Essie Fall 2008 Color Collection Giveaway!!!

Earlier this week, I promised that I would be reviewing some of the hottest new makeup collections for Fall 2008. Yes...I realize I'm a wee bit behind. But I've been busy. And the Olympics have been distracting me. Then Amber and I got on the phone and talked forev. And now my throat's a tore up mess.

But I'm making it up to you...with a fantabulously unexpected giveaway!!! Nothing like a beauty bribe to keep you coming back. You know you love me.

This week, I've joined forces with Essie to spoil one reader pretty with these cool jewel-toned nail polishes in the season's hottest color palette. The collection compliments fall's bold blast of color with six stunning shades ranging from rich, elegant reds to deep, luscious purples.

Essie's fall 2008 nail color collection includes:

Big Spender: Divinely lush red-violet
Forever Young: Fiery tango red
Lacy Not Racy: Velvety vintage burgundy
No Boundaries: Juicy passionate plum
Swept Off My Feet: Dusky rose seduction
Tomboy No More: Red currant truffle

Each bottle retails for $8. Or purchase the full collection for $45. Or you could enter this week's giveaway - and if you win, the entire collection would be FREE!

To enter, send an email to spoiledprettycontests@gmail.com. Be sure to include your full name. The subject line should read "Essie Fall 2008 Giveaway." The contest ends at midnight (EST) on Wednesday, August 20th. One winner will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Thursday, August 21st, I'll announce the winner's name. Please, only one entry per person; duplicate entries will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.

Good luck!

Oooh...and watch my very first video!!! But be sure to take your Dramamine before viewing...
