China Glaze Retro Diva Collection Giveaway!!

So as promised, I am giving away the China Glaze Retro Diva Collection, in its two boxed sets! One person will win the Get Down Tonight set, one person will win the Let's Cruise set. Two winners! Yay!

You can be anyone, anywhere in the world, all you have to do is email me your name, and tell me which China Glaze nail polish is your favorite and why. My email is polishmayhem@gmail.com, it's also in my profile. I will draw two winners at random next Monday afternoon.

Good Luck!!!!

SOME FURTHER INFORMATION!!:
I don't mind if you haven't tried China Glaze, or can't get it. Winners will be picked randomly, not based on answer. Anyone, anywhere in the world can join.
I will pick what set you get, I will try to accomodate a request but can not promise anything at all.
I will get tracking info on the package only if you are in the US, but not if overseas. I may choose to get insurance, I don't know. All the shipping and packaging for this contest is coming out of my pocket, though the polishes come from China Glaze. I will NOT be sending you replacements if something breaks in shipping, or if it never appears. If you are in the USA, since this is a large prize I MAY choose to get insurance. But if I don't I will be very sorry and commisserate with you, and if you are not in the USA you are just out of luck. Sorry, darlings. No one has not gotten a package yet except poor AdorePink, whose polish seems to have vanished. She will probably get another one since it isn't a huge expense for me. But for this giveaway, what I wrote stands.

Contest!!! Guess the Polishes!!!

UPDATE FOR CLARITY!!!:
This is FOUR different polishes, and I am not, sorry, going to tell you which ones you get right (or wrong) when you guess. But you can guess as many times as you want!!


Okay I promised this contest earlier but with my Anatomy final, my laziness, the Zoya tweet freebie madness taking up everyone's attention, etc., I did not get to it.

This contest is very simple. Look at the picture posted below and be the first to tell me what nail polishes I am wearing!! The FIRST PERSON who emails me the right answer to polishmayhem@gmail.com (determined by time stamp on the email) gets a brand new unused bottle of one of the polishes pictured, my choice. Anyone anywhere may enter this contest!!

Then we will have a second half to this contest in which a second bottle will be given away! So don't give up!!

If no one gets the first half of this contest right, in two days I will post a second clue picture. So guess away!!

Sally Hansen Emerald City and Amour Rain Glitter Giveaway Winners!!

This was a fun contest! I found a random number picker where you enter names and then it picks one by spinning them in a slot machine after you pull the handle. Cute! The random winner of the Sally Hansen Emerald City polish is Jessamine Pittar! Congratulations Jessamine!

The winner of the Amour Rain Glitter contest was harder to pick. I had some lovely suggestions, like OPI DS Coronation and Shanghai Shimmer, several votes for China Glaze Ruby Pumps (and why not, it's gorgeous!), Nilens Jord, BarryM Blue Glitter and Red Speckle by Santee. Some kind people entered for family and friends. Very sweet! Sally sent a VERY blingy animated entry that tickled me. Comments made about rain glitter were: "sex in a bottle", "all different colours of glitter in one... you can match... with every outfit".

I really liked the entries and it was hard to decide. Some notable entries were:

I would love to win the Amour Rain Glitter because it looks like christmas lights.
-Carolyn

Who doesn't like glitter polish? Let me know and I will glitterize EVERYTHING they own. : )
-Denielle

My favorite is the Ulta Hollywood. The bright red satisfies my inner whore. Plus it is smoother to the touch and doesn't squick me out when I compulsively rub my nails.
-Barbara

But the winner had to be Lynne Rafferty. Her entry:
My favourite glitter polish that I've tried so far is Amour Blue. I am basically a glitter fanatic. I always have been. Glitter, sparkles, shimmer - if it is shiny, I want it. My mom has called me a crow since I was little. Amour Blue is just so dense, so sparkly it's unreal, and I love those big flat brushes that make it so very easy to apply.

Although it does look different, getting lost in the sparkliness of Amour Blue sort of reminds me of the car my parents had when I was little: a ginormous metallic baby blue 1985 Buick LeSabre. I was fascinated by the sparkly car paint in the sun as a kid. I wanted ALL paint to be sparkly like cars! My parents had always told us not to touch the car, a command I took very seriously until one day I could no longer resist the sparkliness as I walked by. Ever the trickster, I pulled my sleeve down over my finger and ran my finger up the side of the car. I had circumvented the rules by not DIRECTLY touching the car! Only some dirt got on my sweatercoat, but that's okay, I could just cut that part off and no one would be the wiser, right? (The thought processes of 5-year-olds.)

The end result of my childhood numbskullery is that the entire arm of the sweatercoat my mom knit for me unravelled because I was a dumbass and cut a chunk out of it to hide the fact that I had Touched The Car *gasp* which was the biggest no-no ever. Mom fixed the sweater, but she did not let that go for years.

And now that I'm back from my tangent, Amour Blue is as mesmerising to me now as that sparkly car paint was to me as a kid. Ooh, shiny!


Congratulations, Lynne, enjoy your polish, and I will see you all very soon with another giveaway!!!

Sally Hansen Emerald City and Amour Rain Glitter Giveaways!!

I've heard quite a bit about Sally Hansen Emerald City. Yep, another green! I've heard it is extremely hard to find. Well some good news! Looks like Sally Hansen rereleased it with a bunch of other colors in a sort of old color revamp. I found it in Walgreen's in a display with a bunch of other polishes, all with new sort of titanium look caps, a black metallic look. I also found a couple with white tops. The metallized cap is mine, but YOU can have one of the white tops!

Just email me at polishmayhem@gmail.com with your name and ask to be entered in the drawing! I will hold it next Monday night!

But since this is another green and I had already had another contest in mind - this week we have a double giveaway!! I am also giving away a new bottle of Amour Rain Glitter thanks to my dear friend Rebecca! All you have to do is email me at polishmayhem@gmail.com and tell me YOUR favorite glitter, or why you don't wear glitter nail polish! My favorite response will win the bottle!! I will also announce the winner for this Monday, with the Emerald City winner.

Giveaway! China Glaze Emerald Sparkle Nail Polish!

I recently acquired two bottles of China Glaze's famous and discontinued Emerald Sparkle Nail Polish!! I bought two with the express intention of giving one away to a Polish Mayhem reader. The one I send you will be unused and unopened.

All you have to do is email your name to polishmayhem@gmail.com, and answer the following trivia question:

In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name... His name is ______________!


All I ask is that you do not own a nail blog, and post a comment here on Project Mayhem acknowledging when you recieve your polish so people know a real person won, and that you be a resident of the United States (sorry Canada and International, I swear I'll get you later!). I will delete all emails after the contest, your information will go nowhere, not even into a newsletter for me. All I want to do is give away a stunning polish. I will close entries next Friday and announce the randomly picked winner Friday evening.

Good Luck!!!
