The response to our banner contest was amazing! We received 107 entries in all from approximately 45 people. We were overwhelmed by the skill, time and effort people put into creating banners for us. It is truly an honor to have such a talented readership.
Though we were unanimous in our agreement on our ultimate choice for our new banner, there were many gorgeous, creative banners that we felt could have been wonderful for Polish or Perish. Before I show you the winner, I want to showcase some of our Honorable Mentions and, of course, our Runner-Up.
Honorable Mentions (in no particular order)
From Jessmoberry:
From The Nail Ninja:
From Cordy:
From Toxin:
Toxin deserves a special thanks for submitting the most banners out of anyone who entered the contest. She had many wonderful banners and this one was one of our favorites!
And now... drumroll please...
Our RUNNER UP PRIZE goes to SNAPHAPPY, who used her gorgeous photo of a mixture of OPI Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice.
And finally....
Our GRAND PRIZE goes to HEIDI, who submitted this stunner:
We all voted this one in as our absolute favorite. It expresses who we are perfectly. These are the degrees we either have or are aspiring to... including our "basecoat" of bachelor's degrees. We are thrilled to know that when we visit our blog, this banner will be the one greeting us. (Heidi, if you're reading this, please check your email and tell us which four of the six prizes you want!)
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be working on a new layout for the blog to match our brand new banner. (Say buh-bye to the nice teal color...) We hope to debut our new look in mid-April! Hopefully without too many glitches...
Thank you again to all the people who submitted entries to our contest. We are so grateful to have such a brilliant audience to whom we can show off our nail polish. :)
