Nomination for Best Blog Award

OMG IM SO EXCITED!!! I have been nominated by Lily Louise from Lily Loves Louise!!!! BEYOND STOKED!!! The rules for this award are to answer the questions asked of you by the blog that nominated you, then you need to nominate up to 20 other blogs with less than 200 followers and ask 11 questions of them!







Questions:
1. If you were trapped on a desert island, what would be the one beauty product you couldn't live without? Without a doubt would have to be my Savex Coconut Lip Butter.

2. What nail polish is your single favorite, above all others? Would have to be Gelish Red Roses. My most favorite nail color is always red and its such a nice color.

 3. What is your favorite least-known beauty tip? Always get your eyelashes tinted. Makes it so that you barely have to even put mascara on.

 4. How many siblings do you have? None. Im an only child. Got it right the first time :)

 5. What inspired you to start blogging? Another blog, a life experience? I work on a minesite. After work there is very little to do besides drink lots or go to the gym so I started doing my nails and then it kind of just snowballed as friends kept asking to see what I had done now and I was like I will start a blog so you can see.

 6. What is your favorite color? Red. Without a doubt RED.

 7. Have you ever felt disheartened in your blogging experience? No. I have been really lucky so far. Im a member of Aussie Nails Monday and Aussie Nails and every single one of the girls on there is just the nicest and they all understand why I will never be able to work a normal job :)

 8. Who is your secret (or not so secret) girl crush? Kate Upton. OMG SHE HAS THE BEST BOOBS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!

 9. How old were you when you fell in love for the first time? I would have been 15 and going for a job interview at Chicken Treat (A WA version of Red Rooster) and he was walking out from his interview. We both got the job :)

 10. What is your most lusted after beauty product at the moment? I am almost out of my Chanel No 5. Its like my second most NEEDED beauty thing ever and I am going to just go nuts and buy the whole set. Lotion, Shower Gel, Perfume, EVERYTHING.

 11. If you were going to share one secret with your readers that no-one else knew about, what would it be? Not really a secret but I used to chew my nails and then decided that was no good as I wanted nice nails so then I started picking my cuticles when I was stressed instead. SUCH A BAD HABIT!!! I am getting better but you can always tell my emotional state by how bad my cuticles and fingers are.

Polish Information

Hi All,

Just a quick email to let you know I have finally uploaded my polish spreadsheet.

I have saved it in a drop box file so follow the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4amkt2thmomdupq/NailMad85%20Nail%20Polish%20Listing.xlsx

I will keep updating it as I go so check it as you can.

Thanks,

Nail Foils Part Two

As promised this is some photos of my current selection of nail foils. Most I have bought from the same shop on eBay (Shardee Designs) but there is a few random ones. I am working on a spreadsheet of all of my polishes and including links to the swatches and I will be actually swatching these on the swatch sticks soon too so more photos to come. Friggen love these things!!!!

Challenge No 30 - Inspired by A TUTORIAL

I have wanted to do this nail for soooooo very long. On a nail night with the amazing Miss N we decided to give it a go!!! I mixed all sorts of polishes to get the colors I wanted. TOOK US FOREVER!!! But so cute. This is the tutorial I worked off of to start with and we modified it from there :)

I originally found this on Pinterest but you can see more awesome work by the designer of my tutorial here:

Challenge No 29 - Inspired by THE SUPERNATURAL

Can you tell im slightly over this challenge. Seriously didnt consider how long this would take since im using Gel Polishes. They last for a good week!!! Anyway. This is somehow related to the Supernatural. Not sure how but its going under here anyway :) Shellac Hollywood with a seriously cool foil.

Challenge No 27 - Inspired by ARTWORK

If you google search Art Deco Posters you will come up with a million and one options. They all have many of the same designs in them. This nail is just a really simple one. Gelish Tiger Blossom with Mash - 41  stamped over it in one of my Cherimoya gradient polishes. One of my favorite nail looks to date. Just simple and classy but still nice and bright!!!!

Challenge No 26 - Inspired by A PATTERN

Today I am inspired by a pattern. Seriously what pattern is better known than Paisley Print!! It comes in every single color and shape known to mankind!!! I decided to do another ombre nail underneath. This is Shellac Hollywood with Spectrum Lenore Brushed on. I then stamped over it with one of the Bundle Monster plates in Konad Silver.
