CLOSED: Nail Art Giveaway on Swatch And Learn!

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. πŸ™‚

———————————

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.

Enter to Win a $25 WowSoCool eGift Certficiate on Swatch And Learn

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.Β  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! :) Continue reading

Swatch And Learn on beautylishHey everyone!

You’ll remember me mentioning not long ago that I finally joined beautylish. Well, I have some more exciting news to tell you!

I am subscribed to the beautylish Beautywire e-mail newsletter, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that in the latest one (called “Save Money on Your Makeup!”), they featured my Cupcake Nails! πŸ˜€

And I feel honoured to be sandwiched (hehe) between two incredibly awesome manicures!

Keep reading to see more screenshots. I’ll also provide a link to the beautylish post so you can see it for yourself.

Weee! I’m on Cloud 9! Continue reading

So far I’ve uploaded photos of nail art I’ve done over the year. I’ll continue to add to this gallery, and once I get a better feel for this site and learn more about its features, I’ll participate even more and start following others. There’s a bit of a learning curve, so please bear with me.

Just got a pleasant surprise today on Twitter – Swatch And Learn is featured in the latest edition of TheMagicEveningTimes! I had never heard of them before, but looks like they also highlighted Scrangie’s manicure (at the top of the page).

They chose to share the Magician Nails I posted yesterday and provide a link back. Scroll down to the “Leisure” section and you’ll see it.

Here’s a screenshot of the section I’m featured in:
