Hello all of my lovely readers! A couple of weeks ago, I reached 10,000 Instagram followers and I wanted to celebrate in a big, BIG way! So I’m holding a giveaway! The prizes are pretty epic if I do say so myself!
Before I get to the giveaway, I wanted to post the answers for the riddles that were posted the other day! If you didn’t get your guesses in already, I’m sorry to say that you are out of luck. But keep your eyes peeled for something similar sometime in the future. I will post it on Facebook and Instagram, like I always do. :) For those of you who made guesses, here are the answers!
ANSWER: KBShimmer. Splattered, Pastel and Mess refer to 3 polishes from the brand, “Oh Splat!”, “Pastel Me More” & “A Dot Mess.” High Land refers to the location of the business, Terre Haute, IN. Terre Haute is French for “High Land.”
ANSWER: CrowsToes. This is one of the easier ones. Birds of a feather, refers to the fact that crows mate for life. 5 per limb refers to 5 toes on each foot (on humans) & 10 per trunk refers to 10 toes per body. (Trunk is a synonym for body.)
ANSWER: Laquerlicious. The word “bully” refers to Michelle’s (the creator of Laquerlicious) love and dedication to Pit Bulls. Laquer is spelled how it is in “Laquer”licious.
ANSWER: Wicked Polish. “A Terrible Affliction” refers to the first collection called “Pestilence.” “A Devilish Notion” refers to the second collection “Wicked Whimsy” and “An Outrageous Expedition” refers to the third collection, “What Happens In Vegas.”
ANSWER: Messy Jessi Lacquer. “Get down & dirty” is referring the word “Messy” in the name. “Emerge all shiny & new” refers to the fact that the brand is brand new to the indie world!
ANSWER: Dollish Polish. Each name is the name of a popular doll from the 20th Century!
ANSWER: White Owl Lacquer. White Owls are often thought of as scary but many believe that the appearance of a White Owl is good luck!
ANSWER: Happy Hands Nail Polish. Your hands can communicate by using sign language but they don’t verbally say words (for obvious reasons.) :)
ANSWER: GlitterDaze. A synonym for “Daze” is “Mesmerize.” And as we all know, glitter is sparkly.
ANSWER: Lumina Lacquer. Each word is an example of Lumina (which is plural for Lumen.) Lumen is the central cavity of a tubular or other hollow structure in an organism or cell. Lumina is also a “unit of luminous flux equal to the light emitted in a unit solid angle by a uniform point source of one candle intensity.” Which I’m sure is what is meant by the Brand’s name but a riddle for that was beyond me! LOL!
ANSWER: HARE polish. Another one that is probably pretty easy. This was a cute story I remember from when I was a kid. :)
ANSWER: Shimmer Polish. Each polish made by Shimmer is named after and inspired by a Friend or Family member of the creator.
