Happy World Book Day!

Hey everyone!

It's World Book Day today!

As a self-proclaimed book nerd, it feels right to do a post on this day of celebrating books, even if I did only find out about this morning because of twitter.

I remember in primary school it was always my favourite school day of the year as we got to sit around and read for most of the day, with little writing exercises and games in between. And, of course, we got to dress up as our 'favourite book character'. Basically, we got to see each other in princess and pirate and alien costumes, which yknow, is pretty funny!

Ah I miss those days! Anyway, reading basically took over my life, and as sad as it may sound, books are my friends (though I do of course have real friends too- hi guys!) and they're even my comfort blanked. Bad day? I go and read a book.

So as you can see, at the moment I'm reading through JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (I'm determined to finish these at some point and then have a marathon of the movies to compare/celebrate). I'm also starting A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin so I can hopefully overtake the TV show at some point in the probably very distant future.

Though, this weekend I plan to read Patricia Briggs' new book "Dead Heat" which came out on Tuesday... as well as write two essays. Yippee!

See you all tomorrow for a nail post though! Happy World Book Day!

Are you reading anything good at the moment? Let me know in the comments!

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

Your Guide to Barry M Gelly's!

Finally , the time has come for the ever-promised "Barry M Gelly Polishes Review & Swatch" Post! YAY! Now, now, settle down, settle down, and prepare yourself for an image-heavy post! Panorama View? Yes please... Okay, so that picture isn't too great. But there's the colours that between us (Me and Rhian) have in the Gelly range. We're only missing "Grapefruit" I think...

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
