CLOSED: Surprise Giveaway: Win This OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sand 4-Bottle Mini Set

OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sand GiveawaySurprise! 😉

The second I found out that the OPI Mariah Carey Liquid Sand 4-Bottle Mini Set existed, I knew that it would make the perfect giveaway prize!

So I had to buy it to treat one lucky reader! It’s a small token from me to say thank you for your support.

Not only will you get adorable mini bottles, which are highly collectible, but this set includes all of the Liquid Sand colours released so far!

This will be a great way for you to see which one you like the best before you commit to a full-size bottle.

Since reviewing 2 of the Liquid Sands, OPI Get Your Number (my favourite) and OPI Stay the Night, I’ve noticed that a lot of you are intrigued with the unique Liquid Sand finish…and for good reason! I think it’s one of the most original concepts that we’ve seen in the nail industry in quite some time!

Please carefully read the full rules in this post before entering.

Edit: After this post was published, I’ve also reviewed & photographed OPI Can’t Let Go (purple Liquid Sand), OPI The Impossible (red Liquid Sand), and OPI What Wizardry Is This? (taupe Liquid Sand coming out in March).

Another Edit: The lucky winner is Melissa! Congratulations! Since there are multiple Melissas, just to be clear, the winner is the one who left a comment on January 16 at 6:18 am. I’ve sent her an e-mail. She has 48 hours to claim her prize! Thanks to everyone for participating. I’ll be having another giveaway soon. Stay tuned!

Yet Another Edit: Melissa was so fast! She already replied to my e-mail! So now this giveaway is officially closed.

      Very cool! I am pro men wearing nail polish. I don’t understand why some people have a problem. It’s just nail polish, and it’s not like wearing it will cause any harm to society. Nail polish should always be fun, and why shouldn’t men also get to enjoy the wonderful world of colour? 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win. I have a question, what is good for removing cuticles? I have a bad picking problem when I’m stressed. I need something to avoid that problem all together. I have some Salon Effects on my nails now (that need to come off lol) not sure what I will try next, diy design maybe? 🙂

    Reply
    1. Mary Post author

      Hey Amber B.!

      Oh, that’s a good question! You know what? I’ve never used anything to remove cuticles, so I can’t recommend anything. All I do is use a cheap cuticle pusher to gently push them back before I start painting.

      Have you tried using cuticle oil? No, it won’t remove cuticles, but I think that if your cuticles are really healthy and smooth, it might make you less likely to pick at them. (I know that in the winter, I tend to pick my cuticles a lot just because they’re dry.)

    I am very sad to say that I am not wearing anything on my nails at the moment. I broke 2 of my nails the other day and my thumb looks horrible because its down to the skin and scabed. 🙁 I am not a huge fan of Mariah Carey to be honest, but I am a huge fan of OPI and I am so excited to try the liquid sand!

      I haven’t actually seen a movie in the theatre in quite some time. The Dark Knight Rises may have been the most recent one! (I wanted to see Wreck-It Ralph, but I missed my chance and will have to wait for the DVD.)

      This weekend, a friend and I are planning to see a movie. He wants to see Les Miserables, so we’ll probably watch it. (I’m curious to hear Anne Hathaway sing.)

    DONT MIND IF I DO.

    I’ve been really curious about these liquid sand polishes ever since you mentioned and swatched them.

    I recently watched Seven Pounds this weekend with Will Smith. I had seen it once before, but I forgot how amazing the film actually is. It’s quite bittersweet. Have you seen it?

      Hey Lawren!

      You’ll find them really intriguing just because they’re so different. And, haha, if you like the finish of rocks, it’ll be just another reason why you’ll love them.

      No, I haven’t seen Seven Pounds. Bittersweet? That sounds like a movie that’s right up my alley.

      Hey Sparkled Beauty!

      The Liquid Sands actually are quite easy to remove! I was very surprised because they have so much texture. I suspect it’s because the base is a ‘jelly matte’. I didn’t even have to scrub a lot when I used an acetone-based remover. It wasn’t even 100% acetone!

      Glad that you agree with me. I’ve found that more people seem to be in love with Stay the Night (the black-red one), but Get Your Number, to me, is way more special because of the holo glitter and interesting texture (that I’ve found to actually be different than all the others).

    How fun! I’ve never heard of these polishes but would love to try them. Got a link to your site off pintrest, it’s been fun looking around. Right now I have a pink OPI polish on with some handpainted white hearts – I LOVE pretty nails 🙂

    FYI – it doesn’t work very good on a tablet. I browse the web on my 7 and 10 inch tablets during the day (my work is a nazi about internet useage on work computers) and I get so sad when I can’t use a site due to it not working with tablets 🙁

    I’m wearing CG Skyscraper today…one of my poor, neglected untrieds. I remember being so intrigued by it back when I bought it, but now with the Zoya’s Blaze, Storm, and especially Aurora, I gotta say it’s disappointing formula-wise. Kind of goopy and takes some layers to build, unlike the super terrific deliciousness of Zoya Aurora!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win such beautiful polish!

    Right now, I have on Shellac Decadence, which is a really bright magenta. I’ve had it on since just before Christmas, so it’s just about time for it to come off.

    The last movie I saw was Django Unchained, which I loved! Tarantino at his best. Not for everyone, because the violence is waaaayyyyy over the top, but I have always been a fan of his witty dialogue.

    I’ve got a teal jelly sandwich going on, I love it, but I’m already itching to take it off and do something new. 🙂

    Ever since your ‘Get Your Number’ review, I’ve been a little tempted. It looks so beautiful in your pictures. I just wore velvet nails the other day and surprisingly liked the texture, so maybe liquid sand would be nice for me too!

    Thanks for the giveaway, Mary!

    Wow, this is the most comments I’ve seen so far! lol Funny story, Swagbucks has a “search & earn” function that I use to make money by searching for swatches of nail polish. I’d put in a brand and color and just switch out the color name to keep searching. Your blog came up SO many times with such great swatches I finally decided I had to follow. Currently I have China Glaze Senorita Bonita on my fingers and Runts scented Orange on my toes. Good luck everybody!

    What a nice giveaway. =) The last movies I saw were the Dark Knight trilogy, which I hadn’t seen before. I have to say I was disappointed, they were trying so hard to be dark and gritty that I found them rather one-note and…kind of boring. I’m extremely biased, but I think they would have been much improved by the addition of Dick Grayson. As is, I much prefer the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    Wow! What a great opportunity! Thank you so much for offering this give away. I’ve been reading your blog now for about a year. I first found it looking for swatches and I really like your plethora of pictures. I especially like how you review one shade in depth and give your honest opinion.

    I’m currently wearing Nails INC sprinkles collection, the white one. I forget the name because they all have similar names. (OPI names are so cheesy, but I can always remember which is which.) Have you tried Nails INC yet? They are a bit pricey, but they have some really unique colors and finishes like the new leather ones.

    As for movies, the last one I saw was Django Unchained, and I thought it was excellent. I am a huge Tarantino fan.

    Anyway, thanks again for offering this opportunity and especially for your awesome blog!

    This is a great giveaway! Thank You! It’s also a great opportunity for me to tell you about the movie Les Miserables.

    It’s petty good.

    Here are my problems with it. They recorded it live while they were filming. Which kind of works. You get those gritty, raw, in the moment emotions. But they should have recorded the soundtrack. Without the acting the vocals fall short. Also some of the casting. Most of these people were probably chosen because yes they can sing and they can act AND they are names in Hollywood. Actually Russell Crow can not sing. Second apart from Russell I did think all the other males were really good singer but most of them were lacking the rich tenor voices that make the vocals so epic. The one exception being Eddie Redmayne who played Marius. Great voice, hilarious vibrato face.

    All in all if you haven’t see it you should. It’s visually stunning and overall really well done. And I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to cry like a baby by the end.
