A few weeks back I was nominated for a Blog Your Heart Out award from Nailmanic and LeLack, thank you so much! I know I’m really slow with getting this published but I thought it was better late than never =)

The rules for this nomination are:
Answer 5 given questions and nominate 5 other bloggers with less than 100 followers. The nominees should also be told that they are nominated.

1. What/Who encouraged you to start blogging?
I started following a few beauty and nail polish blogs about four years ago, and I guess that sparked my own desire to show and write about my own experiences in the world of nail polish.

2. How do you choose what topic(s) to blog about?
That was pretty easy. I’ve been crazy about nail polish since I was a teenager, and since I’ve often gotten compliments on my nails and hands through the years I thought I would dare to show off my paws on the interwebz as well =) I do love makeup too, but I just don’t get around to blog as much about that as I’d like.

3. What is something that most people don’t know about you?
I’m quite fascinated by animals, and even dead ones. If I find a dead animal somewhere I might just pick it up and examine it if it hasn’t been torn into pieces. I guess a lot of people would find that macabre.. but that’s me.

4. What three words describe your style?
Geeky, black and weird!

5. What do you like to do when you’re not blogging?
I like to cuddle with my cats and fiancé, taking walks, photographing other things than my nails, watching TV series (a lot of sci-fi). I’ve also started to be more physically active as I need to loose a few pounds, and I think I’m finally starting to enjoy it.

Since I’m behind on my blog reading I’m not sure who’s already received this award, but here are my five nominees:

Gelic’ Nail Art
Kajalpennan
Make It Fab
Marinamake
Tennnails

When I went through my drafts I found this little post that had been forgotten. The sweet Sminkan gave me a Sunshine Award a couple of months ago, and it seems that I didn’t get around to actually posting about it. I’m too lazy to write this post in both Swedish and English so I hope I’m excused =)

The rules are the following:

• Thank the person who gave you the award
• Put the award badge on your blog
  
• Share 7 facts about yourself
• Nominate 5 or more blogs that have inspired you

First of all, thank you Sminkan! It means a lot to me since you’re one of the first bloggers that I started following a few years back, and it’s always a joy to read your posts and look at your wonderful photos.

So, here are 7 random facts about me:

1. I love the gothic Bleeding Edge dolls and figurines. I don’t have a big collection, but whenever the mood strikes me (and I have the money for it) I will order something from Ebay. They make the little goth girl in me happy =)

2. I’m insanely afraid of heights. My fear of spiders have gotten better over the years, especially since moving to a house, but I still can’t cope with ladders and other situations where I feel like I can fall to my death. This feeling occurs when my feet are about a meter above the ground, so I still have to work on that..

3. I don’t like cheese. I can  enjoy cream cheese and the more tasteless types of cheese on my sandwich, but when it comes to hot cheese sauces, or parmesan cheese I just want to throw up. Eww.

4. I’m really shy, but it’s slowly getting better. I try to push myself to meet new people whenever I can, but then we have that other thing that concerns actually talking to them =) I think my main problem is that I find myself boring and don’t have much to tell about my own life.

5. Cats are my favorite animal. No kidding? =) I have two wonderful tuxedo cats by the names Sisco and Lakrits (means licorice in Swedish). Sisco’s name is a mix between Cisco Systems (computer geekery) and captain Benjamin Sisko in the TV Series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (sci-fi geekery).

6. I absolutely love licorice! Sweet licorice, salt licorice, in all forms and shapes! It’s no wonder I named one of my cats after this tasty thing.

7. Stargate SG-1 is my top favorite sci-fi show. I just love all the main characters in that show.

When it comes to the nominating I’m pretty sure that most of the blogs I follow have gotten this award already. Anyway I can’t really choose so I nominate all you lovely bloggers out there that I follow, you’re all doing a wonderful job and are truly inspiring!
