Ida Nails It Summer Giveaway!

Hey everyone! Today brings a special blog post. I have had this giveaway in the works for quite some time now. It was originally meant to be a blog anniversary giveaway. My previous blog anniversary was in August 2014. Yup, I have had these polishes for almost an entire year! I KNOW. I apologize for the much MUCH belated-ness of this. So this instead of a blog anniversary giveaway, this is more of a Hurray! SUMMER IS HERE AND IT'S AWESOME! type of giveaway. 

Thank you to Crows Toes, Darling Diva Polish, and Elevation Polish for generously donating the prizes. These are brands I have represented proudly and who have become friends to me as well. They are just wonderful and if you read this blog you probably have seen their polishes and even more likely, have purchased from them. 

And a great big THANK YOU to all my readers and viewers. Whether you just were looking for a swatch photo and stumbled upon my blog or read each and every single line, this blog would not have gotten this far without you. ALL THE HUGS FOR YOU!!






Now, without further ado, let's see what the prize polishes are!

Crows Toes Ingrounded
Three coats
Aqua blue jelly base with blue/purple color shifting glass fleck shimmer, blue iridecence and shimmer and sparks of holo super-fine micro-glitter
This is one that was recently released in Crows Toes Nitty Gritty Collection. It's a aquatic beauty to be sure. A lot complexity and sparkle. 




(Direct Sunlight)


Darling Diva Polish Rouge
Two coats
Rouge red linear holographic
A deep and vampy classic red. Gorgeous in natural lighting and just outstanding in the sun. This is a custom named polish, though for those who don't end up winning, Darling Diva Polish Grand Rite is super close in color. 




(Direct Sunlight)


Elevation Polish Cactus Flower
Two coats
Coral creme low density linear holographic
A creamy and dreamy coral pink. It's just a tad dusky in coloring and the holo sparkle gives it some extra oomph. This was originally released as a part of Elevation Polish's Annual Charity Auction in 2014




(Direct Sunlight)
