Hey everyone,
This is a quick blog post to let you know that, sometime in July, I’ll be having at least one nail-polish giveaway, but probably more!
Plus I’ll also be sharing some really exciting news that I’ve been keeping quiet for over a year! Can’t wait to spill the beans! 🙂 (EDIT: Click here to see my blog post showing you swatches of the nail-polish shade I designed, Pretty Serious Swatch And Learn!)
Stay tuned – you won’t want to miss it!
Enjoy your day!
– Mary
For June, I whipped up a super simple design for PromCanada.com that you can complete quickly, and it only involves a few colours.
It’s literally as easy as 1-2-3! Plus you can easily match your dress and change up the design to suit your personality.
It uses 3 shades from the Nicole by OPI Seize the Summer Collection!
My Nail Art Tutorial for this look is featured on PromCanada.com. Click here to see the original article!
Thank you, PromCanada, for featuring me, and I look forward to sharing another fun nail-tutorial on your website in August!
Edit (June 1st at 2:20 pm EDT):Â Congratulations, Carolyn! You’ve won my giveaway! I will be sending you an e-mail. Please reply to it with 48 hours to claim your prize.
Thank you to everyone for participating! I hope you had fun!
Stay tuned because, yes, I have more great nail-polish giveaways lined up really soon.

Readers like you have always been a huge source of support for me, encouraging me and bringing extra positivity into my life.
Especially when I’m feeling down (such as when my cat, Pingu, passed away recently) or I’m having a crummy day, you really have a way of letting me know that you care. That is a rare gift, and I don’t take it for granted.
Thank you for every comment, every tweet, every “Like” on Instagram, and just everything you say and do to put a smile on my face. People are so busy these days, so it’s an honour that you manage to fit Swatch And Learn into your day.
Here in Canada, it’s the Victoria Day long weekend, and there’s no better way I’d like to celebrate than with my readers! But we’ll skip the e-fireworks because I know you love nail polish as much as I do! 😉

SURPRISE!
I’m having another giveaway to reward my loyal readers. (Just in case you didn’t get the memo, you’re awesome!) 🙂
NailPolishCanada and I teamed up again. (I really admire the hard-working staff there, and they never fail to support me, despite their hectic schedules. It feels good when companies appreciate the ‘little guy’. A big thank you to NailPolishCanada for generously providing the prize for this giveaway!)
If you’re in Canada or the United States, you can enter for your chance to WIN the entire CND Vinylux Open Road Collection!
(Included in this collection are the following shades:Â Desert Poppy, Clay Canyon, Sun Bleached, Sage Scarf, Powder My Nose and Mint Convertible.)
This giveaway will run now until Friday May 9 at 11:59 pm EDT.
In a previous post, I told you about how I was 1 of 2 handpicked bloggers asked to share nail art tutorials that would be featured on the Prom Canada website for every other month.
Well, February was my first one showing a leopard design. Now that it’s April, I have a new nail tutorial up that just went live yesterday – it shows Fishtail Braid Nail Art mixed with textured accents!
This time, I shared a technique that I’ve long loved because it doesn’t require too many colours or special tools to complete the look – you can use the brushes right from the bottles.
I find myself turning to it time and time again, plus it’s so easy to customize that the same design looks very different, depending on what colours you use.
In this post, I’ll share with you detailed step-by-step instructions with photos, so you can recreate this easy look. You’ll need some patience, but once you’re finished painting, it’s well worth it!
You know how much I love doing the fishtail braid – I shared this technique on Swatch And Learn here, here, and here.
Happy Friday, everyone!
We’ve made it to the end of the week, and I hope that you’re doing well!
It’s going to be a rainy day where I am, but as long as the temperature slowly but surely moves upwards, I’m a happy camper. The cold weather is overstaying its welcome!
Last night, I didn’t get a chance to prepare a full in-depth review, due to a very demanding schedule after work. But, I also didn’t want to leave Friday post-less because my readers are always on my mind.
So, I would still like to take this opportunity to:
Have a fantastic day, whatever you have planned, and make the most of this weekend!
As for myself, I’ll have a very busy weekend with non-blogging stuff and visiting my mom, but I plan to squeeze in enough time to reply to some comments and tweets, as well as to get a head start on preparing posts for next week.
As usual, stay tuned for my next post starting Monday.
P.S. My blog readers are the best! 🙂
Sincerely,
Mary
