Conference season is upon us and when I was at RT recently, I spent a great deal of time talking about manicures with people. I have never had a manicure except when one of my friends insisted that everyone in her wedding party have one. I hated it. I bit my nails right into my twenties, so I never got the hang of the whole thing. And even now I keep them short and very rounded because if there’s a corner anywhere, I’ll pick at it. Also, if I get nervous, my nails break right at the fingertip. (As a side note, my mother’s manicurist says this is because you have a lot of nerves in your fingertips, and when you’re stressed, they throb. True? Not true? I have no idea.)
Anyway, I thought it might be fun—since the in my forthcoming book, Toying With His Affections, the heroine is a bit more of a girly-girl than I am—to do some fun girly giveaways in celebration of the new book. And, naturally, given the multiple manicure conversations at RT, I figured I would start with nails.
This giveaway is for a set of Formula X “Press Pods.” Each of these tiny bottles works sort of like those pens that you shake and then squeeze. You break the cap off, then squeeze a drop of polish out onto the brush (which is revealed when the cap breaks off), then do up a manicure. Each color is good for only one manicure since they cannot be closed again after they’ve been opened, but it comes with 24 different “pods.”
As usual with Rafflecopter raffles, don’t forget to CLICK THE BUTTON showing that you’re a member of the mailing list or that you’ve left a comment, or the entry won’t count!
This entry is U.S. only due to the contents of the package, but keep an eye out for more that will be overseas-friendly!
Need to have a pedicure to remove chipped polish, but sunburned with sandal stripes. Splurge on a mani when I have a pedi for summer sandals.
You know I have a problem/addiction with nail polish. I bit my nails until I turned 30, mom had tried to get me to stop my entire life. As soon as I bought a nail polish over 10 dollars, I quit biting. 150+ bottles of polish later…lol (ps you CAN mail nail polish internationally 😉 )
Oooh, good to know…I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t want to take the chance. Next one will be international, then 😀
I love the idea of nail polish, but I’m not an expert at doing my own. (Had a manicure once when having my hair cut, but this was years ago. Nails were still a bit wet when I had to reach into purse to pay. They hadn’t really worked it out properly.) Those pods sound like fun. 😉
I suspect that putting polish on for my niece’s one-year birthday is not quite the thing. It’ll be outside, in a community garden (or the nearby park). At least I think my niece has stopped trying to put my fingers in her mouth. 😉
I don’t bite my nails, but I am more comfortable with them being relatively short.
LOL! Maybe not for the 1 year old’s bday, but if you have older nieces, I bet they’d like to have polish put on them. I know that nail polish is actually what stopped my niece from biting her nails when she was ten–her mom said if she had real nails, she could wear polish
Would love to try these. And I can’t wait to read the book.
The book sounds great. I love pedicures but don’t do it often.
MY HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.
I’ll give it a try. Sign me up, please.
I can’t sign you up, Judy! You have to do it yourself in the form in the post! 🙂
I would love to do my for an upcoming party !!!
Thank you! I can’t wait to try them (and more importantly, read the new book.)
