It’s A Contest! Valentine’s Nails



In honor of Valentine’s day and the blizzard that might be keeping half the U.S. inside this weekend, we’re throwing a little contest. 

Show us your best Valentine’s day nails. Hearts? Cool! Glitter? Also cool! Dripping Buffy stakes? REALLY cool! In other words, paint up your nails any way that makes *you* think of Valentine’s day. When you’re ready, you can either upload a picture in the comments of this thread, or email them to me (selena at persephonemagazine dot com) and I’ll make sure our triple-secret-confidential panel of judges sees them.

The deadline is February 14 at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, which is GMT -5.  Winners will be announced in the Open Thread on Friday, February 15.

The prize is a (small, sorry) gift certificate to Sephora, so you can buy even more nail polish.

    Woo-hoo! V-day nails. I’m obviously not the best at manicures, but I still love painting them. :P

    I saw this just after painting my nails for the holiday!

    Once I have a chance to clean them up and take a pic, will have to submit.

    Getting super into nail polish and nail art lately. No regrets.

    I suppose I could paint mine with clear polish, since V’Day makes me feel ambivalent

    Fun idea! I’ll see if I can paint some pretty nails this weekend. :) I’m not really a nail artist, so we’ll see how things turn out! ;)

    Aww yeah. I might upload a picture once I think of something good, although I don’t think I can be in the contest (not in US). But the challenge will be fun all by itself.
    I’m loving all the nail polish posts at the moment!

      If the winner can’t shop at Sephora, I can find another place to get a gift card. I’m flexible! I just want to see all your pretty nails.
