Fridail: American as Apple Pie!

Hi there! Welcome to the "Fridail" post! Though yes, it is Saturday today...
Things have been rather busy this week, so apologies for the lateness, but it was well worth it I promise!
Today I bring to you a new red polish, and it is definitely at the top of my list of all-time polishes! So which polish is it?
It's a Nicole by OPI polish, from the Carrie Underwood collection, and it's called...

American as Apple Pie

Dang, it's making me hungry! What an adorable name though, I love it!



The first point I'm going to make here, is how many coats it takes to get this awesome, vibrant coverage. Any guesses...?


I'm just gonna tell you now. ONE. It takes ONE average-thickness coat to get that bright of a colour. I was seriously so impressed! Seriously, just look at it!

These pics are only with one layer of top coat as well, and just look how shiny they turned out! I'm definitely in love with it! <3
Plus, I took all of these pictures after wearing it for at least 3 days, and during that time they've been washing up, shooting people at Laser Quest, an exam and many hours of calculator-tapping and schoolwork-writing. And I can't see any chips! Amazing. Love it. Best. Red. Ever.

Now I just have to save up some money to get some more from the collection, hehe!
This polish was £7.99 from Superdrug
(And so totally worth it!)

Removal was also super easy. I used a normal nail polish remover and some cotton wool balls, and it came off like a dream in under 5 minutes. No harsh scrubbing necessary! Plus, it didn't stain- which I understand is generally an issue with bright reds, so all the more reason to buy it!

Will you be buying this polish? Let me know in the comments!
See you next week!

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

Hey everyone! It's officially the 2nd year of blogging over here on Nail Parade,  and I honestly can't believe that this is it, the two year mark already. I remember sitting in sixth form deciding to do this as a bit of a 'why not' thing and here I am now sitting in my room in Manchester still writing it, and loving it, after two whole years. It's really crazy!

Return of the Blogger

Howdy! How are you all? Me? I'm great! My second year of university is (finally) over, and I am so, so ready for the summer to get started - although the Manchester weather seems to be preventing this. The nail course I was doing is also over, so I'm one step closer to becoming a nail technician if my degree happens to go down the pothole (which hopefully it doesn't, because the world needs animals now more than ever in my opinion). So basically, I'm back to being 99% stress free, and extremely bored with hardly anything to do. And so, I have returned to you delightful people (if you are still there) and to any of you who join me to walk on the path of Nail Parade from this point forwards. What's the plan then? I'm gonna mess around with the blog layout a little, to start with, I think! I'm also planning lots of exciting swatches, and nail art funs for you all mixed in with the occasional book review, travel and lifestyle posts, as always, and probably...

"Where did all my money go!?"

What's this- an extra post!? I told you it would happen! Before we get started, please note that other titles for this post were considered, including "Bye bye student loan", "Nails over Food" and also "Oh poo, now I'm skint" So basically, one night...I went shopping. I have only one regret, and that is how much money I spent! In total, I got 6 parcels within 2 or 3 weeks, consisting of 19 polishes, 1 "Bling it On" kit, 1 set of nail strips, 1 eyeshadow palette, 7 stamping plates, 1 nail-studs wheel, 1 pack of nail stickers, 6 packs of water decals, 1 (tiny) pack of nail-studs and finally, 2 rolls of nail foils!
