Ugly Holiday Sweater Nail Art Contest!

It's contest time!

On my instagram @DullLikeGlitter I've reached over 12,000 followers, Saving the World One Nail at a Time just got to over 200 followers and 13,000 views!  It's time to celebrate!

This contest is Ugly Holiday Sweater themed!  Example:

Buzznet's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

As you can see it's over the top, lots of crazy subject theme and ugly as hell!  

I am very open to interpretation.  You can be inspired by an ugly holiday sweater design, use a sweater texture in your mani, have lots of 3D crazy effects like pompoms and bows.  Just go crazy!  I tend to judge on creativity and your technique.  Keep in mind this is holiday themed, it does not have to be Christmasy, you can go Hanukkah or Kwanza or pagan celebration!  I am half jewish myself, Christmukkah!!!

Rules:

1. Must be following me on instagram @DullLikeGlitter.  This contest and prizes are rewards to my followers for being awesome after all!  This will be for instagram only but I will do online contests through my blog as well in the future.  If you have a smartphone you can enter by downloading the instagram app!

2. You must be 18 or older or have parental permission.  This is because you will have to give your address to me (practically a stranger) to send out a prize if you win.  I promise I won't come steal your tv's but some parents can have a problem with that.

3. This contest is open internationally!  There is a catch however.  If you are an international entry (outside of the U.S. or Canada) and your package costs more than $10 to ship you agree, by entering, to help me out with the shipping cost.  If I was rich I would pay for it all but unfortunately I don't make much money. My polish addiction has me broke most of the time!

4. To enter must upload your ugly holiday sweater nails to instagram and use the tag #uglysweaternails.  You must also be holding a handwritten piece of paper that says #uglysweaternails to prove they are your nails.  Natural or acrylic nails are fine but you must have done the nail art on your own.

5. Contest will close on 12/14 at 11:59pm EST.  Finalists will go up on instagram and here on 12/15.  There will be 24 hours to vote by liking the finalists on instagram so that first and second place are chosen by you the users!

6. Unlimited amount of entries allowed!

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.  

Prizes are going to be awesome!  First prize will get two brand new Chanel polishes including Malice, the new 2012 holiday color, and Peridot!  Both first and second prize will get holiday China Glaze gift sets, nail art brushes, a mini of Bleu Tonic provided by Polished by KPT and a bunch of other fantastic nail goodies.  I will update with pictures once everything is confirmed!

Get excited and get painting!
