Hey everyone!
This is a brief second blog post for today.
Several weeks ago, my dear friend, Marta, asked me if I would be willing to do a guest post on ChitChatNails while she’s away in Poland. I was very honoured for the opportunity!
Click here or on the screenshot below to see the flower nail-art tutorial I did for the guest post. 🙂
For a little sneak peek, here’s the design I came up with:
If you check out Marta’s blog, I have no doubt that you’ll soon be calling her the Stamping Queen like I do. 😉
Hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday!
This is a very short second blog post for today to share some exciting news with you! 🙂

Okay, and after seeing on their site that blue hair is the spring trend, I have to ask you now…Have you ever sported blue hair? Would you?
Back when I was in university, I thought about dying my hair blue, but I was too much of a chicken to follow through with it. *Bawk bawk bawk* 😉
** 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!

Hey everyone!
This is a second post for today. As you can see, Swatch And Learn got a facelift!
No scalpels were involved and no blood was shed, but there were some tears. (Don’t worry – the nail polish was left completely unharmed. There wasn’t even the smallest scratch on a single bottle.) 😉
Change is a difficult thing to get used to at first. When you’ve become so familiar with a design and it changes, you feel that sense of loss.
Chucking the old blog layout was something that was necessary – it was akin to amputating an arm infected with a severe case of gangrene. (Okay, so I’m not winning any awards for being a Drama Queen.) Still, though, it was really hard for me to bid farewell to the design I’ve stuck with since July 25th, 2010.
But it had to be done, much like the Macarena at the school dance a long time ago.
The old layout was a pain in the acetone, and making any custom changes felt like painting your toenails while in a straitjacket. (It’s hard. I’ve tried. No success.) 😉
I didn’t want to have to sing for my supper for every tiny change. In fact, I was tired of singing for supper, period! Not only did it remind me that I’m no Mariah Carey, but it also left me very, very hungry. (Now I just have to nod my head and food magically appears in front of me. It’s miraculous!)
The new layout isn’t as elaborate as my previous one, but behind the scenes, it functions a billion times better. To me, that’s really important.
I’ll be continually tweaking things here and there to give it some personality that it’s obviously lacking. Plus there are some things that need fixing as soon as I can figure out good solutions.
I ask that you please be patient with me and the changes. I’m not a programmer, so I’m learning from scratch. I want the design to be great, but I’m starting at the bottom of the mountain.
Hope that you’ll continue to visit and leave your wonderful comments on Swatch And Learn during this transition period.
This is a very short second post for today to let you know that Swatch And Learn is finally on Facebook!
Click on the image below or here to go to the page.
I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all better there, and I think this will be an easier way for some of you to get the latest updates on Swatch And Learn.
Please stop by, “Like” the page, and interact with me. I love hearing what you all think about the latest nail-polish and beauty collections and even just finding out what’s on your nails right now.
Also, feel free to post photos of your nails and nail art so everyone can enjoy your creativity at work! 🙂
Thanks again for your unwavering support!
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.
