Zoya and Redbook have teamed up with a set of three new nail colors. A contest is being held to find names for each shade. The companies are asking you to honor a girl or woman you know by submitting her name into the contest. Presumably, you’ll want to choose someone who doesn’t already share her name with a Zoya polish!
Enter here, and good luck!
[EDIT 2015-08-22. BEWARE: I submitted an entry and got automatically subscribed to Redbook Magazine, despite the contest page saying “no purchase necessary”. So I have asked Redbook to cancel the subscription. We’ll see what happens. Not cool, Redbook.]
Have you always dreamed of naming a Zoya Color? This is your big chance to join in on the color naming fun… Zoya Creative Director, Rebecca Isa has created 3 gorgeous new shades for Redbook and the Magaine is running a naming contest for them! As you know, all Zoya colors are after women and we want to celebrate a special woman in YOUR life. Share your name suggestion and inspiration at redbookmag.com/zoyapolishcontest and you could win BIG!
“This is the best contest I’ve ever put on this page, bar none: I’ve teamed up with Zoya nail color, and we’re letting you name the three beyond pretty colors shown here: a creamy cherry red, a metallic plum, and a sheer sparkly gold. The amazing folks at Zoya name their shades after women (love that) and we want to help you honor a remarkable girl or woman you know. Go to redbookmag.com/zoyapolishcontest and tell us whom you’d like to name one of these polishes after and why. We’ll choose three winners; if we pick your submission, our personalized polish will be part of Zoya’s upcoming holiday collections, and you’ll also receive 12 special gift sets of all three colors. You have until September 14 to enter. I can’t wait to hear your ideas!” – Victoria Kirby (Redbook Beauty Director)

What a fun contest! Are you going to submit any names? 🙂

Probably not…Zoya already has one with my mom’s name…and the one I’d want to submit (she has a rather unusual name) would not be too pleased about a nail polish company capitalizing off her unique name. LOL! But I love her, anyway.

Awe that’s so sweet of you to think of your Mom. I was thinking if I were to do it I would try to use my Mom’s name but they probably already have it. 🙂

They have/had: Katy (480 pinky-red?), Kat (224, pinky-purple?), Kate (077, red), and Caitlin (540, grey-purple). Shockingly, no C/Katherine, C/Kathy, or C/Kathleen, that I’m aware of!

Yep, Christine. I did buy their “Christinna” (dunno what’s up with that extra “n”). It’s white and not really my thing. Such a sucker. 😀

I generally don’t have problems with most brands as long as I use a good top coat. I just wore Zoya Cecilia for a week, with Seche Vite on top, and it resisted chips for 6 days! 🙂

I definitely want to submit some names of women I think are very inspiring. I like this concept. I think it’s nice when companies do things like this because even submitting someone is an opportunity to honor someone special to you. 😊 I’m fuzzy tonight!

It is definitely a more inspiring contest than just submitting your name and email 🙂 ❤

Oh my. I was Googling some info about nail polish and this article came up. I was one of the winners and the plummy color was named Marjorie after my mom. I won’t post the whole long story….but she passed away before the winners were announced. I know she would have felt honored. I know I did.

Would love to name the red polish after my dear friend Barbara Parker, she is always so well manicured, but more importantly her hands are constantly helping family, friends, and neighbors. She is truly an angel on earth and has supported and been there for so many people including me she helped me get through a terrible time in my life,
I believe a good name would be Parkers Passion.
