Friday Food and Nails (FFAN) Entry Guidelines *discontinued*

--edit--  Sorry, we are no longer accepting entries!

FFAN is a weekly post featured on Fridays.  During the week, readers can send in pictures of their nails posed with their favorite foods, drinks, or snacks.  If you are a blogger, this is a great opportunity for sharing your blog.   Readers without blogs are also welcome to participate. :)  Here are just a few guidelines.

1. Please send in a clear picture featuring your nails and a food/drink item you would like to share.  It doesn't have to be nail art, it can just be a color you rocked this week.
2. Write a short description to go with the picture about both the food and nails.  For example: what the food is, where it's from, and what color(s) you're wearing on your nails.  If it's nail art, you don't have to list all the colors.
3. If you are a blogger also send in your blog link.  If the nails are specific to a post you did during the week, leave the link to the post instead.  If you do not include your blog link, the submission will not be linked to your blog.  The picture must be exclusive to FFAN, so don't post your food pic on your blog until it has been published in this post.  Also, don't forget to watermark them (your blog name or blog url on the picture).
4. Title your entries "FFAN-_(insert name or blog name)_"  Send all entries to liquidjelly76 (at) gmail.com by Thursday 9pm US central time.  Entries after 9 will be featured the next week.  Please only send in one per week, but you can participate every week. :)

 
All entries will be published unless the picture is:

• inappropriate to the post
• too dark or blurry to distinguish what color you are wearing or what the food is.  Both must be clearly visible.  
• no toe pics please

Have lots of fun doing this!  And don't be shy.  The more entries the better.  Can't wait to see what you guys send in. :)

For examples, check out past FFAN submissions *here*.

Nicotine from a silver screen

Looking at these nails makes me think of the song Silver Screen by Felix Da Housecat.

China Glaze OMG: GR8 & Friday Blog Share Idea

Here's the first OMG polish I will be showing you.  I have another one swatched, but not the others.  I'll try to swatch them as soon as the sun decides to come out again.

Pink Wednesday: China Glaze 108 Degrees

There's no wonder why this shade is called 108 Degrees.  It's hot hot!

Picture Polish Blog Fest: Goldfinger

Hey all!

I've been waiting for this day since June, so I'm super excited to share my shade with you for piCture pOlish's Blog Fest.  Today over 60 bloggers from around the world are featuring a Picture Polish shade on their blogs.  The shade I was sent to review is Goldfinger.

Reswatch: Revlon Not So Blueberry

I felt like wearing this a few days ago, so I re-swatched it then.  For my full review you can read this earlier post:  Revlon Not So Blueberry Review.

Pink Wednesday: Captivated &Tiger's Blood

I guess they're not exactly pink, but coral's close enough... right?  Cult Nails Captivated and Icing Tiger's Blood.  Can you tell them apart?

Guest nails: Zoya Charla

My little sis Angela has been wanting me to post her nails for some time now.  A few months back her cuticles were really ragged, so I told her to leave them alone so they can heal.  Now they're much better!  Just a little bit of care goes a long way. :)

Awards, awards, and more awards

Lately I haven't been getting emails notifications for my Disqus comments, so I was all confused until it just occurred to me that they might be getting sent to spam!  I fished those out of there and found a lovely award email as well. :)  I've been putting off doing the awards post for a while now, so there's going to be a couple.  Just a warning.

Deborah Lippmann: Get This Party Started Swatches

My first Deborah Lippmanns, and I'm so in love with this set!  Muchas gracias to the bf for getting these for me! <3

Black: Forget You  // Pink: Candy Shop

Harry Potter Nails Take 2

Much more pleased with these.  Not really a fan of having pictures on my nails.  What can I say?  I'm just more of a simple mani type of girl. ^^

Reader Request: Harry Potter Nails

Hey all,

If you've read the books or have been following the movies, I'm sure you will know that Harry Potter is premiering this week around the world.  In the US it's on the 15th.  I haven't really been keeping up with the movies, so I reread the ending of the seventh book (and got teary at Snape's tale again) to refresh my memory.

This one is for The Fashionista who requested Harry Potter nails with the Deathly Hallows symbol or the Slytherin Snake.  Naturally, I did both.  I only have white nail art polish that comes with a thin brush, so I did my best.  I hope you like them, or take away something from them at least. ^^;; I'm not satisfied with these, but I promised to have them up by the 13th so here they are.

This is an example of too many ideas, too little time.  Instead of doing a full mani, I pretty much did an idea per nail, or you can think of it as a showcase of 3 difference accent nails.  So pick and choose?  Or mix and match?  The pinky was just...uninspired. 

Orly Space Cadet: A Gorgeous Multichrome

Unfortunately there's no Monday theme post from me today.  I didn't do it yesterday so I was planning on doing it this the morning and posting it then, but there was a bit of a storm during the early hours.  As a result, I was left without electricity all day until it finally came back on after 5pm.  So I've decided to just post a swatch I did yesterday instead.

Essie Skittles

Sort of.  I swatched these yesterday after swatching $OPI Caught With My Khakis Down.  That day was just not a great swatching day.  Originally I started out with Essie Turquoise and Caicos on all my nails, but as you can see there is now only one on the middle nail.

$OPI: Caught With My Khakis Down

Today I have Sephora by OPI's Caught With My Khakis Down. 

Zoya Phoebe (& Tips for Applying Matte Polish)

Hey all!

Here's a swatch of Zoya Phoebe I did a few days ago.  4 coats.

Nail Goodies!

Whew, I'm pooped today as well.  I was out all day with the bf for a belated bday celebration.  As promised, here are all the nail goodies I received for my bday from family & the bf. ^^  There's also a few things I picked up to treat myself as well. :)

2NE1 MV Inspired Birthday Mani

Hey all!

Today (well technically yesterday now 7/6) was my bday, so I thought I'd drop in to show you my bday mani. :)

OPI: Simply Smash-ing

Trixie of Nailfiled wanted to see Simply Smash-ing from my latest nail packages.  So here it is!

China Glaze: Señorita Bonita

Ah~ I swatched this one wayyyyy back when I got it.  For some reason that day I had a hard time swatching it.  I kept getting bubbles or nicking it somewhere, so I gave up.  I reswatched it a few days ago and didn't have any problems with bubbles, so it was definitely not the formula.  Here it is! 3 coats.

Happy Fourth of July!

Or just happy Monday. :)

Here are my 4th of July nails.  Sorry, I actually don't do clean up with my nails, but this one definitely needed it!  I was in a hurry to catch the sun before it set, so it also came out a little...messy. >_<  Kind of embarrassed to post these, but I don't have time to redo them.  Oh and if you haven't noticed, I cut my nails!  A lot.  They're actually still long, but they look like little nubs!  I realized I was not blessed with long nail beds.  Hehe.  Anyway, hope you're all enjoying the (holi)days! :)
