Happy New Year! (Have a quick update~)

Happy New Year!

I hope all of you had a lovely 2014, and have an even better 2015!

While you're here, I thought I'd just update you on life- especially with the lack of posts. My routine's kinda fizzled away since leaving uni for Christmas, so I haven't been as 'on it' with my nails, nor taking pics of them and that obviously leads to not writing posts. I've also been running around catching up with people and taking a bit of time just to relax a little bit before the exam season starts at uni- and obviously enjoying Christmas and all the snazzy new things we get!

(I'll do a polish/makeup gifts run down some time in January!)

Anyway, if I could, I'd start blogging again right this second, but I'm jetting off to the USA for 10 days and would like to spend those days just chilling a little bit more. You can expect more posts hopefully from the 14th January-ish (if you're lucky, I may even do a run-down of my trip to Cali for you)!

So relax a little with your time out from Nail Parade, and I'll catch you in two weeks!

Cute Hearts| Breast Cancer Awareness Week

Hello! Serious topic this week, over the next 5 days, I'll be posting 5 different designs each containing a pink feature to try and raise awareness for Breast Cancer. In each post I'll include a tutorial, and a 'how you can raise awareness'. How You Can Raise Awareness Today's is so simple, all you have to do is wear a pink ribbon! Wearing the pink ribbon shows that you're supporting Breast Cancer Care, and it doesn't matter how you wear it! Monday's Design: Cute Hearts! Today's design is super easy to do, and looks so cute! Plus it's actually the first design I've thought of 100% on my own :D All you need to complete this design is 3 nail polishes! Ta-Daa!

How To: Gradient Nails

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!

Wail: Models Own Hypergel "Blue Glint"

Hello hello, good day to you! :) Welcome to the first ever on-purpose Wednesday Nail post! Freshly nicknamed as... The Wail ! Today's Wail features Models Own's Hypergel in the shade "Blue Glint" ! For those of you who don't know, the Hypergel polishes are fairly new polishes by Models Own, being released in February 2014, and they're polishes which produce a 'Gel' effect... Without the use of UV lamps. (Kinda similar to the Barry M Gelly's, but we'll get onto that in a sec) The colour I went for initially was Red Lustre but I lucked out by a couple of minutes and it had sold out on the Models Own site just before I went to buy it. *sniffles* So, instead, I went for the blue, cause you can never have too many blues!
