Today I will be sharing the entries with you and announcing the winner, who was chosen randomly through random.org. If you missed the announcement for this annual contest, you can view the original blog post HERE. I hope all of you had a wonderful New Year’s, and your 2017 is off to a great start!

ENTRIES

Linda: “My New Year’s manicure is China Glaze Ruby Pumps, a beautiful, ruby red with red shimmer flecks. I picked it because it’s a perfect holiday red and the shimmer flecks give it even more of a festive, holiday look.”

Liz: “I have to keep my nails short for work and I’m a busy mom. This year I spent NYE in with the family but still wanted something fun and festive so I grabbed these Incoco nail strips from my stash.”

WINNER

Congrats to Linda! You are the random winner of this year’s contest! I will be in touch with you so I can send along your prize!

Happy New Year, everyone! 

5th Annual New Year’s Eve Manicure Contest!

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Tuesday! Today I am excited to announce my 5th Annual New Year’s Eve Manicure Contest! Each year I hold a contest in which you all enter your manicures for a chance to win awesome prizes. This year I’ve changed things around so that it is really easy to enter and anyone can win. Let me share the new rules for the contest and this year’s prize with all of you!

CONTEST DETAILS

This year’s Manicure Contest will be held here on my blog, and not on Facebook as I did in the past. To enter, simply email me a photo of your New Year’s Eve manicure! My email is adventuresinpolishland@gmail.com, and please use the subject “NYE Manicure Contest” so I know you are entering!

Your manicure can be anything at all – nail art, glitter, or just plain polish. For examples of past entries, see these photo albums on my Facebook Page: 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012. In addition to emailing me the photo of your manicure, you may send along a short description of your manicure to share why you chose the look for New Year’s Eve.

You have until Tuesday, January 3, 2017, at 11:59PM EST to email me the photo of your manicure. I will upload a blog post on Wednesday, January 4, featuring all of the entries and announcing the winner. This year, the winner will be random. That means that everyone who sends in a manicure and fits the below criteria will have the chance to win this year’s prize! I wanted this contest to be a lot of fun and really simple, so I’ll use random.org to choose a winner from the entries.

Who is eligible to win? While anyone can send me a New Year’s Eve manicure photo to be featured on my blog, only those who have a United States mailing address and are 18 years of age or older, or have parental permission, will be eligible to win this year’s prize.

THE PRIZE

The winner will receive the Rosy Cheeks set from Zoya Nail Polish. This set includes the nail polishes Noah, Courtney, and Tara, and the lipstick in Maxwell. You can see this set in full detail on Zoya’s website HERE.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in a comment or to email me.

I hope you will consider entering my contest! Happy New Year, everyone!

Chick Nail Polish in Raven’s Egg: An OpenSky Score

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Wednesday! Today I have a gorgeous blue nail polish to show you from the nail polish brand Chick. Typically a bottle of polish from this line costs $8, due to it being vegan friendly and chemical free. I was lucky enough to score a set of four Chick polishes on the website OpenSky for just over $6 when I joined and got a bunch of free credits. I got two sets of polishes from this one purchase alone. First I showed you Hello, I Love You! from ncLA, and now I will show you Raven’s Egg!

Raven’s Egg is a navy blue polish with a shimmery finish. It truly shines in the light and has a duochrome feel to it. At times it looks dark purple, but Raven’s Egg is a true navy. This polish also reminds me of a metallic polish, but with a formula that is easy to apply and opaque in two coats. It did chip off in a couple days, but I did not apply top coat when I wore it. Raven’s Egg is a great blue polish, and is unlike any other polish that I own. I think it would be great as a base for nail art! Plus, I love the cute bottle. The rectangular shape makes it easy to store.

Overall, I love the dark blue of Raven’s Egg from Chick Nail Polish! It was a fabulous price on OpenSky, and I would recommend it if you can find it for a bargain, too. I do think $8 would be too much for this polish. You can join OpenSky HERE and you will receive $10 in credit when you sign up. Unfortunately you must spend $50 to use the credits, but you can still get a great deal. Happy Shopping!
