Essence MAGNETIC nail polish **swatches and 5 pc GIVEAWAY**

Dear Lacqueristas,

A while ago I posted about the Essence Metallics trend edition. In this collections are 5 nail polishes, 4 of them are magnetic. Since this collection is sought after and most likely to be sold out quickly, I decided to make a giveaway for you all. At the bottom of this post you will find the form to enter.

I have swatched the entire collection:

My favorite: Copper Rulez!

Skittle swatches of all four so you can compare.

These polishes have magnetic particles in it that line up accordingly when you hoover the magnet over the freshly polished nail. Copper Rulez! seems to have the best effect. It is my favorite out of this collection.

The magnet comes with a manual, it shows you what patterns you can make. You have to buy the magnet seperately.

The complete Magnetic Collection. This is also the price you can win with my Magnetic Giveaway.



Giveaway

Now you have the chance to win the entire Essence Magnetic Polishes plus the magnet. Please fill out the form to enter this giveaway. It will be open untill december 5th and the winner will be announced here shortly after. Good luck!

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

HTF OPI My Private Jet holo giveaway! Open to anyone, just 1 rule!

Dear Lacqueristas,

I have gotten so many emails of people that were sad that they couldn't qualify for my Nfu.Oh giveaway (which btw is still open to enter, check out if you qualify to win these 7 Nfu.Oh items!)

In my original post I promised you another giveaway that would be open to enter for anybody. Well, here it is:

OPI My Private Jet Original holographic version!!!

A while ago I was in the Santo Domingo in a mall with a small OPI display and I couldn't believe my luck when I found THIS! I bought it and ran outside in the sun to see if it really was what I thought it was... when the sun struck the bottle in my hand, I knew it could be only one version of MPJ... holographic heaven! I went back in and found one other bottle, that I bought with the intention to share with my fellow lacqueristas ;-)

My Private Jet came out in the OPI Bright Nights collection in 2007. It is a charcoal jelly base with holographic glitter. Very unique and flattering. My Private Jet is still available but not in this original version. Nowadays there's about 6 other versions. I own a bottle of the brown MPJ that is widely available in retail and the difference with the original is huge.

Trivia:

* MPJ is one of Kim Kardashian favourite polishes. Even featured in their reality show

*Sometimes you could find the original MPJ on Ebay. The biddings go up to 75 dollars

The sought after original version of MPJ is getting so hard to find that many lacqueristas that finally do get their hands on one prefer to layer it over a black base. Because the formula is very sheer you would have to put 4 layers of MPJ to reach opacity.

But now, here's you chance to WIN your own brand new bottle of the original My Private Jet! The rules???

*You have to be a follower with Google Friend Connect

*  One entry per person

To enter this giveaway you will have to leave a comment with your email adress. You may want to disguise it for Googlebots but make sure I can still make out what your email is.

No extra entries, so even if you don't own a blog or if you don't have twitter you will have the same chance to win.

This giveaway will be opent to enter until August 7th, and the winner will be drawn shortly after.
Good luck to you all :-)

Do you know more trivia about this nailpolish? ( I will use your trivia in this post)
Have you ever ran into a HTF just like that?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

Dear Lacqueristas,

Eversince I started this blog I have been reviewing brands like Catrice and H&M. I didn't realized that many of my readers live in countries where these brands are not or hardly available. The last day I have even teased you with posting reviews of mouthwatering polishes of these brands.... and the reason was:
