Sorry I didn't get to post this last night guys, I was just too tired!
I used www.randomizer.org to randomly choose the numbers assigned to the comments in the order they were posted. The reason the results say 1-30 even though there were 32 comments on the post was because the last post was made after the deadline, and there was one comment that was from the same user, as a reply to her own earlier comment - blogger counts it as a separate comment, I don't since it was the same person.
This means the lucky winners of this Givaway are
1. LC
2. Lilhop
Remember, you have 3 days to contact me, so say by Saturday night, with your name and mailing address. Again, if you have a problem with the other person who donated a bottle to this Giveaway sending you the polish directly, let me know. I'll do my best to accommodate that. Unless both winners have a problem with it, it should be a non-issue.
OK, so since the last givaway was SOOOOOOOOOO much fun, we are going to do another one!
I had a blast being able to give away something people wanted, and it was a lot of fun reading all the comments and checking my blog daily for new ones! LOL.
This giveaway was only made possible by the immense kindness of a dear friend. Really, I am only the owner of the blog and person shipping it here.
My dear friend Kerri sent me some of the Max Factor Fantasy Fire nail polish (Clarins 230 dupes) from the UK a while back. Unfortunately, due to my bad luck with the US postal service, the package was lost in the mail. Because of her amazing generosity, she sent me a replacement for the lost one.
A week or so later my replacement package showed up in my mailbox. It's a GORGEOUS polish. I really, truly love it.
And then, you'll never believe what happned! A few days later...........................
................... The original package shows up! It looked like it had been run over the mail truck several times, but amazingly the polishes remained intact inside!
Because we know there were a lot of people who wanted this color and that it cannot be bought in the US at any local stores, Kerri has agreed to let me do another Giveaway with it!
UPDATE: Thanks to more amazing generosity of another tPF member, I know have TWO bottles of this amazing polish to give away. Tomorrow night I will choose TWO people to send one of these amazing polishes to. To save time, this second bottle will be shipped directly from the member donating it, so when you contact me with your address, I will be forwarding it to her. It just seems silly to have her ship it to me, which would delay shipment to you. If you have a problem with this, please let me know if you are a winner in the giveaway.

Congrats Girls!! Email me your address via the Contact Me link on the right sidebar and send me your address. I'll mail these out Friday or Saturday, if I get your addresses. You have 3 days to contact me with your address.
So, I moved all my pigments in baggies into jars today (well, at least until I ran out of jars, LOL).
The baggie I had of TKB Trading's Zirconium Cluster yeilded FOUR jars - this is way more pigment than I will ever use for doing my nails, and that is all I use these pigments for. So, you guys get the benefit of all the extra!
This pigment is a white powder that is super-shimmery. It has sort of a multi-colored shimmer to it. I like mixing it into clear gel and then applying it over a dark color to add shimmer. I'm sure you could also mix it into regular polish for all the frankeners out there. :-)
All you have to do is leave a comment on this post. Next Wednesday, February 29th, I will use a random picker to choose 3 people to receive one of these jars of pigment. The winners will be posted, and then will have 3 days to send me their address via email (there is a link to contact me in the sidebar on the right).
Here is a picture of the three jars. Each winner will receive one jar (click on the images to enlarge them)
Here is what the zirconium cluster looks like when mixed into clear and applied over a black base.
Here are a few other pictures. The zirconium cluster is the one on the far left of the photos. You can see it fits right in with the Sparks! Collection, even though it is not part of it. It's about the same particle size though
