So I have another obsession: Nail polish. I’ve kept it off the blog because, well, it’s not usually relevant. Until now… Sort of. See, Revlon has a new shade called Carbonite.
Yes, seriously.
A bit of background: For the past few seasons, Revlon has been releasing ‘dupes’ – shades that are near matches – of the very expensive Chanel polishes. Carbonite resembles Graphite, which retails for $25. I found the Revlon for $3.99. Is it any wonder the dupes fly off the shelves?
But anyway… Since I found the polish for so cheap, I picked up a couple of extras, and I’m going to give them away to you. All you need to do is comment and tell me which Star Wars character you would like to see frozen in carbonite. (Nicely.) Two winners will be picked via a random number draw, and I’ll mail each a bottle of Revlon Carbonite — and maybe another polish or two.
If playing the numbers isn’t your game, or you have deep-grounded moral objections to freezing fictional people in liquid metal, Revlon Carbonite may be on your store shelves now.
Comments will be closed Sunday, August 7, and the winners will be notified on Monday.

I’d like to see Han frozen in carbonite, so I could be there to rescue him and ahem, warm him up.
2 Mandy // Aug 1, 2011 at 11:29 am
I’d pick Chewie, so he could then be safely sent back in time to hang out with me. :)

Borsk Fey’lya.
Do I really need to provide a reason?
4 JennB // Aug 1, 2011 at 11:39 am
Captain Rex or Obi-wan! I mean really, everyone needs a frozen man around…..
5 Sara // Aug 1, 2011 at 11:39 am
A bunch of Ewoks, just because I think it would look funny.

EU character: I’d freeze Callista because… yeah, she’s no Mara.
Movie character: Jabba because I think he’d make an interesting art piece and could double as a slide for my son.

Is it too cliche to say Palpatine? Because seriously, much unpleasantness could have been avoided and all that…
8 Emily // Aug 1, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit it…
I’d freeze Mara, so I could conveniently hide her, steal her identity, and take her place in the universe. You would, too.

I’m gonna say Balok, that bizarre little tranya-drinker….. wait this is for a bottle of carbonite and not corbomite? never mind.
10 Nancy // Aug 1, 2011 at 12:49 pm
Speaking of unpleasantness, I’d freeze Waru. :)
11 Beth // Aug 1, 2011 at 12:53 pm
I’d say Daala. Fitting as she had the Horn kids imprisoned in it. Then again, that idea only works if the control panel on the block, ahem, was defective.
12 Michelle // Aug 1, 2011 at 3:42 pm
I would freeze Ysanne Isard – putting Icehard in carbonite just seems fitting! But I’m make sure the thawing mechanisim had been permanently disabled…
13 Gabri // Aug 1, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Pre-LotF Jacen. Seems an efficient way to avoid all the messiness.
14 Kelly // Aug 1, 2011 at 8:03 pm
I’d freeze Lando.
He kind of deserves it.
Payback’s a bitch.
15 AC // Aug 1, 2011 at 9:24 pm
I’d freeze Anakin Skywalker mid-Revenge of the Sith. Luke & Leia could stay together, proper training would happen…would be interesting.
16 Mandy // Aug 1, 2011 at 9:46 pm
Boba Fett. Forever and ever. Amen.
17 Bry // Aug 1, 2011 at 9:55 pm
I’d freeze Anakin after I threw in some sand with him.
18 Chris // Aug 1, 2011 at 9:58 pm
Really? I’m the first to say Jar-Jar?
19 AJ // Aug 1, 2011 at 10:12 pm
Daala. Maybe then she wouldn’t be so quick to freeze others people.
20 SarahBear1020 // Aug 1, 2011 at 11:35 pm
I agree with Chris. Jar Jar needs to be frozen, and left in long-term storage. I’d be OK if the indicator lights turned off, too.
21 orangerful // Aug 1, 2011 at 11:47 pm
Hm..I’d freeze Sabe…but I’d tell everyone it was Padme, just to mess with them.
22 Erica F // Aug 2, 2011 at 4:30 am
Jar Jar looks awesome in carbonite…and he’s quiet too!
23 Rhie // Aug 2, 2011 at 5:48 am
Jabba the Hutt in Carbonite would be nice if there were enough of it.
24 JediJen // Aug 2, 2011 at 11:33 am
Vader would look pretty sick in carbonite.
25 Christine // Aug 2, 2011 at 2:28 pm
Jar Jar. We don’t ever have to thaw him out, right?
26 Briannakin // Aug 2, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Abeloth. That would fix this whole FOTJ WTKriff mess.
27 Jad Bean // Aug 2, 2011 at 7:38 pm
I’d freeze Ackmena, then break off little bits of her to chill my cocktails.
28 MizzeeOH // Aug 2, 2011 at 7:39 pm
I would go back in time and freeze Mara before Sacrifice so that she wouldn’t die and could just skip the whole Jacen-fiasco. :P
Or, actually, maybe Anakin Solo for the same reason. Either way.
29 Nic // Aug 3, 2011 at 2:16 am
I’d freeze 3PO, but I bet that STILL wouldn’t shut him up…. ;)
30 Christine // Aug 5, 2011 at 1:38 am
Although I think a Stormtrooper or Clone in carbonite would be something the 501st would display proudly, Admiral Ackbar has such sculpture that he would be my choice!
31 jenn // Aug 6, 2011 at 7:07 am
Anakin Skywalker frozen in Carbonite so we would never have to listen to his whining and complaining again. :(
32 Amy // Aug 7, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Jar Jar…for being the most annoying alien in ANY sci fi film.
33 jedifarfy // Aug 7, 2011 at 1:35 pm
So many choices!! I’ll have to pick Jacen, before he goes on his ridiculous 5 year ‘finding himself’ journey post-NJO. It just led to a string of bad characterization and book series that go no where. That should save a bunch of characters too. We can unfreeze him for Tenel Ka, if necessary. ;)
34 Justin // Aug 7, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Tho freezing others would be bad I’d have to say I’d do it for good. Like freezing Chewbacca and then thaw him out after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion so we can still read about him :-))
