Have you ever seen a product and thought,
"That is so cool! How did she do that?"
Well, welcome to Sparetime Crafts - the clever and creative genius behind these:
I know you think that it's just a box . . . but wait . . . there's more:
And check it out fully open:
Bev (of Flamingo Toes fame) and I are moving from head to toe with tips to pamper, renew and refresh. This morning's giveaway moves us from face and eyes to hands and fingers. We can't all take time to visit a nail salon for a manicure, and we don't all have the money to either. But a good manicure is in your grasp if you have the right tools to give yourself one at home.
And thanks to Carolyn at Sparetime Crafts, one of you will have those tools at your fingertips in your very own Etui box. An Etui box is a 23 piece box (including manicure tools) that holds all your manicure supplies. It is fashioned after the Chinese concept of "a box within a box".
The winner of this giveaway gets to choose the Etui box of her choice. (Sparetime Crafts also carries Etui boxes for needlework . . . so clever!)
First entry:
~Tell the truth . . . do you have one funky nail on one of your fingers right now? You know . . . the kind of nail that snags on every sweater you put on because you can't be bothered to use a nail file. I do! Actually, I have three of them!
Leave a comment for each extra entry:
~Be or become a twelve crafts follower. Again, there are other ways to enter, so please follow because you want to hang out here with me . . . not because you want to win a giveaway. ~Be or become a follower of the Flamingo Toes.
~Visit Sparetime Crafts and tell me which color of Etui box you will choose if you win.
~Heart that box on Etsy (add it to favorites).
~Heart the shop on Etsy (add it to favorites).

1 – 200 of 213 Newer› Newest»I don't have a funky one on my fingers, but I do have one on my toe, my pinky toe looks like someone squished it, and it stayed that way, lol. My husband calls it my itty bitty, because its so small, lol. Oh, and it snags constantly!

I just trimmed my fingernails, but I do have a super funky toe with two nails on it.

I checked out the shop and, honestly, I would pick the color combination you featured, the black and white. It's my favorite.
cool box. My nails are always awful. So I have ten of "those kinds" of nails..

Well, if we're being honest I'd say I have 7 fingernails in need of some attention! My nails are horrific.

I also follow Flamingo Toes! :)
I like the black with polka dots the best because it looks like a die! (I am a bunko nut!)
I do have your button on my blog. alwayssewlove!
I shouldn't but I just noticed yesterday that my manicure (that I did myself) cracked along the bottom because my cuticle is in such bad shape on one finger.
I also follow Flamingo Toes.
Those are amazing boxes! I'd love one of the sewing boxes.
I have a snag nail on each hand right now. It always seems like I do no matter how well I try and take care of them. LOL

I love the one she has as her profile picture but she doesn't have it in her shop so I'll have to go with the black and green one.
I am a nail biter, sad to say, so my nails don't ever look that great.
I am a follower.
I follow Flamingo Toes too.
I like the evening sky box in her shop.
Ha! I *totally* have a funky nail right now! Two, actually. I could move furniture all day long and not break a nail, but let me try to fluff a pillow or put shirt on a hanger, and *snap* off goes the nail!! No fake nails for me...so I have to wait it out.
and I follow flamingo toes :)
I think my fav is the polka dot one. Though I like the black one with the green riboon too, but like the manicure sets over the sewing set. So cute though!!!
I don't have a funky one, but that is only because I gave myself a manicure last night, but I noticed my manicure set could use an upgrade...wink wink!
I am a Flamingo Toes follower!!
I would without a doubt choose the teal and mustard box, those colors are sooo wonderfully yummy!
Both of my hands have nails that are funky! lol :)

I have the lovely Spa Blog Button on all my posts this week....check it out http://westcoastleslie.blogspot.com/2011/01/sisterly-spa-series-day-2-face-mask.html
What a cool idea!! I love it!! And yes, my nails are always snagging... but who has time to stop and file?? LOL
I LOVE this box. The whole idea is just awesome. My funky finger is one that must have been stepped on or slammed in a door at some point -- the nail is completely not symmetrical and flat on one side, and the little veins in the nail are very prominent. But neither I nor my mother ever remember any trauma. Weird.
Flamingo Toes follower!
Blog Spa button on my blog too!
Follower, guilty as charged.

I am completely digging on the green and black box. I can't get over how awesome the idea of a manicure-box-in-a-box is!
Hearted the box!
Hearted the shop!
And I have your button, proudly displayed.
My fingernails look good, because I just did them last night... However I have this funky toenail... When I was young my toe got cut off, and sewn back on. But my nail has NEVER grown! It's tiny, so I just paint it and hope people don't notice! lol

My favorite box is the black floral on green fabric, beautiful!
Added that box to my favorites :)
Added Sparetime Crafts to my favorite shops. I may need one of the needlework boxes as a near future gift. :)
All my finger nails are funky. I make jewelry and seem to always be doing something to one nail or another.
I have one funky nail on my left hand that grows crooked...one side curves down as it grows and the other side curls UP...drives me crazy!
I follow you!

i have one hang nail on one side that keeps catching and bleeding... it's so embarrassing to look down and have been bleeding all over!!!

All my nails are funky. They are short and squatty and not very strong. (So I have to keep them short.) This would be so darn cool! www.makingmemorieswithyourkids.blogspot.com
Of course I'm a follower! =o) www.makingmemorieswithyourkids.blogspot.com
went to check out the boxes. I like the mustard & blue combo!
yes i actually just broke a nail and its all lopsided and weird looking, but of course I can't find my nail clippers or a file..because I don't have a cute box to keep them in!! I also like the sewing boxes too! I like the HandCrafted Etui Needlework Sewing Box the black and green one and I like the HandCrafted Etui Manicure Box in blue and golden yellow! I have added both of the items to my favorites and i added the shop to my favorites as well! Those would be great gifts to give as well!
I always have at least one funky nail or cuticle.

If you would have posted this yesterday, I SO would have had to admit that my pinky nail on my right hand was a hot mess!! However, last night I got so frustrated with it, I filed it down. :-P But, now, I think my thumb nail feels neglected and is starting to act up!
I favorited "Spare Time Crafts" on etsy!
I want the very one you have pictured there! The polka dots etui manicure box! I favorited it on etsy... and I'm hoping to get it for V day (if I'm not a winner) :)

Sadly, all my nails are funky..I am almost thirty and I still bite them. :-( Maybe some cute gear will convince me not to!

being honest...I don't have any funky nails because I sat in my mini...van...and clipped and filed while waiting for my daughter to get out of school!

OK, had to share my creepy nail story. Got a great french manicure a couple of weeks ago, but now it is cracking and gross. Then, last night I dyed my hair (took off the gloves when I shouldn't have, of course), and now two of the nails are dyed brown, along with the yucky cracking french manicure. It looks terrific, and classy too!
Those boxes are sooo neat! I would choose the purple butterfly manicure box, or maybe the black and green manicure box...ugh...so many beautiful choices!
I added Sparetime Crafts to favorites on etsy!
I added both boxes to my favorites!
And- I am adding lots o' comment love to both blogs...I'm a super commenter, lol!
No! I don't have any nails at all, to my confession. I need to stop biting them!:p

No nails; I despise them and clip them off as quickly as they grow. They are just too hard for me to craft with or type on my computer - and those are the important things in life right?!
I have two hands full of snaggle tooth nails. None of them are the same length; I have cuticle issues galore, and thy are dry, dry in this Colorado winter climate.
I'm a happy Twelve Crafts follower. :)

Almost forgot to tell you about my funky nail. My middle finger got shut in a car door when I was a kid and the nail has never grown right since. It grows wavey and is really hard to paint with polish, file, etc.

No funky nails at the moment. Filed it last night.
