>Hello my dear followers, readers, old ones, new ones =) Thanks for reading my blog & inspiring me to be creative =) I love you all with my whole heart!
And I realized something. All that “you must be a follower to join the giveaway” doesn’t really suit me. I know there are people who can’t reach friend connect, since many Google applications are censored in my country right now. Plus, there are followers who follow via RSS, Reader, etc.
All I want you to do is:
Comment on this entry with your e-mail address & specify which items you’re interested in. You can apply for multiple prizes. I’m going to draw 5 names from the people who are interested in those specific prizes.
Deadline is May 1st, 2011, 11:59 PM, GMT.
I want to thank you all by giving the following items away:

Either Zoya Sunshine or Zoya Summertime Collection. This prize is for everyone.

Any 6 polish from China Glaze Anchors Away Collection. This prize is sponsored by China Glaze, and US only.

Essie Spring 2011 French Affair Collection Mini Set (Includes Topless & Barefoot, Nice is Nice, French Affair & Coat Azure) + Essie Matte About You. This prize is sponsored by Essie Turkey, and it’s for everyone.

Konad B Set, includes 4 plates of winner’s choice, 3 x 10 ml polishes of winner’s choice, a stamper & a scraper. Great set for beginners or anyone who wants to expand their collection. This prize is sponsored by Ozgurce Pazarlama, and it’s for everyone.
A fifth person will get a surprise pack from me, including candy, some local brand polishes if I can smuggle them out of the country, and finally, a set of hand decorated false nails =)
Good luck, everyone =)
Ve fark ettim ki “katılmak için takipçim olun” demek pek bana göre değil. Eskiden çekilişleri herkes gibi ben de bu şekilde yapıyordum, ama artık bu şekilde yapmayacağım. Herkes Google Friend Connect kullanamıyor, özellikle sansürün saçma bir boyuta ulaştığı bu günlerde. RSS takipçileri, Reader takipçileriö okuyup çıkanlar, kısacası bir sürü takip şekli var.
Sizden tek istediğim:
Bu yazıya e-mailinizi ve hangi hediyelerle ilgilendiğinizi yorum olarak bırakın. Türkiye’de yaşıyorsanız ve bir şekilde bu sayfayı görebildiyseniz ama yorum bırakamıyorsanız, lütfen http://emeraldsparkled.wordpress.com/ sayfasındaki çekiliş yazısına yorum bırakın. Ve sizden ricam bu yedek blogun linkini Twitter, blog gibi ortamlarda yayın ki, başkalarının da katılım şansı olsun.
Herkes istediğı tüm hediyeler için başvurabilir. Çekilişin sonunda 5 isim çekeceğim ve bu kişiler kendi ilgilendikleri hediyeler arasından birini kazanacak.
Son katılım 1 Mayıs 2011, 23:59′dur..

Hello guys =) I started my new job last Monday, and I’m still trying to adapt myself to office hours. I have always been a night owl, never going to sleep before 4 am, but now I have to wake up at 7 am every morning. I never really had time to take pictures of my nails, or do interesting designs, but I will slowly find time as I progress. =) How have you been? The Blogger censor is getting ridiculous, now custom domains like mine are completely unreachable. I’m using a proxy to reach my blog, but other Turkish readers might not now how to do that, since not everyone has to be tech savvy. Therefore I have to put the upcoming giveaway on hold, since everyone deserves the chance. I’m gonna try to figure out how to do it. I’m really sorry, I feel like I promised something and couldn’t keep that promise, but trust me, it’s not my fault.
Today I have four polishes to show from the Essie Spring 2011 French Affair Collection. Honestly, when I first saw the collection, none of the colors really drew my interest. I thought they were a bit boring, recycled, plain, etc. But as time passed, I started to grow fond of the colors, the way they looked together, the theme, etc. And when I saw Nice Is Nice two weeks ago, oh my God, I knew I was sold at that moment. 









Sorry guys, I didn’t have time to post this manicure yesterday. Like most of you, I couldn’t decide on a single green, so I used four. Ooops! =)

I never thought this day would come. But here I am, with my complete set of OMG Collection =) How many times I kicked myself for not getting it when it was available! But isn’t it always like that? You keep saying: “I don’t know… Do I really need it?” while it’s in front of your eyes the whole time, and once it goes missing, you suddenly have to have it! All! That was my case, at least. It was so hard to track down, but finally it’s mine! I caved in and splurged to an eBay seller. A Turkish nail polish seller & a lovely friend stepped in and helped me get my hands on the whole collection. Without her, I would not be able to handle all the negotiations with the seller & the nervous wait for the post to arrive safely. The whole collection was a bit expensive, but it’s soo worth it! =))) I’m gonna be the happiest holo-loving-girl once the 4 Nfu-Oh holos arrive – my final order before the no-buy! =)



Hello everyone. As you all know, something devastating happened in my lack of presence, an earthquake of 8.9 shook Japan, followed by the equally destructive Tsunami. And now the Fukushima reactor is in danger of meltdown, threatening millions of people & the environment. There was an hydrogen explosion just an hour ago. Turkish people know how destructive earthquakes can be, as we lost almost 20000 people in 1999, and it was about 1/250 with 7.4 compared to the earthquake in Japan. My condolences to everyone who lost someone in Japan, and my thoughts and prayers are with all the dead, injured & missing people.
Today is Mardi Gras! I actually sat down for an hour and worked on this manicure. It’s actually a bit more time consuming than it looks, especially placing all the little, stubborn beads! The thumb alone took me about half an hour, but I’m pleased with the result. 

I’ve been having trouble reaching my control panel in the last two days. I’ve been trying different proxies, none of them were versatile. I’m going to keep changing till this ridiculous censorship comes to an end.


I picked this one up while I was in Berlin, thinking that it could be a dupe for RBL Orbis Non Sufficit. I was wrong, because this one is much more blue toned, like a darker and muted version of Misa Dirty Sexy Money. The brand is called Rival De Loop, and this one is #52. The polishes were about 2 EUR, if I remember correctly. Pretty decent for a 0.5 oz bottle!
