Secret Santa NAILS Survey 2014

[tulosai]

Hi Santa!!!! The absolute MOST IMPORTANT thing to me is that YOU HAVE FUN. I am pretty much a nail polish whore so there is no chance at all I'm gonna be disappointed.  Similarly my list on elfster (while consisting of things I would be thrilled to have) is meant more to give you a taste of what I like than to be like BUYYYY MEEEE THISSSSS.

Okay with that out of the way!!!!

• What are your favorite brands?  Essie, Opi, Indies.
  
• What brand do you have the most of in your collection?  Julep.
  
• What brand do you not want?  Honestly I am not picky.
  
• What brand would you like to try?  Indies? I have some already but can always do with more.
  
• What colors are your go to colors? Is glitter a color? In all seriousness I have go-to finishes more than go-to colors. Glitters or glitter bombs, Holos, Jellies, Duochromes, Thermals... you get the idea.
  
• What colors do you avoid? Really and always? None. But I will say that I do tend to reach less for yellow, orange, brown. I have a lot of 'normal' reds already so don't need more but wouldn't object to some funky reds (either in terms of color or in terms of finish).
  
• Is there a tool or something other than a polish that you are looking to add to your collection? Yes!.How nice of you to ask!! So basically the truth is I have way too much polish and while of course I am going to be so happy to get even more polish because, well, junkie, the truth is that I'd be pretty thrilled with a box that is more handcare and footcare and nail accessories centric than just polish centric if this is possible for my Santa (if not, really, do not worry, I will forget I ever wrote this when staring at the amazing pretties I promise). But yeah, I'd love nail wraps, nail decals, dotting tools, hand or foot masks, hand or foot creams, and any other non=polish but tangentially related things your brilliant mind can come up with!!!
  
• What is that one polish you have been wanting but just haven't bought so far? This is really a long shot but I'd DIE to get Opi's Black Spotted.
  
• How would you describe your style? My nail style is pretty out there, unlike my clothes and makeup which tend to veer 'classic'.  With nails it is like give me ALL the crazy and I will let it explode on my nails YAY.
  
• Would you rather have a bunch of minis or one or two full sized bottles? Minis for sure, but the most important thing is that my Santa is having fun.
  
• What are your feelings on prepared/unsealed samples? They are not a problem for me.
  
• What kind of extras would make your day? A bit of a weird one for the nails santa I guess, but I love BOOKS! Give me all the books! And I am also a sucker for handmade things, local things, and, well, candy.
  
• Are you okay with receiving gently used items in your package? (NOTE: these will not count towards the $20 spending total - its just a way to be extra generous and destash, since some ladies have items they only use once and decide they don't like and want to pass on). So much yes.
