Wail: LiL Challenge: Blue!

Hey everyone!
I'm writing this post from my garden since it's all sunny and hot still! (Trying to get a tan!)

So today I bring you my blue nails for Life in Lacquer's July Nail Art Challenge!

I used 4 polishes in total, though one can look a bit more like a purple (and one actually is a purple!) and also had the help of a couple of different sized dotting tools and a makeup sponge.

The dotted swirls design is one I found on "Try My Hand". You can find the original post here!

The polishes I used are...

Rimmel London's Metal Rush in the shade "Royal Blue". This polish is a multi-chrome which flicks between shades of silver, blue, green and purple depending on the light, though is mostly blue and purple in shade.

For the dots I used Nails Inc's "The Mall" which is one of my all-time favourite polishes ever! It's a very pretty metallic royal blue shade with as slight purple hue.

For my ring finger, I first used a coat of Revlon's "Plum Night" which again is one of my all-time favourite polishes. I was gutted when I heard they discontinued it, but earlier this year I found out that it was back! So maybe it wasn't discontinued at all! It's a very nice deep purple creme polish.

Using my make-up sponge, I dabbed Barry M's "Pacific" from their Aquarium collection, over the tip of my plum nail. It didn't really work too well as the shimmer didn't gradient very nicely- but never mine!

And that's it! Thank you for reading and see you all either tomorrow or Friday! (Hopefully tomorrow!)
Enjoy the sunshine while it's here!

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

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

Wail: Birthday Blue!

Hi everyone! So it was my 18th birthday yesterday, hence why this post is a little late! But I have a fun post for you all to enjoy :) Introducing to you- my birthday mani! I love love love these polishes- I think I've only used them once each, but wow, they're just amazing and I definitely need to use them more. Apologies for the little bit of tip-wear, it's been on since Saturday (so, 5 days between application and the picture taking!) so the wear on these polishes is actually very good! The first polish is Rimmel London's Salon Pro by Kate, in the shade "Britpop" which is such a fun name! The colour is also absolutely stunning, it's such a rich blue, but is kinda bright at the same time and a borderline dark teal colour. The brush for application is also pretty wide, which makes coverage super easy in only one to two strokes! There's another bonus too- the polish is very shiny even before a top coat! Totally recommend this polish, a
