365 DAYS OF COLOR: Frolicking

365 Days of Color Frolicking

Hi guys! I picked up this polish by 365 Days of Color during her last 25% off sale. I was ordering her cuticle balm samplers, as I do every time she has a sale because they're amazing, and decided to finally throw this one in the cart too! I only have 1 other polish by 365 Days of Color, from the same collection too - Vagabond, and I'm in love with both of them :] After the jump I have swatches and review of Frolicking!

Bottom (L->R): Melon Sangria, Wildflowers and Festival

Today I have a new-to-me brand called Pretty Jelly! If this name sounds familiar, it's because these polishes are made by Liz of Liquid Jelly, one of my favorite blogs.

6/10 Manic-ure Giveaways Monday

While gathering giveaways, I figured I'd give you a few of my tips on entering giveaways to give you better chances at winning!

• Skimming over the rules is better than not reading them at all! I'm not telling you not to read them but... jussayin'
• If you're entering on a Rafflecopter widget giveaway, make sure you're reading the prompts and following them before hitting "ENTER".
• Don't forget about daily points, such as sharing on FB/Twitter/IG.
• I have noticed giveaways often begin/end more often in the beginning and ends of the months.
• Keep a list in your phone, or somewhere easily accessible, of giveaways you entered so you remember to check back if you happen to miss an email or it goes to the dreaded spam folder.
• I always add giveaways that end before the week is up and won't make it to next week's list at the end of the most current giveaway post. So check back often :]

YAY! It's Friday ~ We made it guys! Hahah :] Today is a blog post I haven't been looking forward to writing, but it must be done, I must keep my promise. I feel like I have encountered a lot of great products and a few products that just haven't been my thing, I guess these polishes are just that. (Why am I saying this? Because I've dreaded having to be honest the last couple days hahaha)

I have written to the creator of these polishes to make sure there were no surprises in this blog post for her and she mentioned she was tweaking some of the items as she was writing to me. I'm known for being honest and keeping it real and I'd like to keep it that way! So, without further adieu....
