Illamasqua Contest: 2010′s Hottest New Color Is In Your Hands!

Nail Varnish Competition Illamasqua Contest: 2010s Hottest New Color Is In Your Hands!

Good afternoon!

I have a really fun announcement from Illamasqua about a new global nail competition they are holding. Check out the details below!

Whether it’s the standout shade of your favourite killer heels, your must-have cupcake frosting or the glow of the city skyline, Illamasqua want to hear what inspires your soul.

The UK’s hottest and most talked about make-up brand, Illamasqua is famed for its unique and daringly different collection of cult Nail Varnish colours.

And now they want YOU to get creative.

Illamasqua is asking finger fetishists the world over to submit a description of their dream nail varnish colour, for their chance to make it a reality.

Run in conjunction with luxury retailer, Selfridges, this incredible competition is giving nail varnish fans the world over the opportunity to push their imaginative boundaries further than ever before and design their very own perfect shade.

Entrants must explain in no more than 50 words what inspired their unique choice, and provide an image or photograph to illustrate their big idea.

The prize? Two winners will see their dream colour created and sold exclusively at Illamasqua.com and Selfridges in London, Manchester Trafford and Birmingham from October 2010. In addition, they’ll receive a bottle of their winning colour before anybody else!

The winning entries will be selected by a high-profile judging panel consisting of legendary make-up artist Alex Box, nail artist to the stars Sophy Robson and YouTube sensations Pixiwoo.

The rules:

In 50 words or less, submit a description of your dream colour and the thinking behind it – please include pictures to illustrate your inspiration if possible.

Entries must be submitted in one of the following three ways, no later than
14th March 2010:

  • What a fun contest, and I love how it’s global. It’ll be interesting to see what people can come up with. I’m definitely going to enter after I think long and hard about my ‘perfect polish’. How exciting! Thanks for letting us know about this.

  • I don’t even know if I could think of one. Haha, that’s funny how they refer to us as finger fetishists.
