Oh this is hard! Ummm well in terms of higher-end polishes, I love Misa, Essie, and China Glaze. China Glaze has amazing color variety, great application and staying power. The same goes for Misa. Essie used to really bore me but they've really started to branch out (color-wise) and I think their reformulations without the Big 3 bad chemicals are really great. Not to mention that when it comes to classic and classy colors, Essie really delivers. The application of Essie polishes can be iffy at times but it has great staying power on me.
For drugstore brands, I love Wet N Wild, Sally Hanson, Sinful Colors, and NYC.
As for least favorite...I can't really think of any that I really DISLIKE. I haven't had much luck with Revlon or Creative Nail Design polishes. I really only buy CND if it's on super sale (I only have one, and the drying time drives me insane), and I stopped buying Revlon because it's just not worth it. They would always be streaky and bubbly no matter what and the color selection was never something to get excited over. Not to mention I could get the same results with a Sinful Colors, WnW, or NYC polish that's 2 or 3 dollars cheaper. I did see that Revlon has a mint green coming out (or out right now) that looks really cool though, so I might have to check that out. -
The majority of them do think it's a little weird but at least they always know what to get me for my birthday. Actually, my guy friends don't really comment on it as much. They know my nails always look fantastic (One of them always asks if I just had my nails done) and they notice that I have lots of different colors (Another guy friend once commented that he liked my color and I said I really love nail polish and he was like "I noticed."). So I would say I get more teasing from my girl friends, except it's more of a good-natured teasing instead of being mean-spirited. Everyone has their quirks

I don't, I store my polishes in those plastic shoeboxes that you can buy from Target or Walmart for around a dollar. I line the bottoms with non-slip grip so that the bottles don't move around too much when I move them.
I don't think I have quite enough polish to fill up an entire Helmer, but I imagine each individual drawer could hold a lot of polish. I love Ikea, but their quality can vary...I would be worried that all the glass bottles could create a top-heavy effect and wear the drawers out quickly.
Does anyone have the Helmer for polish or even non-polish purposes? Let me know what you think! -
I've been going through a lot of personal issues and also my apartment doesn't get much light. I've taken some pictures but haven't gotten around to posting them yet. It also takes a lot of commitment to pay attention to all the different collections that come out each season.

I have before, when I was more active. The companies approached me and asked if I wanted to try products. I will always say on my blog whether or not the polish was bought with my own money or not.
ALU used to be the only nail polish blog out there (and it's still the most popular), but that trend has kind of changed. I started my blog for fun and while it's nice to try new products, it's not the whole reason I started to blog. Sadly, there are a lot of people who get into the blogging business because of the "free stuff." While I try not to judge, I think that getting too many free things waters down a person's personal opinion. While I love certain nail polish brands/companies, not every single polish is going to be fantastic and amazing. There are always a few duds, and I've seen a lot of bloggers who claim to love everything. Which is great, but it does make me wonder if they have any opinions at all. I love nail polish and I enjoy talking about nail polish, but I would never hesitate in expressing my feelings about a polish that I didn't like. Nail polish, like most (if not all) makeup, is very subjective -
I did a bit of babysitting when I was in high school. I've also taught English in China (private tutoring)

I don't know much about fake nails, but from what I've read/heard, gel nails are better for your nails. Here are some links about the advantages and disadvantages though, sorry I couldn't help more!

I have more than 63 bottles, that's for sure. Some people might think it's crazy but we all have our quirks. I don't think having that collecting polish hurts anybody.

This is the hardest question to answer! I never paint my nails according to "season" (ie only brights in the summer, only darks in the winter) so I would say my favorite color is probably a dark, vampy red like OPI Midnight in Moscow. A runner-up would be a light blue, like Nina Pro In a Tiff
