Again With Awards!! (Liebster, Sunshine and Versatille)

Hello everyone!! How y'all doing?

Today I have a long and full-of-words post for you guys girls! So keep your eyes open and don't sleep!

I've been nominated by some oh-so-lovely girls for various awards like months ago but due to my uni projects and stuffs I really really couldn't even think about these awards. Beside some scheduled nail art posts for the challenges I'm taking part, some VicCopycat posts, review posts, and replying comments, I did nothing on my blog. Okay that's not really "nothing" but you got the point. I don't really have time to type these bunch of words.

So here and now I'll munch all the awards in one long post! Just bear with me :D

My answers to Nail Art and Nemo

1. What motivated you to start blogging?
Nothing in particular actually. I enjoy reading nail blog from the start and then I thought why not starting my own nail blog? So here I am now, still dreaming that one day I could be like my favourite nail bloggers!

2. What's your favorite design (of your own)?
Ummm it's a little hard. I'm not a kind of person who could take my own creation as my favourite. Well, I'm not that proud of my own work, still far from perfect :p But if I had to choose, I think I'll take these two.
(click the picture to see the full post)

3. Besides nail art, what else would you like to blog about?
I've never thought about anything else beside nail art before because nail blogging has taken a lot of my time. But I love knitting so much, so I think I'd choose knitting. Or crafting :p

4. What unexpected challenges did you have to overcome, either as a blogger or an artist?
Time management! I didn't expect that nail blogging would be this time-consuming.

5. Any lemmings right now? What are they?
I really really want an OPI Brazil Collection! And China Glaze Sea Goddess Collection!

6. Who inspires you as a blogger and an artist?
A lot of big nail bloggers do. Like Nailed ItChalkboard Nails, Coewless PolishWondrously Polished, etc

7. What's your favorite finish?
Matte!! Definitely matte! And I broke my heart when I broke my OPI Matte Top Coat few months ago :( So I bought a new one right away! lol

8. What nail care item or technique can you not live without? (anything from cuticle oil to dotting tools is fine)
I'd say my cuticle care products. I still can endure brittle nails than dry and wild cuticles. And my detail brush!! I just can't imagine doing nail art without a detail brush!

9. If you could make one subtraction and one addition to #31DC what would they be?
Wow, interesting! Let's see... Subtract the water marble and add the batik print!! (LOL I'm such a good citizen of Indonesia :p )

10. If you had to start a collection from scratch, how would you go about it?
I'd cry. LOL!

11. We all know that funky nails can draw the eyes of random passers-by. What's your favorite story of a stranger reacting to your nail art?
I remember that funny moment when I was in a shopping mall. I was talking to my dad that time and I always use hand motions when talking. Then one random passer-by, which is a girl, stopped between us, a bit behind my dad, and stared at my nails for the whole 5 seconds. Seriously I was shocked! But then she just walked away like nothing happened. I really couldn't hold my laughter afterward.

My answers to Leah from Fedora Harp

1. What's your favorite kind of manicure to make/wear?
I really love one stroke manicure but I don't think I'm really good at it.

2. When do you like to fit nail art into your schedule?
I most likely do my nail art at night.

3. We all know that funky nails can draw the eyes of random passers-by. What's your favorite story of a stranger reacting to your nail art?
I remember that funny moment when I was in a shopping mall. I was talking to my dad that time and I used hand motions when talking. Then one random passer-by, which is a girl, stopped between us, a bit behind my dad, and stared at my nails for the whole 5 seconds. Seriously I was shocked! But then she just walked away like nothing happened. I really couldn't hold my laughter afterward.

4. What other hobbies/interests do you have, other than nail art?
Knitting!! And reading (Sherlock Holmes!!)

5. How much time do you typically dedicate to nail art, and how often?
Twice a week for now, but when I have some more free time I also use it for doing some nail art. Well, let's say everyday :p

6. What nail art tool do you use the most?
My detail brush!

7. What inspired you to get into nail art?
First time I started to love nail art was when I accidentally watched one of the water marble tutorials by Simple Little Pleasures and I thought it was really cool. I mean, how did she do that?! That kind of nail art does exist? And then that video drowned me in this pretty obsession.

8. What is your favorite nail blog to follow?
Oh nooo, may I change the question? It should be "are" and not "is" :D I love loads of nail blogs, like Nailed ItChalkboard NailsCoewless PolishCraftynails, Brijit's Digits, Follow Gashin, Wondrously Polished, and soooo many more!

9. Which design (of your own) are you most proud of?
Same with my answer above, these two cutie babies :p
(click the picture to see the full post)
Vic and Her Nails: Our Cultural Heritage! (Batik - Mega Mendung)
Vic and Her Nails: 31 Day Challenge 2013 - Day 30: Inspired by a Tutorial

10. Besides nail art, what else would you like to blog about?
If only I could have 48 hours a day, I'd blog about knitting.

11. And for fun, if you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Does having a universal remote to control life like the one in "Click" count as superpower? Because it'd be superfun if I could pause the time, rewind, fast forward, change the language, etc. But I don't want to end up horribly wrong like in the movie :(

My answers to Katie from Lost and Found

1. How are you today?
Perfect and ready to rock!

2. Do you eat breakfast? What?
I don't really eat breakfast everyday. Sometimes I just grab a glass of water (that's not breakfast) or a glass of... nothing? LOL I really don't eat breakfast because it always makes me want to poop when I'm in class. I know yuck!

3. What's your top coat of choice?
Currently it's Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.

4. What do you watch on tv?
I don't really watch TV, but I love National Geographic Adventure's programs. Almost all of them. Just because I love traveling.

5. Can you cook? What's your best dish?
Well, not really, but I love cooking. I think my fried rice is good. I think...

6. Do you like to read?
Oooh yeeess, a lot!! I really love Sherlock Holmes, The Famous Five, Detective Conan a.k.a. Case Closed comic book, etc.

7. Do you have any special talents?
Ummm... I can sleep for more than 12 hours when I'm on holiday. Is that a special talent?

Fun facts (7 from Sunshine + 7 from Versatille + 7 from Blogger Friendship = 21 facts! Wow!):

2. I like to eat my snack using chopsticks when I don't want my hands getting dirty and greasy (mostly when I'm working with my computer)

3. I love watching Ryan Higa a.k.a Nigahiga's videos on Youtube! I'm such a loyal subscriber :p

4. I like watching make up tutorial videos but I never really put on a complete make up on my face. Just BB cream and mascara (and eyeliner sometimes)

5. I don't like to wear lipsticks. They're all sticky and taste (or smell?) weird. If I have to add color to my lips, I'll choose lip tint. Definitely!

14. I really love hot and spicy food. And when it comes to hot and spicy food, Indonesia is paradise!

15. I always get stomachache after filling my stomach with spicy food. But I just can't hold myself from eating. It's worth the pain :p
