I have seen the Confessions Of A Nail Polish Addict tag a few times over the years (well it seems like it has been around for years) but I have seen in again a few times in the last couple of days. It seems like fun and I thought why not join in? It's something a little different (and fun I hope) for my blog and it may help you get to know me a little better.
1. What polish are you wearing on your nails (and toes) right now?
I'm currently wearing piCture pOlish's Mad Magenta and Totes, which I then stamped with Bundle Monster BM-S301(from the Festival Collection - I will have some swatches and a review of this collection soon).
Currently on my toes I am wearing Orly Scenic Route. Such a stunning colour. I am not a foot fan so I won't be sharing any feet pics. But I have included the swatch I have done previously for a colour reference (and no I don't normally have "matching" nails and toes).
2. What is the one nail product you can't live
without?
The most popular answer to this seems to be
cuticle oil. I'm going out on my own here and saying Seche Vite top
coat. It's fast drying and makes all manis super shiny! I go
through so many bottles of this stuff it's crazy. If this question
was asking for nail care products then I would definitely say cuticle oil - in
the pen form. I love those.
3. What is your favorite brand of nail
polish (mainstream and indie)?
Favorite mainstream brands are OPI and China
Glaze. Favorite indie would have to Femme Fatale Cosmetics. That
all being said there are sooooo many other amazing brands out there and I love
them all but these three are definitely the biggest brands in my collection.
4. What nail shape do you wear (short or
long)?
The answer to this really varies. It
usually depends on breakages (which luckily for me doesn't happen too often)
and laziness. I hate filing my nails. Is anyone else like
that? Anyway, for the most part I would say mid length and square (with
slightly rounded corners so they aren't sharp).
5. What is your go to colour?
Completely changes depending on my mood. I
usually reach for something bright and probably in pinks and purples more so
than anything else. I've actually recently done a post which goes through
my most used polishes over the last few years. You can check it out here if you are interested.
6. What is your favorite nail polish
texture?
Now this question is hard! I like them all.
7. What's on your nail polish wishlist?
I have a few things on my wishlist at the
moment. I'll say at the top of the list (read as this will be my next
purchase) is the soon to be released Palace Collection from Powder
Perfect. I also really want to try some of the stamping polishes from
BLoves Plates and OPI Alice Through The Looking Glass Collection (this
collection doesn't hit Australia until August so it will sit on my wishlist for
a little while). Oh and Glam Polishes latest collection. I think I
need that in my life too.
8. When do you normally paint your nails
(morning, afternoon or evening)?
I paint my nails in the evening once my daughter
is in bed. If I am swatching holos or have some spare time I will paint
my nails during the day but that isn't as often.
9. What's your top nail tip you swear
by?
I'm stuck on this one. I honestly can't
think of one. I may need to come back to this one at some point.
10. What nail polish do you regret
buying?
I wouldn't say it was a regret but Celestial
Cosmetics Orion is the most disappointing polish I have brought. I
remember seeing the swatches and drooling over it. I managed to grab one
for me and a friend and was so disappointed when it arrived. It was
completely different to the swatch that was used to advertise it.
11. Pastels or neons? Brights or darks?
This is purely based on what day you get me
on. I love neons and pastels, and pastel neons! I do definitely
prefer brights over darks but I do love a good dark polish in winter.
12. What is your holy grail white, black
and nude polishes?
Now this is easy. White is definitely OPI
Alpine Snow and black is Celestial Cosmetics Apocalypse. As for nudes I
tend to grab OPI My Vampire Is Buff the most.
13. What is the one brand you want to
try but haven't yet?
For stamping polishes Bloves Plates. For
regular polish I have no clue. Maybe something high end like Dior.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post. Let me know what is a brand you want to try but haven't yet. I am curious to know.
Tracey I love this post & I also posted this tag on my blog, how funny that we both re-discovered it at the same time :)
ReplyDeleteIt so great finding a little more about about the blogger behind the nails xx
Vicky @thepolishlist
Hi Vicky, I did see your post which inspired me to do my own. I have mainly seen the tag going around on youtube and debated doing it as a blog post but then read yours and loved it so thought why not join in too. It's always great learning more about other bloggers. We may need to find some more tags :)
DeleteI am not great about filing my nails and my favorite nail shape is square. Is your husband supportive of your nail hobby? Mine is mostly. I love learning more about you and your nails!!
ReplyDeleteHe is very supportive which is nice. I think he wishes sometimes that I did my nails less but he is still great about it. He was actually all for me just buying another set of drawers rather than destashing. Such a good man.
DeleteThat is awesome!! I am about to need another set of drawers also!!
DeleteYay for another set of drawers and growing room for more polishes. I am sure there will come a day where I will buy another set but that is on hold for now :)
