self-hosted wordpress dot org blogs

all other blog types

For each daily prompt you complete you earn one raffle entry, for a maximum of 31 entries. After submitting a day’s inlinkz above then you must click one raffle below based on where you live. The more days you do, the more chances you have to win:

We have 31 days of nail prompts in July. You don’t have to start on day 1 and you don’t have to do every day. You can jump in whenever you can, it’s flexible. It’s definitely fun to do them in order, but you don’t have to. Here are the prompts-

The challenge starts on July 1st 2015 Paris time. All 31 inlinkz and raffles open up on that day. We will keep the challenge open until August 5th. We’re giving everyone an extra 5 days in case there’s a few prompts you missed and need some time to catch up. The 5 winners will be chosen on August 7th 2015 and will be notified via email.

We will be giving away 5 prizes at the end. The prize winners will be chosen at random. Each manicure you complete will earn you one raffle entry for your part of the world. Someone who enters 6 daily prompts will have 6 raffle entries, where an entrant who does all 31 days will get 31 chances to win! The 5 winners will be chosen from different areas in the world. We are picking one winner from the USA, one from Canada, one from the UK, one from Europe (not the UK), and one winner from ‘The Rest of the World’. Since there will be 5 raffles going on, it’s important to click the one for the area you live in. Each raffle is clearly marked above, but please pick the right one for your location. Example- If you live in Paris and do 20 prompts in July, then you’ll want to click the “EUROPE raffle” 20 different times in July to earn your 20 chances to win!

Here’s what we’re giving away…

DON’T recycle old manicures. Old nail art designs will be disqualified. You must enter brand new manis (specifically designed for our challenge) to earn a raffle.

DO spread the word by sharing our infographics on your online accounts.

DO get creative with your nail art! Anything goes- acrylic paints, stickers, stamping, glitter, etc.

DON’T just do a swatch. Sorry, but just painting your nails one color doesn’t count. You must add another element like some nail art, an accent nail, a glitter topper, studs or stickers, etc. to qualify.

DO use hashtag #omd3nails in your social media accounts.

DO join in even if you find out about OMD3 in the middle of the month. If you join late you can start on that corresponding day’s prompt, or you can start at the beginning if you’d like.

DO only one manicure per prompt. If you love the color TEAL you aren’t allowed to do 3 teal entries that day to earn 3 raffles. You can only earn a maximum of one raffle per daily prompt.

DON’T feel like you can only join if you have a blog. We encourage everyone with a social media account to enter (instagram, facebook, tumblr, etc.) But please make sure your profile is open so everyone can see your nail pics. If your photo link is broken or won’t display then your entry will be removed.

DON’T cheat! We will verify all raffle entries, so don’t even try! All raffle entries will be verified and bad inlinkz entries will be deleted.

And lastly, DO contact any of us if you have questions!

If you’re curious to see more then check out last year’s gallery of designs here . We had over 2000 entries last year! We’re happy to say that we have fresh new prompts and even more prizes this year so we really hope you join us. Oh mon dieu, this will be fun!
