Fridail: Purple Water Marble!

By
Hi guys!
So so sooo sorry for this post being so late in the day- time kinda escaped from me a little as I've been sorting out some Uni stuff and tidying the house in preparation for my birthday on Tuesday! (Super excited!)

Anyway, this post is linking to the British Nail Blogger's "Colour Me Crazy" Challenge, as this week's colour is purple!

Not gonna lie here, they're kinda shabby and I didn't clean them up very well, but let's not dwell too much on that!
You can find my "How to: Water Marble" post here!



So, I started with a white base colour on my nails, using Barry M's "Matt White" polish. All was going quite well, until the lilac coloured polish kinda failed cause it was too light- which is why most of my nails look a bit off-white. But never mind!

Polishes used are... Barry M's Gelly "Prickly Pear"



Barry M's Gelly "Plum" 



And finally, Models Own's "Sterling Silver" which is providing the very slight silvery and shimmery lines you can see!



So yeah... In conclusion, this is definitely not my best water marble, but it's also not my worst (it took me a few attempts to get used to the technique!). Here's my right hand, just for you to see it... It's not cleaned up very much at all, so apologies for that ^^'



And that's everything for today! Once again, so sorry it's late! And don't forget that there's a big announcement tomorrow!!
See you then!

      Thanks! I think as long as you use a decent container and polishes it makes it easier ^^ If you haven't already tried Barry M's Gelly polishes, definitely try one with these cause they're amazing for marbling :) But otherwise yeah, there are good days and bad days (but never give up! :D)

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

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...
