Pandas!

By
Hello dears!
I have a totally adorable mani for you all today, alongside a cause that as a zoologist lies pretty close to my heart. Behold, the panda mani!



As most of you probably know, the giant panda is an endangered species (yet is definitely one of the most adorable animals on the planet), and is mostly endangered due to our own interference as we destroyed their habitat and food source. 


Do you really want these little fellas to become extinct? The WWF page has more info on these beauties, and even a donation page if you're feeling generous today. Anyway... back to the nails!


These adorable guys are actually water decals from none other than Born Pretty Store! They were really easy to apply, you just slide them off their backing and onto your nail and voila- cute panda goodness.


However, as you can probably tell, they are pretty large, so if you have small nail beds and/or short nails, you may not be able to fit the whole panda decal onto your nail... (Though, they would be just as cute with a little panda head peaking from the tip of your nail!)


Models Own Colour Chrome Green was used for this base- I used two coats of it this time over a bare nail, as the last time I used the Colour Chrome polishes I stuck with one coat and it chipped super quickly. The extra coat definitely improved the amount of time the mani lasted- I think I ended up wearing this one for almost a week!


I loved these decals so, so much that I actually went back online and ordered some more almost straight away. You get 16 pandas and 8 bamboo sticks per sheet, and for only £1.20 I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

Also, don't forget you can use the code "REEG10" at the checkout on Born Pretty Store to get 10% off any full-price items in your basket! (You could even use the 10% saving to donate to the pandas!)


I hope you love this mani as much as I do! I can't get over the cuteness of these decals and can't wait until more arrive!

As always, let me know what you think in the comments!

 See you Friday!

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

By
Hey everyone! It's officially the 2nd year of blogging over here on Nail Parade,  and I honestly can't believe that this is it, the two year mark already. I remember sitting in sixth form deciding to do this as a bit of a 'why not' thing and here I am now sitting in my room in Manchester still writing it, and loving it, after two whole years. It's really crazy!

Return of the Blogger

By
Howdy! How are you all? Me? I'm great! My second year of university is (finally) over, and I am so, so ready for the summer to get started - although the Manchester weather seems to be preventing this. The nail course I was doing is also over, so I'm one step closer to becoming a nail technician if my degree happens to go down the pothole (which hopefully it doesn't, because the world needs animals now more than ever in my opinion). So basically, I'm back to being 99% stress free, and extremely bored with hardly anything to do. And so, I have returned to you delightful people (if you are still there) and to any of you who join me to walk on the path of Nail Parade from this point forwards. What's the plan then? I'm gonna mess around with the blog layout a little, to start with, I think! I'm also planning lots of exciting swatches, and nail art funs for you all mixed in with the occasional book review, travel and lifestyle posts, as always, and probably...
