2014 Crumpet Readers Poll - Your Best Discovery of the Year

Hi Goddesses



If I have a weakness, it's that I'm ALWAYS about the new.  New, and especially shiny shiny new, attract me like a moth to the flame, and I was interested to know what snagged your attention - and money - this year.



I'm glad to see you didn't just focus on polishes.  Let's start with the non-polish stuff first - (any comments from me are in blue)

Liquid Palisade - stay tuned, I may have found a cheaper alternative
Lady Crappo on Tumblr
Mont Bleu glass files
MoYou - sigh, yes, still yes
Nail Blogs Generally

Nail Vinyls - your most voted for thing, by far
Phoebe Moon's you tube videos and especially her Swatch Saturdays
Piggy Luv! (This lady has crazy talent I love her!)  Yup, I love and hate her in equal measure.   She's unbelievably talented

Polished to Precision Blog
squishy stamper - they rock!
Stamping

stamping decals!
The Mercurial Magpie blog - fabulous blog
The Tumblr nail art community!  I started a nail art blog on there earlier this year and have met several lovely girls through it.
Tk Maxx - a source of endless bargains!
