The Questions I was asked

when did you start Blogging?

Only in May of this year, I'd been looking at other blogs and thought it was a great way to keep track of what I'm learning

What is your favourite design you have posted? (link please)

I don't really have one, they're all like my babies!

what is on your nail wishlist?

Until recently it was nail art brushes but I finally bit the bullet and bought some. Model's Own Mirrorball polishes look amazing so probably that collection and bundle monster stamping plates

what is your number one nail painting tip?

Base coat. I never used to use it but some colours stain so much my nails were getting ruined, now I use it all the time and my nails are much healthier for it

how often do you paint your nails?

Every other day, sometimes every day depends on what I'm doing

Out of your whole collection, which is your Go To polish for a night out?

Any colour with a shatter top coat

how many polishes do you own

Around 50 I think

where do you get your nail art inspiration from

Other bloggers, youtube, magazines, fabrics, jewellery,cartoons, heck anything is inspiration

most expensive polish you have ever bought?

The most recent nail polish you bought? 

OPI's Excuse Moi
