Snail Mail No More.

If you are wondering why I'm starting today's post with a random shot of my bulletin board, the answer is that it's the home to my letter stating that I was a runner up in the Teen Vogue/CND nail art contest. I entered the contest back in the summer and didn't give it much thought after that. The first prize was going to fashion week, but at the time of the contest I was having a nail art related mental block and ended up just submitting something from the beginning of summer. I wasn't expected to hear anything back from Teen Vogue or CND, but around a week and a half this letter and twelve CND polishes showed up at my house!
I received 6 colors (Raspberry Plunge, Flashpoint, Electric Orange, Bicycle Yellow, Asphalt, and Oilslick) and 6 effects (Raspberry Sparkle, Copper Pearl, Sapphire Sparkle, Violet Shimmer, Gold Pearl, and Gold Shimmer), which can be layered over any other nail polish for a different result.

So far I've played around with most of the polishes and I love them. They are great quality, you can get a perfect opaque look in just one or two coats, and all the effects add so many different options. I haven't had the chance to do any crazy nail art with these just yet, but since this is a nail post, I thought I'd include a few of my recent favorites at the end!


That's it for now, hope your week is off to a great state!
