Giveaway: I feel like celebrating!

Hello!

I am still excited about being featured on Nail It!'s website, and I know that if it weren't for the people that take the time to read my blog and spread the word about it, they would never have heard of my little nail blog. So, I want to share a piece of this happy with you by holding a giveaway. :)

The prize will be a $25 gift certificate to your choice of either Ninja Polish or Llarowe. These are two of my favorite places to shop for specialty polishes, and I'm sure you know and love them, too.

The giveaway is open to anyone who wants the gift certificate, and meets the Rafflecopter terms. Both stores ship to much of the world, although not all of it, so please be sure to check to see if they ship to your country. :)

The giveaway will run for three weeks, until 30 August 2013.



a Rafflecopter giveaway



Good luck, and thank you so much for all of your support!!

Hugs and love,
M.
