Top 10 Bloggers 2011 – Nos 6 & 5
Hi
Goddesses
Today I bring
you the halfway point of my favourite blogegrs of 2011. Remember these are MY personal favourites,
and the 10 people I would read if I literally only had 10 minutes spare.
Number 6 –
Rebecca Likes Nails
Rebecca
came to my attention very early on in my blogging career when she created
something called a “franken”. I had no
idea until then that frankens existed and BAM – just like that she opened a
whole new world to me. Added to that,
the franken she created – Rebecca Likes Cupcakes – was full of lilac wonderness
and truly gorgeous, and so my love of all things Rebecca was born.
Rebecca
doesn’t blog that often – a couple of times a week – but what she does is
always original. She’s good at wanting
to know what happens if you mix this glitter and that glitter, or layer this
and stamp that.
Nothing
that she does looks terribly difficult or hard to think of – but if it were
really WERE that easy, we’d all be doing it already!
Number 5 –
The Polishaholic
Drum roll
please for the swatching Queen!!
Jen’s blog
is a masterpiece. Every polish is
perfectly applied, every photo is stunning, there’s no extra guff or fluff – it
just tells you what you want to know.
Now, before
I go any further, let me clarify this, because I know it will get asked. I have chosen Jen, but you won’t find Trace Face or
Scrangie on my Top 10 List.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Really. Only because if you have limited time, you
can’t really afford to spend it looking at 3 almost identical blogs. For the most part, each of those 3 are
swatchers. They don’t really do art, and
whilst Jen does the occasional splatter and Trace has been dabbling a bit too,
primarily you go to them for swatches.
And I decided I only wanted 1 pure swatcher in my Top 10.
So why did I
pick Jen above the other 2? Well, altho
Scrangie IS a god, 2 things annoy me about her – she has no Facebook page, and
she always puts her watermark right across the centre of the photo. Totally understand why she does it, but
visually it just ruins it a little bit for me.
Jen and
Trace are very similar in what their blog does, but I have found that it’s
usually Jen who posts swatches of what I want to see WHEN I want to see them,
and that more than anything, is why she stands out for me. When a new collection comes out, I want to
see it swatched STAT lol, and Jen comes up trumps on that.
So sit
back, and enjoy some of her masterpieces, and the 2nd most famous hand pose in the blogosphere ….
I am hoping
that tomorrow I may have the next instalment, but it’s highly possible it will
be after Christmas, as I’ve a trifle masterpiece to make tomorrow.
Hope you’ve
enjoyed, and feel free to comment, argue, discuss and disagree J
Festive
