Surprise Worldwide Giveaway!
Mini nail polishes are so cute and collectible. I love how they allow you to try out several different colours without committing to a full-size bottle of each. And, if you have small feet like I do, you know that mini lacquers have the ideal brush to paint your little toenails with!
When I came across the new China Glaze Road Trip Travel Sized Mini Set, I purchased a set for myself and one for you, so we can be nail twins! 😉
The China Glaze Road Trip Collection is the latest, and this Travel Sized mini set includes 6 of the 12 colours. All of them are spring-themed, but you can definitely wear them whenever you want.
Especially because the winter can be so dreary, I wanted something to brighten your day, and what better way than with some fun-coloured lacquer?
This is a little token of my appreciation to amazing readers like you who make my blogging experience so rewarding and enjoyable. Thank you so much for supporting me over the years and visiting the blog! 🙂

Reading #SwatchAndLearn has taught me to get out of my blue and green rut and try some new colors and nail shapes. I never thought I would wear some of the colors I now own and adore! It may not seem important but my nails are my indulgence.
I learned how to do dots and stripes! I’m not very good at nail art, but I’ve come to #SwatchAndLearn several times because of the tutorials, and they were really helpful, especially for dotticures.
I learned Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Nail art from #SwatchAndLearn and it was my nail theme last Christmas!
What i learnt from #SwatchAndLearn is that simple dot manicure can be elegant and quite impressive. I also learnt that OPI ‘s shades are so beautiful)))
What I’ve learned from#SwatchAndLearn… Basically, what nail polishes are worth/not worth splurging on!
I have learned from #SwatchAndLearn that i dont have to be ashamed for having my own hawls of shame… ;). I have also learned about some new polish brands.
What I learned from #Swatch&Learn is to try out colors I never would have normally worn and being more adventures in polish choices.
#swatchandlearn win mini’s try new colors!
I LOVE the detailed reviews on #SwatchAndLearn. More than onxe your blog has pushed me to either purchase a nail polish or not to buy it. I really like to way you’re always honest in your reviews 🙂
BEAUTIFUL SWATCHES.
LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME ON #SwatchAndLearn
I learned how to do a dotticure mani, especially using bright fun colors.
I learned from @SwatchAndLearn that less is more and you can make a great manicure by not doing very much.
#SwatchAndLearn has taught me that there are trends in nail polish (just like trends in fashion) and that nail polish can be empowering! 🙂
I’ve learned it isn’t necessary to have a perfect manicure on your nails as long as you enjoy it 🙂
(and also that it isn’t at all weird to have over 500 polishes and still need more, and that one green definitely is not the same as another one and that wallets can actually hide and even cry 😉 )

I have followed #SwatchAndLearn for a long time to see new swatches. I have learned a lot of new indie brands.
This might sound silly, but I find I learn a lot about what’s available to Canadians and not, from you. Being able to follow a fellow Torontonian makes it relatable and exciting…also a little bit exclusive too since some things are close to home 😉
Hi #SwatchAndLearn !
The main thing I learned from you, and to date it’s still my favorite thing about your approach to blogging is this: Treating your readers as peers, and interacting with them regularly, is the way to every nailphile’s heart. You made yourself very friendly and approachable, and I think that is what really stands out- people come for the polish, but we stay for the camaraderie!

I’ve learned at #SwatchAndLearn that I’m not the only one who loves bold colours on the nail.

And at last I’ve learned that whenever I visit your site, which is quite often since I follow you at twitter and facebook to never miss anything, I usually lemming for new polishes. That can’t be healthy 😀
Have a nice day
Rachel
