It is giveaway time!
In honor of reaching 100 followers and receiving 100% reimbursement of my medicine’s out-of-pocket expenses I put together a giveaway to say thank you. I am so appreciative to all of you for sticking with me!
The prizes in this giveaway mostly consist of nail art goodies but some other items, as well. If you would like to enter, check out the Rafflecopter widget below. Please do not enter with give-away only accounts. This giveaway is a thank-you to the people who follow and read my posts!
The giveaway will run until October 10, 2014.
One lucky reader will receive (1) Incoco Nail Polish Appliqué in Day Dreams (check out the website for a better picture here), (1) Sephora by OPI nail polish in Metro Chic, (1) Chanel Les Vernis In Taboo, (1) Aveeno Positively Radiant daily moisturizer with SPF 15, and (1) Bourbon The Original chocolate biscuits.
I really like Incoco appliqués; it is nice to get pretty nails without the work. I am really bummed they discontinued this brand so when HauteLook had a flash sale on Sephora by OPI I snagged three bottles! Taboo is one of my all-time favorite polishes because, as you know, I have a soft spot for Chanel!
The Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer is my holy grail product. If I had to choose any product, whether it be nail polish or makeup, this moisturizer would take the prize. The medications make my skin look lackluster and this cream hides minor imperfections. I prefer the SPF 15 over the SPF 30 because it is less greasy. I really love the Bourbon biscuits. They just make me happy. They are difficult to find in the US so I ask my father to bring home packs and packs of these when he travels.
These are some my favorites so I am really stoked about this giveaway, which is open internationally. I hope you enter by clicking the link below! Good luck!

I am a very happy Monica today! Look forward to a happy ending post on Wednesday! Reimbursement finally came through. The saga ended! I am getting ALL my money back.
YES.
All of it!
After 9 months, I will be reimbursed! I will re-count the epic, yes, EPIC (where generally people die at the end) tale of getting my money back.
I am so so so excited! This is not just they told me the invoices were processed and they will send the money. They have sent the money. The checks were posted in the mail on SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2014.
In other news…
On the 7th of September, 2014 I reached 100 subscription followers on my blog! Wow! I always prefer quick and instant gratification (who would ever said I don’t want that now, I want it in one year?) but I know big goals take time and persistence. For one year of nail art blogging, I am thrilled to have received 100 followers! I know my posts are not up to scratch because of flares and fatigue, and I disappear for short periods of time. I feel like I am not putting out my best work sometimes so I really appreciate you sticking with me through all of that! I’ve been considering a giveaway for some time and now is the best time to do it!
In celebration of all of the above…
I have not finalized what will be in the giveaway yet but it will contain some nail goodies and some RA-inspired goodies too! I want to keep it small so I can open the giveaway internationally!
I will use Rafflecopter to accept entries so expect more information on that in the next couple of weeks!
Seriously, thank you everyone!
