Update!

Wow, life's been busy haha.
Here's a quick run through of all the recent going on's and what's going to be happening very very soon :)

Previously...
I had an amazingly good week the other week, I found out that I got onto a Young Leaders programme, got accepted into a Uni in California and also passed my driving test! And of course bought some celebratory nail polishes to commend the occasions...
(From Barry M's new Gelly's release, of course)


And then I went camping in the mud for a whole weekend! (Yay, mud!) and managed to keep my nails intact the whole weekend, though I have no idea how!

Call me crazy, but after a lot of contemplating pro's and con's and life and money and such, I've decided to give up my American dream (for now!) and go for Manchester Uni (or Bangor Uni, depending on my grades). I guess some things are just better off in the cold and rain (like Zoology courses!)
Anyway, this means focusing 1000000% on my exams now, so there will be a short hiatus of posts from me. Don't worry though, I've booked some pretty amazing people to fill in for me until all 13 of my exams are over! You'll hear from me occasionally though, I have a few posts planned/prepared just in case. I also think I owe you an Allegiant Part 2 post still!? I'll try and get on that tomorrow! And of course you shall be seeing some swatches of the above polishes at some point, plus a few more polishes that I have been sitting in my nail polish drawer unused! And of course, keep your eyes peeled on social media (Facebook and Twitter!) for some of my hand-drawn nail art designs, which will transferred onto nails post-exams!
Thank you for reading and make sure you keep up to date with all the other bloggers around here :) See you after 13 beautiful exams!

(PS. I also managed to miss my 1 year blog-iversary, so I'm going to wait and celebrate a year and a half instead! YAY!)

    1. Hehe, it wasn't that long ago! And I haven't swatched them completely yet, but I've worn all of them. I actually wore them at a camp, and they all survived the weekend with no chipping (though my nails were a mess, you can see here: https://twitter.com/nail_parade/status/465516798876856321/photo/1 ) but go and swatch them quickly because they're lovely colours!

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
