The blog is “1 year” today :) The reason for the ” ” is that my blog actually is a lot older than that. I have had this URL since November 2005 with a blog on it and before that I had kolastram.dk which I got in 2003 and used it more like a homepage with all kinds of weird stuff on it :P Click on pictures for a closer view ;)

This design I had for a good while on my old blog :) Still think this was a great header :D

And then my blog was hacked, well I dont think it was my blog in particular that had done anything but more like a security breach in wordpress that was used. And then it all of the sudden looked like this on the frontpage and then I actually stopped blogging for a good while.

It wasn’t until last year I figured out I had a hobby that I could actually blog about :P So on March 7th I put up my first post. And that wasn’t nail related at all, that was a picture of a queue thingy at a pharmacy which made a heart with < and 3 :D That’s how geeky I am :P

Since the first post I have had a big increase in the visitors count because of the wonderful and kind network that there is between bloggers :) and especially to mention the nail bloggers :) I owe everyone that link to me huge hug <3

Some random stats:

More than 500 posts

33.000 unique visitors the last year

Over 1500 comments

Most used keyword search was for “Chanel 505″

106 countries has visited the site, 42%  was from Denmark, 24% from USA and rest is spread out over the world :)

The busiest day so far has been with 520 hits

So enough with the facts.. be sure to check back later today for the post on my birthday giveaway :D And thanks again all for reading. Biiiig hug and lots of <3 to you ;)

So I think I am getting some of those I need from the collections and going for Blushing Bud from Bloom and Cotton Candy from Sweet and then Iron Butterfly from the Metal Chic collection. You can also order some of Orly’s treatments, like Wont Chip, Bonder or any of the other they have. I can really recommend Sec’n Dry, I made a post here about it :) And remember if you mention my customer no. which is 147 you can get 10% discount on your first month in this fabulous exclusive club for us Scandinavians ;) Be sure to join head over to Nailmail.se and check for further details and prices  :)

For those of you not familiar with this polish I took some pictures of the bottle :) As you can see its shaped like a dress, I think its absolutely gorgoues and the best idea for a polish ever :) Nfuoh’s slogan is: “When NfuOh began All of the worlds nailart trend was changed” And who is to argue with them? :P NfuOh’s own blog can be found here and I bought mine at Fabuloustreet.com
