Giveaway with Joby Nail Art!

I have a little confession. I'm terrible at nail art. Like, anytime I attempt to do anything it comes out looking like a 4 year old's art project, but not in a good way. So I was pretty excited when I was contacted by Joby Nail Art to see if I was interested in partnering up for a little giveaway. 

I was sent two different nail art sticker sets and opted to use the Gold set, meaning that the Hearts and Bows set is up for grabs in the giveaway!


Some facts from Joby:

They offer free shipping on all domestic orders.  They ship international by USPS Priority Mail and qualifying orders receive free shipping. Completely awesome news!

Check their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter to keep up to date on new products, promotions and nail designs.


Now, onto the manicure! Like I said, I used the Gold Collection - Accent Ribbons.


I was a little nervous, but I followed the easy instructions on the back and everything went really well! (I did cut the ribbons so that I could get one bow per nail).


First I used two coats of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons. I let that dry completely and didn't apply top coat. Then I cut the bows out of the packaging, peeled off the back, and applied them to the tips of my nails. Easy! I finished everything off with a coat of topcoat. I don't remember the brand. Nothing special.


I was really happy with the results, although I think I'll need a little bit more practice since the bows aren't perfectly even with one another. However, I don't think the slight crookedness is something that anyone will notice unless they're right up on my nails.


I liked using Joby Nail Art a lot, and the lure of free shipping means that at around $3 a set, you get a lot of bang for your buck. The product is easy to use (like I said, I've never been good at nail art). This was my first time using any kind of nail sticker so I'm quite happy with everything and am excited to try  the other ribbons with different lacquers. 

And there's an absolutely adorable set of little owl nail stickers that I think I'm going to need to grab soon :)

Now, here's the giveaway! You'll win the item pictured below. This giveaway is open for those with a US address only.
