Finally, it’s the moment that I’ve been looking forward to since last month! Guess what? I have a new giveaway!
Yup, China Glaze and I teamed up so that you can win all 12 nail polishes in the China Glaze ElectroPop Collection!
Want to know how you can enter this giveaway? (Of course you do!)
** Congratulations, Holly! (She replied within 48 hours to claim her prize. Thanks to everyone for participating! **
Many of you who follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ got the early heads up about how I had a brand spankin’ new giveaway in the works.
It’s time to spill the beans! 🙂
NailPolishCanada reached out to me and asked if I’d be interested in hosting a sponsored giveaway for my readers.
Of course I said yes, especially since I know that you all will love this prize!
Not only can you enter now to win a Konad Nail Stamping Kit, but if you read this post carefully, you’ll see how you can potentially win soooooo much more!
Ends Tuesday February 7, 2012 at 11:11 am (Eastern).
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.

Congratulations, Candy! You’ve won!
Candy replied to my e-mail to claim her prize, so this giveaway is officially closed.
Thank you to everyone who participated! Stay tuned in the New Year – I’ve already lined up another great giveaway that nail-polish lovers may especially like. 😉

We are nearing the end of the year, and I want to thank you all for your incredible support and encouragement. There have been many days when I didn’t feel so great, but your overwhelming positive attitude really picked my spirits up.
I truly believe that when it comes to blogging, you get even more back than what you put in.
Interacting with all of you has reinforced my belief that there are lots of kind, honest, and generous people in the world. And no amount of Grinches will change my mind. (I’m stubborn like that.)
So, to give back to my loyal readers, I decided to hold a December Giveaway! 🙂 And, although my past 2 giveaways were open to Canadians only, this giveaway is open to everyone! I didn’t want to leave anyone out. (So even if you live in the desert, enter! The cuticle cream could come in handy.)
There were so many products that I wanted to include because I thought you’d enjoy them. I had to whittle it down, or I’d have to send a suitcase…haha!
Further along in this post, I’ll go into exactly what the one lucky Swatch And Learn winner will win, how to enter, and all the important details. Continue reading
As another thank you to my regular Canadian readers, I have a surprise giveaway for you! (Edit: The giveaway is now closed. See bottom of post for the winner.)
What can you win? A December Topbox! See details at the bottom of this post.
What you see pictured is from the November Topbox, and that’s what I’ll be reviewing.
I was recently contacted by Topbox and asked if I would like to try out their November box. They also generously offered to provide the prize for this giveaway!
What is Topbox? It’s like the Canadian version of Birchbox (similar to the Loose Button Luxe Box that I previously blogged about).
So what’s the difference? Topbox sets themselves apart in terms of only providing top brands (hence their name) and minimalist packaging, which is environmentally friendly. You get 4 deluxe-sized samples each month for just $10 CAD. Shipping is free. (Edit: I just signed up to receive the February 2012 Topbox – found out that there’s tax, so in total, you’ll be paying $11.30 CAD.)
I was really excited to see it in person, and as I was opening the package for the first time, I was taking photos. At one point, I had to put my camera down because I was so ecstatic and couldn’t believe my eyes!
Allow me to go into further details. 🙂 Continue reading
Congratulations, Nicole!
I e-mailed Nicole and she replied to claim her prize. 🙂
Thanks to everyone for participating! I’ll be having another Canadians-only giveaway really soon. 😉
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Did you go trick-or-treating last night? Well, this Milani giveaway is all treat and no trick. There’s tons of loot to win!
I think the Dirty Harry quote is very fitting for this: “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” 😉
Congratulations, Lauren Lucas!
You won!
I e-mailed Lauren (Monday September 12 at 2:17 pm Eastern) and she replied to my e-mail. I passed along her information to WowSoCool and they’ll be sending her the egift certificate for $25 shortly! Congratulations, again!
And thank you to everyone for participating! It was a lot of fun, and stay tuned for upcoming giveaways. Hope you all will continue to come back, browse Swatch And Learn, and leave a comment to say hey. 🙂
———————————
As promised, I have been working on a new giveaway for you all. Since a lot of you seem to be just as interested in nail polish and nail art as I am, I thought this time a nail-art giveaway would be the most appropriate.
Everything in this photo was purchased by me from various nail-art supply etailers (including WowSoCool) over the past year or more.
I’ve shopped at WowSoCool.com several times. They have tons of reasonably priced nail-art supplies including Konad image plates, stampers, Konad Special Nail Polishes, etc. They offer free shipping on orders of $20 or more for US and Canadian orders. (They also do ship internationally. The only restrictions are that they don’t ship to Brazil or Qatar.)
I got in touch with Jessica from WowSoCool, and she was generous enough to provide the prize for my blog giveaway. Many thanks to her!
