Spacey & Feedback - Please Read

Before I get in to the nail polish today, I'd like to get some feedback on the content I have been displaying on my blog. If seems for the last little while I have not been getting as many views or comments as I used to, I was just wondering if it was a content issue or something else. I am at the highest count right now for  followers, and I couldn't be more thankful, so it just seemed a bit weird to me.

I know personally that I feelas if I don't have as much time as I used to for viewing or commenting on blogs, so this may be the case for you as well. However, I am open to suggestions for ways to improve. It's kind of uninspiring to put some effort in to coming up with a full blog post when no one is really interested in it, and that is why I need your help! I have some comparison posts coming up soon, how interested are you in those types of posts? It would really mean a lot if you let me know what you would like to see more of on my blog :) Would you prefer less talking, more photos, or vice-versa?

Anyways, thanks for reading the top little bit if you did, on to the nail polish, today I have an awesome glitter to share with you, Kleancolors Chunky Black Holo. This polish consists of different size glitter ranging from small circular glitter to large hexagonal chunks.

Depending on your angling and lighting the glitter colour shifts from orange, red, yellow green and even a bit of blue! I took photos in many different light settings, the last one was taken with bathroom lighting!




I used a base colour of Color Clubs Blue-Topia from the latest fall, Boho collection. This was one thick coat, and although you can't tell in the photos, I could have gone with 2. The glitter camouflaged the streaks. This polish is a deep blue jelly and although I forgot to take photos before I applied the glitter, I will have a comparison between this and another deep blue jelly coming up soon.


I applied only 1 coat of the glitter, and it wasn't even that thick! Definitely a densely packed glitter!


I don't think my photos do it justice, it is so cool to look at in person, very space-like.

  2. Danielle, I had asked myself the same question a while ago when I was frustrated about the # of comments. The truth is people still read all the posts, just don't comment (you sure can see that in your stats), so don't worry about it. Post what you like, as always.

  3. Thanks ladies.

    Halifax - it's not so much about comments as it is about the stats, I just noticed a lower than normal viewing of my blog, thought I was doing something wrong!

  4. Hiyo! I just stumbled upon this blog post (because of your lovely pictures) and read your intro. I am just starting out on a blog myself and your words touched a chord with me. For me, I write and post because I want to share with everyone all my hard work or exciting finds. Getting comments and views is like the icing on the cake! So don't feel disheartened and keep posting what you love. (That is what i keep telling myself) I think your care and time will be seen and respected and when you touch someone else with your finds they will respond in turn.

    As for this polish I LOVE the Kleancolor. I have never seen this brand before and will be googling it right away to see where I can nab myself a bottle of the glitters!!!

  9. I'm not a big commentor, but I adore comparison posts. I also prefer dialog and not just pictures, but I think I'm above the average age of most readers from what I can tell (53).

  11. I don't always have time to read long posts, so I like lots of pictures with a thorough but concise description so that I can leaf through quickly as I "reset" between clients.
