An Award!

Oh my goodness! An award for me? Thank you so much!

Thank you Chop Suey and Loz! This was a lovely surprise from my vacation!

For those of you might not be aware of what this is (I was not aware until about 10 minutes ago) it is an award for up and coming bloggers. 

The Rules:

• You have to state 11 random facts about yourself
• You have to answer the 11 Q’s asked by the person who nominated you; and
• You have to tag 11 new blogs that have less than 200 followers and ask 11 Q’s of your own, and no tag backs!

Alright! So here are 11 lovely facts about myself:

1. I love baking cookies, cupcakes, and anything sweet.
2. Video games are my thing. Especially games like Soul Calibur.
3. I pretend to be Sailor Moon when no one is watching.
4. I eat pretty healthy for a college student, but sweets and desserts are my weakness.
5. I am a Navy brat.
6. I lived in Japan for about 3 1/2 years. I miss it so much.

9. When no one is home, I belt out singing in my loud soprano voice.

Whew! I had to think about some of those. Anyway, here are the questions from Chop Suey of Chop Suey Nails!

1. What is the manicure you are most proud of? It would have to be my manicure for the "inspired by your country" day of the Take Two challenge. Although it was one of the simplest manicures I've done, It was one of the cleanest manicures I've done ever. I did not have to clean up my nails since they were clean already. 
2. What is your favourite style of polish - ie glitter, creme, jelly, holo etc My favorite style of polish... is all  of them! Don't make me choose! Please? I love them all! They're my babies!
3. Who are your favourite nail bloggers? Some of my favorite nail bloggers are Nailed It NZ, The Scholarly Nail, and Nail Polish Wars.

6. How long have you been blogging for? I've been blogging since September 30th of 2012.
7. Why did you start your blog? I wanted to share my love of nail polish with other. I wanted to document what I have too so that I don't buy doubles. I want to find people who enjoy it as much as I do. 
8. If you had to choose only ONE beauty product, what would it be? Nail Polish. 
9. What is your favourite style of music? I love all types of music, but country music is something i prefer just a little bit more.
