Christmas Make-up Haul!

Hellooooo!
FINALLY! Finally I've gotten round to doing this post. Wowzers, where did all the time go? What even happened to the school holidays!?
I've been back at school 2 days while I type this and gawd, I am stressing to pieces already- with 2 exams down and 2 left to go. (A lot of 2's here...)
Anyway, I hope you had a good Christmas and an amazing New Year, and got loaaads of amazing gifts!



Here's a super quick but image-heavy breakdown of the makeup-gifts I got this year!
I plan to swatch/show them properly some time/eventually, when school's calmed back down a little lot.
All images should hopefully be super-clear as they're taken with my new camera! WOO! \o/


Bare Minerals Makeup!
Bare Minerals- Prime Time Brightening Foundation Primer -Pretty dang good!

Left: "Beauty" (blusher),  Right: Original Mineral Veil (Setting Powder), Bottom: "The Daydream" Luminizer (Highlighter kind of thing)



Yay for Eyeshadow Duo's! This one is called "The Cliff Hanger"... I think (I need to check it out, don't quote me on it yet!)

Eyeshadow Trio: (Left to Right): "Flare", "Pewter" and "Polished"

Eyelid Primer! Yay!

More eyeshadows! The one on the left is a neutral matte colour called "Queen Phyllis Matte" and the one on the right, a near-blush coloured pink, called "Alive"
I decided to get all photographically inventive for a moment- here's the camera though! *noms*

And this brings us to lip products! (Still Bare Minerals...!)
(The two glosses on the left, and the 5 mini's are Bare Minerals)

Gloss from the far left! Goes on kinda pale-ish, but cute :)

2nd Gloss in- it's a buzzy lipgloss! So awesome!
On to the mini's, starting with the brightest and definitely well-named bright pink!
It goes on pretty true to colour too!
This is such a cute name, and a very nice natural colour ^^
It's a cute little rose colour with a hint of brown
(I have no idea why this pic is so weird...) Anyway, it's a lush colour!

It's a deep purple and it gorrrgeous!<3
"Get Ready".... (Get set.... GO!)
This colour seems to be a step below the "Go All Out" shade =)
Another Neutral!
This one's more of a pink-neutral than a brown-neutral =) It's still gorgeous though! 
And onto the other lip stuffs!
Ted Baker's Pink Lipgloss 
Soap & Glory "Sexy Mother Pucker" in "Fuchsia-Ristic"

A nice balm with a pretty pink-hint

Soap & Glory "Sexy Mother Pucker" in "Nudist"

Another nice balm, this time with a hint of beige

Soap & Glory "Sexy Mother Pucker" in "Plum Jam"

The final of the trio- a balm with a reddish-purple hint =)
I got loads of Nail Polish stuff too, but I think this post is big enough for now, so I shall post them in a bit!

Hope you's had an awesome Christmas and New Year! See you very very soon!

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

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

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...

"Where did all my money go!?"

What's this- an extra post!? I told you it would happen! Before we get started, please note that other titles for this post were considered, including "Bye bye student loan", "Nails over Food" and also "Oh poo, now I'm skint" So basically, one night...I went shopping. I have only one regret, and that is how much money I spent! In total, I got 6 parcels within 2 or 3 weeks, consisting of 19 polishes, 1 "Bling it On" kit, 1 set of nail strips, 1 eyeshadow palette, 7 stamping plates, 1 nail-studs wheel, 1 pack of nail stickers, 6 packs of water decals, 1 (tiny) pack of nail-studs and finally, 2 rolls of nail foils!
