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!

Mail: Rimmel Velvet Matte Midnight Kiss Swatch!

Hello everyone! Before we get started, it's very very nice to see you all here- my hugest apologies for being so bad with posting lately. Moving away from home really takes it out of you, and my Uni's "Welcome Week" timetable was craaazy! Though I got to go to Chester zoo... Which was awesome! Anyway, let's crack on with the post shall we?  Today, I'm bringing to you a recent release and purchase. Rimmel London's "Velvet Matte" polishes were released alongside their new Matte Apocolips range, and a new selection of some "Rimmel by Kate" products!  I purchased three new polishes- two Velvet Matte's in the shade "Midnight Kiss" and "Sumptuous Red" (love the names!) which are a dark blue and pinky-purple, and also a new Salon Pro by Kate called "Saturn" which looks amazing.  Today, I'm swatching Midnight Kiss for you guys, but keep an eye out for the other two coming this week! ...

Get those Jumpers Out!

Before we fully get started here, I'd like to apologise for missing two of my usual posting slots (Friday and Monday) - things have been a little hectic with Uni work and also with looking for a house to live in next year. Thankfully all is sorted with the house now, so I just have this and a ton of uni work to settle for! And on that note- on with the post! So it's creeping well into December, it's feeling pretty Wintery outside... what are you waiting for? Go grab those Christmas jumpers from your wardrobe- or better yet- wear them on your nails!
