Happy 5th Year Blogiversary GIVEAWAY!

Allo polish Pals!

Thank you for joining me on such an important post! I can hardly believe today marks 5 whole years of blogging for me. That's half a freakin' decade!

Ok, technically IthinityBeauty.com is six years old but today marks my first ever post. It took me an entire year of pondering if I could really blog. I had build it up in my head as a huge and mighty task and I was afraid of failing – not sure why now.

But starting my blog was one of the best personal decisions I've ever made. My blog has been there in times where I've wanted to give up, given me structure and routine while I've not been working. 

Its taught me discipline and taught me how to schedule and plan. My organisation skills..well, I didn't have any before.

I've met so many wonderful ladies and had some really fun opportunities. My blog has grown and I have with it, so many things have happened in the past five years, people coming, people going..but my blog has been constant.

I want to thank you all so much to those who follow me and my nail art journey and those who lurk quietly and keep coming back to see what I've created next. You are all a big part of what makes blogging so much fun for me, thank you!

I decided not to do any blogiversary nail art this year. Instead I thought I'd include just one piece from each year. With 822 published posts this was not an easy task at all!!  I'm going to end with the most meaningful and deep nail art I've ever created. I'd see that nail art broke the boundries for me, it showed me that not only could I paint something 'pretty' but it could have a real depth to it.

2012 - riiiight back to the beginning!

2013 - Attempting freehand designs.

2014 - Getting braver!

2015 - My first 'big' nail art design. I was so pleased with this at the time. My nails were too long!

2016 - Loving acrylic paints and creating full nail scenes and landscapes.

2017 - The most meaningful nail art I have to date. This one came at a time of loss and hope.

This final nail art was inspired by my self growth, over coming personal difficulties, letting go of things and accepting others into my life, ending a long term relationship and ultimately moving back home to England. People often see this nail art as sad, I guess because she's on the edge of the cliff and the balloon has gotten away from me but its completely the opposite. It was a hard time in my life and you were all so lovely to me.

So as a little thank you for all the support over the years I'm hosting a giveaway!

  

This giveaway will run from the 16th October until November 2017 

Open Internationally - ONE winner will be picked at random.

Winner will have 72 hrs to respond to the email or a new winner will be selected.

The Giveaway Has Ended - Who Won?!

Allo polish Pals!

Just a quick announcement for you this evening.. The giveaway has ENDED! Check below the jump to see who the lucky winner is.

IthinityBeauty's INTERNATIONAL Nail Art GIVEAWAY!

Allo polish Pals!

I hope you are all doing great today? Do you have any nice plans for this weekend?

I promised you guys a giveaway and that's exactly what we shall do! I wish I could do giveaway's more frequently but I'm really not in the financial situation to be able to... I just want to let you all know how much I appreciate all the support you guys give me with my nail art. While nail art is a passion and hobby for me it has led me to meet some really fantastic ladies both in the blogisphere and around the web.

I started my blog to give myself more purpose in my life, maybe that sounds kind of sad..but at the time of this blog's birth there wasn't much going on for me. I was in a relatively low place and lacked absolutely any confidence. While I am still not a terribly confident person I've seen myself grow and change so much since the start of IthinityBeauty. I've been through a lot, I've met new wonderful people, said goodbye to those who brought negativity and pain and said goodbye to those I never wanted to. While I always enjoyed nail art I discovered and found my love for freehand nail art, I feel like I've found my voice in real life and also that I have improved with what I do, be it how I paint or how I chose to organize my posting - how I organize my time generally (I used to get in such a stressed state trying to find things to post) I also feel like I've known some of you since the very beginning too.. ;') Thank you for continuing to join me on my nail art journey..  

Now onto the prizes! Don't forget this is open internationally, but you have to enter to be in with a chance to win!

1. Professional Kiko brush set in metal travel case – contains four brushes.
2. 1 nail wheel with 3D colourful diamonds for nail art.
3. 1 pack of 9 stencil stickers for nail art designs.

6. 1 sheet colourful rainbow feather water decals.

Congratulations To The Giveaway Winners!

Allo polish Pals!

How are you doing today? No nail art from me today since this is my.. 'in between day' but I thought I would let you know who won the giveaways I was hosting. I'd love it if you could all have won but sadly my purse would never allow that! Huge congratulations to the winners and I'd like to thank you all so much for taking part in all the fun. Hopefully we can do another one real soon! Read on to see who won!

[CLOSED] Born Pretty Store $15 Voucher Giveaway

Allo polish Pals!

How are you doing today? This is a sneak attack post since it is midnight (wha, the crazies?! I'm probably snuggled up in bed by now though) but... it looks like another giveaway! Since my regular post is every two days and that falls on today I'll be back at 3pm for some more visual and naily things - Come back later - but stay now, too! (Ohmygoodness, how needy does that sound? ) 

I can't break the 2nd day rule of my posting pattern. I can't, it breaks my system and then the clogs and coils fall out of my head. Then its all empty and useless up there. Lets move on..

In true celebratory spirits Born Pretty Store have very generously teamed up with me to do another giveaway! Two giveaways at once, what is this blogiversary-tom-foolery?! One lucky reader will win a $15 voucher to spend at The Born Pretty Store. Cool huh?

You know I am a huge fan of all the nail products I've been privileged enough to try from the store so far but don't forget you don't have to just buy nail art items if you don't feel like it. There are loads of other cool items in store, perhaps its time for a new phone case? Or some new jewellery? The choice is yours! Here are some of the nail art products I have tried and loved

This is a short giveaway! It only lasts for 10 days.

Since this is a virtual voucher entry is open internationally and the closing date is November 1^st 2015 at 00.00am so hurry and enter for your chance to win! Simply follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter below to enter.

Have fun, and good luck! See you all later for some more nail art.
