GOT Polish? A New Challenge for 2014

Hi Goddesses



Are you ready for a new challenge?  Even better, it's got a retro vibe :)


As I was writing my end of year posts, we were laughing at me, weren't we, and how I hadn't worn hardly ANY of last year's favourite polishes.  This got me sad.  Yesterday's amazeballs polish is tomorrow's brand new untried - I know I certainly forsake reusing gorgeous polishes to keep getting that new-new-new fix.


And so, an idea was born and GOT Polish is where we've ended up.  GOT stands for Golden Oldie Thursdays, and it's just an excuse to wear your older polishes and show them some love.   It's being run through Crumpet's Nail Tarts, so we'll be doing art with them, but if you're nervous of trying art, there are some themes that are just colour based.


Let's show you what the first 12 or so weeks look like, then I'll explain the VERY simple rules -




THE RULES

* the polish you use should be at least one year old
* if you haven't been a polishaholic that long, you can use the oldest polishes you have
* the polish should be previously used, but if you're stuck, you could free a yearling from Mount Untried (seriously, some of mine are reaching puberty out there)
* you can use more than 1 polish as long as it fits the theme and the rules


Simples.  If you want to join, come and join us HERE.   We'll also be running the Tri Polish Challenge throughout 2014 too, and again, you can find out more by joining the group.

 Have YOU GOT Polish?  xx

I would love to join in, but I don't know if I would have a chance to do every single challenge. What happens if I don't have anything for a particular week/challenge?

That's ok Patricia - you can just dip in and out xx
Totally gonna participate!!
My recent post Maybelline Color show in Velvet wine Swatches and Review
This is SUCH a great challenge!! I am amassing a disgustingly obscene collection of polishes I swatch once, admire, content myself knowing I own....but then never use again!!! And this pattern is bringing me shame when polish should only bring me joy! I am not a blogger, just a massive polish fan - can I still join? The days that are marked for specific colors - is there a rule that we can only do a single-color mani on those days, or can we do art that features our chosen color or, say, two or more polishes of the same color family (e.g. pink)...? Sorry for all the questions! Just want to make sure if I undertake this challenge, I do it right. ;)

Hi - basically yes, yes and yes lol xx
Sounds like a great challenge!
I will try to participate in this as much as I can!
My recent post Model City - Bobbing For Apples
Looking forward to this!
i'm all ready to begin! also, i linked this post/ blog to my intro to the challenge on my blog :) i can't wait to grab some of my older polishes and show them off!
My recent post mani monday ~ crawford's wine
Great challenge, I'll be sure to join (at least once in a while). My oldest polishes aren't much older than a year but there's several I can think of that I could and should use. And as the year progresses, my pile of GO's will grow...
My recent post Blogiversary/Blog-Geburtstag (Giveaway & Nail Art Contest)
This looks like a great challenge, I might try to do a few of them. I have a lot of polishes older than a year that are really nice that I've swatched and then never used them again, so this would be a great excuse to dust them off. :)
My recent post My Top 13 Polishes of 2013
LOVE this idea, LOVE the challenge, am totally going to join in! Haven't yet been able to force myself to join Facebook, though; hope that's ok! Maybe this will be the impetus to get me to sign up, but, you know, probably not... Looking forward to having yet another excuse for playing in my stash and to seeing everyone else's old favorites!
I LOVE this! My poor polish babies have been sitting in my helmers ( and all over my closet ) sad and alone since I opened my shop over a year ago :( This is the perfect excuse to get my bum in gear and get back to doing nail art ( oh how I miss it so ) and using my babies again!!!!! I am super excited for this challenge!
