin my hopes on Ozotic's. At best I hope to win both.. hahaha...
And mind you, these are not minis. Seven of them in regular sizing. Geez I'm thinking of applying all of them to my 10 nails just to create the cosmic-chaos kinda effect. My colleagues gonna freak out. Lol. Oh well, if only I win :P
