Wail: Introducing Vicky!

Today's "Wail" brings another guest post to your eyes while I run off to do some maths in preparation for tomorrow's exam! It's a wonderful idea and creation brought to you by Vicky, but I'll let her introduce herself right here...
---------------------------------------------------


Hello Nail Paraders! My name is Vicky, I run a blog called Vicky Loves Nails and I am very excited to be guest posting on Rachel’s blog today while she is doing her exams.
I have always loved the design of Rachel’s blog and I thought it would make a great manicure so I decided to use that as inspiration for my design.


I used Maybelline – Turquoise Lagoon as my base colour. For the spots I used Sinful Colors – Snow Me White and a dotting tool. I freehanded the rest of the design; the outline and stripes are Rimmel – Sea Green and the heart is Barry M – Sugar Apple. 

I was pretty pleased with this design overall, I thought it was quite cute even if I do say so myself ;). I haven’t used dots much lately so this was a nice change.


Thanks so much Rachel for letting me post on your blog, I hope all your exams go well! I hope my post has lived up to Rachel’s usual standards, thanks so much everyone for reading.

Thanks for your post (and luck) Vicky! She'll be back here on June 11th with another amazing post, but in the mean time make sure you go and check out her blog here, cause it's pretty darn awesome! I'm totally going to have to try out this design some time too, it's adorable!
See you all soon for another exam-season guest post!

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!
