My Questions For The Tagged
1. What/who inspired you to start blogging about nail art and where do you get your inspiration for nail art from?
I got my inspiration from SpellBinding Nails to start my own blog. I'd been reading hers for a while and decided to make my own and join in with the other bloggers. :)
2. Do you blog about anything other than nail art and how long have you been blogging for?
I have not blogged about anything else yet, I made it primarily for nail posts but if anything beauty related really caught my eye I would probably post that too. I have only been blogging maybe 2 months.
3. What is the top thing on your "wish list" you would want if you could be given one thing for free today?
That is really hard! I hve stuff on my wishlist I have to hunt down as they're not availble to the UK but I'd have to go with O.P.I La Boheme, I eBayed it and boy that baby has a price tag!
4. Favourite nail art technique? (Water marbling, stamping, gradient etc.)
Hmm free hand techniques with sparkly stones, I love that. I've tried stamping but i'm not good at it, i'll keep trying just need to stop buying polish so I can grab a few Konad special polishes lol
5. What are your favourite 3 nail polish colours & brands at the moment?
3! that's cruel ;) From my stash Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream, A England Galahad & Morgan Le fay(together they are lovely). Brands definately Barry M cheap and awesome, A England and O.P.I.
6. What are your hobbies other than nail art blogging?
I love crafts but I have lacked them recently. I like to draw, paint, bear making and I am going to try my hand at Amigurumi.
7. What software do you use to edit your pictures before uploading them to your blog?
Umm I don't. Photobucket and pop those suckers up there :p
8. What software do you use to watermark your photos before uploading them to your blog?
Again I don't. I never knew how but I found it out so I will probably go back and do that now.
9. How often do you paint your nails and how do you keep them in tip-top condition?

I do them about every 3 days. I use O.P.I nail envy, it's the only that works to keep my nails from splitting and breaking everyday.
10. What is your favourite design you've blogged?
My Leopard nails :)
11. What is your favourite film and favourite book of all time?

10. The Nail Art Hobby

Took me a while to complete this, i'm easily distracted. I've been googling amigurumi a lot and finding it quite intimidating but i'm still going to give it a shot. I really apologise to my taggee's if you've already been before :3

(If I accidently tagged you and you have more than 200 followers, I apologise. I tried really hard to make sure you were all under 200 but my connection has been awful lately and it's been a real pain checking everyones blogs so sorry about that!!)
