Thank you so much to jo.frugal from Frugal for tagging me for these rewards :) If you haven't been to Frugal I suggest you become a follower because she has a lovely blog which deserves much love and combines two of my favorite things - nail polish and movies! In fact... I don't know about your mani routines but I actually always watch movies when I'm doing my manis - that's how I know how long they take! LOL.

Seven facts about me:
1) I HATE PICKLES
2) I'm a yoga enthusiast. I've done a yoga marathon that's lasted 4 hours!
3) I could eat Japanese food EVERYDAY
4) My favorite colour is yellow because the other girls in class chose pink
5) Despite the fact I love bacon, I didn't have it in my fridge for 9 months
6) I collect comic books
7) I'm a big tea snob and have taken classes to become a tea sommelier

For this one I'm cheating a bit LOL. Check out the 10 things that make me happy here in a previous post :) It has pictures! It's worth it ;)

Oscar Caliber Nails Did

If its one awards show that I'm always going to watch its the Academy Awards (besides the Tony's but I always miss it :S). I LOVE the Oscars, as much as I HATE the Oscars. Let's face it, in the end its all about politics - Avatar for best film? Cmon!

Anyway I lucked out since there were 10 films nominated in the Best Picture category I could actually accomplish 10 different nail art on each finger about each movie!

So here is my right hand:

And here is my left!










Okay now to break it down...

Precious

Have you seen this movie? If not then I HIGHLY suggest that you do. Its so powerful and both leading ladies completely deserve to be nominated in their categories.
So for this I used Opi's Thrill in Brazil with a black nail art pen.





Avatar

WHY IS THIS MOVIE NOMINTED FOR BEST FILM? I hate you.

I used nail art pens in black, yello, blue and white. Essie Midnight Cami and China Glaze Sexy in the City



District 9

There has been many mixed feelings about District 9 but I just genuinely love this movie. I think Sci-Fi's do social commentary the very best and D9 was awesome.

I used nail art pens in black, silver and white and China Glaze Liquid Leather



Up

Such a beautiful and touching movie. I really wish I didn't fall asleep in the theatre the first time seeing it LOL. Seriously though its a must see.

I used nail pens in blue, red, purple, green, orange, pink and black with Rimmel Torrid and China Glaze Lemon Fizz

Inglorious Basterds

Ugh, I have a love/hate relationship with Tarantino. I didn't love this movie but I didn't hate it. Waltz absolutely deserves his nomination (now win!) for this though.

I used art pens in black white and red

Up In The Air

I didn't want to watch this movie, but I was doing work orders at work and put it on in the background (I love dual screens). Its actually REALLY good and Clooney is just so sexy in that aging gracefully type of way.

I used Nubar LLC with a black art pen



The Hurt Locker

Man did I try to watch this movie..I'm just not a war movie girl. But I did hear that the movie was excellent and I totally hope that Cameron loses to Bigelow for best director. SNAP

I used OPI Curry Up Don't Be Late, Nubar Forest, nail art pen in khaki and Nubar NV2



An Education

I fell asleep 5 minutes into this movie. Ben ended up fast forwarding through the whole thing. Here is the jist: girl wants education, meets man, has sex with man, fails at education, The end.

I used art pens in black, white, red and silver and China Glaze Lemon Fizz



The Blind Side

As good as this movie was, Sandra Bullock just doesn't deserve a best actress win. No. But is she gonna win anyway? Yes.

I used Nubar Forest with a white art pen.



A Serious Man

This is the only movie nominated in this category I haven't seen or attempted to see.

It just seems so...serious...someone let me know how it is. naturally I went with the lead characters glasses...because glasses make a serious man.

I used China Glaze White on White with black nail art pen.

Best Blog Award

Oh man, I saw these awards in my perusal of other blogs but never really thought I'd have my own nom for Best Blog Award! Very cool. Even though I'm super flattered, there are so many other lovely bloggers who do what I do even better, know so much more about the subject and inspire me every day. It's still very cool to be noticed on both this and Ink on Digital Paper for my two loves - being hyper-critical and in love with nail art!


A big thanks to The Office Bride who nominated me for this!

1. To accept the award, you must post it on your blog with the name of the person who has granted you the award, and a link to their blog.

2. Babbling Brooke - Super cool and creative, a mani out of embossing powder? Too cool.
3. Deez Nails - A fellow Canadian blogger who's frankened polishes will make you wish you paid attention to what colours combined make what in art class.

5. Nail'd & Polish'd - Another great blog with some cool swatches and comparisons
6. Naive Nails - Guildedangel was one of my first followers and she has an awesome blog to boot!
