Chanel Paradoxal Giveaway!

22 July 2010 - by Playing with Polish

I am not a fan of spending $23 for a single polish. I’m betting that you aren’t either. So when I bought Paradoxal I got two - one for me and one for you!

Thanks for the Tweet Jen! You have an awesome blog btw!

You’re my new hero

I love paradoxal, but would never in my wildest dreams spend that much money on a polish. I mean, I can buy like 15 other polishes for that money XD

But since you’re giving one away… Please enter me! I’d love to show off in Chanel, even if it’s just on my nails:) I also twitted (Fleurs_nails), but not to get a bonus entry or anything, just to let others know. Come to think of it, it was a stupid idea… The more people know… the less chance I have to get picked… Damn, silly me )

*Fleur* on July 22nd, 2010 at 6:26 pm

Fleur, I agree that $23 is a lot! To be honest this is the first Chanel I have bought in a while. There is something nice about sporting such a fancy label though – oh la la!

Thanks for the Tweet!!!

Love your blog btw! It is really cool getting to seeing other people’s pics, and read their thoughts

Playing with Polish on July 22nd, 2010 at 11:13 pm

That color is just gorgeous, I love the complexity of the shade! I’m looking forward to trying out some of the gray-taupe colors – I haven’t had the guts yet. Thanks!

Megan C. on July 22nd, 2010 at 7:16 pm

Megan,

it really is a cool color!I like the grey/taupe shades. Something about them strikes me as being very cuddly & chic at the same time!

Playing with Polish on July 22nd, 2010 at 11:16 pm

Thank you so much for giving us the chance to win such an amazing gift. I love Paradoxal, but I could never afford, let alone justify spending $23 on one bottle of nail polish. You are officially my nail polish hero!

Cindy A. on July 22nd, 2010 at 9:53 pm

Cindy, I am glad I get to share my love of polish!

Btw, you have some great things in your Etsy shop! I love that vintage flair!!

Playing with Polish on July 22nd, 2010 at 11:19 pm

Wow, this is an amazing giveaway I really like to enter! I think paradoxal is a great autumn/winter polish. I really love dark purple. But chanel polish is too expensive. I would only buy it when there’s a colour I simply can’t resist.

Nathalie on July 23rd, 2010 at 3:55 pm

Nathalie, I love dark purple too! Heck, I pretty much love all purple shades Chanel is expensive. It can be hard to justify, but I am glad I got Paradoxal

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 6:20 pm

I’ve been using nail polish to help curve my nail biting habit. It’s worked out great. My nails look so healthy now! People even ask me if I’m wearing acrylics.

I love the mysterious-ness of this color – grays, tans and taupes and definitely in this fall. The purple base is gorgeous and reminds me of a mood ring when I was a child.

Great giveaway, beautiful color, everlasting brand!

Alexia Harris on July 24th, 2010 at 12:44 am

Alexia, it’s great that nail polish has helped with your nail biting! LOL, what an awesome compliment that people think your lovely nails might be fake!

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 6:21 pm

This is such a beautiful color! I know my boyfriend would hate it, but he can just deal

Meg S on July 24th, 2010 at 1:35 pm

Meg, LOL! My husband loves it, but if he didn’t I would say the same thing!

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 6:22 pm

I love the iridescent shimmer that this nail polish has-and it’s the perfect shade of purple! I think this polish would be perfect for all seasons too

Cassie C on July 25th, 2010 at 12:03 am

Cassie, mmmm iridescent shimmer (in the voice of Homer Simpson)…

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 6:23 pm

I ‘m looking forward to the orly cosmix fx collection and the vintage vixen collection from china glaze

amusedPolish on July 25th, 2010 at 2:20 pm

amusedPolish, I am too! Especially Orly Cosmix FX – it looks really interesting in the promo pics!

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 6:24 pm

This color is truly phenomenal! Every time I look at it I see a different color–reminds me of color-change gemstones.

Sahara on July 26th, 2010 at 4:17 am

Sahara,
you are totally speaking my language!

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 3:26 pm

I love this color. I have almost bought it three times, but the price holds me back. I would love to win this bottle of polish!!!!

Andrea on July 26th, 2010 at 3:11 pm

Thanks so much for the giveaway, very generous of you Who can say no to Paradoxal?

Halifax on July 26th, 2010 at 6:25 pm

peripatetic33 on July 26th, 2010 at 7:11 pm

nice giveaway!
coming on to paradoxal the color will look good for my skin tone.

ks sn on July 26th, 2010 at 7:14 pm

I LOVE dark purples! It is so pretty

Raelena on July 26th, 2010 at 7:14 pm

AH! This is one of the Chanel polishes that I have been wanting but am not willing to pay $23 for a bottle of polish. You are AWESOME! It’s funny because I am not a big fan of polishes with shimmer but there is just something about this one that draws me in!

I also follow you via Twitter (@prissy_lala) and tweeted: https://twitter.com/prissy_lala/status/19595868841

Priscilla on July 26th, 2010 at 7:16 pm

I love how it is an everyday yet so posh nail polish!Thanks for the giveaway!

Ria on July 26th, 2010 at 7:34 pm

Super! I think the Chanel’s Paradoxal such a mysterious color. I’d really love to try it. It’d be my first Chanel

Thifa on July 26th, 2010 at 8:52 pm

I love Paradoxal because it’s a mushroomy color, great for fall! I am also looking forward to Ingrid from China Glaze. Please enter me for this giveaway!

May Liao on July 26th, 2010 at 9:58 pm

I looooooove Paradoxal, but I live in Argentina and it’s practically impossible to get it here!

Arwen on July 26th, 2010 at 10:14 pm

Wow, Paradoxal is such a beautiful color, it’s perfect for fall! Reminds me of the night filled with stars~
I wish I could afford Chanel’s polishes! T_T

Grace Wong on July 26th, 2010 at 10:50 pm

Paradoxal really looks lovely and fancy in all its brownish purpleish taupeish glory, and it seems to suit every skin tone! I’m really looking forward to swatches of EVERYTHING that’s coming out for fall. What can I say? I’m such a junkie.

Dani on July 27th, 2010 at 12:22 am

What an awesome prize! I think Paradoxal is gorgeous and multi-dimensional just not sure if I can splurge on it. I just got my China Glaze Vintage Vixen haul in so I’m definitely excited about that!

Freshie on July 27th, 2010 at 2:27 am

Freshie, I love your blog! Looking forward to your Vintage Vixen swatches!

Playing with Polish on July 27th, 2010 at 6:33 pm

Wow, great giveaway! I’d love to try Paradoxal but it’s too expensive for me. I’m excited about wearing Rimmel’s Camouflage this fall, and I have a few different shimmery browns from NYC that I’m saving for fall.

SusieL on July 27th, 2010 at 2:32 am

I’m really excited for Zoya’s Kelly and Edyta, and the SpaRitual fall collection (unfortunately I’ve seen no real swatch pics yet, but I spied at least 3 colors I’d like in the display pics). Also China Glaze Ingrid looks nice, but is not as exciting since we’ve already seen so many taupes like this (minus the shimmer, but it isn’t all that obvious anyway). I love the swatch pics I’ve seen of Paradoxal, but since it’s out of my usual price range I didn’t even go to look at it at a counter – much too tempting! So thank you for hosting this awesome giveaway, and giving us a chance to win it!!

Vedra on July 27th, 2010 at 2:50 am

Ahh! It’s such a beautiful colour, I love love love it!

Jo on July 27th, 2010 at 3:02 am

It looks very pretty on you! I don’t own any chanel polishes since they are so expensive in australia but I would love to try one. I’m most looking forward to the Orly Cosmic FX collection. The polishes look amazing! Please enter me in your very generous giveaway.

I love paradoxal. usually I steer away from purple nail colors but this one is just amazing with its brown tint and its sophisticated and glamorous color! I love it!

Dee on July 27th, 2010 at 4:45 am

April Brooks on July 27th, 2010 at 6:10 pm

Wow, it is my first time seeing those color. Paradoxal. I am a nail polish addict, but i prefer calm and soft shade, especially pastl color. Those color must be perfect with someone woth white or light skin, and you are suitable with it

I think it’s a very pretty color but honestly I’m entering because I have an awesome friend who really wants it and hasn’t been able to get it! )
I tweeted as well

EvilAngel on July 28th, 2010 at 12:29 am

EvilAngel, thanks for the Tweet! It sounds like you are a good friend!

Playing with Polish on July 29th, 2010 at 3:31 am

Oooh I love it. But could never afford it. Its so pretty and there is just no words to describe how pretty it is.

Thank you for this giveaway!! Its so sweet of you.

MissMidnightBlue@gmail.com

I’d tweet about it but i can’t for the life of me find my addy. I do follow though as MsMidnightBlue. I’m still learning. Thanks a bunch.

MissMidnightBlue on July 28th, 2010 at 1:40 am

MissMidnightBlue, thanks for the Twitter follow!

Playing with Polish on July 29th, 2010 at 3:27 am

I love Paradoxal because it’s purple and I love anything that is purple!!! Purple should be my middle name lol
It’s perfect for fall!!

I tweeted as well (macbella2 on twitter)

Mel on July 28th, 2010 at 1:48 am

Mel, thanks for the Tweet! I love purple too! One day I was sitting at my desk thinking that I should change my blog name to “Playing with Purple!”

Playing with Polish on July 29th, 2010 at 3:27 am

I like purples and it won’t give me lobster hands like the Jade or any of the numerous minty colored polishes that have been released recently. I must say I am most looking forward to the China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection, Midnight Mission is the sparkly navy polish of my dreams.

Soledad on July 28th, 2010 at 2:17 am

Oh, great giveaway!

I really want this nail polish because I think it’s a nice color my my relatives would probably give me weird looks for wearing such a “dark color. in their opinion anyway. Hahaha.

Eva on July 28th, 2010 at 3:16 am

Eva, LOL!

Playing with Polish on July 29th, 2010 at 3:26 am

Paradoxal is giving me a nervous breakdown, I want it so bad but I’m afraid it’s too brown!!!

UltraLuxe on July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 pm

It is a complex color for sure. i don’t think it is too brown, but I suppose that depends on your skin tone.

Playing with Polish on July 29th, 2010 at 3:24 am

Oh man, I LOOOOOVE Paradoxal! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win it!

I’m looking forward to wearing Zoya Kelly a lot this fall and also the Orly Cosmix Fx collection when it comes out!

Amber on July 28th, 2010 at 10:33 pm

I am really digging Paradoxal! Loving purples for fall, as well as greens, grays, and “mushroom” taupes. I am so excited for the weather to change so I can start busting out all of these wonderful colors! (Not that I’m not tempted to just wear them now, haha)

I am also following you on Twitter (christinahoh), and retweeted!

Thanks so much!

Christina on July 28th, 2010 at 10:34 pm

Christina, thanks for Tweeting! It seems like the summer is going by so quickly. Fall will be here before we know it!!

Playing with Polish on July 29th, 2010 at 3:24 am

OMG i am OBSESSED with this polish!! its so gorgeous from the pictures i’ve seen and i love how it’s grey but with purple shimmer…but the shimmer isn’t too obvious. its love
