Giveaway: Face of Australia Barbados Collection

THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

Giveaway - Face of Australia Barbados Collection

Remember when I blogged about Face of Australia’s limited edition Barbados collection? Guess what? One lucky reader will be able to win the entire set of 8 nail polishes!

*cue applause and a whole lot of whoop whoop*

All of you have to do is let me know what your favourite nail polish (from any brand) is in the comments, and why. The most creative answer wins. Too easy!

Australian readers only this time. I’d love to open this to international readers as well, but due to Australian Post restrictions, nail lacquers cannot be delivered out of the country. Boo!

The closing date of this giveaway is 12 March 2012 (Melbourne time, +10 GMT). All comments will be closed, and results tabulated. The most creative answer will be picked, and the winner will be announced on 14 March.

Feel free to spread the word to your fellow Aussie beauty lovers. I’d really appreciate it.

Good luck! 😀

    REVITALNAIL! It’s the best, long wearing and it makes my nails grow without any effort at all.

  2. Cathy Dunn

    It’s always been Avon, but I really feel like a change of tune! I need something new, so my nails can really sing!

  3. Mystique

    Twas the night before birthday bash
    and all on the hand,
    Not a cuticle was stirring,
    waiting for the polish to paint the hand.
    Essie was the polish of choice
    Long lasting,
    Gorgeous colour payoff
    and sexy of course!

    I like to Mauve it, Mauve it.
    no time to sit , the colour is a hit!!
    out on the town, flaunting my nails
    no one can take the wind from my sails!
    Mauve it is the colour for me
    makes me happy , come share with me ♥

  5. Deb

    I’ve always used AVON Quick-Dry because I’m always rushing – but now it’s probably time to slow down, smell the roses, and try other options! Whoop whoop!!

  6. Narelle Rock

    For added colour,
    whether pink or blue,
    Red, green, even glittery too,
    Having pretty nails puts me on a high,
    Especially when I use the ones from OPI,
    They go on thick and dry real quick,
    Only problem is which colour to pick!

  7. Amanda Elizabeth from Amanda's Mummy Jeans

    At the moment I’m using Sally Hansen’s nailpolishes. I find that they are simple to apply and long lasting. My 4 year old daughter and I have Mummy and Me days where we have nailpolish on our toenails and read books! So fun xoxoxo

  8. Lucy

    OPI’s I’m Not Really a Waitress is an absolutely gorgeous shade of red. What can I say? I really am not a waitress.

  9. Michelle Vamvas

    As a busy mum of three aged 7 and under
    Manicure time’s limited, is it any wonder?
    So, a polish that dries in 60 seconds
    Is totally ideal, and certainly beckons.
    With bold, bright, beautiful hues
    I know with those features I really can’t lose.
    So, for me there’s only one brand that’s not a failure
    And it’s of course, it is the Face Of Australia!

  10. Vicki P

    Nails painted red,
    Sometimes there blue,
    Rimmel 60 second polish,
    Is my favourite whoop whoop!!!!!!

  11. Raylene Barton

    Wow – mine is OPI Italian Love affair. I was wearing it a lot and then I met my beautiful Italian boy… 🙂

  15. Louise

    ORLY Nail Laquer in “Gumdrop” is my current fav. It’s a matt, pastely pop shade of teal. I know it’s good because my Nan hates it! Haha 🙂

  16. Amanda-Jane Snell

    These beautiful nail colours would encourage me to stop biting my nails & i would love to win something that is for me especially with a newborn baby due in just under 9 weeks time.

  17. Susan

    Im a Plain Jane / Busy Mum, but with toe nails painted Revlon red.
    Thinks me need some more colour shades, to add to my collection of one!

  18. Danielle W

    It’s not so much a “polish” but Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips (stick on nail polish!!!) are FAB! So easy to use, and they last aaaaages compared to any other NP I’ve ever used. Fave colour GLITZ BLITZ – it’s glittery, gold, and a GODSEND! 🙂

  19. Jasmine Eastwood

    I use a holographic black with Opi’s teenage dream on top, it gives a great sparkle with all the colours of the rainbow and instantly puts a smile on my face whenever i look at my painted fingers or toes!

  20. kelly evans

    Australis is the one for me, as Aussie as I can be, great colours such as grape, blush and seed. Australis Nail Polish gives me the lift I need!

  21. Kylie Bosman

    OPI Shatter colours because you can create so many different looks and they are fun to mix and match, love them, use them all the time

  22. Roni Jean

    I see lots of entries rhyming,
    But my mind seems to be stuck,
    Doesn’t matter anyway,
    Cause my rhyming really sucks.

    So here’s the thing I want to say,
    About my favourite polish,
    I don’t bother much with lacquer,
    Cos I tend to paint and demolish.

    But when I did take the time,
    To pain my nails a certain hue,
    I’d lean towards the gothic,
    Only the darkest shades would do.

    So, I’m entering with the thought,
    I might win some for my daughter,
    Maybe she will share them with me,
    Like a caring daughter, oughta.

  23. kelly evans

    Australis is the one for me, Aussie as I can be, great colours including Grape, Blush and Seed. Australis gives me the lift I need!

  24. Roni Jean

    lol, paint, not pain. Doh!

  25. Tres__chic

    My heart stopped when I read about this comp. I’m such a colorful person it’s hard to pick a favourite but I would have to say atomic orange by OPI. I totally love colour polish.

  26. Tara Parish

    Butter in “no more waity katy” is still a favourite subtle, classy and great with blue jeans or a fabulous lilac bridesmaids dress-yes I have done both.

  27. jessica

    all brands having nice strong nails after a good 20 years of being a cronic nail biter is fantastic

  28. vanessa

    Face of Australia because it reflects an Aussie dream come true – beautiful fresh and modern Australian make-up products made by an Aussie!

  29. Sarah Garvey

    Loreal Jetset… I have a toddler and waiting for my nails to dry before I need to do something with my hands isn’t an option! This is fantastic, drys in no time! So nice to have smudge free nails! 🙂

  30. Jess

    Nubar’s Gold Leaf is the only nail polish I own that literally blew my mind away once it was painted on. The only one that I can’t bear to tear my eyes away off of it. That in my books equals to my FAV polish!

  31. Kathy McDuff

    Fool’s Gold by TBN – it’s a gorgeous glittery lilacy colour that always reminds me of easter egg wrappers when we were kids. Chocolate and nail polish – my two favourite things combined!!

  32. Anita Black

    Any brand that is quick to dry
    With colours of the rainbow in the sky
    Lasting colour with gloss and shine
    Glistening against my glass of wine
    Complimenting my color of clothes
    From my fingers to my toes.

  33. JessicaM

    I do love robo romance by orly. It’s pink, sparkled with glitter and sheer. Totally a princess polish!

  34. Amanda

    Sally hansen diamond strength in deeply violet it’s great for your nails and a gorgeous colour too…

  35. Ruby

    The Chandelier collection by Napoleon Perdis is my ultimate fave! I always have a pretty nail when the world is wrapped around my finger 😉

  36. Trish

    I love the OPI range of colours:
    O – opulent colors and quality
    P – party sensation
    I – indulgent product
    Love to OPI!

  37. Susan

    I love OPI’s You Don’t Know Jacques! Suede. I love it because it not only looks A-M-A-Z-I-N-G it dries at superhuman speed. Even if I have five mins, I can put it on and still run out of the door without worrying about it smudging.

  38. Krystal

    OPI Black Cherry Chutney, it’s the most delicious, mouth watering, hunger stirring polish out, that entices the senses and excites the dessert craving monster in us all.

  39. Debbie

    piCture pOlish is number one.
    ‘Ozotic 513’ purple holographic rainbow of colours is my fave.
    ‘Watermelon’ not far behind covered in a flakie ‘Festival’ of colour.

  40. Lauren

    I’m going to be boring and say red. You did say pick your favourite and I love red nailpolish as it goes with everything, and is never out of style, and it makes me feel just that little bit fancy and posh wearing it…even if I’m at work in a childcare centre wearing a polo shirt and paint covered pants thanks to the children!

  41. Monique

    Chi Chi’s Bootylicious. A gorgeous teal colour. I love it because it is long lasting and a great colour that I associate with all things summer- warmth, light and fun! Plus, the name is fun!

  42. Alice Antonov

    My favourite nail polish is 108 Degrees by China Glaze. It’s bright, it’s shimmery and, best of all, it’s PINK.

  43. marjorie comandao

    I adored OPI brand of polish for its opulent long lasting colour and shine. I always thought nothing else can outshine it, but when i ventured to try A China Glaze Polish, I fell in love with it too. I guess, as long as we make ourselves open to try anything and everything, we will always be stumbling on gems. All we need is to be adventurous. Now is the best opportunity to try out another range of product from a very reliable and trustworthy brand- Australia. Since I bought my first Australis Ready Set Go finishing powder, there was no stopping for me to try out the other products-primer, mineral inject lipgloss, paparazzi HD brightener..all were outstanding prized finds. Im sure the new Australis Barbados collection will be another prized catch, so i can’t wait to try it out and complete my collection of precious beauty jewels from the tip of my face to the tips of my nails. (when will Australis launch its own hair care collection, then i could truly lavish myself from head to foot pampering!)

  44. Eleena Shrestha

    OPI Breathe Life- It’s a sheer silvery blue with a kind of iridescent/moonstone look to it. I love the look of just having a slight silver/blue iridescence on my nails.. And I always get a ton of compliments when I wear it.REVLON Nail Enamel in Rock,DIOR Nail color in Bronze. I love shades, from lustrous metallics in graphite and burnished bronze to smoky purples and steely blues. It compliments this season’s fashion trend and has written elegance all over it. 🙂 Xx

  45. Hannah Vesinger

    Rimmel. I’ma loyal fan of their cheap but good quality colours, but I’m sure I could be swayed with a free prize from an equally great brand 😉

  46. rebecca hendy

    My favourite is Revlon Red! It is striking, elegant and sexy, perfect for that little black dress or bright blue high-waisted skirt. Red red red! It is my signature colour of winter!

  47. Toni F

    Calypso Gold – Cream with gold shimmer as it suits my personality!!

  48. Jos

    I love Sportsgirl’s Nail It in Bronze

    We have bright green nailpolish which comes in so handy
    with ST patricks day coming up,
    and my kids attending ST Patricks school

  50. Pauline

    Any jet set nail polish are my faves! I can’t sit still long enough for any of the others to dry

  51. Simone Nelson

    I usually stick to clear gloss Sally Hansen on my fingers but my daughters and I we have fun doing our toe nails its a weekly event in my house and the bright colours would go down so well with them!

  52. Jenny M

    Dear Tine @ Beautyholics Anonymous,

    Jenny been diagnosed with a severe case of Nail Polish Addiction Syndrome. She went to the Doctor – he prescribed her with Face of Australia’s gorgeous Barbados Collection. After all, the MBBE ladies can’t help having superb taste.

    Jenny’s favourite nail polish is Face of Australia’s ‘Champagne Kiss’. It’s the colour of fairy floss: a decadent, soft shade of glossy baby pink, that makes her manicure look like a million dollars, when in fact, it was only $6.95.

    Jenny promises that Face of Australia’s Barbados Collection will live an exciting life (they say they get bored sitting inside of the cardboard box all day!). They will be out and about on Jenny’s fingertips – eavesdropping at intimate dinners, typing on keyboards at work, fist pumping at nightclubs and… giving people the finger, no, just kidding!

    Please let them be friends, it would make Jenny so happy. And it’s just what the Doctor prescribed!

    Love,

    Jenny’s Fingernails xx

  53. Kate

    Ulta3 in Jade is my absolute favourite polish at the moment (it’s true that moments in time aren’t very long, but they can be very intense!)I am unashamedly a flutterer when it comes to nail polish, bright pink today, periwinke blue tomorrow..nail polish cannot rest on it’s laurels with me as it may soon be surpassed by another brand and colour even once I’ve applied it.

    That said, I find it difficult to part with any nail polish …though my neice recently happily started her collection with a dozen mini bottles I happened to own and which had brushes the perfect size for her petitie teenage nails.. and my collection is a true horders’ aladdins cave of hues and finishes of almost every sort and almost every brand represented..it’s just missing some metallics with the gorgeous shimmers seen in FOA fabulour Barbados collection. Each and every bottle in this collection is a treasure I’d love to sample!

  54. Maria P

    OPI colours reign supreme,
    they go and stay on like a dream.
    Glittery, glossy or plain bold,
    the colours are all a sight to behold.
