I saw this survey on Embellished Nails, and thought it would be fun to do. Leave me a comment if you decide to do this! I would love to read everyone else's answers!
How many polishes do you have in your stash?
A little over 500 now
Which brand do you own the most of?
China Glaze. With Essie, OPI, Zoya, and Sinful Colors all close behind.
What colors do you own the most of?
Oh boy, probably coral-ish shades.
Do you have a color/texture you do not own?
Nope. lol.
What's the one polish you always pick up to lift your spirits?
Anything bright and easy to apply. I always am trying to use different polishes that are untrieds, so I don't really stick to one polish.
What polish do you keep looking at and wondering why you haven't gotten rid of it yet?
Klean Colors...I have been letting my daughter use them and they are starting to get pretty thick and goopy!
Franken any? or I'm nervous to try it?
I haven't tried. I admire others that come up with such beautiful polish, so I will just leave it to them :)
Do you franken for new/original polish ideas or franken for polish you won't be able to own?
If I did franken, it would be for fun, new shades that I wanted but couldn't find.
Go-to Base Coat?
Orly Bonder
Go-to Top Coat?
Seche Vite.
What's your sexiest polish?
Anything dark and sparkly
Stamping vs Free Hand?
I don't have much experience with stamping, so free hand for now!
Bling me, baby? or No bling for me, please!
Rhinestone mani's are so pretty, but I have never done one myself. But, I sometimes do like a super glittery mani, so it just depends.
I consider my nails basically nekkid if they don' t have some kind of design?
Not at all. I mostly only wear one color manis with no nail art.
My favorite plate/tool/technique?
Anything that I can use my striping polish or dotting tools! lol.
What I haven't tried and want to within the month?
I want to try the skinny striping tape.
The one elusive polish you want and can't seem to get?
Essie Greenport
What was the last nail related thing you bought?
China Glaze Summer Neon collection
How many nail related hauls have you bought in the last 7 days (on-line/in-person)?
Just one haul, and bought a couple polishes here and there.
If you've ever been on a no-buy, how long did it last? Is that what you planned?
I was on a no-buy for a couple months back in the winter because I didn't have a job. That was pretty much what I planned.
(and one question to grow on) Hobby? Addiction? Compulsion? Passing Fancy? Love?
Started as a hobby and is now definitely an Addiction/Compulsion. I can't just buy a few from a collection, I need the entire line. I don't know why. I may be getting out of hand.

ReplyDeleteThanks for participating and sharing! :)
Delete500! wow, that's awesome, I usually give nail polish away to friends as I buy more, no wonder I don't have any collections! x
ReplyDeleteI give dupes to friends or occasionally I will just buy them the color they like if it is something in expensive like China Glaze. I'm too much of a hoarder to give away my own polish. lol.
