Update!

Wow, life's been busy haha.
Here's a quick run through of all the recent going on's and what's going to be happening very very soon :)

Previously...
I had an amazingly good week the other week, I found out that I got onto a Young Leaders programme, got accepted into a Uni in California and also passed my driving test! And of course bought some celebratory nail polishes to commend the occasions...
(From Barry M's new Gelly's release, of course)


And then I went camping in the mud for a whole weekend! (Yay, mud!) and managed to keep my nails intact the whole weekend, though I have no idea how!

Call me crazy, but after a lot of contemplating pro's and con's and life and money and such, I've decided to give up my American dream (for now!) and go for Manchester Uni (or Bangor Uni, depending on my grades). I guess some things are just better off in the cold and rain (like Zoology courses!)
Anyway, this means focusing 1000000% on my exams now, so there will be a short hiatus of posts from me. Don't worry though, I've booked some pretty amazing people to fill in for me until all 13 of my exams are over! You'll hear from me occasionally though, I have a few posts planned/prepared just in case. I also think I owe you an Allegiant Part 2 post still!? I'll try and get on that tomorrow! And of course you shall be seeing some swatches of the above polishes at some point, plus a few more polishes that I have been sitting in my nail polish drawer unused! And of course, keep your eyes peeled on social media (Facebook and Twitter!) for some of my hand-drawn nail art designs, which will transferred onto nails post-exams!
Thank you for reading and make sure you keep up to date with all the other bloggers around here :) See you after 13 beautiful exams!

(PS. I also managed to miss my 1 year blog-iversary, so I'm going to wait and celebrate a year and a half instead! YAY!)

  1. Wow that's a brilliant week (Which is a while ago now - oops!) I've just got the Kiwi and Damson from Barry M but have yet to swatch them so SNAP!

    1. Hehe, it wasn't that long ago! And I haven't swatched them completely yet, but I've worn all of them. I actually wore them at a camp, and they all survived the weekend with no chipping (though my nails were a mess, you can see here: https://twitter.com/nail_parade/status/465516798876856321/photo/1 ) but go and swatch them quickly because they're lovely colours!

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...
