First of all, thanks for hosting a great giveaway! My Instagram username is @amvpnails and my email adress is apowers@acs.ac. My name is Amanda, and I am a teacher in TN. This is my tenth year teaching, and I love it. I started doing nail art this summer as a way to shut my mind off at night because I was planning a wedding (got married October 5th), just moved positions at school and moved again for this year, and I am a full time Ph.D. student. Needless to say, I had a lot on my mind. Your awesome pics of your nails inspires me to stop, concentrate, and create something beautiful, and for for that, I am grateful!
PS – I tried to post this once, so it if shows up more than once, sorry!
No problem Hun. Thanks for sharing and thanks for entering Amanda xx

I do believe that we are here to laugh at the difficulties we have , and to live it so good that death be afraid to take us ! That’s what I believe in it’s my motto 🙂
P.s : I live in Isreal and that fact is definitely not helping my nail art im doing nail art for about year now and I have never like never tried Essie before ( yes, it’s a disasters ) not only that I didn’t try China Glaze , Ncla , Picture Polish , Sally Handson they all aren’t available unfortunately also I entered a lot of giveaways I just don’t have luck ! So if I do win this I would still believe that there’s some faith in the world haha .
Plus if you go through my page on instagram you can see that my designs don’t suck at all !
Fingers crossed like really really want to get this! Other girls can just buy it but in my case that isn’t an option so if I win this I would be thankful gurl !
Thanks a lot much love much love from Isreal and I do love your designs peace !!!
Thanks for entering Maram xx
Also, beauty was a way to overcome being bullied through primary school, I felt so horrible about myself but that was my little way of making my self have a bit of self confidence. Your amazing nails inspired me, I have admired your designed for ages! They are beautiful and so perfect! I hope to someday be as good at you at this and I would love to own some of my own Essie nail polishes to help me achieve this! Xxx
Aww thanks xx
No problem, x

Hi! My name is Eliatha, pronounced Eh-lee-ah-tah. (It’s French ^.^) I just turned 18 on veterans day and I live in the state of New Jersey. My instagram username is __LotusFlowerBomb (two underscores). I do nail art but they are not nearly as beautiful and creative as yours. My passion for nail art/polish came out of nowhere and I have no clue what got me into it, but now that I am into it my nails always look fab! This giveaway is just what I need to add to my collection. I don’t enter giveaways that have items I know I will not use because, even though there is a tiny chance that I might win, it is still selfish of me and I might stand in the way of someone who truly deserves to win. But anyways, you’re amazing and good luck to everyone!
BTW: My email is Eliatha_Josius@Bloomfield.edu
Aww thanks for your entry Hun xx

Hi I’m Evelyn and I’m 12 years old. My passion is singing and nail art. (I’m not that good) My mom was a nail artist but had stopped but I had really took an interest. Ever since I started painting my nails I thought I was amazing and everyone told me I was good, but now I realized they just made me feel better and I was terrible. But now I’m kinda good but I have found a new passion singing. Just as my nail art I was terrible, but I have Gotten so much better and it’s my true passion I love singing and art! It’s all I think about. (which is bad since I’m in 7th grade…) And lastly my IG name is _dear_no_one_ ! Good luck to everyone! And to the future winner congratulations!!!!

Im 20 years old and i have a 1 year old daughter. shes so spunky and such a diva. When i was in grade school i was so shy, i didnt make many friends. I loved painting my nails since i was little. I would do different designs and the girls at school would compliment them and ask how i did them. It brouhht me out of my shell. And now even with a daughter i always find time to do the thing i love and thats painting my nails!
I always find time for nails too even though I have 2 yr old twin girls lol thanks for entering xx
Hi I’m Brooke!! I’m obsessed in painting my nails! My friends always ask me to do them! I am 12 and I have a twin brother! What is really cool is that my dad is deaf and I know sign language! Well anyway, I love making designs to my nails all the time but I really love sparkles! My mom says the glitter does come out like it looks.. I really don’t have a big collection and itwould be amazing to win this! Maybe i could prove to my mom that it looks great!!!Thank you!
Yay for twins I have identical twin girls. And I’m deaf in my right ear lol but I don’t know sign language, I should probably learn xx
Hi Atima 🙂
You probably don’t remember me, but I remember you ! My ig account is @nail_newbee.
I’m actually a quite private person. I wasn’t when I was younger, but I grew up, and learned the hard way that sometimes it’s best to keep you personal stuff for yourself… Well this wasn’t supposed to be something sad ! 😀
Just an explanation of why I’m not going to tell my life story 😉 – and then of course because of the space.. 😉
Though I want to share a little something with you that nailpolish and nailart did for me and my little world ! 🙂
I seem like a very secure woman with confidence and control over my life. But the truth is that I’m just as insecure and clumsy as anybody else… 😉 After a hard time in life I stared polishing my nails, became a part of the ig nail community and then I actually won your beginner bling bling nailart contest ! 🙂 I’m not a beginner anymore but what nailart did for me at that dark time, was giving me confidence in myself again, giving me hope and joy 🙂
So nailart got stuck with me 😉
Joy in a tiny little bottle ♡
What more can you possibly ask for in a nailpolish? 😉
One of my favourite brads is essie. And of course Denmark is such a small country so that the newest collection we have is the old essie lux effects.. sigh 😉
Love and best wishes
Louice
Oh Loucie of course I remember you. Ahh you story really sticks with me as its the exact reason I took up nail art. After having had an operation to correct my hearing problems I suffered from facial palsy due to my facial nerve being damaged. For almost a yr I couldn’t smile, then I got pregnant found out I was having twins was very sick during the pregnancy. So my confidence was very low and nail art really helped a lot. Thanks for sharing your story.

Hey there Birthday girl! First of all best wishes and congrats on your 50k followers!
). I’m pretty sure I was one of the first of my girlfriends trying out nail art, and beautiful nail polishes are what inspire me the most and boost that small amount of creativity I have that only comes out when I’m working on my nails. Anyways, sadly it’s been a while since I updated my (not too small) nail polish collection due to excessive exams and college applications, so it would be wonderful to win these gorgeous essie polishes and get back in the mood for beautiful nail art.
So, my name is Paula and I’m 17. When I was little a had a huuuggeee nail biting problem and nail art saved me! (my nails are still a bit weak because of that bad habit though
I hope I have a chance! And thanks for all your amazing posts and the inspiration you give all of us nail polish junkies, keep it up (:

I’m not sure if this counts as ‘interesting’ but I’ll give it a go anyway.
Every time I have to go to hospital for operations (I’ve had quite a few) I don’t pack books or anything like that, I pack nail varnish, cause when I’m stuck in a hospital bed I don’t want to read or knit or anything, I paint my nails to make me feel better, most of the women on the ward think it’s weird, but quite a few have wanted theirs doing too 🙂 it’s nice to be able to share the joy in a place like that. I’ve never won a giveaway in my life, hopefully I have a chance with this one. I love your nail art, you inspire me every time I see your posts 🙂
That’s a great idea, thanks for sharing Charlotte xx
Hello, my name is Allison! My email is allisonmurphy1999@hotmail.com and my instagram is allisonmurphyyo. Nail art is one of my passions. I have a split family and my dad and my stepmom recently split up. Both my mother and my father make me feel like an inconvenience but my (ex)stepmom never did. Having her leave is so stressful and doing nail art give me something to focus on. It takes all my stress away. I spend hours upon hours on my nail art, although I’m not that great. I’m only young and don’t have a job so getting nail polish and nail art tools doesn’t happen. I would love to win this giveaway so I can continue to grow as a painter (I don’t know what else to call it lol) and hopefully become as successful as you :*
Aww Hun my mum and dad split up when I was young too. Stay strong and keep painting your nails xxx

I am a mother to 4 AMAZING children who I love more then anything in this world! I teach them that you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it. My youngest will be 3 next month and when I had just had her I signed up to audition for “The Voice” (USA) and I couldn’t go because I had postpartum depression but that isn’t going to stop me! I will audition again once the nodules heal on my vocal chords. I was born to sing!
That’s amazing Hun. I know all about post partum depression. I suffered after having my twins too. I love singing too so we have that in common. All the best for when you audition, I’m sure you will be great. Thanks for sharing xx
Hi! I’ve been doing nail art for the past year or so and I really love doing it! I find it a nice relaxing hobby to do on my days off! I can’t wear nail varnish in work though because I’m a nurse haha! I’ve actually been told I should start doing nails full time as a new career by some friends and fans! I’d loveee to get this set as I don’t have many glitter polishes as the good ones tend to be too expensive for me!
Thank youu!

A little about me, I grew up on a farm where I learned how to operate heavy machinery by the time I was 10. Where I live we have some of the coldest winters where it is often negative degrees Fahrenheit, but if you can make it through the winter the summers are amazing. I have a toy maltese who is a rescue and the most precious little dog ever. I have a job where I can’t have my nails painted so every weekend I have them painted for about 3 days then have to remove it and it’s so sad lol. P. S. I love your designs!
Oh that is sad lol I’m glad I can have my nails painted at my place of work. Glad for entering xx

Yay for such a thoughtful giveaway! I’m Annabel of @followthatway on Instagram and I’m 20 this year with a truckload of passion for glitter gradients and roses. During my free time I love to watch DIY videos and I like to recycle Ferrero Roche boxes! I’m also a really avid reader and now I’m trying to conquer the classics (not an easy feat!). Funnily enough, most of my friends don’t see me as a reader nor someone who loves to read (and even do nails) hahaha but I guess appearances can be deceptive and I think this comment is wayyyyy longer than I’ve expected but I hope you have fun reading this Atima hahaha and once again, thank you for the lovely giveaway! 🙂
Lol good luck with reading the classics. I used to read so much more than I do now. You know I love your nails right lol thanks for always being so great and lovely and thanks for entering xx
Hola, I’m Destiny and I was born on Valentines day (I’ll be 18 next year), and I’m a senior in high school. I was raised in Wisconsin, and well something grabbing about me is that I’m a JUNK FOOD JUNKIE. Like I just can’t get enough of candy, and all other types of junk food. I have a HUGE sweet tooth. If I could eat junk for breakfast, lunch, and dinner I would (but I know it’s not healthy). Lol, another interesting thing about me is that I love to swim. The way I learned how to was back in middle school, and I went to this party with my friends. They all dared me to dive in the deep in, but of course I was to scared too. But, when I didn’t want to do it they pushed me in, & I fought & struggled until I started doing laps back and forth in the pool (lol, some friends). Freshman year I shaved all my hair off! I mean I went completely bald. Why? Because I was so sick of my hair, and just wanted something a little different. It’s all grown back now, but I kind of miss the baldness. Another thing about me if I love nail polish! Its like my getaway or stress reliever. I love trying out new things, using different techniques and styles. Polish is like make-up but too my nails. 🙂

Hello, I am Gaynel!
I was born and raised in Jamaica, but presently live in the States, with my husband. It has been my desire since age 4 to serve others through medicine and so this summer I sat the MCAT, the medical entrance exam for the US. A lot has happened, I’m out of school, waiting on med, and have loads of time on hand (can’t work); since joining IG as @nave_g I have had an outlet for creativity and happiness. Following you on IG, seeing your designs and trying to figure them out and recreate them make me happy. You in spire me to see beauty and not to let my craving to create die. Because of you and other IGers like @chalkboardnails though still a newbie I was able to design my worship pastor’ snails for her wedding. P.S. I think I may now be nail polish junkie lol. My email address is gnell18@live.com. Thank you very much for doing this 🙂

Aww shucks were you using UK time then, whoops, well look forward to seeing more of your material
Appreciation to my father who informed me about this
webpage, this web site is genuinely awesome.
Aww thank you very much. I will be posting more regularly soon.
After you had this giveaway, I went a bought ‘Belugaria’ and ‘Hors d’euvres’ for myself but I have found that they chip so easily my manicures never last more than a day or two. Have you any tips to help prevent the glitter from chipping so easily? I love your nail art, thank you Atima.
-Cena
Hi Cena,
Ahh yes that can be an issue with textured polishes. Are you using a base coat? You could use a top coat but it will change the texture.
Great read thank yoou
