Life Update ft. New Glasses!*

*This post contains a product that was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. This product is the pair of glasses you see in this post, and any posts which include my face in any future posts. Thanks!

Howdy!

I'm writing this whilst listening to the General Election results. I'm not going to get into politics here though, this is a safe politics-free zone!

I've been semi-missing the past few weeks, I know. Many apologies. However if you follow me on Instagram you'll have seen a couple of posts! And just in case you don't, here they are for you:

First of all actually, I had a little haul from BornPrettyStore, and bought the following stoofs:


And then did ma nails. (That's what I do here, generally after all).

That's all the nail stuff really. I did however, get some awesome new glasses with many thanks to GlassesShop.com! They're super beautiful (and clean unlike my old pair) and I actually haven't worn my contacts since they arrived, which is soooo rare. I usually wear my contacts all the time and only use my glasses if I have to.

Anyway as a nail polish junkie this was the obvious post to make.

Have some more pics of these beautiful lenses though! I chose the frames myself over on their website (this is actually the second pair of glasses I've bought online, and I am very impressed with both companies). GlassesShop.com allow you to upload a photo of yourself onto their website so you can "try" their glasses frames. Then you just pop in your prescription and they send them out to you - suuuuper easy. You can also choose other lens options, including tinted lenses to make prescription sunglasses, transition lenses, and all of the other magical effects that opticians usually offer.

Old (lower) vs new!

You can see above that my taste in glasses has obviously not changed over the past few years. 





I'm loving the colour of these too, as the black is professional but the pink kinda makes them 'pop'. Now because I love you wonderful readers, I have teamed up with GlassesShop.com to provide you with 50% off all eyeglasses and sunglasses with free lenses throughout the site! All you gotta do is pick your frames and use the following coupon code (note that sales frames are excluded): 
GSHOT50

If you do decide to grab some new glasses from the store don't forget to show me (and the rest of the world!) on social media! I wanna see what you choose!

In the meantime I am going to be super busy trying to fit in some last-minute sights in California before I return to the UK in a few weeks time, so I may fall quiet again. You can follow my adventures on twitter, instagram & facebook though, and I will of course be around to respond to any comments, or emails if you do wish to get in touch :)

I hope you guys have a wonderful few weeks and I will catch up with you all sometime in July if not beforehand!

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...

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
