“I would love Charleston Essie if I were chosen to adopt him. He would never be banished to a bin, he would have a nice home with a few other Essie polishes (two actually a lone mother and daughter – so you never know what could happen, sparks could fly and they could live happily ever after.) in a nice drawer. The drawer would be opened daily so he could have fresh air and sunlight, and there are other polishes to play with and be friends with.
I’d also wear him on my nails lovingly so that everyone I came in contact with could pause to admire him for his true beauty that I know is there and see, because you can always see a good heart. And I know Charleston Essie has a remarkable one.”

Hannah

“Poor Charlesteon! I am a lover of Essies, and I have three lovely Essie ladies waiting in my cabinet at home…
Lapis of Luxury is a beautiful blue to complement your mauve-y tone. Turquoise and Caicos is a bold, sporty chic who love pairing with others to make beautiful nail art. Watermelon is a flirty hot pink with all the time in the world to catch up. Smooth Sailing, like you Mr. Charleston, is a shimmer who needs a man to appreciate her beauty. WIll you come to stay with these cute little bachelorettes? I promise there will be no fighting (and if there is you can chill with my mom’s stash, she loves neutrals!).
If my bachelorettes don’t suade you, Mr. Charelston, I am a huge fan of unique shimmers just like yourself. My mom loves neutrals and would appreciate the fact that she can wear your neutral yet powerful handsomeness to work without getting in trouble! Call me Charleston!”

Sabrina Oal

Awh, dear ol’ Charleston! I’m such a sucker for the less fortunate, I’ve actually devoted my life to helping these people (or nail polishes). Not only will I love it with all my heart, spoil it AND never let it leave my fingernail’s sight, I will no longer let it stay in the dark. Gone are Charleston’s pointless days, because each day of his life will now be spent with a woman who truly loves him. After all, he is a rare one, one in a million to be exact. There is no other like him, because men like him can’t simply be bought any more!

Victoria

It makes me so sad to hear a story such as this! Charleston Essie will be loved and appreciated in my home. I love all of my nail polish equally as they are beautiful in their own way! Little Charleston will be no exception! He will be lovingly accepted into my growing family of polishes and he will finally find a purpose in life as he will come together with some other polishes in a team effort to create beautiful nail art! Charleston will finally see the sun and let his true colour and radiant shimmer shine in the sunlight! Clearance or not I would surely purchase you! To answer your question, I am sure any woman like myself would welcome you into their home with open arms because unlike a CND Shellac you have a wonderful humble personality that I greatly admire. There are so many pretty pinks and purples here that would love to meet you and some olives and beiges that you will surely be great friends with! In my home you will never be wasted and you will be appreciated for the unique shimmer you are <3

Meet Charleston Essie: Charleston’s life seemed over before it even started. He spent his life in a box only to find out that his kind had been discontinued and nobody wanted him anymore. Charleston is still dealing with the emotional pain of finding out he is only worth ½ of what he originally was. Now Charleston sits at the bottom a clearance bin sadly waiting out his final days.

Quote: “I spend two years of my life stacked in a dark room, crammed together with thousands of other just like me, hundreds pressing down on my solders at any given time. I’m a shimmer and I had never seen sunlight in my life. Oh and don’t get me started on CND Shellac, I just can’t keep going long, why would- any women want me”- Charleston Essie

Parent Selected: The Orly’s – Hard Times Strike a Family of Four

Adoptapolish.org — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 03:06:22 +0000

THE VOTE IS IN! CONGRATULATIONS Larson C., YOU’RE THE NEW parent FOR The orlys.

NOMINEES

Larson C.

I am a 13 year old polish-obsessor and have always planned on adopting kids when old enough. Since I’m too young to do that, and my polishes are my babies this would be a perfect way to do that. I also have plenty of space for this beautiful polish family in my bathroom. Also I’m a budding nail blogger so I can promise that Space Cadet’s Wife, Hot Pink, will have her swatches all over the internet with her two wonderful children. Plus, I never lend out or loose my nail polishes and treat them all with the ultimate respect.

Jennafroggy

“Dear Orly Family,
I’m so sorry you have fallen on such hard times. I would love to adopt you and let you see what life is really all about.
Mother Orly, my husband will take us dancing often, what girl doesn’t want that? And walks, that’s how I get my exercise daily. As for showing off swatches…I’m on Facebook, Twitter, and write a blog everyone will get to see your beauty. We could even be sure to get some family portraits.
Daughter Orly, I have a daughter just about your age. She could really use your influence in her life. And I’m sure it wouldn’t take long for you to be the best of friends. Then she would proudly introduce you to many more friends.
Baby Orly, you are just so cute. I have a son, too. He would be happy to share his mommy with you. I have so much love and attention it would be no problem to make both of you happy.
Father Orly, don’t you feel left out. I love spending time with my husband and how do i do that? With plenty of outdoors time. There will be hiking, fishing, and so much more. If I get to adopt your family there will never be a lack of happiness in either of our lives and you will no longer have to worry. 3 Free is fine with me, to be honest, vegan would be like punishment.
I know your family would be happy here. You would never feel neglected or unwanted. I have plenty of time and love for all of you. I hope my family sounds as nice to you as yours does to me. Have a wonderful day and hope i get the chance to meet you.
Sincerely,
Jennafroggy”

“I know a family of four is a big load to adopt, but I also know that I can afford to support them everyday because I always take all my babies for a walk interchangeably every other day. In other words, I never leave my house without them because I’d feel naked without them.
Moreover, I always put on beautiful clothes on them with cute yet elegant design. Also, according to my experience, I know that Orly family will never disappoint me. They show really good attitude when I’m dressing them. I show them off in my blog whenever I post my outfit of the day. They can be seen here.
Last but not least, I never let my babies sleep in a dark and unventilated box. I have a special clear acrylic wall rack with lots of empty spaces mounted in my living room, so that all my guests can see their beautiful existence. All my guests will always compliment their colorful and cheerful appearance in my house.

I know that they will be very happy to be adopted by me ”

Pryanka

“I would love to adopt this family of four. The Orly’s would be treated royalty within my collection. They would be the only Orly’s I have owned, and as the first in my collection, they will always have a treasured spot. I would rave about them in my blog. I’m even considering featuring them in my stories, in fact. How cute would a nail polish themed chaptered story be? VERY cute if it featured these four. In fact, allowing me to adopt them ensures that they will be PIONEERS in the storytelling field. The unsung heroes of nail polish colors.

They deserve a home with exclusivity. I have that.

They deserve the utmost luxury. My display shelves, homemade with love and adorned with my own creative photoshopped designs, can provide them that.

They deserve recognition. My blogs and my stories will give them that.

With me, they will have everything!”

Meet the Orly Family: The Orly’s are a family of four family looking for adoption. They fell on hard times when the family that owned them lost their home in the housing bubble and left the (still new) Orly polishes behind.

Space Cadet (Father)
Hot Pink (Mother)
Hot Stuff (Teenage Daughter)
Blue Collar (Baby Boy)

Quote (Father Orly): “When I married my wife I promised her she would go dancing, out for walks, and that so many people who see her swatches on Facebook. I haven’t been able to provide the life I know she and our children deserve. Somebody please help us. Sure, of course we are 3-free, but now everybody is looking for vegan, I’m just not sure what to do”

Parent Selected: Angelina Zoyalie – Look Who Needs Adopting Now!

THE VOTE IS IN! CONGRATULATIONS Marta Warmuz, YOU’RE THE NEW PARENT FOR Angelina.

Nominees

Karlee Ainslie

“Angelina,
You are beautiful – Words alone couldn’t express how my nails feel about you, but hopefully they will suffice – I found a poem I believe describes my love for you – by D. MacKellar

“”A simple spark of deep desire, The gentle gaze that sets the fire.
Often spoken, sometimes meant, Heat of passion, sweetly spent.

Pleasure sought and object lured, Emotions cherished and endured. Forever, or a brief affair, Not forgotten, always there.

Few resist and many fall, Some are wary, not at all.
Found in tears, a smile, a sigh, If unrequited, passes by.

Not for sale at any price, Trust, compassion, sacrifice.
Common bonds of tempered past, Kindred spirits, first and last.

Feelings ever changing flow, Nurtured well, the best will grow.
Is it ever understood? This much we know, love is good.”

Kate

“Dear Angelina,

Some polishes are red.
Some polishes are blue.
I would love to be the one,
To take care of you.

We will go on dates.
Stay out very late.
We’ll find you some friends,
Maybe even a mate.

You’re the perfect brown,
For a night on the town.
I want to lift your spirits,
Whenever you’re down.

I will love you.
To you I’ll be true.
You’d be the star of my blog,
Even if you weren’t new.

Please accept this simple poem as a declaration of how much I would love you and take care of you. There will be new light in your life and you will bring grace and elegance to my tips and toes. We’ll be so happy together.

My heart longs for you Angelina. I hope I have proven myself worthy of your love in return.

Sincerely,
Your hopeful adoptive mom:)”

Dani

“Dear Angelina,
Once upon a time, in a time long long ago, a little girl found her mother’s nail polish collection. There was turquoise and pink and nude and sparkles and shimmers and many many reds. The little girl was entranced by all of the colors and so she decided to open each one, and paint with them. She painted each of her fingers and each of her toes, but unfortunately, there were more nail polishes and she had run out of fingers. Luckily, she had porcelain dolls and barbies and lots of Disney coloring books. Those nail polishes graced the hand each of each doll and Disney princess, before her mother realized and took the polishes away from her. That day, little Angie, Dani fell in love with the idea of nail polishes and started her own collection.
It started small, with little bear shaped bottles of polishes that came off when you scraped, but it grew. Most of her collection now is made up of Essie and OPI and a few Revlon, but she’s not picky. She only cares about the color and she’s never had such a rich chocolate brown to love. And love it would be, because, dear Angelina, she has fallen in love with you. It’s not the lust that you feel for a sequined tight mini dress. This is the forever kind of love. The sort of love that you feel about shoes (because they will never be too small when you gain a few points). The love that you feel about nail polishes. The polishes in her collection all know that while color trends may come and ago, true love lasts a lifetime.
Come home with me, Angelina. Let me shower you will love and attention and even a matte coat sometimes. Let me keep you safe and cold in my home. Realize that I will never let you go.

Always,
Dani”

Marta Warmuz

Angelina! My house is a little crowded (but by nail polish adoption regulations we are still NOT overcrowded). Over 250 bottles share a cozy living quarters (with floors lined with anti slip – thumbs up for safety right- lining). In addition, there are two adults and three little children in the house! The adults loooooove coffee (and you remind the mommy of the house, of a warm cup-a-java … so it IS love at first sight). The little ones are 5, 3, and 1 years old. The five year old is a huuuge Angelina Ballerina fan (the little mouse in a too-too!) so your name will be an ASSET in our home!

Angelina requested she just have the opportunity to make her case directly to you: “They made a lot of me last fall, me and my friends used to hang out all day. One by one, they found new families, got taken out, dinners, dancing, dates. I just sat there, waiting my turn. But my turn did not come. A new group arrived 3 months ago, all sexy and ready for summer. Everybody wants them, I’m old news. I promise I’m still good and unopened. I have years of life left in me (more if I find a cold environment). But I’m not the hot new thing anymore. Nobody wants me, I don’t even know what it is to be loved, to be photographed, to be blogged, my friends are gone, I just don’t know what the point is anymore. Recently, I’ve been considering slipping off the shelf…Maybe it’s my name that has stopped me from being adopted. Everybody else has a pun in their name, how am I supposed to compete with that!”

Parent Selected: Crush on You (Shatter / Fracture) – Genetically Engineered to Have Brittle Bones

Adoptapolish.org — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 18:56:49 +0000

THE VOTE IS IN! CONGRATULATIONS Melody Valasek, YOU’RE THE NEW PARENT for COY, help us pick the best.

Nominees:

Andrea Trenary

“It doesn’t matter to me that Katy Perry didn’t endorse you, I don’t own any of the polishes she did endorse, but I want to have you come live with me.
I will take good care of you, you can sit on the very top shelf with my other crackle loved children, so you’ll have plenty of friends and a great view of the whole living room – where there is a TV and XBox 360 (although you may have to team up with the other crackles to hit all the buttons…), so please come live with me and I will love you.”

Kennedy Dukes

“No baby should ever have to be born into such a hard life… especially one as pretty as COY. I know that I could provide all the care that COY needs and the therapy that she will need for her BBS (Brittle Bones Syndrome). Now a letter to the gorgeous baby:
Crush On You,
Never look down on yourself. You are beautiful inside and out no matter what you have wrong with you. You have a big, bright. beautiful personality so don’t be afraid to show it. I do hope you will come live with me.”

Kayla

“I think I’d have a good home for COY because
1) Nail polish needs a cool home to be taken care of. And my house is cold a lot. That means it’s perfect for COY.
2) I live in the United States, so no long voyage for COY to endure.
3) I keep my polish and polish removers AWAY from each other. They don’t get along so COY wouldn’t have to ever see that big scary monster. Even when I’m taking off an old polish to put on a new one, I get one out at a time.
4) I don’t have much nail polish so COY would find himself in a very roomy home.
5) I’d introduce COY to the rest of my polishes and use COY a bit for nail art until they get used to each other. Until then, I will keep COY near me and watch her to make sure he’s happy and tell her about the rest of the family.
6) Top coats and base coats are mandatory to my nail polish family and they love that! So COY will get the same protection as the rest of the nail polish family.
7) COY will get pictures when I first receive him. I always do that to all my polish family members. i am currently trying to get a blog up so I can post the pictures of my lovely polish family and I’m thinking of putting them on facebook. Also, I’m getting a nail art youtube channel very soon!
8) I’ll avoid Mattifiers for sure. I seen some before and yeah, their cute but I don’t wanna change the looks of my already perfect polishes.
9) I do plan to use! Each nail polish I currently own, I use at least 2-4 a month. I love lots of colors at once. Also, I paint my nails once a week and everyday, I touch up on them so they are perfect so sweet COY will get plenty of use.
10) I’ve never owned one with this name. I really only have Sally Hansen, Wet N’ Wild, and a few others. But none like COY!
11) I’d make sure COY had such a great life with me that he forgets about his terrible past.
12) COY is a cute crackled polish. He has a severe syndrome but all my polishes wish they had it! So COY will instantly be the favorite of the family.
That’s why I think I’m the prefect parent for COY! And one last thing, COY you are a beautiful, gorgeous polish. I really hope I get you because you’ll love being with me. I never let any of my polishes down and they have a very, very happy life. You’ll have a happy life too and I’ll never let you feel unused or let you go homeless. I’ll use you very often and make lots pf pretty nail art designs you get to be a part of. My blog will be up very soon and you’ll get a big part in it. If I get you before it’s finished, you’ll even get the first photo! And if not, don’t worry. I’ll make you be part of the banner!”

Melody Valasek

“I think I am the perfect parent because I can assure you that I will have the best home for Crush on You. I have 172 bottles of nail polish and each and everyone gets the same amount of attention!
I have PLENTY of room for COY in my family and I can assure that COY will feel right at home, because my family gets excited every time I bring home a new nail polish to add to my family.

I have other Crackle and Shatter nail polish so it won’t be the odd one out. I am always trying out new designs and posting them on Facebook and Deviant Art.

I may not have any of that brand, however I have a VERY WIDE variety of nail polish as well as some brands where I only have one in, and they are all extremely welcoming of new nail polish even of new brands, those are their favorites!

I always use a base coat and a top coat when I do my nails so he will feel nice and cozy.

My nail polish and remover are always kept separate from each other, and when I take my nail polish off I always use my remover, put it away and then get out my nail polish so they won’t see each other so COY has nothing to worry about.

Also, I don’t even own any Mattifiers so COY has nothing to worry about with that.

A good portion of good brands aren’t endorsed by famous people! So no need to worry about it! I absolutely love getting new nail polish and always use it right away and make it feel right at home!

He will most defiantly be kept in a nice cold spot so he will last as long as possible. I love nail polish and have read things online and really know how to care for my nail polish properly and I have learned from nail salons so my nail polish is in top notch condition.

I love painting my nails as well as my friends nails and I’m sure not only will I be excited to bring COY, but I’m sure my friends will be excited to meet him as well! They love seeing the new colors I get and are always having me do crazy designs on their nails.

I also LOVE shatter nail polish, so COY has absolutely nothing to worry about! It will have the proper love and care.

I also live in the United States and I live in Northern USA so I’m close to Canada so he won’t have to travel too far. And when he gets home, if he wants to relax first I will assure you that he will be comfy, or if he wants to be used first or anything he wants to do, I will assure you that he will be very happy here with my collection.

I sure hope I could provide a home for this beautiful COY nail polish here. <3″

Meet Crush on You: Crush on You (COY) was recently born and has only been homeless for a few months. COY has seen a hard life as he was genetically engineered to have brittle bones syndrome in order to shatter while on display. He is in desperate need of a parent who can give him the gentle love that he deserves.

Quote: “So what, just because Katy Perry didn’t endorse me means I don;t deserve a good life? I’m sorry, it’s just been a rough year. Please somebody save me before they sell me on eBay.”
