Congrats to Connie W. and Vivian!
Both winners replied to my e-mail and claimed their prizes. This giveaway is officially closed.
To everyone else, thank you so much for participating. I have another awesome giveaway lined up, so stay tuned for more details. 😉
*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Recently I got an offer to receive a bunch of free Seche nail products. But I have soooo many bottles of base and top coats already that’ll take years to finish.
Instead of hoarding them in preparation for the Nail Polish Apocalypse (I hope I’m just making that up! *Gulp*), I thought it would be cool if I could give them to you.
Seche PR was on board with the idea! 😀 Woo hoo!
This giveaway’s open to residents of Canada and the U.S.
Ends January 11, 2012 at 11:11 am (Eastern).
What’s Up for Grabs:
Each winner will receive all these:
- Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
- Seche Base Ridge Filling Base Coat
- Seche Clear Crystal Clear Base Coat
- Seche Plus Fortified Strengthener
(If you’re not familiar with the top coat, please click on the above link for the review I did in 2010. To this day, it’s still my Holy Grail top coat, and if you’ve looked at any of my nail-art or nail-swatch posts, the vast majority of the time, I’ve used this top coat!)
Winners: There will be 2 winners chosen from the entire pool of participants.
Who Can Enter: Canadians and U.S. residents
How to Enter: Leave a comment on this post about anything that’s on your mind. It could be about what’s on your nails now, what you’re looking forward to in 2012, etc.
Rules: Only 1 entry per person. (I want to give everyone an equal chance of winning. If you leave more than 1 comment, I will only enter you into the giveaway once.)
How I’ll Choose the Winners & How You’ll Claim Your Prize:
- After the giveaway closes, I’ll use Random.org to randomly choose 2 winners.

- After receiving the reply, I’ll forward your information over to Seche PR, and they’ll mail the prizes to you directly! 🙂
- I’ll announce the winners on this page, in the giveaway-tab post, on Twitter, and on Google+. If I fail to hear back from the winners within 48 hours of my e-mail, I’ll be forced to choose a new winner(s), and I don’t want to do that.

i’ve been wanting to try the ridge filling base coat!
Hey ashley!
Now’s your chance! Best of luck in the draw!
And, congrats on being the very first person to enter this giveaway. You were soooo fast! 😀
Awesomeeee. Unlike others, I’m actually inlove with seche’s crystal base coat rather than their top coat. I find seche vite is too thick for me. I have about 3 bottles of the base coat though, muahaha… I could use another bottle! On a more random note, did you know that china glaze is owned by AII (american international industries) which also owns Seche products! I hope your day was good. Are you going to be posting up any nail art ontop of your pink mani soon?
Hey Vivian!
Have you tried using Seche Restore to thin out your bottle of Seche Vite? It makes the top coat easier to apply. Usually I like to add some thinner when the bottle gets to the halfway mark.
Yes, I knew that AII is behind China Glaze and Seche. 🙂 But I bet a lot of other people didn’t. It would be fun to play a game of nail-polish trivia! 🙂
I took a bunch of photos of the Konadicure over my pink manicure, but I still haven’t weeded through them or edited any. Definitely I’ll try to get them up sooner rather than later.
I think that would be a lot of fun. A trivia contest! Maybe you can facilitate it via twitter! Maybe even some random nail goodies as prizes. I think some of us would get a kick out of it, and reading the answers would be fun. I love reading fun facts about nail polish.
As for the seche vite. I did think about adding thinner.. but I kept thinking about all the toluene. I heard it yellows your nails! I used about 1/3 of my seche vite, and haven’t touched it since. Have you had any yellowing problems with it?
oh oh oh! and another randomness: CHINA GLAZE MAGNETIX WILL BE IN STORES AROUND JAN. 15TH! I have been WAITING for a cheaper alternative to the 0.33oz bottles of Nails Inc, layla..etc for soooo long. Are you excited? I sure am! *giggle fit* Are you gonna buy any? ‘CAUSE I SURE AM! *giggles madly*
btw I’m curious. How long did it take for you to reply back to all 80 of these comments? You have a lot of patience. I tip my hat to you.
I think it took a couple of hours, but I was doing some other stuff at the same time. Lots of multitasking. 🙂
Maybe I’ll do one sometime. 🙂 We’ll see!
Hmm…I’m not sure if it has made my nails yellow. A lot of times my nails get stained because of a super pigmented polish. But, it’s possible. (I’m pretty much always wearing nail polish, so stained or yellow nails doesn’t bother me as much as someone who sports bare nails.)
Ohhh, YAY! I haven’t heard about the Magnetix collection yet, but that’s awesome. Hope that China Glaze keeps the price point reasonable. Then I may actually want to try magnetic polish! EXCITING! Thanks for letting me know. *Has a giggle fit with you*
Cool giveaway! I’m running low on my Seche Vite too coat.
Hey LolaAM!
Then this is perfect timing. 🙂
Love your blog and this is a fantastic giveaway! Thank you for hosting 🙂

I’m pleased that you enjoy Swatch And Learn so much. 🙂 And you’re very welcome. I love passing on wonderful products like this to my readers!
I’m watching TMZ waiting for Chelsea Lately to come on… educational tv all the way. On another note I have a China Glaze Sea Spray on my pointer finger. Yup, just one!
Bailey recently posted: December Julep Maven
Hey Bailey!
I like watching Chelsea Lately sometimes, too. She’s so different than a lot of other people on late-night talk shows. For one, she’s a woman, and I really respect how she’s paving the way. Haha, and she always makes me laugh when she says something crude.
I’m looking forward to growing out long and healthy nails in 2012. I’ve developed the habit of biting my nails and realize that its type to stop. This set would certainly push me in the right direction !
Yvette recently posted: new cause, new year.
Hey Yvette!
Haha, for some reason, I read what you wrote verrrry wrong. I thought for a second that you said, “I’m looking forward to growing out a long and healthy BEARD in 2012.” Geez! 😛 That would CERTAINLY make you stand apart from everyone else, but probably not in a way you’d like. 😛
Good for you for trying to stop your habit of biting your nails. You know, I used to bite my nails all the time when I was in elementary school. Whenever I tell people this, they’re always surprised because they’ve never seen me bite my nails for years. I stopped because one day, I looked down, and all my cuticles looked nasty and the edges of my nails were ragged. Although it took over a week, I was able to nix the nail biting on sole will-power. So….I have the utmost faith in you to nix the habit, too. If you really want to do it, you will! 😀
I’ve been browsing all my favorite beauty blogs and feeling sorry for myself. I’ve misplaced my camera and I am unable to take photos for my own blog. Shucks. I miss blogging and I have so many new things to share! LOL. I’ve been getting by because I had some photos on my computer that just needed to be edited and blogged about. I’m running out of reserves! Thanks for the giveaway. Good luck to all who enter!
Lisa Martinez recently posted: INFLUENSTER: Garden Botanika Lash Primer
Hey Lisa!
Aww…sorry that you misplaced your camera! Hope you find it soon and that you didn’t leave it somewhere in public where there are so many ‘sticky hands’.
That was smart of you to keep a bunch of photos on your computer for situations like this.
Hope your camera turns up soon!
I love Seche Vite topcoat and have been thinking about trying their strengthener. Right noe i have Milani HD in Hi Res on my nails. I had to cut them all off short today so needed something really pretty to take away from the annoyance at losing them.
Jennafroggy recently posted: 100 Things (tag) Part 6 of 10…without pictures.
Hey Jennafroggy!
I’ve never used any nail strengthener before, so I’m curious about it. Hopefully the 2 people who win this giveaway will let me know how well it works.
Short nails look great, too! 🙂 Sometimes even more chic than long nails, actually. And Milani HD in Hi Res was an awesome choice!
Oooh yes I haven’t tried anything but the top coat before but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it so it would be cool try the rest of their stuff. Right now I’m trying to figure out what colour I should paint my nails now that I’m finally back home after two weeks…. so hard to decide!
lulu recently posted: Hephaestus & Aphrodite
Hey lulu!
You could have an entire Seche nail system right here! Good luck in the draw! 🙂
Hehe, I know the feeling – so many polishes, so hard to decide. 😉 But it’s a good position to be in!
What a great giveaway!
I’m currently excited for all the new spring collections coming up (China Glaze, Zoya etc) and recently acquired the Fingerpaints SPecial Effects Collection (so pretty!)
Christine recently posted: LUSH BOGO Haul…And Why I Probably Won’t Order Online Again
Hey Christine!
Lucky you! That Fingerpaints collection is gorgeous! You can’t get sick of flakies ever. 🙂
This is an awesome giveaway. Can you believe some people don’t even know about Seche Vite?! I bought my mom, my soon to be sister in law and myself new bottles for Christmas. It’s definitely the HG of top coats. For 2012… as far as nail polish goes… I’m looking forward to new collections and although I haven’t put my FP Special Effects up on my blog yet and they’re very pretty, I’m already kinda over flakies. :-/ What are YOU looking forward to for 2012? Thanks for this awesome giveaway! I hope it’s me! 🙂
Nicole recently posted: Greatness Is What We On the Brink Of: Metallic for Life Review
Hey Nicole!
No, it’s crazy how some people don’t know about the Holy Grail top coat! It seriously changed (i.e. improved) my nail-polish routine! I never get sheet marks, and I don’t have to wait forever for polishes to dry.
*Gasp* You’re over flakies? I could never get sick of them!
So far, I’m looking forward to the China Glaze Colors from the Capitol Collection. I haven’t read The Hunger Games books, but the colours alone are making me drool. And, of course, I want to see what OPI has in store for 2012.
i just don’t want flakies to become the new (ie:instantly old) shatters. They are SO pretty tho! And yes!! I’m hyped about the hunger games polishes too. I know I’m gonna need them all… 😉
Nicole recently posted: Rihanna “We Found Love” Inspired Nails
Yeah, sometimes when a trend is everywhere, it gets annoying because everyone’s wearing the same thing. I can understand that. But I got tired of the crackle polishes early on. I think it’ll take a longer time for me to get sick of flakies. (Hope so!)
Oh and PS: I’ll post a link to this giveaway on my blog. 🙂
Nicole recently posted: Greatness Is What We On the Brink Of: Metallic for Life Review
Hey again, Nicole!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you helping me to spread the word. 🙂
Awesome giveaway! I am currently wearing China Glaze Lubu Heels with some Pure Ice Silver Glitter and Milani Jewel FX in Silver on my tips 😀
Kassie recently posted: Lime Crime and Makeupbee Collaboration part 1
Hey Kassie!
Great combo! I wore Lubu Heels once and loved it – so vampy with that secret shimmer.
Great giveaway! I LOVE SV and I tell people about it all the time.
Hey Pam!
It certainly lives up to all the hype!
I have not tried these products but would love to. I have been giving my nails a break because they were getting brittle. No polish until the 10th – my hands feel naked!
Jonnie (JB) recently posted: Christmas Gifts in Review
Hey Jonnie!
Hang in there – just a few more days to go!
gasp! You’re hosting a giveaway. I’d love for a chance to try Seche Vite products, and review them and see for myself how good or bad they are compared to my OPI Base/Top Coats.
As for what’s on my mind…well I just now read a comment saying that China Glaze and Seche Vite are owned by the same company so that’s really really cool (But now I wanna complain about seeing SV at my pharmacies, and never seeing CG). But really, before I ramble too long, thanks for hosting the giveaway, and good luck to everybody! Not sure how you’d get my e-mail, so here it is – blishful@gmail.com. Thanks!
Pryanka recently posted: Sally Hansen Nail Prisms – Swatch and Review
Hey Pryanka!
You’re lucky that you even see Seche at your pharmacy! Here in Canada, I’ve only really seen Seche at beauty-supply stores. Same goes for China Glaze…except China Glaze is sometimes even trickier to find in physical stores.
Love the blog, love the giveaway! 🙂

Are you from outer space? Please tell the martians that I really dig how they’re green. 😉
My dear friend gave me Zoya Charla and that’s what’s on my nails now 🙂 I love this color. Also, I’m in the process of swatching all my nail polish on wheels so I can put them on my new nail rack! My boyfriend is so awesome!
Hey Juliana!
Your friend is so sweet – Charla is a kick-ass colour! I don’t have it, but I have the dupes for it. Gorgeous – that’s a hue I could never get sick of.
I have on La Colors Cotton Candy with Sally Sheer Vanilla french tips.. something soft and girly been wearing too many dark colors lately.
Hey Serissa!
Same here – it’s nice to wear bright colours even in the winter. They really perk up your spirits! 🙂
Yay! Something thats on my mind: breakfast. Me hungry 😀
Hey Em!
Hehe, your stomach entered my giveaway! 😉
This is awesome Mary!! Seche Vite Fast Dry is my go to top coat as well. I’d love to try other products. Thanks for thinking of us ;0).
Marisa recently posted: Beauty UK – Golden Chestnut
Hey Marisa!
Of course! 🙂 It’s fun to pass along good things to good people!
Super COOL give away !! thanks 😉 I really wanna try Seche products it was gonna be the next fast dry top coat I bought after the Orly “In a Snap” bottle I am using right now:) oh and I have a baby pink with a clear fine glitter on top of it its subtle and I like it- I do one week subtle next week bold:)
Hey Debbie!
I’ve never heard much about Orly In a Snap. Wonder if it’s any good. Orly doesn’t get as many rave reviews in general like they deserve. They have so many brilliant colours, and the formulas are usually spot-on.
Thank you for the giveaway, I am new to the naill polish world, and need some great products to start building my stockpile:)
Hey Jennifer!
Welcome to the wonderful world of nail-polish addiction! 😛 Err…I mean love! 😉
This is a very nice giveaway. To be honest I’ve only tried Seche Vite from Seche Brand but I would love to try the others products they have.
Carolina recently posted: Speciallitá Hits No Olimpo – Deméter
Hey Carolina!
Good luck in this draw! 😀 Hope you’ll get to try out a few.
Hi! I’ve always wanted the seche vite polishes for their quick drying time. I currently have on my nails OPI’s Dating A Royal underneath Deborah Lippmann’s Across the Universe. I was going to use Swimsuit… Nailed it but I didn’t want my nails to get stained 🙁
Hey Linda!
YAY – nice layering combination! And…Across the Universe is a spectacular polish….SO BEAUTIFUL!
Oh, I found that if I double up with a good base coat underneath Swimsuit…Nailed It!, the staining isn’t bad. Then again, I wear polish every day, so I can understand if some people would want to avoid that colour if they have to expose their bare (stained) nails!
If you try out the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, it will seriously change your nail-polish life. No more waiting forever for your nails to dry, and no sheet marks.
OOH, thanks Mary! I love Seche products and would love to try the whole line 😀
Hey Sarah!
No problem! It’s fun being able to share my love for Seche with you all! Best of luck! 🙂
I’m new to the polish world and keep seeing this brand mentioned a lot. Apparently it’s pretty awesome! =) I just bought 7 polishes on sale at CVS yesterday (75% off! but they looked good and are super cute colors!) and I was so excited! Thanks to my family fulfilling the polishes on my Christmas list, I’m well on my way to a good collection! =)=)
Hey Amber!
Yes, their top coat lives up to all the hype. The first time I used it, I was blown away because I could actually paint my nails at night (as usual) and then go to bed shortly after without waking up to indentations on my manicure. It doesn’t just dry your nails to the touch – it dries it rock hard reallllly fast.
Nice polish haul! 75% off is an insane deal – lucky you to have scooped it up!
Sweet of you to give them away instead of keeping them for yourself, thanks for a chance
Hey Halifax!
You’re very welcome! I love sharing products and brands that I truly believe in. 🙂
My NYE mani is on day 5/6 now. This is a record for me!! I chalk it up to finally jumping on the SV bandwagon and getting the top coat.
Hey Nicole!
Yay for your record! 🙂 The top coat is great – really prolongs manicure. Glad that it’s working out well for you.
Thank you so much for the giveaway! That is very generous of you!
Hey Andrea!
You’re welcome! But it’s more the generosity of Seche for providing such awesome products! 🙂 (I’m really glad that they agreed to give it to my readers instead. It’s better to give something good away than to just let it collect dust in my drawer and hoard it. Hehe, I hoard enough nail polish as it is. *Blush*)
I have to agree til this day Seche Vite is still my most beloved top coat. I don’t know how I ever survived all those years ago before I discovered this, it truly makes nail polishing a breeze. God know I’ve got zero patience, and waking up with sheet marks just pisses me off. Seche how I love thee
Hey Michelle!
Same here – it’s hard to imagine all those times when I would wait and wait and wait for my nails to dry, go to bed, and wake up with a manicure with indents all over.
Hehe, I have patience, but when it comes to waiting for my nails to dry, that’s a bit iffy. 😉
I haven’t tried any of the Seche Vite products, but would love to. They are on my list.
Hey Lillybet!
Well, good luck in the draw. Hope you’ll be able to try them all for free. 🙂
Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway! You’re AWESOME! I love your blog! i may not post often, but i read every day 🙂
HUGS,
Beth
Hey Beth!
You’re very welcome. Seche is even awesomer! (Hehe, I know that’s not a real word.) And it’s so much fun to share products that I love and believe in.
Thank you for your kind words about me and my blog! 🙂 Makes me feel really good that you read every day! 😀 Thanks for your support!
Love the SV topcoat but have yet to try their basecoat or nail strengthener. These would be great to win!
Just purchased the set of Finger Paints “Special Effects” and am looking forward to experimenting with them.
Keep up the good work with your blog. I look forward to each of your entries.
Hey Aylene!
Those flakie polishes had me drooling from the second I first saw even the bottles! Lucky you – have fun layering with them! 🙂
oooh, would love to participate in this.
currently on my nails I have China Glaze’s Snow Globe over Essie’s Mint Candy Apple :3
Hey Lawren!
What a sweet combination! 🙂
I always want to spend my nailpolish money on shiney/sparkly/brightly colored nonsense, so I rarely actually have base/top coat in stash.
Jen recently posted: Maroon and Lime Zig Zag Recycled Rag Rug
Hey Jen!
Hehe, I love how you have nail-polish money set aside and that you budgeted it in! 😀
I would love to be entered in this giveaway. Actually right now my nails are ( bare naked) I thought they could use a little breathing room. All the darks and glitters and everything in between It’s funny , I forgot what nice clear nails actually look like. A little stained but still nice. I do feel very odd going out without anything on my nails , I keep thinking I’m forgetting to do something. I’m sure this won’t last much longer, the colors are calling!!! Kelly
Hey Kelly!
It IS a strange feeling going out with naked nails, but it’s good to give them a break, I suppose. But I know what you mean about going out with naked nails and thinking that you forgot to do something.
Another giveaway? Mary, you’re on a roll! 😀 Yay for starting the new year with a generous heart! Thank you!
I’ve actually never tried Seche Vite before. I keep picking it up at Sally Beauty and then remembering I still have a gajillion top coats at home so I put it back. I’m really curious to see how this stacks up to my much beloved Nubar Diamont top coat!
Carmela recently posted: Indulgent Intermission: The Nail Polish Tag
Hey Carmela!
Yup – I’m on a cinnamon roll right now. It’s a bit sticky and spicy here. 😛
*Gasp* Never tried Seche Vite? You MUST try it – it changes everything. Nubar Diamont is great (their original formula), but when they changed it, it got really watery and didn’t dry as quickly. Then they switched it back to the first formula, but some people are selling the old formula, and it’s hard for me to tell which is which. Seche has remained consistent, so I trust them.
This is my first time posting a comment. And I must say I love your swatches. Thank you for posting daily. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Hey Lissette!
Thank you for leaving your very first comment! 😀 Hope you’ll feel the urge to do so again. I really love interacting with my readers and getting to know you all better. It makes blogging way more fun.
I’m glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying my swatches and my daily posts. 😀 Thanks for your encouragement!
Something that’s on my mind: wondering why my nails don’t like to cooperate with me in the winter …. maybe the Seche Plus Fortified Strengthener will help!
Love your blog, great give-away!
Hey Jayne!
Maybe it will! 🙂 Also, maybe you can try using cuticle oil or cuticle cream on at night. Nails love some moisture because if they’re too dry (especially during the winter), they can get brittle.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try that tonight!
You’re welcome. 🙂 Hope it works out well for you!
Hi!
Thanks for this great giveaway 🙂
I’m actually wearing Misa Pink and Julep Trina on my nails 🙂 I tried my bundle monster plates yesterday and iM very happy with the results 🙂
PtiteMeve recently posted: 100 followers Giveaway!
Hey PtiteMeve!
YAY for nail stamping – it’s so much fun! 😀 And Bundle Monster has some really unique designs to choose from.
Thanks for another great giveaway! I use both the Dry Fast Top Coat and the Crystal Clear Base Coat for all my manicures. I wouldn’t be into nail polish if it weren’t for Seche Vite–mainly because before I discovered that wonderful stuff, the dry time of nail polish would drive me crazy.
Hey Jessica!
Hahaha, I know what you mean. Seche’s top coat dries things so quickly, so it makes polishing your nails a breeze instead of a test of patience!
My thought right now is about soda. *Mouth waters* One of my resolutions was to not drink soda, but there’s a soda machine in the office lobby that I’m in right now…. Didn’t realize how hard it’d be. 😛
Happy New Years! Thanks for the giveaway, even if I don’t win! 😉
Hey Ariel!
Hang in there – you can resist the temptation! 🙂
Happy New Years to you, too! Hope 2012 brings you much happiness and laughter.
Seche Vite changed my nail polish life forever! I use to never paint my fingers, because I have ZERO patience for the drying time… So I would, inevitable, screw up my manicure… Then I would be super pissed! Haha…
I tell everyone I can about it… seriously, they should send me free bottles I’ve sold so many for them. Heck, I just informed my neighbor last night in a drive-way chat and she is going to Sally’s Beauty to get it today!
I have naked nails right now. It’s horrible lol. I didnt have time last night to do them (and my old polish had to be taken off, ick), and I barely have time tonight (tomorrow is my Mama’s bday, so Im making Boston Cream Cupcakes tonight to take to her bar for the celebration!)… But they will get done! Somehow between baking, filling and frosting, they will get done. Even if I have to stay up until Midnight! No time for anything special though, just OPI “Diva of Geneva” on my fingers and Nicole by OPI “You + Blue” for my toes. No fancy art, but at least I wont be naked! :p
Hope you have a wonderful New Year. Thanks for the opportunity to win so many AMAZING products!
Hey Kelly!
Yeah, it’s really annoying to spend time painting your nails and then screw it up at the end. Seche Vite is a lifesaver!
Hehe, and they should send you free bottles. If you win this giveaway, they will! 😉
Happy early birthday to your mom, by the way. Oh my…your Boston Cream Cupcakes sound yummy!
Happy New Year to you, too! 😀
Yay! I’m so excited! This is my first time entering a blog contest. During the fall, I started really liking nail polish and now I have 40 regular size bottles, 7 mini bottles, 7 Sally Hansen nail sticker strip thingies, one bottle of nail polish drying drops, 7 more nail polish bottles coming in the mail, another bottle of polish drying drops coming in the mail, two small three-drawer organizers for all this stuff that no longer fits in my original mani-pedi supply bag, and I have learned how to use Google Reader to keep up with the nail polish blogs I am now addicted to. I discovered Seche Vite tc through blogs like yours, and I LOVE it! And, I love your blog. Thank you for all your hard work!
Hey Olga!
Every time I hear about someone entering a blog contest for the first time, I get so excited because the very first time I entered one, I won!
Good luck in the draw! 🙂 There will be 2 winners, so the chances are higher that your name will be chosen.
Thank you, Mary! It’s exciting just entering the contest, but it would be even more exciting to win!
No problem, Olga! 🙂
I found seche vite by searching for ‘best top coat’ online and sech vite was the winner hands down! Love it! I would be excited to try the rest of their line for free!
Hey Amy!
Makes sense that you found them by searching for those keywords. I agree – Seche Vite is the best top coat!
Yay, this is super exciting — Seche Vite is the best! And I also like the Ridge Filling base coat, but I’m running out…
Hmmm I’m currently wearing NOPI It’s All About the Glam, which I’m really enjoying after all those crazy glitters I was wearing throughout December. It’s also the only colour from the Kardashian collection that I was able to get my hands on — for some reason Shoppers stores in Ottawa seemed to have trouble stocking it! So yes, I’m enjoying the softness of this shade, but I’m thinking I might layer OPI Save Me on top later today. Back to crazy glitters, I guess!
Hey triceratops!
Oh, so this comes at a very good time for you. Good luck in the draw! If you win, you can save a bit! 🙂
Strange how that’s the only colour from the collection you could get. Maybe it just sold out really quickly – I know that different locations got them in at different times.
YES, layer Save Me over it. Oh…I want that polish so badly – still haven’t got my hands on it.
What a wonderful giveaway!! 😀

Hey Ashesela!

I love love love love the Dry Fast Top Coat…it has absolutely changed my life!! I would love to try other Seche products!
Thanks for an awesome giveaway and happy new year!!
Hey Clare!
Happy New Year to you, and good luck in this giveaway!
Today I have Finger Paints Twisted layered over China Glaze Concrete Catwalk…I’m not a lucky owner of Clairvoyant/ Unicorn Puke…but I can’t help thinking my mani looks very similar to it right now!
P.S. I’ve only used Seche base coat and I love it. If I dont win I’m planning on getting the top coat once my Essie good to go is used up.
Frosso recently posted: Finger Paints Twisted
Hey Frosso!
That combination sounds great! 😀 Very cool how you did some layering that looks similar to Unicorn Puke!
Thanks for this great giveaway! Like Vivian posted, I also think Seche Vite is a bit thick, but since it works, I use it any way. My bottle’s almost empty… hint hint! Anyway, thanks for keeping us updated on nail polishes with your great swatches. =)
Tonya Kaushik recently posted: Day 9: Rainbow – Nyan Cat!
Hey Tonya!
You could try thinning it with Seche Restore. I do it all the time when it gets to the middle, and then it becomes almost watery and super easy to apply.
Good luck in the draw! 😀
Yay! This is an awesome giveaway. My friend introduced me to Seche when I was but a mere nail polish fledgling and its been the only base and top coat I’ve used ever since. Right now, I’m wearing Revlon’s “No Shrinking Violet” topped with Cult Nail’s “Clairvoyant” (which I have you to thank for introducing into my life :D) and Sally Hansen’s “In The Spotlight”. Probably not a mani for everyone but I think it looks like a mini party on my hands! 😀
Hey Raychul!
Very beautiful combination. 🙂 I’m glad that I could introduce you to one of the most incredible polishes ever made! There should be more beauties like it.
My current nail polish obsession is Cult Nails. They can do no wrong. I just purchased Power Thief, Living Waters and Iconic. Power Thief is the most beautiful hot cocoa color. No matter how great the color, no manicure is complete without a base and top coat. I’ve been wanting to try Seche Vite because it’s regarded as the best out there. I’ve tried a few by OPI, Essie and Sally Hansen, but haven’t landed on the one that gives me the lovely shine and anti-chip I’m craving. Could Seche Vite be the one?!
Hey Mary Pat!
Maria is a nail-polish genius for coming up with so many striking colours! 🙂 I want to get Living Waters. Everyone says it’s better on the nail than in any photos, so I’m curious.
Yes, Seche Vite IS the one. If you win this draw or try it on your own, you’ll be sold on it. It truly does live up to the hype.
Thank you for this giveaway! I hope I win!!! I love Seche Vite products!

Hey Jennifer!
I hope you win, too! Good luck in the draw! 😀
This is awesome! I’ve been after this stuff for quite some time. Anyway, I’m currently wearing OPI Ink on my nails and a shimmery purple opi on my toes. No clue what the name of it is but I’ll figure it out! Good luck to everyone!
Hey Katrina!
Oooohhh…OPI Ink is so gorgeous. I remember the first time I wore it – it really does look like ink!
Right now I have not like the movies from katy perry and OPI. I love it! Its so cool because it goes from a green to grey to purple!
Hey Brianna!
You know, I found a bunch of photos I took while I wore that nail polish as a Konadicure. Thanks for reminding me that I need to post it soon!
I have never tried this brand but would love some good quality top and base coat products!
Hey Amy M!
I haven’t tried all of these Seche products, but I can totally vouch for the top coat – the best I’ve ever tried!
Great idea for the giveaway!!! I LOVE their top coat and ridge filler.
Hey Candace!
Glad you like it! 🙂 Seche was very generous.
I LOVE Seche products! I’m wearing OPI Reflecting Pool right now and it’s been on my tips for 4 days without chips or tip wear with Seche base and top coats!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway and Happy 2012!!!
Hey Katy M!
That’s fantastic! So glad to hear that they’ve been working out for you!
Happy New Year to you, too! 😀
I just started using Seche this past fall & it has changed.my.life. 😉 Never will I be able to use another top coat… EVER. Love it!!!!
Hey Athena!
I know, right? Once you use the best fast-drying top coat, you just can’t go back to the ones that make you wait forever!
You are awesome! I love seche! I would love to try the strengthener!

Hehe, thanks! *Blush* Best of luck in the draw! 😀
I’m a new follower, also a recovering nail biter! Sometimes its really hard to not got back to my nail biting ways, but when I read blogs like this, it gets me excited for the next time I paint my nails and reminds me to NOT bite them so I have pretty hands 🙂 I dont know how you can wear your nails so long though!
Hey Sarah!
Welcome to Swatch And Learn! Thanks for following me – hope that you’ll join in on the fun and feel free to comment and interact. 🙂
Actually, I don’t know, either. I’ll go through phases where I’ll grow my nails out so long (until the point where I find them annoying when I type). Then I’ll trim them down to little nubs and repeat the whole process again. Long nails are nice, but not all the time. I long for short nails sometimes, too…so I like to experience all the different lengths instead of just maintaining one length.
I’m glad that you’re resisting the urge to bite your nails. Nail polish definitely will help motivate you! 🙂
I would love to try this! I’m currently looking for a new top coat, since the one I’m using just isn’t working so well anymore 🙁
Hey Kristine!
Well, good luck in this draw! 🙂 Hope that random.org picks your name and then you can try something new and superior!
Ooh, Seche Vite! I’ve read so many conflicting reviews on the top coat – you either love it or hate it. I’ve never used it before, because my biggest nail peeve is top cost shrinkage and that seems to be the number one complaint! And because it’s so expensive in our great nation, that kind of adds to my reservations. I’d still love to give it a try one day!
I have on Nicole by OPI – Snow-Man Of My Dreams. It’s 4 days strong and still perfect – really unusual for me with a glitter!
Hey Cristina!
I know far more people who love it than hate it. 🙂
To avoid shrinkage with this, I actually let my polish dry slightly before applying Seche Vite. Also, I always paint the free edge of my nails. I’ve found that a lot of times, this prevents most shrinkage.
Oohhh…Nicole by OPI Snow-Man of my Dreams is such a gorgeous glitter polish! You’re lucky to have gotten hold of it, as it was a limited-edition holiday colour. 🙂
I absolutely love everything about nail polish and I use Seche as my go to top coat too! I love all of your posts since I actually get to see the colors of the nail polish and your quirky comments. I would love to win which would be an added plus since my birthday is this Sunday! However I feel like I’m in a dilemma right now trying to decide between two Kardashian Kolors ( Kendall on the Katwalk and Khloe had a little Lam Lam) to paint my nails for the weekend since they both look AMAZING on your post!
Hey Melissa!
First of all, HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY to you, Melissa! 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends.
Glad that you enjoy visiting my blog – I enjoy interacting with my readers. It really makes blogging more rewarding.
Hmm…if I had to choose between those two polishes for your birthday nails, I’d say to go with Kendall on the Katwalk because the glitter has more of a celebratory feel to it. It’s a lively colour that’s happy and that screams “PARTY!” to me. 🙂 But even if you choose Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, it’s a gorgeous, edgy shade. Have fun! 🙂
I never win but I will throw my hat in the ring. free goodies would def help, haven’t been working much so I have totally had to limit my spending.

Oooo Seche! What a great giveaway! I use it all the time- especially because I like to add some fun nail art! Currently I have bright cotton candy nails with black tiger stripes and a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust! So fun!
Hey Amanda S.!
Your manicure sounds so playful – I love it! If you have a photo of it, I’d love to see!
Hi Mary, Excited to enter the drawing! I’m beginning to develop a serious nail polish addiction but haven’t yet tried SV products. I just bought my first house and looking forward to moving all my nail polish and goodies in! Thanks for the great entries and posts 🙂
Hey Vanessa!
Congratulations on buying your first house! 🙂 That’s a huge step, and I hope that you’ll settle in nicely.
Just painted my nails, waiting for them to dry and having nail polish envy in the process by reading your blog!
Hey Jenny!
Hehe, I think everyone (myself included) has nail-polish envy! There are just so many incredible shades out there. Isn’t it crazy how they’re able to keep coming up with new shades and finishes to suck us in? 😛
As a kid, I bit my nails. Ugh. All those wasted years! I now have a horrible nail polish addiction. Nail polish is my porn! But so are yarn and shoes!
Thanks for opening the giveaway to the US too!
Hey KnitMaster!
Hehe, I guess I could just call you Janet like we discussed before, but I think it’s fun to call you KnitMaster instead? 😉
Same here! I used to bite my nails like something fierce back in elementary school and even through part of high school. Definitely glad that we nixed that bad habit – it’s pretty unhealthy, too.
OMG could you even imagine a polish apocalypse?!?! Scary! I’m wearing Revlon Grape right now (a gorgeous deep purple!) with Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat!:) (just got my first bottle a couple weeks ago! Love!:)
Kristen recently posted: Hard Candy Lash Ink: 4-day Stain
Hey Kristen!
No, I can’t imagine a nail-polish apocalypse! Hahaha…I can just see all us addicts getting riled up. (I was wondering when someone was going to comment about that!)
Revlon Grape IS really pretty! I keep picking it up in the store and putting it back. The only reason I put it back is because I have lots of untried purples already, and I’m trying to save a little more this year.
Glad you’re loving your first bottle of Seche Vite! 😀
I’d love to win! Thanks for sharing, Mary, that was so kind of you! 🙂

I’m super sad – I split a nail today.
Hey Amanda!
Aww…sorry to hear that. Hope it wasn’t too painful.
I’m looking forward to the 2012 nail polish collections, of course! And my resolution is to step outside my OPI/China Glaze/Orly/Zoya comfort zone and try some new brands this year. I discovered Butter London in 2011 and I’m excited to see what 2012 will bring.
Hey Kelley!
Hehe, of course! 😀
That’s a great resolution – Butter London has so many pretty shades. (I just have one – Wallis.) Also, Cult Nails has so many gorgeous polishes!
Nail Polish Apocalypse??
Oh…just a joke….whew!! Hang on while I go reassure my pretty little babies that all is well…bless their hearts, the very idea set their little brushes all a quiver.
Seriously, Mary…you’re just so sweet, hon. Following your blog is pure pleasure. Would I love to try Seche Vite? Yep…is it really better than my China Glaze Fast Forward?
hugs!
Hey karen!
Hahahaha! Yes, I shouldn’t kid around about something as serious as a nail-polish apocalypse. 😛 It would be akin to The War of the Worlds radio broadcast. Hahaha, okay, not really…
You’re so funny, Karen! I was laughing when reading your comment. Aww…those poor little polishes with their quivering brushes. 😉
Thank you also for the kind words. Thoughtful readers like you make blogging more enjoyable for me.
I’ve never tried China Glaze Fast Forward before, so I can’t honestly compare them. Does it dry your nails really fast and provide a really shiny gloss?
I tried China Glaze Fast Forward out of desperation when our local Sally’s couldn’t seem to get any Seche Vite in. At only $5/bottle, it seemed like a good alternative to my usual OPI with the added bonus of reducing dry time.
What a surprise it was! It dries to the touch in seconds and shines like glass. Okay, so it has this wonky fruity scent that really bugs some folks, but the smell goes away fast enough and I find it oddly comforting after a stressful day. Some folks fight stress with yoga….I fight stress by painting my nails.
As good as it is with plain polish, it really shines when smoothing out glitters. Generally speaking, when using glitter polishes, I use two ‘cheapcoats’ of clear polish (because the glitter will soak it up, anyway) and then smooth the whole shebang out with a coat of the China Glaze. Not only does it give that amazing shine, but it allows all of the coats to dry a lot faster than my OPI topcoat.
Same here – I think that painting my nails is so relaxing. It’s also a creative way to cut the stress.
Thanks for letting me know about Fast Forward. It sounds like it does the job very well. Now I’m surprised that I haven’t heard more rave reviews about it.
I wanted to leave a highly intelligent and philosophical comment about something but the pure excitement of being able to try other “seche” products… aside from my BELOVED SECHE VITE has my mind spinning so fast I can’t form a coherent thought.
WOW! What a great giveaway, and the fact that it is on your lovely blog makes it even greater!
I layered Seche Vite over my very first Models Own Juicy Jules today and the semi-gritty nail polish dried super smooth… now I am loving my weekend manicure 😀
ps. taking the girls to see a disney princess story this weekend!!! They are both soo excited! 😉
Marta recently posted: My very own Models Own
Hey Marta!
I’m picturing “The Thinking Man” holding a bottle of nail polish as I read your comment. Well, the nouveau “The Thinking WOMAN”. 😉
Your manicures are always winners! And you’re so lucky to have Models Own polishes – I’m still saving up for some. They have gorgeous colours!
Hope you and the girls have fun this weekend! 😀
just painted my nails a foily/pearly pink color 🙂 i put the bottle away but its from julep! very pretty color.
Hey Karlene!
Foil polishes are so blingy – love them! 🙂 Haven’t tried this one from Julep that you mentioned, though. Sounds nice!
On my nails right now is my favorite polish ever. It’s coconut kiss by China Glaze. I love purple and it’s the perfect balance, not too light, not too dark.
Hey Erin!
Coconut Kiss is so vibrant on the nails – nice choice! 🙂
I lovvveee candles! i found your site while researching the best candles from slatkin and co. I was pleasantly suprised to find your blog! I follow it now :)))
Hey Annie!
Glad that you found me and that you’re following me! Thank you very much for your support! 🙂
Hi, first i want to say is thanks for the great contest, looking forward to many more. I would like to say that when i do give myself a French manicure, instead of using the white polish that you re supposed to use, i tend to use white-out (a.k.a liquid paper, from the bottle) as this makes the tips stand out more, dries quicker too. then i put on this nice pastel mauve polish meant for French manicures on from Yves Rocher (very pretty compared to the typical beige used for the frence manicure) and the great part about this polish is that it has a nice violet scent to it. even when it dries, it s got that violet flower scent to it, although it s not an overbearing smell, it s got a slight scent to it. In conclusion, thank you for a great contest.
Hey Christine!
There will surely be many more to come. 🙂 It’s fun organizing them, and it makes me feel good when I can spread the love of beauty products (especially nail polish) with others.
I’ve never tried any Yves Rocher nail polishes before. Interesting how it smells like violets!
This is a great giveaway! I have wanted to try the Seche nail products (especially the top coat) for awhile now. Love your blog! Its nice seeing a fellow Canadian girl doing her thing! 🙂
Hey Harmony B!
I’m trying to make all my fellow Canadians proud. Representin’! 😉
I’m wearing China Glaze Starboard topped with Fingerpaints Flecked. Mm, flakies.
My sister is trying to grow out her nails. She’s a chronic nail-biter, so we’re trying out Orly’s No Bite. I got her Confetti’s Happy Birthday for her birthday and I think she really wants to wear it. Whenever I read polish blogs online she goes all fixated on the purples, so the sparkly purple of Happy Birthday seemed extra fitting (and it’s so darn pretty). Yay for potentially hooking someone else on polish! =)
Hey Heather!
LOVE flakies! 😀
That was really thoughtful of you to help her nix the nail-biting. 🙂 Your method is way more fun than just doing it cold turkey.
I am wearing a new Revlon polish I just got called Posh. It’s the first green polish that I am completely in love with… It’s just a plain creme but there’s a touch of blue that just sends it over the top for me. I never thought that I really liked greens because out of my 130+ polish stash, I only have four! Lol, boy was I wrong! I am excited about all o the upcoming flaky collections and any new coral polishes. They are my consistent loves.
Hey Cj!
Hehe, that Revlon polish opened up a whole new world of possibilities for you! 😉 Be careful…hehe, now more greens will be screaming your name. Do you answer their call? 😛 YES!
I just had a long trip back home after Christmas break! I’m ready for bed now, exhausted!
I’m wearing OPI’s Pink Friday with Super Bass Shatter, I’m liking the combo 🙂
Happy New Year!

I’m wearing Nicole by OPI Kendall on the Katwalk
Hey Paula!
Awesome polish! 🙂 That’s my favourite from the Kardashian Kolors Collection for sure!
Hi Mary!
I’ve just started making my nail polish collection! Its so much fun but also dangerous as I am loving so many polishes but dont want to spend all my money! I’m looking into OPI nail polishes since I dont own any. 🙁 I’m currently wearing a Julep polish called Boris & Nicole with CG Twinkle Lights. 🙂 All the seche products sound great!
Hey Loomee!
Congrats on building your nail-polish collection! 🙂 Yes, it can be really dangerous because there are just so many colours that seem to beckon so sweetly. 😉 But if you try to only buy the colours that are really different instead of one or two shades off from what you already have, you can save some money that way.
I am painting my nails with OPI Dating a Royal layered with OPI for Sephora Indi-Go With the Flow at the tips. I am finishing it off with Seche Vite dry fast top coat of course!
Hey Ninette!
How cool that you’re painting your nails while visiting Swatch And Learn! 😀
Great giveaway! Thanks so much for offering it. Hopefully I’m traveling to Ireland and while I’m there I plan to hit up the nail polish racks.

Long time lurker here….i am trying to decide what to put on my nails for a wedding tomorrow. I’m wearing a Kelly green dress. Suggestions?
althea recently posted: How Do I Love…
I would say a neutral of some description. Depending on your skin tone. Either a taupe, pink, gray, etc. Anything understated. You want the dress to stand out.
Those are excellent suggestions, too! 🙂
Hey althea!
Hehe, thanks for being a long-time lurker. 🙂
Hmm…if you don’t want your nail polish to match your dress and you want to sport green nails that complement the dress, maybe go lighter with a pastel green. I think that would go well for a wedding. Maybe something like OPI Gargantuan Green Grape…or something in a similar vein.
I should have checked this at midnight when I was polishing! 😀
I went with Revlon Starry Pink on my tips and NARS Schiap on my toes. Thanks for the suggestions,I love how polish brings people together!
Hey althea!
Love and polish – the two wonderful things that bring people together. 🙂
I’m always a bit worried that I’ll run out of Zoya Remove + and not have the money to afford more! Ahhhh firstworldproblems X)

OOoo, I hope I get picked! I’m going to be stacking wood tomorrow morning so I can’t paint my nails tonight. I realized last night that I have so many glitters and shimmers and effects layers- but not enough solid colors to use as bases! Go figure.

In 2012 I’m hoping for a happy life and great job. I lost my job this week and doing nail art on my nails is very much a stress reliever and calms me.
Hey Khalilah!
I’m really sorry to hear that you lost your job. But I’m a firm believer in disappointments being blessings in disguise. Keep the faith – you may even find something that blows your old job out of the water. The opportunities are everywhere, and you have to keep looking and putting yourself on the line to make things happen. 🙂
I hope that 2012 marks an exciting year for you that’s full of new experiences!
Just reading about how amazing Seche Top Coat is on Temptalia then I pop over hear to find this give away! Perfect! Just took off my New Year’s bright pink w/OPI Over The Rainbow and I’m about to put on Essie Chinchilly (a fav) w/OPI Servin’ Up Sparkle.
Hey Amy K!
Cool combo! I love how you blinged up Chinchilly. 🙂
Hi, thanks for the giveaway! I love the Seche Vite top coat, but haven’t tried any of their other products, Hopefully they’re great, too! This year, I’m looking forward to trying some magnetic nail polish once it’s available from more brands for a better price!
Hey Lisa!
China Glaze will be coming out with magnetic polishes soon! 🙂 Their polishes are usually reasonably priced, so I’m excited!
I’ve never tried Seche Vite but i’ve heard great things about it! My goal for this year is to try some nail art so having a quality fast dry top coat will def help.
Awesome giveaway!
Hey Hannah!
I’m sure you’ll achieve your goal! The hardest part is deciding what your first design will be. 🙂
Hey, I have OPI Roadhouse Blues with Essie Shine Of The Time and I love love love this combo plus I have had it on for 7 days with minimal chipping and I have been painting and cleaning my sister’s apartment all week! Thanks for this giveaway btw and congrats on the new year! =))

Hey Sherry B.!
So this giveaway comes at a good time. Good luck in this giveaway! 😀
I just looked down and saw my nails while typing. I spent months trying to find Fowl Play by Orly from their Birds of a Feather collection. And I finally found one, lonely bottle in town. It make’s me smile!

Lucky you – that’s an awesome colour with glitter, flakie, and jelly goodness! It’s like all the best things about nail polish combined into a single bottle.
I would love to try out some of the seche products! I’ve had a hard time finding a top and base coat that really work for me.
Hey Maddy!
You should really give these a go! The top coat, especially, makes polishing a breeze.

Hi all!! So for the past several weeks I have been on a OPI Muppets kick! Just LOVE the glitters in that collection! This week I thought it would be timely to wear Katy Perry’s The One That Got Away. I did 2 coats of that and then 2 coats of OPI Servin Up Sparkle and my nails literally look like the Crown Jewels! Really great combo and I got tons of compliments! Next week I plan to wear OPI Alpine Snow with OPI Save Me for that wintry snowy feel. Can’t wait!!
Hey Christina!
Those glitters are so pretty for layering, aren’t they? 🙂
I like how you adding Servin’ Up Sparkle on top of The One That Got Away. You made the manicure your own! And, oh my gosh, I keep hearing about Save Me…BAR GLITTER – so beautiful!
I LOVE Sèche products. Nothing beats it! I’m actually using my Sèche Vite right now. It’ll make OPI Mod About You manicure extra shiny.
Vamica recently posted: Ahhhh memories…
Hey Vamica!
Glad that you’re a fan, too! 🙂 Everyone should try it out and see how amazing it works.
I’ve only used Seche top coat, which I do LOVE! I’m really curious about their other products. Congrats on the FB page; heading over there soon and hitting “Like”. 🙂
Hey BluMochi!
Thank you so much for your support! 🙂 My blog readers are the best – so positive and encouraging!
I love Seche Vite, but haven’t tried the others. Love your blog too, great to find Canadian beauty blogs… at least then I know it’s things I can find too.
Hey Laura!
I know what you mean. It’s pretty disappointing when you see something you like on a blog that can’t be shipped to Canada…especially if you’re lemming a nail polish pretty badly. 😉
Awe man, I dented a nail! I love Seche Vite and Seche Clear, excited to try and win a second bottle of each, as I’m almost finished!
Hey Jo!
Great timing, looks like – best of luck in the draw!
Aww…sorry about your dented nail. Maybe you could go over that section with more polish and see if the area ‘fills in’? There are some treatments designed especially for helping reduce the appearance of dented nails. I’ve never tried any, but I think Orly has one.
I love Seche Vite – but have only tried their fast dry top coat. I would LOVE to try their other products! It has been a total life saver for me – I can’t believe I used to sit around for 1/2 and hour + waiting for my nails to dry!!
Hey Ave!
Yes, isn’t it crazy how quickly Seche Vite speeds up the manicure process?
I have had my nails bare for the last week. Just got home from the hospital after having knee surgery. One of my last designs I did was your Santa suits, I did send you a pic on twitter. Love your blog and you do give me a lot of inspiration for nail art. Love SV and would be very excited to win. Thanks!
Hey Dawn!
Hope your knee surgery went well – rest up and recuperate!
Thank you again for trying out the Santa nail art – I was flattered! 🙂
This is also my favorite top coat. I haven’t tried the base coat, or other products. This would be a great opportunity to do so.
Hey Karen!
There are 2 winners this time around, so your chances are even better! 🙂
No matter what, I cannot leave the house or go ANYWHERE without nail polish on! Nail polish and undereye concealer…my necessities!! And Seche Vite is BY FAR the best top coat everrr!!! 🙂
Hey Amanda!
You know, sometimes I feel that way about nail polish, but occasionally I find myself even going out with only one hand painted if I forgot to buy something that I need. And nobody looked at me strangely!
I have the Seche Vite dry fast top coat, which I adore. I haven’t tried any of their other product though, so it would be nice to be able to. Thanks!
Hey Teresa!
Good luck in this draw! 😀
I have wanted to try these for so long and would love to try them. I am so disappointed that I won’t be able to wear nail polish during the week anymore because I am starting pastry school on Monday. But I will still put these to good use on the weekends.
Hey Christie!
Congratulations on starting pastry school! Hope that you have a great time and learn a lot of interesting techniques!
I’d LOVE to try Seche Vite! I’ve heard amazing things about it, but haven’t had the chance yet. 🙂
Hey Michelle!
The 11th may be your lucky day! Who knows? 😉

Hey Connie!
You’re welcome – glad you like this giveaway!
Ive been wanting to try Seche products… I’ve heard so much about them, but never got a chance to check them out! Great giveaway, thanks 🙂
Hey Lo!
This could be your chance!
I am new to your blog and sure I will find tons of great ideas! This year my plan is to be more daring with nail and makeup colours. I have been in a rut and using the same things for ages and am in major need of an update to my style

Hey belinda m!
Welcome! 🙂 Thanks for visiting – hope you’ll come back again soon. I update Swatch And Learn daily, so there’s always something new to see. Plus my readers are the best. You’ll have fun getting to know each other.
These would make great gifts!
Hey Kiwi!
Yes, they would, especially for someone who likes nail polish, but who doesn’t have a lot of time to paint their nails.
I just got a new polish – Linkin Park After Dark by OPI. It was a gift from a co-worker, and I LOVE it! 🙂 I’m partial to dark colours – mostly because of my skin tone. I favour purples and cherries, but love putting the occasional green or blue in there. I can’t really “do” yellows or yellow-based colours, so what might you suggest? 🙂
Tabatha recently posted: Why I’m Glad I’m a Geek Girl
Hey Tabatha!
If you like dark colours and you love the occasional green, I recommend China Glaze Glittering Garland. (In case you want to see some photos and a review on it, you can find mine here: http://www.swatchandlearn.com/china-glaze-glittering-garland-swatches-review/) I feel like this colour is flattering on a lot of different skin tones.
I LOVEEE Seche Vite’s Top Coat, I bought it about a month ago and I dont know how I lived without it! I’ve never tried the base coat or any other product from them.
This is a great giveaway!!!!
Thanks!
Kelly

Hey Kelly!
YAY for another Seche Vite fan! 🙂 Seems like a lot of people who have tried it have said that it changed their lives. That’s the mark of an outstanding, memorable product that withstands the test of time.
I’ve never tried Seche Vite! This would be awesome!
Hey Jen in Oregon!
This could be your chance. 😉
Cool giveaway! I’ve never tried Seche Vite before, but I hear it’s a great topcoat for glitters!

Hey Liz!
The consistency does a good job at smoothing out gritty glitter.
I hope that I will get engaged this year! That has nothing to do with nail polish, I know… but cheers to a bright and hopeful 2012!
Hey Jean Ren!
When the time’s right, it’ll happen. 🙂 Good things like that are worth waiting for!
Happy New Year – hope 2012 is a good year for you!
I loved your post about one of the Kardashian nail polishes, Kendall on the Katwalk. I keep kicking myself for not buying when I first spotted it, I keep drooling over your pictures. Pray to the nail polish gods I can find it again!
Hey AmandaCP!
Hope you run into it again. It’s a colour worth hunting down. Or, maybe you can layer some polishes to achieve a similar effect?
I have always wanted to try their products!
Hey maria!
Good luck in the draw – this could be your opportunity to snag all 4 bottles. 🙂
Nail polish is an addiction! I used to say, “I’ll never own any nailpolish” and now I can’t get enough!
Hey Sarah!
*Gasp* You said that before? *Louder Gasp* 😉
Right now I’m wearing OPI’s Mermaid’s Tears. It’s so pretty, although it takes about three coats to be completely even.
Hey Kaley!
Beautiful! Three coats are certainly worth it.
I got a lot of new nail polish for xmas 🙂 Right now, I’m wearing a gold foil, topped with a a gold sparkle from the Kardashian collection by Nicole.
Hey Amanda!
That was very thoughtful of the person who gave those polishes to you. 🙂 You’ll wear them well!
Sounds like your current manicure is very blingy!
I have Chanel Peridot on my nails right now (you inspired me to get it! :D) and it’s lasted pretty ridiculously long (especially for me) after a week. I feel bad because I haven’t commented on your posts recently :(. Stupid busy life…speaking of which all my work is in front of me waiting to get done…On a bright note, I have a predominantly China Glaze nail polish package coming in the nail from eBay, breaking about 3 months of no-buy (so proud ;D). So, yeah that’s just about all that’s on my mind :). Hope you’re doing great, Mary! 😀
Hey Ruthe!
Yes, it’s been a very long time! Hope you’re doing well and that the New Year has started off with a bang for you.
A lot of people used to complain about the Chanel formula not wearing well, but then said that Peridot had an improved formula. Between that and the colour, I knew that Peridot had to be my very first Chanel anything! 🙂 Glad that you’re enjoying it, too – it’s really a must-have shade.
Don’t feel badly about not commenting. I don’t want you to feel obligated. 🙂 I know that you’re supportive of me and Swatch And Learn.
A 3-month No Buy period is really impressive! 😀 You deserve the China Glaze treats after that strong will-power!
I have the “galaxy” nail art on my nails right now 🙂 I used the tutorial from beautylish
Hey Brittany!
Bet it looks beautiful. I keep wanting to try it. Then I’ll get distracted by a bottle of polish and wear that. :S
Oh, what a perfect give away! Right now I’m wearing OPI Onyx with the Essie Luxe Effect Shine of the Times on top. It looks pretty awesome if I do say so myself! I hope I win ;P
Hey Emma R!
Good luck! 🙂
I just finished doing my nails.
Hey Daneisha!
Best of luck in this giveaway! 😀
Work is what’s on my mind right now! Oh & what polishes from NYX I should buy!
Hey Mary P!
Whistle while you work! Oohh, nice! The new NYX polishes look really pretty – the bottle is even similar to the classy Deborah Lippmann one.
Thanks for the giveaway. Now for the random thought: I have a library book that is super overdue (by my standards) so I’m trying to finish it STAT. I always feel the librarians judge me when I return a book late. I know, so nerdy 😛
Amanda recently posted: Rafflecopter Giveaway
Hey Amanda!
You’re welcome. 🙂 I’m happy to spread the nail-polish love!
Haha, don’t worry about librarians judging you. You’re so cute! I used to work at the circulation desk at a library, and they don’t judge you…unless you return a book 7 years late. This sounds ridiculous, but it actually happened! A woman brought back a book she said she found under her bed. Apparently she was moving to a new house, and that’s how she found it. Because it was 7 years late and the library system was updated more than once, somehow, it wasn’t even showing up in the library’s records, so she didn’t have to pay anything. Of course, she was incredibly embarrassed.
I have soooooo many strange (and funny) stories from my time working at the library! Too many to share now, but there are lots of weird people out there. Returning a book late by just a bit is nothing. 🙂 At least you didn’t return a VHS tape filled with rice…where the rice was actually INSIDE the tape and all over the tape’s ribbon. YES, that also happened. (I have some absolutely crazy stories that aren’t even appropriate to talk about on this blog. So many weird things happen at district public libraries…hehe!)
I am looking forward to going back to school, now that I’m 50 it’s kind of scary but mostly exciting!
Hey tracey arrendondo!
I’m proud of you for making that bold decision to go back to school. And I love how you’re challenging yourself! I wish you the best in your classes!
sweet giveaway i love seche vite too its my hg top coat and i have to buy it quite often so an extra would be so awesome! thanks for the giveaway.
Hey tyne!
This would save you some money for sure. Some places sell Seche for an arm and a leg!
Good luck!
WOW WOW WOW what a great prize!! Please count me in =)
Hey Mindy!
You’re in the draw! 🙂 GOOD LUCK!
Hey Mary!
This is a great giveaway. It’s also great timing because my Seche Vite topcoat is almost over and my ridge filling basecoat (mine is a milky-creamy color) is just about to reach the halfway point. This month at Sally’s, you get a free bottle of China Glaze nail polish when you buy a bottle of Seche Vite.
It was the first day back at school and it was fun. I made my own nail polish strips last night and they’re dry now so I’m planning on putting them on after I type this. I found out something quite interesting yesterday, Right before I used my Colour Club crackle nail polish, I added a few drops of nail polish thinner because it was becoming to thick and I didn’t want to discard it. I rolled the bottle in my palms and when I put it on, it drie a matte charcoal. That suprised me.
On my nails right now (before I take it off o apply my nail polish strips), I am wearing OPI Fly, topped with OPI Save Me and OPI Super Bass Shatter creating a half moon mani on all my nails except my ring finger. On my ring finger, I put Sally Hansen Black Out topped with Finger Paints Motley.
Hey maddy!
Yes, that’s great timing! 🙂 Oh yeah, I also saw that offer in the Sally Beauty Supply flyer. I was tempted to buy another bottle of Seche Vite just for the China Glaze nail polish! (Silly, I know…since I have so many base and top coats as it is. Plus I actually have the HUGE refill bottle for Seche Vite. That’ll take me a loooonnngg time to finish.)
Glad that your first day back went well!
How do you make your own nail-polish strips? I’ve only seen the ones you can buy in the store. Please share! I’m curious…like a Cheshire Cat!
You just paint on about 2-3 coats of polish (whatever makes it opacque) onto a ziploc bag, then when it dries, you paint on a design (you can try making a Konadicure) or leave it plain. Let it fully dry overnight and then just peel it off and put it on your dry nail and sealing it with a topcoat or putting on a basecoat and sticking it on.
This is a link about how to make it.
http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2011/09/nail-art-tutorial-cnds-diy-river-rock-nail-decal-technique.html#more-6699
Ohhhh…right! Actually, I have heard about that. Never tried it yet. (Thanks for including the link!)
When you use that method, does your manicure tend to chip faster, or would you say the wear is pretty typical?
It lasts for about the same lenght as a regular manicure. Sometimes longer.
I wouldn’t have expected that – good to know! I’ll have to try it sometimes if I want to create a complicated decal. Thanks for reminding me!
Woohoo! Great giveaway! I’m glad I managed to stumble across you … and not just for the giveaway. 🙂 I know what I’ll be doing with my free time—browsing your past posts.
Hmm … what’s on my nails now? A lot of polish, lol. I have red flowering trees on half light gray, half light pink nails.
Hey Ashley!
So glad you found your way here, too! 🙂 Hope that you’ll feel comfortable to leave me another comment sometime or just stop by to say hey. 🙂
Your manicure sounds like a work of art!
What a great giveaway! I’ve only tried the Vite and I LOVE it.
Hey Kat!
Best of luck in this giveaway. 🙂
This year, I’m looking forward to going to New York during the summer! I’ve always admired the city and I can’t wait to finally experience the beauty first hand!
Hey Rachel!
Have a great time in New York!
Hey Mary!
Happy New Year! I hope it’s been a good one so far.
I live in Quebec, and it’s impossible to find anything in this stupid french province! -.-
I have been looking for Seche Vite in stores forever, but still to this day, have not found one that sells it. So I use Good To Go by Essie. I still want to try Seche Vite though, so i’m super excited about this giveaway!
-C
Hey Candy!
Happy New Year to you, too! 🙂
Haha, aww…sorry to hear that. But maybe you can find some cool things in Quebec that you can’t find anywhere else.
What’s on my mind…I have a huge headache and should really be going to sleep, but instead am entering nail polish giveaways. :[ I’ve been enjoying Zoya Trixie on my nails for exactly three weeks now with only a few chips and tip wear!
Hey Cassandra!
Hope that your headache went away by now. If not, just make sure you drink a lot of water – that really helps sometimes.
I’ve had Seche products on my wish list for a long time since they get such good reviews. I’d love to win!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hey Sue C.!
Best of luck! 🙂
Thanks so much for your generosity! On my nails right now is OPI Blue Moon Lagoon which I decided is a bit too light or washed out for my liking so I added Turquoise Shatter to the accent nails and now we are happier 🙂
Hey Brooke S.!
You’re welcome. 🙂 But Seche really is the generous one here, offering all these great products! I was so excited when they said I could have TWO winners! 😀
A bit tired, thinking I need some more coffee soon 🙂 What a great giveaway!
Carolyn
Hey Notes and Nails!
Hope the coffee did its thing! (You know…sometimes coffee makes me sleepy because it’s warm and cozy. Strange, I know!)
Seche Vite is my fav and would love to be entered into the draw.
Thanks,
Karen
Hey Karen!
Glad you like Seche Vite so much! 🙂 You’re entered in the draw. Best of luck!
I just finished applying the Seche Vite top coat over my Sephora by OPI in BYOBoy. I love this top coat! In the time it took to type this, my nails are pretty much dry and I’m ready to go out the door.
Hey Sarah P!
Isn’t it crazy how fast Seche Vite dries? Before using it, I would sometimes get sheet marks on my nails in the morning. But with Seche Vite, it dries so quickly that there’s less time for you to accidentally screw up a manicure. 🙂
I LOVE the Seche Dry Fast TC but I had never heard of the ridge filling BC. I really need a good ridge filler and if its as good as the TC then it may become a staple for me. Hope I win!

Hey Michelle I!
Wow, thank you for supporting me via all the different avenues possible! 😀 That’s awesome and so encouraging!
whats on my mind… well I was looking at Sally Hansen Magical and Nail Prism swatches thinking how I wish I had them… and how I just ran out of top coat… and money 😛 so winning would be helpful 🙂
Hey Chelsea!
The deadline is nearly here! Who knows, you could be one of the winners! 🙂 Good luck!
How exciting! I’ve been wanting to try the seche vite top coat! Love your blog 🙂
Hey Amy!
Thank you! 🙂 Hope you’ll feel comfortable leaving a comment on a future blog post that inspires you to. 🙂
Such a great giveaway! I haven’t tried any Seche Vite products yet so fingers crossed!
Hey Amy!
Fingers crossed! Toes crossed! Eyes crossed! Best of luck! 😀
Seche Vite topcoat is great on all my nail designs it never drags or smears my designs and its super shiny! I haven’t tried their other products… sooo excited great giveaway!
Hey Krystle Castro!
I’m really excited, too! Tomorrow’s the big day when I’ll announce the 2 winners! 🙂
i have never tried sech
Hey jackie!
This could be your chance. We’ll find out tomorrow! 🙂
What’s on my mind currently is that I recently jammed my thumb nail and a little bit of the nail separated from the nail bed and now it hurts to use it 🙁 Oh and I can hardly read the words I’m typing because the font is so small lol. I love my Seche top coat except it does shrink the tips a little, so I have to be careful to wrap my nails. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Hey Erin M.!
OOOWWWW! That sounds painful! Hope it heals quickly.
I have on an awesome blue glitter gradient right now, although it’s chipped in several places now. 🙁
Sarah at Starlight Radiance recently posted: Day 5: Blue – Glitter Gradient
Hey Sarah at Starlight Radiance!
Chipping just means that you can remove it and put on another awesome manicure! 🙂
I’m new to the world of nail polish, and desperately in need of a reliable quick dry top coat. I picked up Essie Good to Go today and it seems ok but I would LOVE to try Seche Vite. Any tips for nail biters? I’m finding that keeping my nails polished helps but any additional pointers?
Hey Amanda!
I used to be a nail biter, myself, and really, the only way I quit was will power. I would bite my nails out of habit, and sometimes I didn’t even realize I was doing it, but I tried to become more conscious of it. So anytime my hands would go to my mouth, I’d just stop biting. It took a few weeks, and you have to be patient.
I’ve never tried this, but some people use a special kind of nail treatment that tastes bad (on purpose) so that when they go to bite their nails, the bad taste will repel them. (I think painting your nails like what you’ve been doing is much better. At least you can admire pretty colours.)
Hi!!!
Thank you for this awesome giveaway!!! On my nails right now, I am wearing China Glaze Tinsel Town! I am a glitter girl!!
allthatisgorgeous@gmail.com
Hey AllThatIsGorgeous!
It’s verrry glittery and so much fun!
I love Seche! So excited 🙂
Hey melanie newton!
Me, too! 🙂 Good luck in the draw. I’ll be picking the winners realllllllly soon!
Thanks for a great giveaway! I am excited to try my new nail stamping kit and plates I received for Christmas. Unfortunately, being sick has prevented me before now, but I hope to try my first stamping this weekend!
Hey April!
Good that you’re feeling better now! 🙂 Have fun playing around with the kit – it’ll open a whole world of creativity! 🙂
What an amazing giveaway!! I LOVE Seche products. SV has been my go to top coat since before I became polish obsessed. However, I’ve only tried Seche Clear as far as the other products go. My nails are currently naked *gasp* because I just got done repairing a broken one (so far, it has held up for a whole 15 minutes)! On lunch, though, I plan on slapping on Sinful Gorgeous with FingerPaints Flecked on top because it matches my outfit for class tonight. 🙂
Angel recently posted: Creating a Custom Personal Planner – Assembly
Hey Angel!
Sounds like you have a fun manicure planned! All those Fingerpaints flakies are gorgeous – lucky that you got your hands on Flecked!
