Mail: Say Hi to Emily!

Hey everyone! :)
Today I'm bringing you a beautiful post by Emily, from Nail Must Be Painted! Here is is...

Hello! I'm Emily from Nails Must Be Painted.

I am very excited to be doing my first ever guest post today for Rachel! Hope she is having a lovely holiday!

Usually my nail art consists of lots of girly colours and flowered designs! However, I wanted to do something I thought would be a little more in the style of Rachel's blog, so I have tried something new for me: a distressed, neon mani!

I started with a base of Barry M Matte White. I then sponged a gradient using Sinful Colors Cool Pink and W7 Fluorescent Yellow. Next I covered the whole nail with a coat of Barry M Black, before removing some again with a fan brush, a cotton bud and acetone. I repeated this last step using Sally Hansen Grape Race and finished with a quick coat of Barry M Diamond Glitter on my Ring finger and Barry M 3 in 1 topcoat on the rest of my nails.

Although this is not my usual style, I love this mani and it was surprisingly quick and easy to do! Hope you all like it as much as I do!!

Ooo, I do love a good distressed mani! Thank you for the lovely post, Emily! Make sure you guys go and check out her blog, which is linked at the top of this post!

I hope everyone's had a great weekend, and make sure to check back here on Wednesday for a guest post from Tipped Off Nails!

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
