Life Update 2016 1.0

Here comes the life update I just promised!
Be prepared for... actually not much, but be prepared anyway.

The year kicked off with a lovely trip to Lake Tahoe in California/Nevada (it's on the border), and we celebrated New Year there. On return, exam period commenced with much stress, as it does.




After an extra pinch of stress and house-drama, the partying and semi-relaxing began, with a trip to hand-feed some red deer and see some adorable otters! You have no idea how much I love these animals, they're definitely two of my many favourite species. Also have a bonus picture of a robin, because he looks cool.




This trip was, of course, followed by more drinking, country gig-going, and dissertation writing, which was again closely followed by a lot (I mean lot) of uni work and money-earning work. We also snuck in a quick trip to Alton Towers and to see the new Jungle Book movie, alongside a few other social events and barbecues since the weather was actually nice for some very extremely strange reason. 

It also wouldn't be right to go a year without my laptop breaking again, and so it died sometime in April. Bye bye hard drive and wifi chip, again. I ended up saying goodbye to my laptop, and using pretty much my life savings, buy a new one. RIP old laptop.

To make things even better, we also got burgled in May, losing our TV and a bottle of milk... Why they drank a bottle of milk is something we will forever be asking.

And so, I think that brings us up to now - my uni exams are done, my nail course is done and has gone away for assessment, my house mates have moved out and I get to sit here alone for a couple of weeks contemplating life and naily fun things to share with you guys.

In which case, I'm gonna go and do some nails, and catch you very, very soon.

Fridail: OPI Beach Sandies!

Happy Wednesday  Friday everybody! Where did the time go!? Anyway, we'll dive straight in with the post! I apologise in advance for the iPhone-quality of images, I'm still looking for some batteries that my camera won't complain about. Today I'm covering OPI's Beach Sandies from the Brazil collection, which is a little quartet of mini liquid sand polishes. Can I just say here, if anyone high up in the chain of OPI reads this (which is unlikely, but if you do then HI!), please please pleeeeease make these in full-sized bottles? Please! So... This is the box, and the four that you get (I swatched super quickly over each, so do excuse that)

LiL Challenge: Floral

Hello! Today's prompt for Life in Lacquer's July Nail Art Challenge is Floral! My initial reaction to this was "urgh. Great, I hate flowers." but then I found some really pretty designs around the internet and my spirits were lifted a little! (I really am crazy-impressed by a lot of these mind, they're so detailed and delicate and pretty)
