Wail: Prom Nails!

Hey everyone!
So it was my sixth-form prom the other Saturday (the 28th of June!) and we all know how much nails add to an outfit, so today I'm sharing mine!



My dress and shoes were a bright coral colour- a very similar shade to that nail polish in the photo, and I completed my outfit with some gold jewellery. 


So in light of this- I did a set of water marble nails for myself, which turned out rather well if I dare say so myself. You can find my tutorial for water marbling here! :) 



The polishes I used are Rimmel "Cocktail Passion" which is the peachy/coral colour, Barry M "Mediterranean" which is the slightly metallic/shimmery pink you can see a few flecks of, and Nails Inc "Lanesborough Place" which is the gold. 



I really loved this mani and all of it's shimmery-shiny-metallic ness, so that's why there's a lot of pictures. Sorry about that! 





I'd love to hear what you think of my nails, too, so don't be a stranger and leave a note in the comments below!
Thank you for reading!

    1. I didn't have time to change them, so they were still my prom nails from the Saturday.

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
