Happy World Book Day!

By
Hey everyone!

It's World Book Day today!

As a self-proclaimed book nerd, it feels right to do a post on this day of celebrating books, even if I did only find out about this morning because of twitter.



I remember in primary school it was always my favourite school day of the year as we got to sit around and read for most of the day, with little writing exercises and games in between. And, of course, we got to dress up as our 'favourite book character'. Basically, we got to see each other in princess and pirate and alien costumes, which yknow, is pretty funny!

Ah I miss those days! Anyway, reading basically took over my life, and as sad as it may sound, books are my friends (though I do of course have real friends too- hi guys!) and they're even my comfort blanked. Bad day? I go and read a book.

So as you can see, at the moment I'm reading through JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (I'm determined to finish these at some point and then have a marathon of the movies to compare/celebrate). I'm also starting A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin so I can hopefully overtake the TV show at some point in the probably very distant future. 
Though, this weekend I plan to read Patricia Briggs' new book "Dead Heat" which came out on Tuesday... as well as write two essays. Yippee! 
See you all tomorrow for a nail post though! Happy World Book Day!

Are you reading anything good at the moment? Let me know in the comments!

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!

"Where did all my money go!?"

By
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!

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...
