MAC Giveaway!

Ok, I know this isn't nail polish related, but I found a giveaway for a free MAC lipstick and a Lipglass. Now, if you know your makeup, you know this is a huge deal considering the retail price. I am all up for free stuff, especially if the value is sky high, so of course, I have to help out the website and blog about it.

This giveaway is only open in August, and is made possible by a Rafflecopter. You can pick any shade of both, so if a bright red isn't your color, you can make sure that you get one that is. -Mandy

Secrets To A Stuck Cap

Have you ever gone through your stash, found a color that you are CRAVING, and then the lid turns out to be stuck? Asked your husband/boyfriend/dad repeatedly to open nail polish for you, and even they couldn't open it? Well, then you just have to go and mourn the loss of a beautiful (and most likely expensive) bottle of nail polish, right? Nope! Just put a hair dryer to it!

What you need-
Stuck nail polish
Cotton balls
Nail polish remover
Hair dryer

How-
Take your bottle, and put it on the counter.
Pick up the hair dryer, and plug it in.
Put one finger from your LEFT hand (the opposite of what you are drying with) on the lid of your polish.
Turn the blow dryer on high (don't burn your hand!), and blow it on the bottle, right between the lid and the glass.
Carefully turn the bottle around in circles, still holding the dryer on the bottle.
It should heat up considerably, so be VERY CAREFUL! (you have no idea how many burns I have from doing this!)
You should hear a noise like a suction cup being pulled off of a shower wall. This means you are done.
Turn the dryer to COOL (if you have a cool on yours) and keep blowing to cool the glass off.
Unscrew the lid of the polish, and you are almost done!
Take a cotton ball and wet it with nail polish remover.
Wipe the brush on the sides of the neck of the bottle.
Set the brush upside down on the counter.
Pick up your wet cotton ball, and scrub off the dried polish on the bottle.
Make sure it is all clean, and you are good to go!

Hey guys! It's Feather! So a few of you have asked if I have a blog (besides the other one on my Weebly), and now I do! This is just so that I can take all of the nail stuff off of my website, and confine it to here, so if you don't want to hear about it, you don't have to. I hope you all enjoy, and I think I am one step closer to those tutorials that I am preparing for! I just got my camera to start charging (it took me FOREVER to find the cord), and I am saving up for a video camera!

Ciao! -Mandy
