1 Year Blogiversary Giveway and Nail Art Competition!

This giveaway is now closed!

Exactly one year ago today I started Pretty Purple Polish. If you are interested in seeing my first swatch photos here they are (you might want to shield your eyes). I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep this up for a year but I'm so glad I have. I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and interactions on social media. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't stopped blogging by now. So to celebrate my first blogiversary I'm going to hold a giveaway and a nail art competition.

There are three (3) prizes in total. The prizes are gift vouchers for Born Pretty Store. These vouchers were purchased with my own money. Born pretty store has a range of polish related things such as:
Nail polish
Stamping polish
Stamping plates
Nail glitter
Studs and rhinestones
Fimo canes
Striping tape
And more! Born Pretty Store has free shipping so if you win you can use the whole voucher amount on goodies! I also have a 10% off Born Pretty Store code that anyone can use:
