Wail: Models Own 'Polish for Tans' Beach Bag!

By
Hey there!
So welcome to Wednesday's nail post! (Yes, it's Thursday, but let's not dwell on that too much...)
Today I have a new polish for you that was released about 2 weeks ago I think, by our good friends Models Own!
Models Own generally have amazing polishes with amazing formulas and cool effects and these were definitely no exception!

There are 5 shades in this collection, but I've only been able to grab one so far unfortunately...
The shades are as follows:
Flip Flop- a neon lime green
Bikini- a neon lemon yellow
Shades- a slightly coral-toned neon pink
Sun Hat- a neon 'barbie' pink
And finally, Beach Bag- a neon orange/peach tone, which I bring to you today!



It really is a beautiful colour, above photographed in day-light (but indoors), you can see that it looks slightly pastel in direct light but gets brighter as it gets some shade!



(To prove that a little more, above are some pictures taken with the flash on)

A little more about these polishes then! Beach Bag dries to a semi-matte finish and the whole collection are made to "enhance and compliment your natural tan", which means I have a question for you all to answer...

"Does this polish make me look tanned?"   

(Leave your thoughts/opinions in the comments below!)


I had loads of comments about how bright it was when I was wearing this polish, it made my nails feel loved!


Application wise, this polish gets a 'meh' from me. It wasn't brilliant but it also wasn't terrible. I chose to paint it over the top of a white base and it really only took one coat to cover completely, but I did two anyway to see if it boosted the colour anymore (I'd say it did a little bit, but not loads)
But! This polish was pretty thick in comparison to any other Models Own polishes I own, so it was a little hard to get it nice and even without it dragging too much. When I was painting though, I noticed it would go streaky for a bit and then even itself out very nicely, so you don't need to worry about it too much :)

I have one last picture for you, and it's a little messy but it really captures the essence of the polish...

This picture was taken outside in natural light around 8.30pm (so getting dark but not pitch black) and look at it! It's practically glowing! THIS is why I love this polish so much, and why you should too. Go and put it on your "To Buy for Summer" list now- for only £5 from selected Boots/Superdrug Stores, or ModelsOwnIt.com

Thanks for reading! :) (And sorry that it's a day late!)

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!

By
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

By
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...
