Life Update 2016 1.0

Here comes the life update I just promised!
Be prepared for... actually not much, but be prepared anyway.

The year kicked off with a lovely trip to Lake Tahoe in California/Nevada (it's on the border), and we celebrated New Year there. On return, exam period commenced with much stress, as it does.




After an extra pinch of stress and house-drama, the partying and semi-relaxing began, with a trip to hand-feed some red deer and see some adorable otters! You have no idea how much I love these animals, they're definitely two of my many favourite species. Also have a bonus picture of a robin, because he looks cool.




This trip was, of course, followed by more drinking, country gig-going, and dissertation writing, which was again closely followed by a lot (I mean lot) of uni work and money-earning work. We also snuck in a quick trip to Alton Towers and to see the new Jungle Book movie, alongside a few other social events and barbecues since the weather was actually nice for some very extremely strange reason. 

It also wouldn't be right to go a year without my laptop breaking again, and so it died sometime in April. Bye bye hard drive and wifi chip, again. I ended up saying goodbye to my laptop, and using pretty much my life savings, buy a new one. RIP old laptop.

To make things even better, we also got burgled in May, losing our TV and a bottle of milk... Why they drank a bottle of milk is something we will forever be asking.

And so, I think that brings us up to now - my uni exams are done, my nail course is done and has gone away for assessment, my house mates have moved out and I get to sit here alone for a couple of weeks contemplating life and naily fun things to share with you guys.

In which case, I'm gonna go and do some nails, and catch you very, very soon.

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

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

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...
