Your Name: Amy Calhoun
Is there a story behind the name of your brand? I knew when I was thinking of my brand that I wanted to do sports team inspired polishes. When coming up with a name, my husband suggested BadAss. It seemed to fit so well with what I wanted to do. Like someone coming up to you and saying, "your nails are badass!"
How many polishes/collections have you created? I only have 5 polishes available at this time. Three of them are from the "Are You Ready for Some Football" collection and two are what I would consider core. I plan on having more NFL inspired polishes next season. I had to start somewhere and I picked my own home team which is the Green Bay Packers along with Dallas Cowboys since I thought it would be fun to do stars, and lastly Minnesota Vikings as I like the colors.
Is there a special polish/collection? Why? I would have to say that the two core polishes are more special to me. I adore "Dusk" so much! I was inspired by a clear night where the stars are out and this represents that perfectly to me.
Where you a polish addicted before starting making polishes? Absolutely! I have been into nail polish for a few years now.
Whats your favorite thing about making polishes? I just love the creative outlet of it all! It's so awesome seeing your vision come to life when creating a polish!
Is there anything you'd Like to share: I only have five polishes in my shop right now but I plan on releasing five more either end of January or beginning of February. We are also hoping to get a few MLB inspired polishes so I'd love for you to stop by our Facebook and tell me what team or teams you'd like to see.

Your Name: Amy Calhoun
Brand Name: BadAss Polish
Where are you from? I live in Waukesha which is a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life.
When have you started? I've been working on my brand since summer of 2012. I put a lot of time and thought into things and I didn't rush to get my nail polish out as I wanted to ensure I was putting out a quality product. I opened my shop in the beginning of December, 2012.

Did you have a blog before making polishes or have you started one after? I did! I haven't been on there much recently as I have just haven't had time but I still hope to get on the blog periodically. My blog is http://polishandsuch.blogspot.com/

Can you tell us a curious thing that has happened to you with some client or something funny? I bartend as one of my jobs and I had sold a couple of bottles of nail polish to one of my fellow bartenders. She was showing another one of our other co-workers the bottle and he had not seen the label...he said, and I kid you not, "wow, that's badass!" He then turned the bottle and saw that was the name of my brand. It just made me that much more happy with the name of my brand!
