China Glaze for Days! - A Two-fer! China Glaze Lubu Heels and Ruby Pumps!

China Glaze for Days! China Glaze Blue Sparrow

China Glaze Blue Sparrow (Neon) is easily one of my favorite polishes. There I said it again! And one of my all time favorite blues. The jelly and glitter, I love that combo. This is a beauty.

2nd half Contest Winner and Heads up on Next Contest!!

We had a winner for the second half of the contest! Congratulations to AdorePink!!! She correctly guessed the order of the polishes! She wins a bottle of Nina Ultra Pro In a Tiff! (I love the Nina, the polish has a subtle silver shimmer!)

That was a LOT of fun!!! I foresee more of these contests in the future! I thought the first part was so hard, and would last days and the second part the first answer would be right, but the second part turned out to be harder than I thought. Thanks for all your great entries!

And just so we can salivate for the next contest, when the China Glaze for Days polish blogging is over at the end of August, I will be giving away the ENTIRE RETRO DIVA SET, thanks to the incredible people at China Glaze!!! I'll be giving away both "halves" of the set, so two winners. One lucky person will win the "Let's Cruise" set, and one equally lucky person the "Get Down Tonight" set! So keep posted and let your friends know!


Answer to the What order Am I Wearing the Polish In Question:
Left to Right:
Essie Greenport
Nina Ultra Pro In a Tiff
China Glaze for Audrey
Diamond Oh, Tiff

CONTEST WINNER!!!! Let the Second Half Begin!!

Congratulations to April Brooks who won the first half of the contest. She correctly guessed that the polishes are:

Diamond Oh, Tiff
China Glaze For Audrey
Essie Greenport
Nina Ultra Pro In a Tiff

Well done and congratulations to April! April wins a new bottle of China Glaze For Audrey!

The second half of the contest is the first person who correctly tells me the ORDER in which I am wearing them, Right to left, Pinkie to Index! Shhh, April! :D

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!!

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Dripping Wet

Dripping Wet is a beautiful sort of merlot wine color. It's a deep red jelly with a hint of purple, and vampy as all hell. It has a beautiful translucent feeling. And a name that brings me right down into the gutter.

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Blue Island Iced Tea

China Glaze Blue Island Iced Tea doesn't remind me of iced tea or a boozy drink, it reminds me of a cool afternoon on a sailboat, with the waves glinting and shimmering. Pretty certain this is a glass fleck polish, and as such, one of the most beautiful polishes around!

China Glaze Blue Island Iced Tea:

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Cherry Crystal

A deep dusty cherry red, with somehow a hint of purple, and a nice sleek shimmer. An overlooked beauty!

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Raggae to Riches

Fuchsia pink, Purple shimmer. What else do you need to know??

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Flying Dragon

China Glaze Flying Dragon is absolutely in my top ten polishes of all time. Whenever I wear it I spend an inordinate amount of time admiring my nails. It's mesmerizing. I love the shade of purple, the fine grain red and blue glitter, I love all of it. China Glaze bills this as a neon I am pretty sure, and it does dry matte like many neons. Mine's a bit watery, so I keep my brush lightly loaded.

China Glaze Flying Dragon:

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Dusk

Dusk is a smoky purple creme with the barest hint of shimmer. Kind of an eggplant color!

China Glaze Dusk:

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires

Eyes Like Sapphires - beautiful azure blue frost with added large grain shimmer. Kinda like stars coming out at dusk.

China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires:

China Glaze for Days! - For Audrey

We all know and love that Tiffany-box blue right? Who couldn't love it? Sometimes the creme formula can be thick, so thin it down with a few drops of thinner and it works beautifully. And it will look cool and feminine and yet totally stylish.

China Glaze for Days! - China Glaze Golden Enchantment

Golden Enchantment is a gold "rainbow" microfine glitter which you could wear alone but I would probably wear as a layered topcoat. I don't think this is what you could call holographic glitter. I like to personally define holographic glitter as having a curved rainbow on the nail that is cohesive, shared among the grains of glitter. Rainbow glitter, to me, flashes all colors of the spectrum, but no matter how much of it you have it does not have that shared whole nail rainbow effect.

Anyway now that I have been pedantic, enjoy Golden Enchantment.
