Giveaway: Personification of Your Favourite Polish

Well a wee while a go I hit 500 followers! W00t! It was all very exciting.
Unfortunately at the time i was uber stressy and busy writing reports.

So welcome to my delayed giveaway!

I've had a few issues lately sending polish overseas. I didn't want to limit a giveaway to just New Zealand followers, but I also wasn't too keen to attempt sending polish internationally. (The postal service send you mean letters telling you off and threatening fines)

I was stuck for ideas... Then I remembered an idea that had been floating round in my head for a wee while... Personifying my favourite polishes. As soon as I saw the China Glaze Electro Pop collection I could see the polishes as people. I'm yet to draw them... but I will one day!

So for my 500 followers giveaway I will be giving away a picture, drawn by me, of your favourite polish personified.

The winner will be able to have input into the drawing, so I can capture how they imagine the polish.
The winner will be emailed the final drawing and will be able to use the image how ever they like. you may use the image on your blog, you may print the image, you may wall paper your nail polish room with the image if you so desire. My only rule is that I ask it not be sold.


I could pretend this was based on a polish... but she's not. I was just a little bored and had this image in my mind.
 The winner will be able to choose what kind of image they would like. A bust, a cropped image or a full length drawing.

They will have input into the pose, clothing, hairstyle, props, colours. The background will be a plain colour.

I will sketch the drawing by hand, scan it to show the winner. They will be able to OK it, before I scan it and colour it on the computer. I will even actually draw hands! (I was feeling rather lazy tonight when I drew theses pics!)

Emerald Fitzgerald, or how I imagine Emerald Fitzgerald would be!
You can clearly see my drawing style from the two pictures I've posted and my blog header. Unfortunately, my style is not going to change, so if you don't like it, please don't enter. I want to draw something that someone will like and appreciate, not be ripped apart for my lack of skill or talent.

If you would like to enter my giveaway please enter using rafflecopter below!

This giveaway is open internationally.
it is for a drawing of the polish of your choice personified, by me.
The giveaway will be open until February 20th 12:00am NZDT.
The winner will be drawn randomly.
The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email and claim their prize, otherwise I will draw another winner.

  3. I've come forth out of the shadows to leave my first comment, mostly because I want to win this. If I were to have a polish personified I think Id go for Pahlish Dark Parades, she's quite dark and alluring, with surprises of colour shining through, completely unaware of how captivating she is

  6. What an amazing idea! I'm trying to think of a favourite polish now. Maybe Zoya Ivanka. So hard to choose!

  7. This is such a cool and unique giveaway! ERM picking which polish is so hard though... Maybe I would have to go with an Enchanted Polish multichrome... or maybe something darker like Vampire's Dessert or a-england Bridal Veil. Argh I don't know!
