Life Update!

Hey everyone!

Been quite a while since one of these (I think?), so I thought I'd give you the scoop on what's happening in my life right now.

The past couple of weeks have been a bit of a haze of getting ready to go back to Uni, and also a nice little 7 day all-inclusive holiday in Lanzarote, before returning back home for a couple of days.

Some thoughts and a specific Timehop app have also made me realise how things have changed in the past year (both good and bad) and how much everyone's grown up and moved on from sixth form, including myself I'd like to think... though I'm still grasping onto all the "childish" things that make me happy like Disney, and stuffed animals. I feel like these are even more important to hold onto now that I'm onto the last year of my teens.

At this very moment in time, I'm having a sick day in my PJ's in bed feeling sorry for myself and trying to get some internet-things done before I give up and just go back to sleep. And tomorrow, I'm getting some of my hair cut off.... unless I chicken out!

So onto the future! Tomorrow evening I'm going back down to Manchetser ready for uni, which I'm pretty excited to start again so I have something productive to do. Sunday I'll be popping to Professional Beauty North (which I may or may not blog about, but will probably tweet about), before finishing my last NVQ training day on Monday for Nail Art, where I'll hopefully learn more tricks and tips to share with you all.
And then there's uni work, uni work aaaaand uni work. Plus a couple of country gigs- Zac Brown Band and Hunter Hayes, which will be amazing!

The future for the blog is looking just as clear and planned out, as I'm planning on doing some Disney Princess nail art for you all as part of the next instalment of "The Fandoms Strike Back". There'll also hopefully be a couple more book posts, as I read 5 books whilst on holiday! Five! I'll have to try and do that over here too.

And so, I think I've covered everything to update you with! So I will see you all very soon for some exciting blog posts, hopefully, and I hope you're all doing well!

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
