Welcome to my blog and my 1st giveaway
It's been brought to my attention that no one is able to sign on to follow my blog. As you all know I'm very new to this and still learning how to work things. If your on a mobile you can click on the link at the bottom of the page to take you to the desktop version. From there you can sign up on the left margin. If you have any trouble pls comment and let me know. Thx in advance.
Welcome to my little part of this big blogging world.
Some of you may know me and some of you may not. My Name is Tolanda and I'm a polishaholic. I'm known to most as thelacqueredowl on all social media sites.
For me nail polish is a hobby, a stress reliever, and a way to connect with new and interesting people all over the world. I started doing my nails around this time in 2012 and since then it has turned into a full blown obsession, lol.
As much joy and positivity as the nail community brings me, it like anything else comes with it's fair amount of drama. So I'd just like to state right now that this is my blog and I will do with it what I please. I can promise you that if you choose to follow me it will be 90% nail related and 10% of a number of other things like owls, non nail product reviews and sometimes just chit chat about life. In this crazy world I'd like this blog to be a source of joy not stress. If you don't mind all that's stated above I'd love to have you.
Now enough chitchat. To celebrate reaching 1,100+ IG followers, the start of my FB page and now my blog I'd like to get My 1st Giveaway started.

I'd like to start by thanking all of the wonderful ladies who signed on to sponsor this very special event. The support and encouragement they have shown me has meant so much.
The 2 winners will each receive 2 different prize packs. 1 will contain polish, etc donated by my lovely sponsors and the other will contain some of my favorite nail items (purchased by me). Depending on the amt of entries I have prepared a 3rd prize pack that's a combination of the 2 stated above.
Feel free to share this giveaway and goodluck to you all.
