LiL Challenge: Food!

Hey everyone!
Yes, yes, it's Thursday- it's usually one of my days off, but shh, I brought a surprise for you all!
This month (July, already!?) I'm doing a Nail Art Challenge set up by Life in Lacquer!

If you want to join in too, there's still time, and you don't have to join in every single challenge day if you don't want to, but it would be awesome if you do.

Here's my mani for the first topic- food!

I remembered vaguely that I had a cute little fruity stamping plate somewhere in my stamping kit- and I was right! Look how cute these things are!

The polish I used was called "Mayfair" by Nails Inc. It's a cute little slightly-metallic white/cream shade, though I wouldn't wear it by itself. It's surprisingly opaque, and took only two coats to cover my nails evenly, which is awesome!

Here's the plate I used- Konad m55. Isn't it cute?

My friend Sarah is also taking part in this challenge! She took the food spectrum to the opposite side that I did, and went for some unhealthy, yet super cute cupcakes!

Aren't they cute!?

So, that's today's surprise and challenge reveal- check back on Monday, after 6pm UK time for the 2nd challenge prompt- pink!

I hope you enjoyed today's post, and will check back tomorrow where I'll be showing you my prom nails!
Thanks for reading,

"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!

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...

Nail Parade!
