Liebster award January 2013

Anna from Anna's polish addiction nominated me for a Liebster award. So the rules are: I have to say 11 random things about myself, answer her 11 questions {below} and then nominate 11 other people (with less than 200 followers) and ask them 11 questions. A big thank you to Anna for nominating me, click here to check out her blog! And a MASSIVE apology for being so slow to posting this! It was hiding in my draft folder for weeks and weeks and weeks :s

1. How many polishes do you own?
I own around 85 bottles of nail polish plus a few extra that I have brought on sale and put aside for gifts. 

2. What's your fave nail art technique?
I love stamping and I have recently started doing 'dotticures' so they are a close second since I haven't quite perfected them yet!

3. What's your favourite brand of polish?
Sinful Colors 

4. How often do you paint your nails?
At the moment I am doing them everyday because of the 31 day challenge but I prefer to wear a nail polish for a minimum of two days before removing it (or adding another polish on top, great for hiding tip wear). 

5. Do you use a base coat?
Yes always! I have just stated using Sally Hansen's 'Diamond strength hardener'  as a base coat and jeez, it really does harden your nails! I am really happy with it, works great as a base coat. Sally Hansen also have a combined base and top coat that I have used. 

6. What's the most you'd spend on a polish?
I am ashamed to say I have spent AUD$20 two times on polish (Butter London's Fishwife and Siw by Make-Up Store) but normally I would limit myself to $6-$10 per bottle but usually only spend less than $5 on polish. There are lots of great brands that sell polish for under $5, for example Sinful Colors, Ulta3, Essence....etc

7. What's the best fancy dress outfit you've ever worn?
I have only worn one fancy dress outfit so I guess that's it! I wore my black formal dress which had a high-low hem with big chunky boots and a black wig (I was a goth if you didn't realise). 

8. What's your favourite film?
The movies I love watching are the Fast and the furious movies, Titanic and Just Like Heaven. I'm sure I have forgotten heaps of good ones......

9. Do you have any hobbies?
Reading, watching TV, blogging ('doh) and shopping. 

10. Do you have any tattoos?
No 

11. Describe yourself with 3 words
Unique, Conscientiousness and random.

Eleven random things about me
