Marie Claire’s “Most Wanted Beauty Awards” Favorite Nail Blogger Is…
Me!! Oh my gosh, you guys. Thank you so much for the love and support over the years. I adore you all.
I’m overwhelmed to be voted Favorite Nail Blogger in the first ever Marie Claire Most Wanted Beauty Awards and, as cliche as it sounds, I was thrilled just to be nominated by the MC beauty editors.
Marie Claire Most Wanted Beauty Awards - Favorite Nail Blogger
I was up against so stiff competition so if it wasn’t for all of you, I never would have won so THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
The rest of the winners are up on MarieClaire.com/MostWanted2013 and in the October 2013 issue (with Vanessa Hudgens on the cover), on stands now. I snagged a copy at Target on Sunday (picking up some #PhillipLimforTarget goodies). Am I total dork for wanting to buy a backup?

How exciting
Yours was the first nail blog I found, around the beginning of 2011, before I even knew there was such a thing, all because I was trying to locate a specific color. Wow, were my eyes opened. Congrats!
Thank you Leissa! I’m so glad you found me and have kept reading all these years.
Congrats, great news and keep up the good work
Thank you Lou!

Thank you Terri!

Thank you Rachel!
Congratulations Michelle! I’ve loved your blog for years!
Thank you Lisa!
Congratulations!!
Thank you Pam!
Congrats!!! OK, so I was in Sally Beauty Supply and saw some gorgeous Finger Paints polishes in what looked like a new for fall display. Of course, I grabbed up both green polishes and then something on the billboard caught my eye. “All Lacquered Up” How is it that I missed that announcement? Finger Paints made an entire All Lacquered Up line! I only got 2 because I wasn’t prepared and didn’t budget for extras when I went after my China Glaze haul. Oh but I am going back after that beautiful cream color and the pink/coral one too. So double congrats on the Marie Claire award and your polish!
Thank you Cindi! I don’t know how you missed the announcement. I feel like I’ve spammed you guys with the news over the past couple months. Which ones did you get?
Oh Michelle, I’m so sorry. I found them all in the archives. I was on vacation for half of August, had my birthday, and several others in the family too and then with back to school and life and work, well you know… I am finally catching up on all the posts. I was able to read your adventures in polish making. I love all the colors and they all came home with me. The names are fun and I don’t know what got rejected but these names are fantastic and fit Finger Paint’s usual format of puns and twists on words and sounds.
Congrats, Michelle! Well deserved.
Thanks Amy!
Of course you won! You’re like the OG in the nail (or even beauty) blogging community!
Congrats! Go buy back-up copies!
Thanks Katy! I will
I’m a little late in congratulating you, Michelle, but HOLY COW! I can’t think of any other nail blog I’ve enjoyed more; the others just fell by the wayside because yours is more informative and a lot more fun.
I quit wearing polish when my boys were born (I never had enough quiet time to let it dry!), so I was way behind in all things nail related when I picked up a bottle of polish on a whim five years ago. I discovered you around the same time, and you were a voice of reason and calm in a cacophony of wild colors and new brands.
You’re practical and value-oriented, but your sense of whimsy and your delight in your life in Cleveland make you feel like the best girlfriend ever.
I know you’ve worked hard for this, but you never let us see you sweat. You’ve made it seem like the most fun in any given day is the discovery of a new color applied in a new way. It’s a small thing, but sometimes the small things are the only things we have to give us the courage to tackle the big things.
Trust me when I tell you you’ve given me more than teal toenails. The least I could do in return was to make sure Marie Claire readers got to know you, too.
I’m taken aback. Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoy reading what I have to say as much as I enjoy writing it. The connection I’ve made with you and everyone else who keeps coming back is one of the best things I’ve done.
Look forward to it. I don’t go in for all the crazy stuff since I am a classic dresser but love to see what’s knew. I am a wine, taupe, funny bunny or french girl with some Russian Navy thrown into it. Red when I get the whim.
