Nailing Around: McFly!

It's time for a little introduction to a new kind of blogpost- "Nailing Around"
I'll be posting pictures of my nails if I ever do some cool designs to go to certain places (like gigs and concerts and what not) or if I just go anywhere pretty awesome generally :)

So for my first Nailing Around post, I want to introduce you to the band Mcfly!
Definitely my favourite band of all time, hands down, no competition. Me and two of my friends went to see them in April :) April 25th! :D



To celebrate the occasion, I painted and designed some falsies for two of us to wear, featuring the McFly "M" and also the four band member's badge designs.
Here's the fella's badge designs, taken from McFly.com (copyright all to them).

Harry
Tom
Danny
Dougie
Here's my design!

Colours used are: Thumb Nail- OPI Russian Navy;  Dougie Nail (Red)- OPI Cha-Ching Cherry; Harry Nail (Orange)- Barry M Gelly Satsuma; Tom Nail (Green)- Barry M Spring Green; Danny Nail (Blue)- Barry M Gelly Watermelon
For the details: The "M" on the thumb is done with Barry M Silver Nail Art Pen, and the other designs are done with Barry M White Nail Art Pen. Now these pens are good, but make sure you give them a good shake and a good 'blot' on paper before drawing on your nails. And make sure that your under colour is dry too, otherwise the pen might drag the colour a bit :)

And now I leave you with more pictures! Yay! :D
(You can click on them to make them bigger if you wanna see better ^^')



Do you like the idea of this design and want to create it yourself? Go ahead! Just send me some of your pictures so I can see your pretty effects! :D Email them to rachelastar96@gmail.com or tweet them to @Nail_Parade

Thanks for reading, see you soon! xxx

The Random Sunday Post!

Hello everyone! This is a super quick random post just to say I'm back and also what will be coming up this week! So, I'm still due a Blue Nails post for the British Nail Blogger's Colour Me Crazy Challenge- this will be up tomorrow instead of a Book/Lifestyle post! From Wednesday, the normal posts will resume, so you can expect a Pink Mani on this day for this week's challenge nails! Then on Thursday, it's A Level results day, which means a lot of nervous stressy things to sort out, and I may not have time to write up a post in time for Friday- but I will definitely try, and also update you all in my potential University place! If there is a post on Friday, it'll be a typical naily post- probably a swatch of something! And that is all I think you need to know! Good Luck to anyone else getting results on Thursday! ~Rachel

Your Guide to Barry M Gelly's!

Finally , the time has come for the ever-promised "Barry M Gelly Polishes Review & Swatch" Post! YAY! Now, now, settle down, settle down, and prepare yourself for an image-heavy post! Panorama View? Yes please... Okay, so that picture isn't too great. But there's the colours that between us (Me and Rhian) have in the Gelly range. We're only missing "Grapefruit" I think...

Mail: Messy Mani

Hello! Let it be known that from this day forth, any nail posts posted on Mondays shall be known as "Mail's". Yay! For the first "Mail" post, I'm going to be sharing one of my new purchases with you... Model's Own's "Erase" Corrector Pen! I feel like this could be a major turning point in my blog's image quality, as I no longer have an excuse for messy mani's.  Though I'd first like to point out that I feel like I have come quite far since the beginning of my blog, and no longer post images such as this... I mean, just look at that thumb!? (Polish is Barry M Spring Green) ...Except for today, I'm posting a very (purposefully) messy mani, to show you how the corrector pen can work! Also please keep in mind that I actually did this mani pretty much in the dark, around midnight the other day. :D I quite enjoyed being super careless with my painting, actually. Is that wrong of me? Also, you m
