Swatch And Learn 6-Year Blogiversary Giveaway

My blogging journey started in 2010, and back then, I never knew how long this adventure would last or how much I would learn over the years.

It has been filled with many exciting milestones, and I’ve gotten to know wonderful readers who never fail to inspire and amuse me.

Together, we have grown, and it has been a labour of love sharing one of my passions with you and contributing to the beauty community in a small, but meaningful way.

Whether you are a new reader or one who has been by my side since the beginning, I want to thank you for your support. It means a lot to me! 🙂

I am very fortunate to have such smart, caring, and positive readers from all over the world. (It’s incredible how the love of polish and beauty products can unite an entire community! Let’s continue to spread our positive energy.)

As a small token of my appreciation and to celebrate, I’m having a 6-Year Blogiversary Giveaway that’s open worldwide. (Since my readers span the globe, I wanted to include everyone.)

Enter the giveaway by August 5!

Earlier, you voted in my poll for which nail-polish collections you wanted as a prize. The Zoya Seashells Collection and the Zoya Sunsets Collection received the most votes.

Taking that into consideration, I rounded up three prizes:

First Prize: Zoya Seashells Collection

One lucky winner will get all six full-size nail polishes in the Zoya Seashells Collection! (This prize is generously provided by Nail Polish Canada.)

Edit: Congratulations, Jenness! You are the first prize winner!

Second Prize: Zoya Seashells Fun Size Sampler & Zoya Sunsets Fun Size Sampler

One lucky winner will get these two sets that contain four mini nail polishes in each set. (This prize is generously provided by Zoya.)

Edit: Congratulations, Allison! You are the second prize winner!

Third Prize: Zoya Seashells Quad Gift Set & Zoya Sunsets Quad Gift Set

One lucky winner will get these two sets that contain three mini nail polishes and a lipstick in each set. (This prize is generously provided by Zoya.)

Edit: Congratulations, Anouk! You are the third prize winner!

A huge thank you to Nail Polish Canada and Zoya for providing the prizes and also for their continual support. These are two companies that I love and highly recommend!

To see swatches of all the nail polishes and lipsticks and/or to get further information on the collection, see the links later in this post that will take you to my reviews.

See the rest of this post for the full details on how to enter my giveaway!

Good luck!

Edit (July 26, 2016): I’ve been going through the comments that you’ve left me on this post, and it makes my eyes water. My readers are amazing! Thank you so much for all of your kind words. You brighten up my day and remind me how fortunate I am to have supportive and positive readers!

Edit (August 7, 2016): Congratulations to the three winners, Jenness, Allison, and Anouk! Please check your e-mail soon to claim your prizes. Thanks to everyone for participating in this giveaway! Stay tuned because there’s always something new and fun on the blog.

For the Second Prize and Third Prize, I will send them, regardless if the winner is Canadian or not.

I also won’t ask you for confidential information. (I will only require the winner’s name and mailing address.) I also won’t end my giveaway earlier.

If anyone sketchy tries to contact you saying you’re a winner and you’re unsure, the safest thing to do is to check this blog post because I will publicly announce the winner before contacting you to say that you’ve won.

    You’re one of the first blogs I’ve followed on my feedly – the pictures are gorgeous and give a good idea of what the polishes actually look like, the descriptions of colour, formula etc are really helpful to help make an informed choice, and your warm and engaging writing style top it off 😀
    I like the occasional not nail polish related post too, whether it’s make-up or something more personal – it makes you more real and human from behind my screen <3
    thank you for your blog!

    Happy 6th! And many more to come I hope. I love reading your blog because it’s a chance to learn about new polishes I might not have heard about elsewhere (like my love for Pretty Serious, I wouldn’t have found them without you!) or just to see the great swatches you do so I can get an idea if a polish is ‘for me’ or not. I think I say this every year but I so appreciate all the hard work and time you put into your blog so that all us readers can enjoy it. You’re the best!

    I’ve been into nails since January 2012. When I was bopping around the net trying to find info about brands and collections and of course, swatches, your blog was one of the first that I stumbled upon. I love your honesty and your kind spirit. I remember fan-girling when you started to follow me on Instagram You always have kind and encouraging comments and I always appreciate that. Congrats on your 6th bloggaversary. May you have many more to come.

    So excited for you to have SIX YEARS! of blogging. That’s fantastic.

    I come here to live vicariously through you – at trade events and for finding my next polish. You do all the hard work, making it easy for me to just sit back and make my choices quietly.

    Wheeeee! Happy Blogiversary!

    I visit your blog because I love how in depth your reviews are and how you show the polish in different lighting, which can really make a difference to me when I purchase. My hands don’t life in a lightbox and if I don’t like the way the polish looks in natural light I usually don’t get it. Thank you for your hard work!

    Hi Mary! I’m so happy for you and your acheivements. I visit your blog not just for swatches and reviews, not just to find out all the newest and hottest items, but to have a little piece of you to brighten up my day. Your blog is sunshine and smiles. Your words make me laugh and can take the edge off of a dreadful day. Your thoughts and the way you express yourself are really enjoyable. I find myself nodding and agreeing or being intrigued and wanting to see/know more. I hope you continue sharing your thoughts with us for a long time. You truly light up my life and have a special place in the beauty community.

    I’m a pretty new reader – about two months ago I saw your excellent swatches featured on Nail Polish Canada and decided to check out your blog. I was pretty excited that you’re also a Torontonian, since one of my frustrations with a lot of the other nail polish blogs I follow is that they featured indie brands that I can’t import here (at least not without going broke). Happy 6th blogiversary!

    One day I was looking for information on a certain polish (can’t remember which one) and Google brought me to your site. I just loved the way you shape your nails, and your polish application is impeccable. Your post on the newest Misa polishes was so full of information that not only did I immediately order a pile of those polishes, I went back and read every single blog post you have ever made. There is no other nail polish blog as good as yours.

    Reply ↓
  76. Kristin Herbeck

    My guilty little secret, the posts I most enjoy are the ones where you describe your experiences attending various nail exhibits/conferences, etc. and your stories about meeting the various makers and manufactures. I really love your swatches and reviews but the conference posts make it feel as though I am attending them with you. I’ll take a glass of white wine too! Lol

    Hi I’m Jana & I’m Happy to Be Here On Your Website, I Found Your Site Via the “Beauty Info Zone” Website! First of All I Want to Wish You a Happy 6 Year Blogiversary; Congrats on 6 Years, You Shhould Be Very Proud of Yourself! Having a Successful Blog for 6 Years is No Small Feat, I Always Wished that I Had the Personality & Creativity to Have My Own Blog! I’m a Huge Nail Polish Fanatic; Nail Polish is Tied with a Pretty Eye Shadow Palette as Being My Absolute Favorite Beauty Product! I Think the Reason I Love Eye Shadow & Nail Polish So Much is b/c I Love Creating Fun, New Looks with Different Colors & Finishes! I Have Always Been into Arts of All Sorts but I Also Enjoy Skin Care & Makeup So I Just Combined the Two and I Went to School to Become an Esthetician & Makeup Artist! I Actually Want to Go Back to School to Also Become a Nail Tech b/c I Enjoy Painting My Nails & I See All of These Gorgeous Nail Art Designs & I Want So Badly to Be Able to Create Them Too! Right Now All I Can Do is Just a Basic Mani but I Really Want to Learn So Much! Although Painting Nails & Putting on Eye Shadow are My Favorite Things to Do, I Can Only Do a Few Basic Things & I’m Nowhere Near as Talented as You are but I’m Ready to Learn! Zoya is in My Top 10 Favorite Nail Polish Brands, Which is Saying a Lot Considering Just How Many Different Brands There are Out There; I Would Tell You My Top 10 but I Don’t Want to Ramble Anymore than I Already Have! I Am Really Happy to Be Here, I Just Wish I Would Have Found Your Website a Lot Sooner b/c I Have Missed Out on a Ton of Great Nail Polish Swatches but I Can Always Go Back and Read Your Older Posts! I Really Enjoy Seeing Different Kinds of Nail Art b/c I Like to Save it for My Pinterest Board for Some Inspiration for Later! I Also Love to See Swatches First Before I Purchase Them b/c I Can’t Afford to Spend Money on Something that I End Up Not Liking, Plus I Have Really Fair Skin and Not All Colors Look Great On Me! My Favorite Kinds of Nail Polish are Probably the More Colorful & the More Shimmery or Sparkly Ones… These Kinds of Polish Just Put You in a Good Cheerful Mood, Don’t They? Anyways Sorry for Talking Your ear Off but I Really Do Love Zoya Nail Polish, I Have a Ton of Their Colors on My Pinterest Board! Well Thanks Again for this Awesome Opportunity, Have a Blessed Day Mary! – Jana

    Why do I visit Mary at Swatch and Learn…..? Let me count the ways!! 1. She puts smiles in her posts! 2. She makes me smile with her enthusiasm and passion behind her blogging. 3. She’s incredibly thorough and consistent in her reviews. 4. She writes with authority, but not so that she’s talking down to her audience. 5. It’s one of the first blogs I started following back in 2012 (I think it was…). 6. There’s more…but I will save them up for the next 6 more years!! Congrats Mary on this milestone and all of the amazing things you’ve accomplished in the nail polish world!

    I follow swatch and learn so I can see all the beautiful nail polish swatches. I like being “in the know” about upcoming polish collections so I can decide how to spend my hard earned dollars!
