Blogger Appreciation Award

Hey!

Because of a little accident that happened today I can't post my nails, so I thought I could catch up on my award posts! I got this one from the lovely Laura from Clothes, Cosmetics and Chat! Thank you so, so much Laura!! I can't "officially" tag you back with this one, but you absolutely deserve it! 

1.) Thank the person who gave you the award with their blog link on your post.
2.) Answer the following 4 questions.
3.) Award the Blogger Appreciation Award to as many readers/supporters/followers as you want
4.) Let the blogger know you've just awarded them!

The questions (and my answers):
1. How long have you been blogging ? 
For a little bit more than a year now and I love it !
2. What are 1-2 reasons why you started blogging ? 
I had to think about that for a few minutes :P Mainly because I wanted to share my hobby with other people that are as crazy about nail polish as I am and because I thought I could improve my skills in Nail Art and even Nail Care. And as it turned out I learned a lot and I get a lot of inspiration and new knowledge about nail related things from other bloggers, so that's great :)
3. What types of blogs do you like to follow/read ?  
Anything that has to do something with nail polish of course! :D I love Nail Art blogs but also fashion and make-up related ones. ;)
4. What is one thing you'd like to improve on as a blogger/on your blog ? 
Nail Care, always! I have still a lot to learn in that department :P You can also never stop improving your photos! One of the most important things on a blog, right? I would also like to improve my posting frequency .. I really have to get used to schedule posts, when I know I won't have time for posting.

I appreciate many bloggers and I really don't know who already got it and who didn't but I tag these gorgeous and talented ladies:

- XOXO Alexis Leigh
Cuti-CLUE-les
Kaki @ Glitter Obsession
Ivana @ Ivana Thinks Pink
Taya
Fingers @ Fingers Polish Mania
Helga @ Color and Creativity
Ashesela @ Art Evolve
Jenni @ Gold Speck Nails

... and I'm sure I forgot someone! ^^

I have to stop writing now, because I type only with the right hand and it takes forever! :/

See ya, my lovelies! *muah*

11 Questions Tag - Part 2 & New Award!

New Award :)

Hey everybody! :)

The lovely Audrey from The Nail Affair tagged me some days ago with these awards :) Thank you soooo much! :D I´m just so glad, when I see that other people appreciate my blog, because I love writing it and it makes me even happier to see that other people enjoy reading it :) Here are the rules:
1. Thank the person that gave you the awards and link back to     them.
2. Post 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the love to 15 bloggers.
4. Let them know, they`ve received the awards.

So here are 7 things about me :) 

1. I can´t wear rings on my ring finger :D It´s just not working for me, so I wear all my rings on the middle finger. Unfortunately I have some rings that are a lil bit to small, so I have to wear them on my ring finger, but those 2-3 rings are the exception :) 

2. I have a cute cat named Kiara. She´s a Birman cat and 5 years old :) I love having conversations with her, cause she always responds :D I added 2 pics that show 2 sides of her great personality, the curious and sweet one and the "don´t piss me off"-side :))) 

3.  I loooooove cars, tuning, races, you name it. My dream car, which I hopefully will own one day, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 from 2006 or his older brother the Mustang Shelby GT350 from 1968 :D 

4. I´m about to become a med student, I just have to take one exam in a few days and I´m good to go :) 

5. I´m not only a polish-addict but I also can´t have enough jewelry :D This pic shows the part of my collection, which is actually organized....I have to come up with some ideas how to store my jewelry :)  

6. I love travelling! I would travel every country in the world, if I had enough money and time :)) My dream is to visit Bora Bora one day ....and many other places :) 

7. In my free time I like to draw...not only on nails, but also on paper :) I especially like to draw portraits, this one in the picture below is one of my first portraits I drew. Not perfect but : Skill comes with practice. :) 

That´s it! Now I have to tag 15 other bloggers, but I think almost every blog that I read, has done this tag, so.... if you haven´t done it yet, go ahead! This one is yours :) 

Have a great day! :)
