Moonslice Beauty Moon Magic Palette Giveaway!

Nothing to Disclose

Day 9 of my 10 days of Giveaways celebrating my 10 year blogaversary is here, and my giveaways are coming to an end! Most of the giveaways have been on Instagram, but I wanted to do this one on the blog to make sure that more people saw and heard about this women-owned and operated business - Moonslice Beauty! (I also wanted to spread the word about this palette, where 10% of the proceeds goes to help Jen Mathews, of MyBeautyBunny.com pay for the exorbitant costs of treating her Thyroid Cancer- even AFTER insurance, but don't get me started on stupid healthcare costs.)

Today's giveaway is for the Moon Magic palette, which is currently on preorder, but is shipping soon! It's a gorgeous palette that is full of colors that I don't usually buy, but I was totally drawn to it! I ended up buying one for me and one for the giveaway! Check out after the jump for swatches and photos, all courtesy of Jen herself, and for information on how to enter! :)

10 Years of The Daily Nail - 10 Days of Giveaways - Day 1 - ZOYA TWINKLING COLLECTION

Nothing to Disclose

HO-LY CRAP!

It's crazy to think that 10 years (and one day) ago, I started The Daily Nail as a way to justify a splurge of 71 bottles of nail polish in a single month, and help 'cure' my procrastination tendencies. Well, one of those things worked, and it wasn't the procrastination.

Starting today, I have TEN days of giveaways for you to thank you for sticking with me through times of bacon nails, of no nails, of thick and thin, from Vegas to India to Michigan and back. From nail art exclusively to fashion and food and beauty. I'm extremely thankful to all of you that have been here for the whole shebang and for those that have joined me along the way - I'm even thankful for those of you that are new to The Daily Nail - WELCOME!

Today's giveaway is from the brand that reignited my love of nail polish and was a catalyst for starting TDN a those years ago. Thanks to a promotion that they were doing, I acquired several new polishes, and thus began The Daily Nail, my 365-day journey into madness. :D

Have a Zaptastic Day!

Nothing to Disclose

OK friends. I normally wouldn't do this, but this competition is SUPER important to my team and I, and the prize is amazing. (and one of the judging criteria is page views and interaction!)

At my job (Zappos.com), there is currently an internal contest going on to kind of explain the Zappos culture and strategy. Part of this competition is to create a video that represents that information in a fun and unique way. My team chose to do a time lapse video of me drawing images that represent the ideas we're talking about.

Trust me- not as boring as it sounds!! lol  Plus- you get to see some nail art that I created in the spirit of Zappos!

My team and I would love if you would watch the following video, give it a thumbs up, and if you have the time, leave a comment! It would make our day!

Reader Nail Art Week - Day 1

Hi all! Today is the first day of Reader Nail Art week! :)  Today's entries include some super cool nails, some cute nails, and some creepy nails perfect for Halloween!! Great work ladies!

Check out the reader submissions below and their inspiration in their own words! :)

:)

Blue & Taupe Tribal nails - Naomi H. of http://www.bellezzabee.com

My inspiration for this piece was tribal nail art. I was doing this for the 31 days nail art challenge and I didn't want to to anything like the regular tribal prints. I just started off with a taupe colour literally called The Taupe from NYX cosmetics and just freehand it from there. Using acrylic paints the design just happened as I was painting. At first I thought it looked awful but i was not going to start off so I decided to make it work but adding on more stuff and poof out came this gorgeous design which i am truly proud of.




Pandamonium - Hannah M. of http://doodlenails.blogspot.co.uk

Inspired by cotton buds, I thought when dipped in polish they'd probably be fuzzy like ears!
 



M&M - Sarah W. of http://trymyhand.blogspot.fr

Obviously (as you can probably tell by the photo), the inspiration was M&M's, the peanut kind, again, obviously !

Cat Claws - Elisabeth H.

I got inspired by my black cat "frodo", when I picked up his "nails?" from the carpet and I wanted to make a nail art with this :-)

Snow White - Heather E.

Disney Princess Inspired Nails

Dotticure - Kellyne W. of http://www.lightwellnails.com

My inspiration was that I had a bunch of new butter LONDON polishes, and I like the way the colors contrast together.

Zombie - Delainie G. of http://www.deespolish.com

These are nails inspired by your "I'm Going To Let It Slide" nails/tutorial. I used the idea to create what my nails would look like if I were a zombie.  (TDN NOTE: I ♥ the dirt, it really adds to the zombie effect!>

Toy Story - Lina P. of http://www.delicuoslife.blogspot.com

Toy Story nail art, my inspiration, the classic Toy Story cloud background and a funny character, the little green alien toy.

Floral Dress - Fiona M.

I pretty much just based my nails on my senior sail dress since it was the reason why I was painting them haha! The two accent nails are painted to match the flower design/colours on my dress (:
 

Keep those submissions coming! Anything goes, there is no theme, no time limit on how old they can be! International submissions are eligible too! :D

The Daily Nail Turns 3!!

Wow. Can you believe it? It's been THREE years since I started this little blog to use up the exorbitant amount of nail polish that I bought back in the beginning. The blog has grown a bit since then, and I am so utterly thankful for each one of you–those of you who've stuck around since the beginning as well as those of you that are new readers! You've all contributed to this blog's success, and I'm completely blessed to have such amazing people be a part of my life! You've pushed me, stuck up for me, entertained me, and inspired me over the last few years, and not many people can say that are are lucky as I am to experience that kind of community.

In a perfect world, I'd shower you all with gifts of jewels, cheeseburgers, and champagne fountains, but alas, I'm not rich, so that idea is out. Until I become fabulously, filthy rich (a girl can dream, right?), you guys will have to settle for what I can actually offer. :D (and considering I'm currently broke as a joke, it's not much!)

Today starts a week of reader submissions! Each day, I'll gather all the nail art photos sent to me and post them in one giant nail art post. At the end of the day, I'll use a random number generator to choose a winner, who will receive a set of press-on nails painted by me in the style of their choice.

Submission guidelines:

• Only one photo per day will be posted per person.
• Photos should be no larger than 1000 pixels wide, and must be clear (we want to SEE your masterpiece!).
• Include a description of what your inspiration was for the design as well as how you'd like to be credited.
• Include your name and the email address you'd like to be contacted at if you should win.
• Nail art MUST be your own, if discovered that you didn't paint the design, you will be disqualified and publicly shamed. OK, maybe not the last part, though I'd like to. :)
• Deadline to submit is October 21, 2012.

So get to it ladies (and gents!!). Get those photos sent to me at thedailynailcontest@gmail.com!!

XOXO,
Gossip Gi
