China Glaze: When Stars Collide

By
Hey everyone!
So whilst it's exam season I'm gonna be sticking to some simple swatches and hopefully get through quite a few of them to start filling up the 'swatch link' section of my polish list spreadsheet! I'll try and keep up the typical 3 posts a week, but I can't make any promises. Make sure you're following me on Twitter and Instagram if you want more regular updates :)
I'll also add an exam count-down to the end of my posts just like last year. 

Anyway, on with the post! Today I have a gorgeous holographic polish from China Glaze to show you all. Not only do I love the name of this polish- When Stars Collide - but I also love the finish it gives. 
(Please note that all images here are with the flash on)



This colour is definitely a comfortable balance between a pink and a purple, though tends to lean more towards the purple side with pinks showing up close to where the light captures the holographic element. 


However, and whether this is deemed a good or a bad thing is up to you, it really isn't the most holographic polish ever. Other polishes (in example, the Color Club's Halo Hues polishes) are way more holographic, so if you're super focused on that aspect, this may not be the colour for you. It is definitely a holographic polish though, as you can see in the pics. 



I think this is what I'd have to deem a 'sophisticated' holographic polish. The holo is subtle enough for anyone who prefers deeper colours yet fun enough for anyone who likes to spice up their manis too. It's a pretty perfect balance, and I'd definitely recommend the shade to anyone!


You can currently grab this nail polish for the small price of £4.50 from Nail Polish Direct if you're interested in doing so!

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...

"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!
