I have returned!

Hey everyone!

So I've returned from my travels (albeit minus my suitcase thanks to a power surge in Heathrow), and I guess that means I should get back to doing things instead of lazing around in the sun most of the day. And thus, this post was born- yay!

Before my return, I had a rather busy weekend, beginning with a Darius Rucker concert (with support from Brett Eldredge, A Thousand Horses and Brothers Osbourne, who were all amazing) on Friday night.
On the Saturday I went to the mall and purchased Urban Decay's new Naked Smoky palette which is absolutely stunning... and also in the suitcase which has yet to be returned to me (sadface). After that excitement I took a trip to the Winchester Mystery House for a tour- which was designed by one crazy, but super interesting, lady. The house has loads of 'micro stairs' which are just a few centimetre sabove the ground before them. There's also windows which looked into walls, and doors into drops of several feet. But it was pretty good, despite being really odd. They also do a flashlight tour which covers the hauntings of the house, which I hope I get the chance to do at some point!
During Saturday evening we went bowling, which was also super fun!

Now onto Sunday... We took a trip to Safari West, which is like an African Safari but in California. It was pretty cools, even if it doesn't quite add up to being in South Africa itself. The animals were however more used to the trucks, and people, which meant they would get closer to you, so I managed to get face to face to a giraffe!


That was my animal fix for the trip! And then on Monday I got all packaged up and ready to come home, before landing Tuesday afternoon and finding out my suitcase (along with many, many other's suitcases) got left behind in Heathrow.
Hopefully everyone gets their cases and bags back!

Anyway, with my return to the UK, comes a return to regular posts, and a couple of items ready to be reviewed. So expect a new Blogger's Bookshelf post on Friday to kick things off, before diving into those two product reviews. In the mean time, I'll go and prepare more posts for you! I've also booked my Nail NVQ training, so will post any tips and tricks I learn whilst doing that.

And I think that's all I have for you today! So pop back on Friday to check out that book post, and everything will be fine and dandy. I hope you all had a good few weeks without me, and did something fun for yourself!

"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...
