HELP…
As some of you lovely folk already know I’m in the exciting (if not slightly daunting) process of becoming my own boss (again) as I prepare to go self-employed and utilise my skills as nail technician. Having dusted off my training certificates from over a decade ago, indulged in quite a bit of training & am currently waiting on the post man bestowing me with the last of my essential nail goodies for my clients to coo over – all that’s left to do is come up with a catchy, cute, classy or quirky name for my business.
Naturally, being the social media butterfly that I try so hard to be *sigh* I thought it would be a fabulously fun idea to involve you lovely lot being the ever supportive readers of Confetti & Curves into helping to choose a new name for my new nail room. Of course as a token of appreciation for bestowing me with your creativity, what could be better than a mini international giveaway for whomever comes up with the name I fall head over heels in love with. Fancy yourself up for to the challenge? Then here’s all you need to do…
Think of cute, sassy or just plain simple business name suggestions for a nail technician working from a nail room at home & enter your suggestion(s) in the comments below… it’s literally that simple! The person with my favourite name choice will win a gorgeous set of luxury nail polishes from Champneys delivered right to their door!
Giveaway T&C’s:
The more names you come up with the greater your chance is of winning so get those names listed *yaaahoo*
I’m open to quirky, classy, cute & simple suggestions – every idea is welcome!
Giveaway is open internationally & closes midnight Sunday 26th June 2016 so you’ve 3 full days to get thinking 😉
In the event of a tie break (where more than one person suggests the winning business name) those entrants details will be placed into a hat and a name picked at random.
Competition will be promoted on social media and is to include Twitter, Facebook & Instagram entries.
Entrants must be 16 or over
Winner will be announced on Friday 1st July (my birthday!!!)
How fabulous are these polishes?! I adore the Champneys range & I’m pretty sure you will too! What digits could resist a luxury spa inspired manicure using this lovely lot. Colours included are Nude, Pink, Wisteria, Plum, Mulberry & Clear.
Remember if you’re not in you can’t win 😀 all suggestions welcome!
Cheerio chums…

Good on you for being your own boss! You’ll be great (I only wish that you lived closer…so you could do mine!)
I don’t think I can beat the ‘name’ above. They’ve “nailed it!”
Although, I’ll have a think about it today and I’ll let you know.
Good luck with it all 🙂 xxxxx

Not sure if you know as I only found out recently; Royal Mail don’t let you send more than 3 polishes via the uk and you can’t send them abroad at all! I couldn’t find a courier who would take them from me without going into a business plan 👎🏽

Rachael I had absolutely no idea, why on earth is that?! How bizarre! I take it something to do with liquids via post as I can’t seem to order anything liquid via amazon. Hmmm. On a slightly more relieved note… thankfully a name has now been chosen and oddly enough the girl who has suggested it lives about 30 minutes away from me so won’t have any postal problems thank heavens lol Shall post all on Friday though 🙂 Thank you soooo much for letting me know about this as very much worth while for future reference. Major thumbs down for it indeed. Hope you’re keeping well lovely XXX
