~Nail Polish Tag~

Hey everyone!

I was tagged by my good Blogger Friend Jenny, to answer the following questions all about nail polish!

1. How many nail polishes do you have?

Currently 18 polishes, I honestly didn’t think I owned so many!

2. What is your favorite brand of nail polish?

I haven’t tried all the brands out there, but my favorite so far is Essie!

3. Do you like crackle polish or do you hate it?

I think if done right, a crackle polish can have a neat effect on nails.

4. What was your first nail polish brand?

Hmm… I think that would have to be Sinful Colors.

5. If you are going to have a nail polish line, what are you going to name it?

~Sugar Me Sweet~ of course!

6. What nail polish colors do not compliment you?

I don’t own any, but I think really dark/black polishes would not look good on me.

7. What nail polish colors do compliment you?

Pastels and brights.

8. Name two of your best nail art friends.

The two nail arts blogs that I follow are Jems from Jenny and A Lovely Blush! Both are so talented!

9. What was the best nail polish gift that you ever received?

My mom got my two mini sets of Essie Polishes as an early Christmas gift last year!

10. Make a speech thanking the blogger who gave you this tag.

Thank you so much for tagging me, Jenny! I had a lot of fun answering these questions!

11. What is your second favorite nail polish company?

OPI, mainly because their polishes have such cute names!

12. Glitter or no Glitter?

Glitter all the way!

13. OPI, China Glaze, or Essie?

Essie!

14. When do you change your nail polish? 

Every few days, or when I’m in the mood for a new color.

15. What's your favorite color on your nails?

I don’t think I could pick just one color! It would be a tie between pastel pinks and purples!

16. Darks or Brights?

Brights!

17. What are you wearing on your nails right this moment?

Essie’s Nice is Nice. A gorgeous pastel lavender!

18. Matte Nails--In or Out?

I’ve never tried matte polish, but I’ve seen some people who can really rock the look!

19. French Manicure?

Looks great on some people, but I have short nails so I stick to solid colors.

20. Favorite Winter Color?

I wear all colors year round.
