Hey guys, I’ve put together for you a series called “a
little blogging community.” Through my year and half years of blogging I have
been able to meet and read some blogs that have inspired me. If you scrolled
through my Insta feed you would be bombarded by mega popular bloggers and
fashion icons. I would definitely recommend you check out some of these popular
blogs but the point of this series is to spotlight blogs who haven’t made it
“big time” yet. There is a community of bloggers who blog no matter how many
views their little blog gets. Showcasing what we are most passionate about even if our family
members are the only ones who continually read our blogs. We put our heart and
souls into making every last detail perfect. So please show all the blogs
featured on my little series some love because all of them are absolutely
wonderful!
Everyone has probably seen this gorgeous gal on my Insta
feed or in the right hand column of my blog. She is my ex-roomie from last year
and I miss her dearly. Check out her Q&A then show her some love by
following her blog!
How did you come up with the title of
your blog?
I
thought long and hard. Honestly, I am an English lover and who can’t appreciate
a good ol’ alliteration? ...Is that nerdy of me to say?
When is your blog’s birthday?
April
17th 2014
What content do you publish on your blog?
Nail
art tutorials mostly! I won’t limit myself to just nails though. I love so many
things outside of nail art that I will have to include some of my other life
loves in my blog as well! As much as I want to share what I know about nail art
with everyone, my blog is more for me than anyone else so I will put what I
love into it!
What is your absolute favorite post that
you have published? Why?
I
have several favorites, but I guess if I HAVE to just choose one it has to be
my “Put Old Polish to Use” post. I like this one the best because I feel that
everyone has those old nail polishes that they used to love, but are just too
darned sticky to use! This post puts those old polishes to use in a really cute
and unique way!
(Prepare
for some self promotion ;)

What inspired you to start your blog?
Alex!
I loved her blog so much and read every post literally the second it popped
into my Facebook news feed. I decided to give it a try because what could be
more fun than combining all of my passions into one place?
If people look at your blog what is one thing
you want them to gain from it?
Purty
nails! No really. The really great thing about it is that it is a form of self
expression. Painted nails are the equivalent of an outfit in my mind. I want
people to express themselves in a not-so-common way! ...and if someone stumbled
onto my blog, decided to give it a try, and then fell in love with it as
well... That would be so AWESOME!
What is your current life situation?
(School, work, dreams, aspirations, etc.)
I
am currently a junior at Weber State University studying English teaching. I am
a part of the soccer team at WSU (#25) and I will be working at a call center
and tutoring at an elementary school. Once I get my degree, I plan to enroll in
beauty school and get my nail license! I hope one day to teach English and
coach soccer at whatever high school and I can do nails on the side... Pretty
much just for fun!
What is your favorite blog (besides your
own) that you read regularly?
As
I previously stated, I read your blog every time you post, but the other blog I
avidly read is “One Nail to Rule Them All”
Tips for other bloggers.
Post
whatever YOU want to post. Don’t just create something because you think it is
what others will like. Be unique and creative. Copy-catting isn’t fun
and oftentimes, weird is a lot more fun to read than cookie-cutter posts. If
you like it then there are definitely people out there with similar tastes that
will appreciate what you do.
On
that same note, don’t let others tell you that you aren’t good enough to be
writing a blog. I am not a professional nail artist or photographer, but I love
to do it so ya know what? I am going to do it... And so should anyone that
wants to!
