Pop Tart Giveaway!


Sounds mighty delicious, doesn't it?  Unfortunately, I am not giving you one of the guilty pleasure toaster pastries.  I am giving you a chance to own my first edition of Lacquer Convention's Pop Tart custom blended nail polish shade.  Over the weekend, I posted swatches of it and said that this particular glitter blend is going away.  While I tinker with other glitters and experiment, I still want to let some of my followers get a peek, so this is a big thank you to all of you for supporting my blog!

Here's how this little giveaway is going to work:

I'm giving away two (2) bottles of Pop Tart to two lucky followers.  Here's the swatch picture I posted again, just in case you missed it!



In order to enter, you need to follow me through at least one (1) of these methods:

-Google Friend Connect (GFC, Click Follow This Site in my sidebar)
-Tumblr (http://thebroadstroke.tumblr.com/)
-Facebook Machine (http://www.facebook.com/TheBroadStroke)

For the first entry: Share this giveaway (FB machine, Twitter machine, your blog in a post, sidebar or giveaway tab, reblog) and post a link at the end of your comment for your second entry.

For the second entry:

Comment here and answer this question: What is your idea of your favorite nail polish?  Do you own a bottle that has all the qualities that are important to you or are you still searching for that perfect bottle?

For a bonus third entry, I want you to submit a picture of you holding a Pop Tart.  Now, I know not everyone likes Pop Tarts or other toaster pastries, and I know not everyone is going to race out to the store to buy a pop tart just to take a picture of it!  (Though you could also eat it afterward.)  That's why I'm going to let you get creative.  The Pop Tart doesn't have to be real.  It can be a printed picture or a drawing or a sculpture or made of macaroni!  It can be a cat dressed as a Pop Tart!  It can be pop tart nail art!  It just has to resemble a pop tart.  And you don't have to show me more than your hand holding this picture if you're a little camera shy.  However, this is a nail polish blog and I want to see that you are wearing nail polish!

So again the photo requirements: A pop tart and some nail polish!

Good luck and have fun!

Rules and Guidelines:
-This contest is open internationally, but I am not responsible for customs fees.  I will ship the winning bottle with the understanding that the recipient will assume responsibilities for such fees.
-This contest closes on Monday, March 26, 2012 at 11:59 PM PST.
-Prizes for this contest are furnished by me and only me in affiliation only with my blog, The Broad Stroke and my polish line, Lacquer Convention.
-Photos that contain offensive or inappropriate material will be disqualified and all your entries will be retracted.  This includes nudity, racism, profanity, violence, etc.  I am the judge of what constitutes offensive and I reserve the right to disqualify you.
-One entry per person, so if you follow me on several sites, I'm sorry, but I'll only count one of your comments.
-Entries will be gathered from all sites that I have approved as ways to follow me (Blogger GFC, Tumblr, and  Facebook).
-I'm not turning on anonymous comments anywhere.  You pretty much have to have an account on all these websites to follow me, so there should be no need for them anyway.
-When the winner is chosen for the first bottle, their name and entries will be removed in the drawing for the second bottle.  One bottle per person!
-Emails will only be used to contact the winners.
-Rules are subject to change if the need arises to prevent cheating and exploitation.

  7. My favorite nail polishes are duochrome from blue to purple (my two favorite colors!). My favorite mani had Wet n Wild's Blue Moon as a base with ma.nish.ma Blaster (duochrome glitter) on top and it was just PERFECT! http://i.imgur.com/yj86c.jpg

    my favorite idea of nail polish is: a solid one or two coats, bright, sparkly, decent drying time (1-2 minutes) at a good price. Right now the only polish that fits that description is my Spoiled Checkin into Rehab. its not bright but it gets your attention!

    Ideal Polish : Anything Blue, Purple, Silver... Must Have Some Kind Of Sparkle Or Shimmer To It Though, Not A Big Fan Of Cremes, Unless Im Layering.. Glitter And Holographic Polishes Are My Favorites Though, I Dont Care About Colors If Theyre Glittery Or Holographic... I Dont Know That Ive Found My Exact Favorite Polish Yet Though... But I Will Say That This Polish Youve Made Is AMAZING... The Name Is Awesome And I Love The Coloring, Definitely Reminds Me Of The Frosting On Top Of A Pop Tart... I Would Totally Buy This Color If I Could!!

    I don't have an all time favorite nail polish. I like so many of them and I go through phases, for instance, for the past couple years I preferred mostly cremes but now I am finding myself attracted to anything shimmering...and the more shimmery the better! Glass fleck polishes are a thing of beauty! I've also really been into layering lately. So maybe my current favorite is Butter London Disco Biscuit.

    My ideal nail polish is the one that does not chip easily without base and top coat. The one that dries out really fast and has all in it - perfect color I want at the moment and perfect texture :) I don't think I found the perfect one, but something really near that is China Glaze Ruby Pumps :)

    My ideal nail polish is it appears the true with just one coat and it should not stain my nails. I'm still searching for a good nail polish because my nail polish doesn't give me the opaqueness with just one coat because on my nail polishes it takes 2-3 coat to the color to appear.

    2nd entry: My idea of a perfect polish is one that dries fast! The ones that do dry fast aren't really my favorites. I haven't found one yet anyway. I did my nails this weekend and it took FOREVER to dry. Literally. I sat on the pc for about an hr doing nothing waiting for them to dry just to have them mess up later on because they hadn't dry.

    3rd entry: Pop tart photo.
    My failed attempt at creating a bitten pop tart.

    Second entry: Yes, I do own probably three perfect for me polishes. One is Erre Due (a greek brand)-100 (dark fuschia), which is amazing, great color, perfect application (and brush), fast drying, dries really shiny and lasts. These are my nail-polish demands. :)
    Same with two more polishes by China Glaze: For Audrey (although it's a bit too blue for my taste) and Trophy Wife.
