Valentine's Giveaway #1: Nailene Skinny French Tip Pen and Nail Art!


[UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER. THANK YOU!]

I told you ladies I would be featuring some very fun Valentine's Day-themed giveaways soon and I wasn't lying! I'm doing something a little different for this Valentine's Day giveaway series--I'm running each giveaway for FIVE DAY ONLY. So if you want to enter, don't hesitate! Do it now because it will be over before you know it!

So let's start things off with a bang and present to you this adorable giveaway from our friends at Nailene!

FIVE lucky winners will each receive the following sweet prizes:


Nailene Skinny French Tip Pen with Top Coat

If you saw my review of this new skinny-tip French nail pen (click here), you know that I love it not only because it enables you to get a cleaner, more precise French nail tip, but it's also FABULOUS for painting polka dots your nails (click here to see my polka-dot mani, thanks to Nailene's Skinny French Tip Pen). This pen is not yet available in stores, so you can literally be the first one on your block to have it!


Nailene Bedazzled Earth Angel Nail Art

What would a Valentine's Day giveaway be without some adorable heart nail art? Not only do you get various heart designs, but you also get butterflies, stars, flowers and more in the Earth Angel collection. Too cute for words, really.



Nailene Bedazzled Fashionista Nail Art

The Fashionista collection is so stylish! In this set you get over 300 stickers including moons, stars, and more flowers than you can shake a stick at. Also, you also get "monogrammed" initials! How stylin' is that?

Once again, five (5) lucky winners will each receive the three (3) products featured above. The approximate retail value for each prize package is $15.

Please read all of the following rules before entering:

1) There's only ONE way to enter: you must leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite product by Nailene. One entry per person. Tweeting or blogging will not earn additional entries. Sorry.

2) You MUST leave me your email address in your comment. I repeat: leave your email address in your comment or you will be disqualified.


3) This contest is open to residents of the US, ages 18 and over. Void where prohibited.

4) You are not required to become a follower of Nouveau Cheap to enter, although it would be fantastic if you thought my blog was worthy of following. :)

5) This giveaway begins today, January 26th, and will end Sunday, January 31st, 2010 at 11:59PM Pacific. I will select five winners via random.org's random number generator and notify the winners on Monday, February 1st. The winners will then have 24 hours to respond. If a winner does not reply within 24 hours, that winner will forfeit the prizes and an alternate winner will be selected via random.org.

Your giveaways are always the best!
I personally L-O-V-E nail stickers because they can make it look like you spent hours on your nails or got some fancy shamancy manicure when really all you did was stick 'em and go! (It's happened to me a lot; people always think I'm either a really great nail artist, or I got a manicure. Don't they know about the magic these little babies hold?) Haha!

Of course it would be the nail guide stickers for French Manicures!

I doubt I would ever be able to do any sort of french without them.

I am always amazed when people say that they can do it freehand.

NinaraPoll said...

I've still never tried any Nailene products, but I love the idea of a French Tip pen that also lets one make dots! I'm positive I've seen some Sally Hansen nail art pens that have the same type of tip, I wonder if this is similar?
