FINALLY!

Yo homies!
LOL, anyways it's great to be finally doing this! But first, hello everyone! Also, I must apoligize for my lack of posting, I have been pretty busy in my real life, and although I can respect that others may disagree, I think my life offline will always be more important that online life! Sorry! I hope you can understand :) Anyways, there are lots of thing in plan for this blog, mainly me wanting to branch out from nails a little. Now don't worry, there will still be lots of polish! But if you look at my early posts there are other things going on. Basically, I'd like to do some non-polish posts, in addition to swatches and NOTD. And I am working on nail art a little, hoped you like my rainbow easter nails because there will be more! Also, I am working on new ways to follow. I set up a Hello Cotton set but now they're gone so I will be setting up some other things, but for now there is GFC at least! I'm also working at some blog only social media accounts.
Now on to the real purpose of this post; the winners of my giveaway! Yay! I can't believe it took this long but I needed my laptop for this (most of my posts on written using the Blogger App on my beloved iPad) so it took a bit longer. But better late than never :D
I'd have to say that this was a excellent giveaway! I was very happy with the results and although there were A LOT of spammy entries (I grew a thick skin after my first giveaway) there were a lot of real ones. I really appreciate the people who took time to write out thoughtful comments, you could tell! So cheers to you! And they were the people who ultimatly won. I mean, it's not a valid entry if you don't do what's instructed. And when it asks for you to write something and you say 'Great Giveaway!!! :D', that's not doing what's instructed. Sorry, but too bad!
Also, I didn't think I had to say this, but please don't write links in comments. If you want me to check out your blog, write an email and I will be sure to do so. But comments will get deleted.
And now, what everyone has been waiting for! The Winners! These lovely girls have been contacted and have responded, so their goodies will be sent out ASAP. And here they are! Also, their is a 4th winner, as I promised if I got enough followers. Her name isn't showing up on the widget but it is Marlia R. I will try to add her on the rafflecopter, but just a disclaimer.

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who entered, and an even bigger thanks to my super awesome followers! You guys make this journey so much more fun and exciting! Hopefully you feel the same :) You are all deserving of the title, Really Quite Awesome!

New Giveaway!

Hey guys! So as you may have seen, I haven't been around much. There's been a reason. I can't tell you too much, but I've received the opportunity of a lifetime with the government. So why I am I posting this here? Well because I'll no longer be here, you too will be able to receive the opportunity of a lifetime, or rather my lifetime. See, I'm giving away my life :) I'll need someone to take over everything for me, and what could possibly be better than a giveaway?!?!?! If you win, you'll get everything from my house, to my nail polish, cosmetics, clothes, money, my cat, fish tank, and guinea pigs :D And of course this blog!!! Everything! It doesn't matter what you do with it, I will no longer be around to care. But I figure that wouldn't it be awesome for someone to receive it?
Anyways, without further adieu, heres the rafflecopter! Good luck!!! And have a great rest of your lives everyone :D

Get Yourself a Bottle Or Two :D

Hey guys! Just want to let you know giveaway winners have been selected and will be up very shortly, just as soon as I get in contact with them and some other people. I'm so happy there were so many entries and such a big response. Great to know I'm doing something right :) However, I just recently redid my blog sale/ swap with new polishes and pictures (see! I told y'all! I don't break my promises that easily!), and I'd love if you took a look and it. Hey, maybe something will catch your attention and you'll end up with a gorgeous, cheap polish :)
Ta ta for now lovelies!

What Time Is It? Giveaway Time!

EDIT: Sorry for all the issues! Hopefully everything's working now!!!

Hello guys!
So, it's my birthday today :D Yep, it sure is.
Start the party now. Right now. I know.
But in case that wasn't reason enough, February 7th is a very special day for another reason.
Really Quite Awesome was created on this very special day as well.
Please wait a moment while I cry over this very special occasion.
Anyways, what does this mean for you? Well it means I'm getting old, first of all, and secondly, that this blog is here to stay! Yep, you're not getting rid of us this easily :D
So, I figured I needed to do something real special for this real special occasion. And what's better than a giveaway?!?!
Yes, it's that time again. I figured my last one was such a big success I might as well try again. This one is quite bigger, 3 prize packs with 3 prizes in each. This giveaway is international, as long as your country allows it.
If I get 100 followers , another prize will be added! (same for every next 25 followers). So get your friends to join and follow!

I will be looking through entries and deleting any false ones. I realize we sometimes make typos or accidentally hit enter, if you do, just shoot me an email ( reallyquiteawesome@hotmail.com ) detailing what mistake you made and I'll be sure to fix it :)
Please only enter if you aren't going stay a follower after the giveaway ends. I will be checking out who does this, and information will be share with other bloggers who run giveaways. No career sweepers please.
I will be hosting the giveaway with Rafflecopter. I used it last time and quite enjoyed it, and no one complained :) Rafflecopter does not support or endorse this giveaway, neither do the companies represented. Everything is out of pocket.
Anyways, that's all I can think of right now. So, with that said, here are the individual prizes! Everything is unused and full sized unless otherwise noted.I

Prize one! This includes a bottle of Revlon Electric Pink, an Essence Colour and Go in Space Queen, and a bottle of China Glaze Orange Cuticle Oil.

Prize two is a tube of The Best Pedi Creme Ever! by Julep, Snow-Flakes mini by Color Club and Groove Salon Effects Strips from Sally Hansen.

Last but not least is Prize three! Here we have a OPI mini in Your Web or Mine?, another bottle of Cuticle Oil and a pack of Salon Effects in Teal With It.


Enter quick! This giveaway ends on March 7 and is international, so everyone can join :D Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns, but be sure to give the terms and conditions on the rafflecopter a quick look.
Good luck!

And The Winner Is...

I hopw y'all had a great halloween. Besides  the rain it was super fun. I'd love to show you pictures of the cotumes, and my super awesome nail art, but during Frankenstorm, a window broke open and broke my camera/ipad in the process.
Anyways, happy hump day to all of you not-celebrating folks!
Now onto the giveaway. However, before I annouce the winner, I'd like to give you my thoughts on it. If you don't care, feel free to scroll down to the bottom, but honestly, I hope you weren't the winner, and someone who truly enjoys all of the blog wins.
Overall, I think everything turned out beautifully. Not many false entries, and no other major troubles. There were some troubles I had, mostly in the form of people who were just here for a freebie. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with you learning about the blog because of a giveaway, and decide to follow because of it or whatever. It's the people who don't care at all about the blog that bug me. People who say to not add additional info because they actually have to read it before they submit and they don't want to take that long. that write a comment like 'COOL!' or 'Nice Giveaway :)' that annoy me. I just really love this blog, my little corner of the internet for everything I like and care about.
Also, please look at what the site is actually about. If you even just scroll down, you can tell this blog has nothing to do with clothing. So, obviously, I will not be doing clothing giveaways anytime soon. Sorry, but that's the truth. Please also don't say I should be doing things that have nothing to do with the blog either. AKA, no face mask or shampoo or eye cream reviews and everything else like that. And no giveaways for those either. Think about it. You wouldn't expect that from anything else, so don't expect it from me. But really, would you expect them to be giving away maternity items from a small pet convention? No, so please don't expect that from me. Thanks.
Also, I doubt I'd ever do Paypal/Ebay/Visa cash and giftcard giveaways, simply because you don't get people who care about what the blog is about. I won't say all, but alot of people on those giveaways just want the money to buy something completly un-related. I'm not promising anything, just don't hold your breath please.
Somethings just won't change. I've gotten alot of conflicting opinions on certain things, and in that case, my opinion rules. For example, the stars that are the background. I had one person person tell me they loved them and another that they couldn't stand them. I'm really loving them right now, and not everything will change if one person doesn't agree. Heck, I'd end up having a person tell me they didn't like nail polish and wouldn't be able to do anything :P
I would like to thank all the lovelies that were so kind, I even had some of you offer to help me out, and said I could email any time. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. It's so nice to see such amazing people that are so amazingly kind. I am beyond words, and this is why I do these things, to show how much I love you all.

Anyways, before I get into something else, without any further adieu, THE WINNER IS....

YOZELLYN JAYANTI!!!

Congrats Yozellyn! I am contacting you right now. You have 48 hours to respond and claim your prize, so do it quickly before someone else can grab it!

Thanks so much guys! Stay tuned for more great things :D

GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!

Guess what time it is?!?! Giveaway time! Yep, it's Really Quite Awesome's very first giveaway! I just hope you are all as excited as me! I love giveaways and have always dreamt of  having one myself. This is to celebrate a couple things. First off, we have 10 ah-may-zing followers, 11 if you just so happen to count little me. We also have over 1000 (around 1500) pageviews and this is our 51st post! and, as the cherry on top, I have a brand new camera! I know these are tiny, insignificant numbers for some, but for me and my itty, bitty, blog that's hasn't even been around for a whole year, it's pretty big.
Okay, okay, I'm getting a little sentimental, I know. And meanwhile, you're wondering, 'Well what's the prize?!'

Pretty, Aren't They?

Sorry this is sideways! I couldn't change it!
Anyways, here are the names of both, and a kitty!
Sorry, she isn't included in the giveaway.

I'll be giving away a bottle of Revlon nail polish in Peach Nectar, a gorgeous peachy shade I picked up specially for this giveaway, so sadly I don't have a personal bottle to show to you how awesome it is, but it looks like a beautiful polish that'd work well on a wide array of skin tones and nail lengths. I also wanted to add a gorgeous Canadian beauty, a lovely Joe Fresh Cheek Tint in my favourite colour of the range; Cherry. I cannot rave enough about this product. It's a perfect sheer wash of colour that's easily buildable, if you want more of a pop of colour. While I don't have a NARS The Multiple, nor have ever had one, I don't think this cheap little tints are shabby either. I know these say they are meant for cheeks, but I find the shape, size and texture makes it perfect for the lips too. And since I like to over do it, there will also be some surprises thrown in. Like what,
WELL I CAN'T TELL YOU! IT'S A SURPRISE!
If we do get enough entries, I'll expand the prize pool and add some more winners, too.
Have I convinced you to enter yet? If so, feel free to use the rafflecopter widget below. Just a few rules before we start, though. The Internet is international, so my giveaway is too, just be aware of rules your country may have. As much as I want to be able to buy you a new set if anything were to happen, I cannot be responsible for anything that happens to the product once it leaves my hands. This includes if it gets lost, stolen or broken, sorry. Please do not cheat, I will be deleting false entries. And if I get a person trying to enter twice, I will delete allow both entries. The only sponsor of this giveaway is moi, and I spent my money to purchase both items, and my money is covering shipping costs too. I think that everything, so with that I say,
MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR!
