Zoya Designer NYFW 2012 Collection Toni and Natty Haiku Giveaway
Yeay!! The very first giveaway of the relaunch!
The winner of this contest will win two polishes from the Zoya Designer NYFW 2012 Collection, Toni and Natty. I do plan on having swatches of this collection up sometime before the end of the contest.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to write a haiku about Zoya nail polish. It can be anything Zoya related. For example, a favorite Zoya color, product, collection, something you wish they would release or do – if you’ve never tried Zoya it can even be about wanting to try their brand. Anything goes, so long as it’s Zoya related and it meets the definition of a haiku. Here’s a nifty wikipedia article detailing the ins and outs Haiku writing.
To enter, please post your haiku in the comments section of this post along with an email address where I can reach you in case you win.
There’s no limit to the number of haikus that you can submit, so you are permitted to enter more than once. I just ask that you enter one haiku per comment. All entries must be in by Midnight on Sunday, September 16, 2012.
My favorite haiku wins! Keep in mind, I love everything clever, funny or creative. (If by some off-chance someone can craft a deep, meaningful haiku – that will probably win, hahahaha.)
This contest is a little silly, I know – but I hope we can have fun doing it! : ) I look forward to reading your entries!
Thanks to the Verve 360 hair salons in Pittsburgh for providing the prize!
Edit: Sorry, I forgot to mention that this contest is only for the contiguous US. I’m so sorry to everyone in Alaska, Hawaii, and overseas. I’ll make it up to you all somehow.

Zoya ~A devine lacquer, For women who like to enchant her nails
September 6th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
My name is Rachel.
It’s NOT Richelle or Racquel.
Where’s my damn polish?!
September 6th, 2012 at 10:56 pm
Zoya Erin, my
Nail polish namesake, so pale
And, for me, too dull!
September 7th, 2012 at 4:14 am
Slowly the drop falls
The brush spreading the color.
Tao glides, glistens grey.
September 7th, 2012 at 7:08 am
Zoya rules my world.
Especially the “Stacy”
Get it? Its my name!
;)
September 7th, 2012 at 8:29 am
Shimmering Ivanka,
bright beautiful green,
my favorite!
September 7th, 2012 at 9:29 am
Haikus are hard, but
Painting Zoya on my nails
Is not hard at all.
Super fun idea for a giveaway, btw (:

Zoya announcement
The anticipation builds
A new Collection!

Zoya makes the best.

Bottles all lined up
A rainbow of ladies’ names
This is our Zoya
September 7th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Zoya perfection,
Like fire on glistening sand,
Make Isla my fav.
September 7th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Many Zoya names
All of them so feminine
Why not “male” polish?
;)
(for the record, I prefer Zoya names the way they are)
September 7th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
Threw diamonds in grass,
To make my lawn sparkle bright,
And I got “Irene”.
September 7th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Toni was her name
Transgender was the journey
He left her behind
In case this is confusing, it’s about the idea of changing gender and recreating identity… Having to leave one’s “old self” behind and such. And of course it’s supposed to reference Zoya’s female names, specifically “Toni,” because that name has a certain significance for me.
I’m having fun with this! Great contest. :)
September 7th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Move over ladies!
The new girls are in New York:
Toni and Natty.
September 7th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Ten perfect ovals.
I wish there were a nail God.
Her name is Zoya.
September 7th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Who cares if Zoya
By any other name, would
Smell sweet? It’s polish!
September 7th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Zoya, my lover,
I want you forever. Signed,
The Polish Addict.
September 7th, 2012 at 4:14 pm

Two fashion colors.
September 15th, 2012 at 7:51 am

Nails and swatches, YES!

A taupe for all occasions
Seasonless Pasha.
September 16th, 2012 at 6:42 pm
I wish we were allowed to vote for our favorites because the entry where the last line is “refrigerator” is hysterical.
One hour chips galore.
Body chemistry clashes.
Me? Zoya envy.
September 16th, 2012 at 6:50 pm
You guys can tell me which ones you love! I laughed at that one too!
September 16th, 2012 at 7:10 pm
The Refrigerator one reminds me of this tshirt :-) http://www.threadless.com/product/623/Haikus_Are_Easy_But_Sometimes
September 16th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
