Just Wing IT

I am soooooooo sorry for the long absence, but things have been HECTIC around here. I'm still polishing away as always, but now I just have to force myself to take pictures lol. 

I am very excited about my most recent purchase and I wanted to share it with you all. I'm not sure many of you know this, but I have been unemployed for several months now. Let me tell you that STINKS when it comes to keeping up with my polish collection lol.  It's so hard to not be able to buy polish when you want, so it's been tough. I won't be out of work for much longer, but meanwhile it's been VERY hard on the polish collection. I figured I had to come up with some sort of a solution for the interim.  So, I started using Swagbucks.  Simply it's a search engine that pays you to use them. You collect points and trade them in for Paypal cash or Amazon Gift cards (even Sephora Gift Cards).  To date I have collected just about 50$ in Amazon Cash and 20$'s in PayPal Cash. Guys that's 70 dollars in just over a month FREE!

Here is my first purchase with my free Amazon Gift Card....(how exciting hehehehe)

OPI- WING IT

This is just simply gorgeous and I was so excited that I HAD to snap pictures of it. 

 

What a beauty :) And I will be doing a full mani with this so stay tuned for pics from that as well.

I took a few angles so you can see the outrageous depth this polish has.

This cost me nothing with my Swagbucks money! Totally Free.

YUMMMY.....

If your interested in joining Swagbucks to earn some free cash for yourself just click HERE to read my original post that explains a little about it. Or click the Swagbucks link in my left side bar and get started right away.

I also have a bunch of fun stuff planned for the next few weeks.  I finally finished my makeup and polish room and I will be posting pictures for you all.  It will be several post, so keep your eyes peeled.  I will also be having a giveaway once I hit 200 followers. FUN FUN FUN. Stay tuned....

Yester...year :)

I wanted to take a small walk down memory lane.  I was just going over my past blog posts, and I wanted to bring back one of my Fav Konadicures that I ever did.  This was posted on my blog when I first started out blogging, and I think I had 2 followers at the time lol.  I think most of you have not seen this so I just had to share it again :) 

I did this for the NCAA Basketball Tournament in March.  I was trying to get a sneaker and basketball look all in one :) 

Base Polish: Nicole by OPI - Fresh Squeezed (3 Coats)

Stripes: Orly Shine (1 Coat)

Konad Black special Polish

Konad Plate: M7 


(Notes: This was done on a week old mani for testing but I loved it so much)

I hope everyone has a wonderful and very safe Labor Day Weekend!

Next, I wanted to let those involved in Swag Bucks that it's "Swag Bucks Friday" today (Extra Swag Bucks earned today).  If you missed my post on Swag Bucks check it out HERE.  It's where you earn money for using there search engine and where I have been getting free polish with my credits: ) You can earn free money for nail polish.  I now have enough for an Amazon.com Gift Card for 5$ to add to the 10$ in Paypal Credit I have already gotten. 15$ in free gift certificates and cash in under a month.

Just scroll ALLLLL the way down and you will see it.



  Also or Swag Bucks, they have an awesome tool bar in the "tools" section that gives you up to the minute codes as well. 


and FINALLY (lol) - Models Own Emerald City  


I actually placed an order months ago for these and I'm so glad I did. This color is BEYOND amazing. Emerald City. To me it flash both green and blue - depending on the light. I took some in direct Sunlight and some in Shade.  I identified Sun and Shade on the pictures so it's clear.  

How Gorgeous is this.  Pics of this is tough. I know in some I look a little "orange" but if you have the color off it looks blue, so there is no way to avoid it. I rather the polish have an accurate color more than my skin LOL. It's a very flashy bright green for sure. Like a Shamrock green - MONEY green and I apologize I did my best on the pics, just add more true green :)

Now for some Shade Shots

I LOVE THIS POLISH. Hope you guys love this polish as much as I do.  Remember you have til midnight to order Models Own at 50% off til Midnight (check Facebook for correct time zones). It's a great time to grab one up for yourself if you don't own this. The Code is: FACEBOOK50 to be used at checkout. 

Thanks for visiting!!!

Free Nail Polish??

Okay Okay - I know all of you have heard many times before there are ways to get free stuff online, but most of it is a serious scam (at least that's my experience).  You have to fill out all these weird surveys and give out your personal information to several unknown companies that just turn around and end up spamming your inbox, and you never get anything in return. Well I found something that is not a scam, and I have gotten FREE NAIL POLISH with it :) Yup you heard me right ...FREE.

A friend sent me over to it. I was hesitant at first, but decided what the heck I'll give it a try since I trust her and know she wouldn't send me somewhere strange lol.. Well it is not a scam at all (I would never promote this unless I knew for sure it wasn't).  It's called Swagbucks and if you use there search engine (just like you use Google and Yahoo for your daily searches on the internet) you earn what are called Swagbucks. You use your Swagbucks and trade them in for PAYPAL dollars, Amazon.com gift cards and even Sephora Gift cards.  Then you can turn around and use the gift cards to buy FREE nail polish. Akkkk - how cool is that! And ....if you're a little insane :P and want something else other than nail polish, then there are all kinds of great gift cards to grab. Some people I have met using it are saving up for a free WII system :)

Again this is not a scam - I promise you. I little pinky swear. I'm an everyday normal person and would never do anything scammy (especially to my faithful readers). It does take some time to accumulate Swagbucks, but who cares, in the end you end up with free stuff for something you where doing anyways (searching on the internet).  It's a great idea even for a Christmas fund, where people save up all year then cash out at one time for Holiday gifts. 




Her are a few fun facts about using Swagbucks....




1. Treasure hunting - The fun part is daily codes that help you gather up additional Swagbucks (outside of just using the search engine).  Most of the codes you have to treasure hunt to find and it's so fun. There is a huge community on Twitter and Facebook to follow along with other players. I love that part - I love hunting for codes! 

2. You can earn bonus Swagbcuks just for shopping at your fav places online. Just a few places that honor this are LUSH.com, Sally's Beauty.com and even Sephora. That's just fabulous - lol.  You earn 2 Swagbucks for ever dollar you spend at those online shops. There are also tons more retailers (over 100) in there shopping section. The Swagbucks pile up when you you utilize that feature.




3. You can take daily surveys (that I love to do).  They are safe and stored right on the home page on your account.  I just did one where you get to watch TV commercials and let them know what you think of them. CHA CHING 150 Swagbucks in 15 minutes lol. An Amazon.com 5$ Gift card is 450 Swagbucks so you can easily get it to add up just doing surveys.

If you're interested in it just click the link in my left sidebar or click HERE. Yes I do benefit from referrals (I get extra Swagbucks) but you benefit too.  You start with 30 free Swagbucks using my link (instead of 0). 

Thanks for listening to me babble about my new obsession of Swagbucks.  I'm currently unemployeed so for me a dollar is a dollar and I got 10$'s in less than a few weeks. It's free nail polish for me.


(UPDATE ON TOTALS: 20$ PAYPAL and 50$ AMAZON as of Sept 20 - 2010)
