The Liebster Award Take 2!!

Hi there you guys!! I was tagged by the very kind Gelic Nail Art and of course I'm so thankful to her and you should all go check out her blog!! I've done this before (the reason take 2 is in the title haha) but there's no reason not to do this again as it's a lot of fun and finding out more about different nail bloggers is always interesting. Here's take 1 of this award so you can get the lowdown on what happens here :)

1. The classical question; how many polishes do you have in you stash?

...103? Yeah that's a number. Not including topcoats and base coats (I have 6 kind of). Or the de-stash pile (22, aren't you proud of me? :P) that's going to be given away. And is it just me or do people having troubles counting when it comes to polish. I just lost the ability to count and kept confusing my numbers :/

2. Is there an amount of polishes that's enough or are you collecting until you're happy?

Ah this is connected to the last question. I don't have an amount so the collecting 'til I'm happy is probably the case. But for certain colours I have, the current number I have is the max. of that colour I'll ever own (unless something crazy happens). But I'm very selective when it comes to new polish, I always try to convince myself that I don't need it if I can. My wishlist is short the majority of the time (currently it's mostly indie glitters aka beautiful things) so I can't imagine my stash having a colossal amount of polish at any stage. 

3. What was your first polish bought or given?

Before my nail polish craze one of my friends bought me Barry M Lemon Ice Cream (my first Barry M!!) but the first polishes bought by me was (I think) a bunch of Barry M's, specifically Blue Moon, Mint Green, Strawberry Ice Cream and Blueberry Ice Cream.

4. What kind of nail art technique do you enjoy the most to see/do?

Freehand is my personal favourite and freehand work is probably my favourite to look at on other blogs too. 

5. When you buy nail polish do you prefer buying them from a physical shop or online?

For mainstream brands it's physical shops no contest. I hate waiting for polish and when you buy it from a physical shop it's there for you to use immediately. But I love online shops for indie polish (as that's the only place you can buy it). 

6. Which are your favourite physical/online shops?

Boots, TK Maxx, Superdrug, I would include some other kind of shop but I only buy nail polish nowadays.

Etsy, Harlow & Co (love browsing there, they've got their site layout perfect) and Amazon.

7. Is there any nail polish/nail art trend/nail length which you think stands out in your country?

I don't really know about nail art trends or nail lengths (it depends on the people) but Barry M. Every British girl owns a million Barry M's (and if they don't they should!! :P).

8. Do you paint your nails anywhere or do you have a special place? If so, where?

I can paint my nails anywhere but I do really only paint my nails in one place which is my study in front of my laptop (which trust me can be dangerous, I had a nail polish remover situation once but thankfully it ended with no damage).

9. If your blog wasn't nail related, what would it be about?

I thought about blogging about my life, but lol that would be boring and I would get tired of it quickly. I'd love to have some kind of awesome DIY arts and craft blog but I've not even ventured into that area so a blog about it would be silly. Or a music blog, I could do that. 

10. Do you ever colour co-ordinate your outfit to your nails or the other way round?

Never, I don't care about matching if anything I love to not match and instead clash. Maybe in a blue moon I'll match my nails to my outfit or something. 

11. Do you think there's a nail colour/nail art that doesn't suit long/short nails?

No, but I think some nail art designs require a certain nail long for it to work best. For example some of the character nail art I do, they definitely look best on longer nails.

Honestly I tag anyone who hasn't done this, so if you're reading and you haven't done this, go for it!! Actually even if you have done this and want another go like me, I linked my 1st time doing this tag above and I have questions there. 

Thank you for reading this little it about me and I hope you have a great day!! :)

The Liebster Award!

Oh hello there guys!! I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Dli from I'Art Nails which thanks too much that's so awesome!! This tag is for blogs with less than 200 followers to get some more exposure, which is always great. So the way this tag works is:
1. You answer 11 questions set by the blogger who tagged you
2. Nominate 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers
3. Provide 11 questions for the bloggers you tagged
4. Link back the blogger who tagged you and notify your nominees you tagged them!!

And I'll guess I'll get right in and start answering!!
1. If you had 3 wishes what would they be?
More wishes? Haha no that's probably the standard answer to this question. That my family and friends will always be happy, that I'll be able to achieve anything I want and that I'd never be able to worry or care about stupid things (I guess that's technically 2 in 1).

2. What beauty item(s) do you carry around in your bag?
I have to say I'm not very into beauty but I do carry round Benefit They're Real mascara (I splurged once), Benetint (the free sample from a magazine) and various lip products like the Clarins Natural Lip Perfecter in Rose (another free sample), oh but I'd really like the Bourjois Crayon in Red Sunrise, cause I think red lips are really pretty. Haha I say I'm not into beauty and I write all these products :P

3. What song would be the soundtrack to your life?
Just one?? The Camel Song by Clara C cause I just love everything about that song. And it's upbeat so that's probably accurate for my life.

4. If you could be any character from a book or film, who would you be?
Oo this is a hard one, any female protagonist who falls in love with a perfect guy? Or a monster from Monsters University? The second one was probably weird, but the Scare Games look amazing.

5. What is your favourite perfume/fragrance?
Harajuku Lovers Summer Cuties Love, that scent is so fun and fruity, I love it. Fruity scents are my favourites. Other favourites are Hollister So Cal and Benefit Laugh With Me Lee Lee but I don't own either cause they're too expensive but they smell AMAZING.

6. What has been your biggest beauty/fashion faux pas?
I'm not really one to speak cause I probably have accidentally been a faux pas (yes actually been the faux pas), but I'm not a fan of raccoon eyes, foundation not matching skin colour and caked on makeup. Thankfully I haven't done any of mentioned things, fashion wise I can't think of many but as long as it's not outlandish I think it's pretty much fine.

7. Natural or acrylic nails?
Always natural!! I've never used acrylic nails and I don't think I'll be using them in the near future.

8. If you could have a lifetime supply of makeup, what brand would you want it to be?
This would be wasted on me but I could give some to people ^_^ I really like The Balm as their products seem cute and good quality (not that I own any). Or Tarte!!

9. If you could have a date with any celebrity, who would it be?
Well I think celebrities aren't always who they portray themselves to be. But Josh Hutcherson. It has been Josh Hutcherson ever since Bridge to Terabithia came out 6 years ago. Just Josh Hutcherson, I promise I'm not a crazy fangirl (I fangirl over other things). I could list off a bunch more actors cause I admire them so much but I won't, there's only meant to be one answer right? ;)

10. If you could invite 5 people to a dinner party (dead or alive), who would it be?
Norah Jones, Elizabeth Ziman (from Elizabeth and the Catapult), Alison Krauss, Ben Rector and Lady Antebellum (even though that's 3 people, urgh I fail at answering questions, they seem like lovely people). Basically some of my favourite artists, I think they'd all have great stories.

11. Why did you start blogging?
I wanted somewhere to document the 31 day challenge, and I ended up continuing cause I loved it.

Here are my 11 questions:
1. Which polish started the nail craze for you?
2. Top 3 colours of polish?
3. Favourite genre of book?
4. Website most addicted to?
5. Favourite nail art pattern (e.g. animal print, geometric etc.)
6. Favourite nail polish brand?
7. Favourite make up brand?
8. Current music you're loving?
9. Current favourite app?
10. Brand of nail polish you wish you had access to?
11. Film you really want to watch?

Ok time for me to tag people, AHHHHH I don't have names coming into my head who haven't done this or have less than 200 followers, I once again feel terrible (sorry people I could tag :/). But I have some bloggers I will tag:
