Contest Time: Can you name a dupe for this polish?!

I came across this really nice photo of singer Ciara wearing this gorgeous nail color and it became the perfect excuse for me to host the very first contest giveaway here on polishSWATCHES, as well as maybe add a few polishes to my collection that I may not already have as well as yours.

I love this beautiful burgundy wine colored polish Ciara is wearing here on her nails, but could not find any information whatsoever as to what color it might actually be, so here is where the contest fun begins.  I thought it would be fun for you all to post your best dupes for this polish here in the comments section, me swatch the best possible choices, and the two who come the closest to duping the color wins their color choice from OPI's Hong Kong collection.

I've been dying to hold a contest as well as dying to put some of the colors from the OPI Hong Kong collection into someones hand and this is the perfect opportunity to do so.  So, fellow lacquer lovers and newbie nail polish fanatics alike leave your dupe suggestions or links to your posts with your pictures in the comments section below and lets kick this contest off!

Can't wait to see the entries... Good luck everyone!

Misa Push Upon It would be a good base but you'd need something to layer for that fab almost shimmer... I'll keep thinking! XOXO

OH! You know, that reminds me of this Korean brand of polish called Guppy. It looks like Guppy 64, but Guppy 64 has a denser glitter base. Here's a link to a blog with a swatch: http://polishorperish.blogspot.com/2009/09/guppy-polish-swatches.html

Hey. I've been searching ^^''
http://www.lucyrose.biz/zoya-nail-polish-14ml---anastasia-3262-p.asp
This is the closest. I was searching for something purply-reddish. most of them were either red or purple. Your one or the one ciara's looking for is purply-red and burgandy. Such a beautiful mixture, so hard to find. This nail polish that i've chosen looks like yours I think. it may look a tad darker, but like all nail polishes; when you apply it, it goes a bit lighter. Hope this helps. x

Hello. I agree with Huong above. It looks like either Zoya Anastasia or Zoya Kalista. It's a beautiful color!

Hm.. It looks pretty close to China Glaze Short and Sassy to me. Or possibly China Glaze Skate Night, though I think Skate Night probably is a bit too purpley.

I have a few images of Sephora by OPI's - I'm with Brad & OPI's - Royal Rajah Ruby, these are two that I have, but I don't have that soft blue light/image filter they used on Ciara. The Zoya colors are gorgeous!

I'm going with Rimmel Hard Edged. It's actually a little darker in real life but it looks like the photo had been color corrected and I think Hard Edged would end up looking like this if you turned up the volume a bit.

Hi!

I think China Glaze Stella is a really great dupe!

Out of my collection, I think it looks like China Glaze's Cowgirl Up. Scrangie has a swatch of it here: http://www.scrangie.com/2008/08/china-glaze-fall-2008-rodeo-diva.html

Or Magic Maid's swatches here:

Oh my gosh! This is the most fun I've had in a long, long time! I searched far and wide and came up with several that are similar: OPI's Wine Not Party, OPI's Suzi Loves Sydney, China Glaze X, China Glaze Short and Sassy, Zoya Rihana (funny!!!), Nubar Avant Garde, Elizabeth Arden Kew Garden Wine. The ONE that I really think it is, though is CND's Adrenaline. I found a pic of Scrangie wearing it and I really think this is it!!!
