Guess that polish - 5 year edition

Brace yourselves ladies (and gentlemen) it's finally ready.  I have finally organized myself enough to bring you an amazing giveaway to celebrate my 5 year blogging anniversary last month.

First up I'm going to tell you about the incredible prize pool I have on offer thanks to the support of some AMAZING Australian polish makers.

Hit the bottle stamping polish - a set of 8 rainbow colours for stamping.  Check out my review of these Hit the Bottle polishes. Prize provided by Hit the bottle polishes.


Emily de Molly - Set of three multichrome flakie polishes and the new green holo called Enchanted Isle. Prize provided by Emily de Molly.


Dance Legend - Aquarelle Top coats, full collection of 12 mini bottle. See my review of the Aquarelle Top coats. Prize provided by me.


JOSS Metallic stamping polishes - all six metallic shades.  Prize provided by the Nail Super Store.


JOSS Bold Collection - set of six bright metallic shades. Check my review of the JOSS Bold Collection.  Prize provided by the Nail Super Store.

Messy Mansion Pro Stamper Set - comes with 10 stamper heads in different squishinesses, an XL holder and a priming block. Check out my review of the Messy Mansion Pro Stamper set. Prize provided by Messy Mansion.


Messy Mansion stamping plates - Your choice of four in-stock MM Series stamping plates.  Prize provided by Messy Mansion.



Picture Polish Limited Edition Vampy Chameleons - all six dark and moody shades. There are only just out and I've not worn mine yet, but stay tuned for my swatches.  Prize provided by Picture Polish.

Femme Fatale - Selection of 6 different shades. I don't even own any of these, and it's really hard for me to let them go.  Prize provided by Femme Fatale Cosmetics



Ok, so now it's where things get serious.  I'm not one to just let you fill in a form and try your luck, I like to make you work for the prize, plus I actually think it's kinda fun.  So just like I've done in the past, it's time to:

GUESS THAT POLISH

Below are swatches of 10 polishes, and your challenge is to guess each polish, by both brand and name.  At the bottom of the page is a form where you are to fill in your details, and the details of your guesses.

Polish 1


Polish 2


Polish 3


Polish 4


Polish 5


Polish 6


Polish 7


Polish 8


Polish 9


Polish 10


To make it a little easier, I have some clues for you.

I will tell you which brands I have included polishes from, in no particular order they are:

OPI, Femme Fatale, Emily de Molly, Picture Polish, Dance Legend, Ulta3, JOSS, Chanel, Orly and Nfu Oh.

Another clue is that I have selected one polish that was first shown on my blog from each six month periods I have been blogging. Eg there is one polish that was first shown on my blog during Jan-Jun 2010, another from July-Dec 2010, one from Jan-Jun 2011 and so on through all of 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

I recommend that you write down all your answers on a piece of paper first, then come and enter them into the google doc form below. That is much easier than trying to scroll up and down as you go. 

I've done this twice before and I'm always amazed by the number of ladies that manage to guess all correct brands and polishes.  This time its only 10 polishes, so I'm expecting quite a lot of you will get all of them right. 


FORM REMOVED - ENTRIES CLOSED
The boring but important part.

This giveaway is run by More Nail Polish. Entry is open Internationally. Competition begins 12 April 2015 and ends 19 April 2015 at midnight AEST.  Entrants must provide their name and email address on the google form.  Each person may only enter once, but if you use your google account, you will be able to edit your responses once you have submitted up until the closing date. Duplicate entries for the same person will be deleted.

Any users posting comments on this blog post identifying polishes by brand or name will be deleted and disqualified from entering.

The entrant who correctly identifies the most polishes by brand and name will be the winner.  The highest possible score is 20/20 - one point for each brand and name for all 10 swatches.  If more than one person gets 20/20, these winners will be placed into a random draw to select the winners.

One additional winner will be drawn at random from all entrants who get more than 5/20 correct answers.

The prize pool will be split as I see fit to accommodate the potential number of winners. 

Following More Nail Polish is not a requirement, although I do pretty awesome fun things here so you might want to stick around.

Jewels made by Jess - Picture Polish Kryptonite

The last nail polish jewellery piece from Jewels by Jess that I have to share is a ring that Jess suprised me with made from my Picture Polish collaboration shade, Kryptonite.  It was a lovely surprise and the ring is so gorgeous.  It's adjustable too, so you can squish it or stretch it to wear it on which ever finger you like.

I added some simple gold water decals to the tip of each nail to fancy it up a bit.





As mentioned two days ago, Jess has been kind enough to donate some prizes to my readers.  I've created a rafflecopter giveaway below. You get one entry if you comment on this post and tell me which polish you would like to have a piece of jewellery made out of and why.  You can also get an extra 5 entries if you simply 'admire' the Jewels by Jess Etsy store and another 5 extra entries if you follow the Jewels by Jess Facebook page.

Giveaway closes at 11.59pm Friday 11 April 2014 and it is open internationally.

1000th post - Guess that Gold Polish Giveaway

It's taken me more than three and a half years, but today I've done it.  I've hit the 1000th post!  To celebrate I thought I would do something a little different and fun.  Earlier this year when it was my three year blogging anniversary I did a blog post called Guess that Polish.  I carefully selected 20 polishes from my collection and challenged you ladies to guess them all by brand and name.

Any long term reader of my blog would know that I do love gold polish, so this time around I've chosen to do a gold edition. I've carefully gone through my stash and selected 30 gold polishes.  Let me tell you that narrowing it down to these 30 was a pretty tough challenge for me.  I reckon I could do this about three times over with gold polishes.  Yes, I have a problem!  I do also have plans to do this sort of thing with other colours too. So stay tuned for that! I'm already working on a green edition.

Because this gold edition of Guess that Polish is definitely more challenging than the regular multicoloured edition, I'm going to give you a helping hand.  I'm going to list all the brands that are represented.  I'm not going to tell you which polish is which brand - you'll still have to work that out yourself.  What also makes it trickier is that some of these polishes were new, untried or unblogged for me, so you wont find swatches elsewhere on my blog for all of them. Mmmwaaa haa haa haa.

At the bottom of the page is a simple Google Docs form where you are to provide your name and email, then list off the polish brand and polish name for each of the thirty shades.

Prize Pool

The idea behind doing this isn't really for the prizes, it's more about fun and the bragging rights to say how well you know you polish.  But because of the support of some AMAZING Australian polish makers, I have been able to assemble and totally awesome prize pool.
  1. Five Picture Polish shades - Majesty, Freya's Cats, O'hara and Imperial  - generously provided by Picture Polish and Kryptonite provided by me.
  2. Four Emily de Molly polishes - High Distinction, Jealousy makes you nasty, Inner peace and Head over heels, all generously provided by Hayley from Emily de Molly
  3. 18 JOSS polishes (yes 18!!) - All polishes from the recently released collections Colour Illusion, Holo Expressions and Crystal Collection. Particularly hard to get overseas and generously provided by Beauty World

I recommend that you write down all your answers on a piece of paper first, then come and enter them into the google doc form below. That is much easier than trying to scroll up and down as you go. 

Last time there was nine amazing ladies who guessed all twenty polishes with the correct brand and name.  I will be amazed if anyone out there actually gets all 30 brands and names correct.Yes, it's HARD!!
