Hello everyone!
Todays post is the start of a new feature on my blog - International Nail Friends!
This feature will showcase a host of nail bloggers and let you get to know them all a little bit better, and also give you a chance to follow some new blogs run by lovely people.
So on with week 1....
Name -
Vedrana
Facebook Link -https://www.facebook.com/CajkineKandzeISveNjihoveBoje
What
country are you from? - Serbia
Background information about yourself - I’m
what in my country is known as an eternal student. I study Turkish language and
literature. When I’m not blogging or studying I make beadwoven jewellery and
collect rocks and minerals. My favourite labradorite can be seen in several
photos on my blog.
What
got you interested in nails/nail art? I used to bite my nails till I was
10-11 years old and I actually stopped biting them in order to have something I
could paint. Some years ago I completely neglected my nails and got back in the
nail polish game after I discovered a nail polish lovers’ community at the first
and largest Serbian forum for women. The members’ photos and discussions
motivated me to start caring about my nails again.
Why
did you decide to start a nail blog? At first I wanted to keep a record
of my experiences with the polishes I tried because I tend to forget why I
liked/disliked something and afterwards I realized I could
actually help people
with my pics and reviews and that I can showcase local brands to international
audience.
Favourite
nail post of yours It is hard for me to pick one now that I have written nearly
300 posts. My first splatter mani is among my favourite posts because I don’t
do nail art, but something as messy as splatter appeals to me, I liked the
finished look and I didn’t make as big a mess as I thought I’d make. The polishes
I used are Don Juan 101 for base and Golden Rose 262 and Golden Rose 287 for
splatter. I used regular drinking straw to make the pattern all over my nails
(and hands). Applying hand cream made cleanup easier.
What
is your favourite nail polish? It’s a tie between Color Club
Revvvolution and Rimmel Lycra Pro Fierce Cherry.
What
is your favourite nail art technique and why? I don’t
know if gradient counts, but gradient. I dread nail art because I’m not
talented for it and I don’t have much patience. Gradient is simple and fast and
it’s hard to mess up so it is perfect for me.
Does
anyone else in your life share your passion for nails?
One of my best friends caught the bug from me and she is turning into a real
aficionado, and my best guy friend (straight, I have to add) actually asked me
to do nail art on his nails on several occasions and he wore it proudly every
time.
What
are some of your favourite nail blogs? I prefer
Serbian blogs because we mostly write about locally available polishes. Some of
my favourite Serbian blogs are:
And some of my generally favourite
nail blogs are:
Do
you take part in any nail art challenges or competitions etc?
I haven’t taken part in any challenges yet, mostly because I don’t have time,
but there were some I’d like to have taken part in. I have successfully taken
part in two local nail art contests.
What
are your favourite brands of nail polish to use?
One Coat line of polishes by local brand Don Juan, Flormar polishes, China
Glaze and OPI.
In
your nail polish collection what shades do you have the most of?
Red, with purple as a close second.
How
many bottles of nail polish do you own? At the
moment 206.
Anything
else you would like to add… I’m looking forward to discovering
any new nail polish related blog, nail polish brand, tip, technique... I’ll try
everything, although I maybe won’t write about it.
That's all for this post guys!
But keep an eye out for another post in a few days time!
Thanks for reading!
This is great idea, i love it.
