LOL
Who are...Figured I should answer this myself.. LOL<br /><br />Who are you? Ren/Kat Renkat! :P<br /><br />What do you do/how do you spend your days? <br />Right now...writing grant applications and being driven crazy by the first month of grad school. Two weeks ago? Swatching nail polish and playing video games.<br /><br />How long have you been wearing nail polish? <br />For years! (Only started following blogs in the past couple of months. I started following makeup blogs/vloggers about 1.5 yrs ago.)<br /><br />Do you keep your nails long or short? <br />Both. I chopped them down recently because my hand collided with my filing cabinet, but there's usually length to them.<br /><br />Do you do your own nails? <br />Yes. I've had acrylics only 3 or 4 times in my life and while I love the look of them, they're expensive, often bad for my nails and unnecessary (for me). Plus there's always the risk of infection etc.<br /><br />What do you do while your polish is drying? <br />Watch TV, sleep (very carefully!) and I've even played video games.<br /><br />Has your polish ever matched your car, computer or cell phone? <br />I have never owned a car but my ManGlaze in Fuggen Ugly (with topcoat) is pretty close to the gunmetal shade of my bf's car...which is also "mine" according to him.<br /><br />FAVOURITES<br />Brand(s): China Glaze<br /><br />Polish remover: Whatever is cheap... I have no loyalty.<br /><br />Basecoat: I don't use one<br /><br />Topcoat: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails with Nylon clear polish (no. 95)<br /><br />Colo(u)r(s): I love blue everything but lately I've been a sucker for green.<br /><br />Finish: creme<br /><br />Nail art (decals, konad, air brushing etc.): I love sticker decals. (Classy ones, of course!) Konad, when it's co-operating is lovely as well.<br /><br />Go to colour for cheering you up: not sure I have one. Some shades of fuschia, perhaps.<br /><br />Go to "sexy" style/finish/treatment: French manicure LOL... no seriously, dark vampy, jelly cremes.<br /><br />Work appropriate manicure: I'm a grad student...nothing is inappropriate LOL<br /><br />Manicure tool you can't live without: metal nail file<br /><br />Polish trend you'd love to see back: I've only paid attention to trends very recently. I'm not a trendy person.<br /><br />Polish trend you wish would die: "Ghettoes"<br /><br />Share a home mani tip! <br />I use the tip of a metal nail file to "drop" remover onto my skin/into the space between my nail and my skin to remove excess polish.mKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415558072378624128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-34102049966749126632009-09-16T03:57:38.357-07:002009-09-16T03:57:38.357-07:00Who are you? augusta
