Holidays, Good News and Nail Polish...

Hi everyone!
Hope you're all well! I've only just got round to blogging now because I've been so busy since I landed back in England last week!
As you may know, from my previous post, I have been travelling around europe with a few of my friends. We were travelling using an interrail pass, which meant we could get free train journeys (I say free, the actual pass cost about £300...!) between countries. It also meant we had a lot of freedom to go where we wanted so we ended up going all over the place! A few highlights for me were seeing Milan and Florence, and blowing the last of my money in Paris! We also visited Prague, Vienna, Corfu, Nice and Rome where we ended up sleeping on the floor of an airport on two seperate occasions, and had a run in with some particularly angry pickpockets... so it was definitely a trip of highs and lows! I'm so glad I had the experience though and I would recommend it to everybody.

Arriving in Corfu just in time for the sunrise...
In other news, i'm actually riding a bit of a high at the moment because just this morning I took my driving test for the first time and passed it! With eight minors... but hey, a pass is a pass! I'm so pleased about this because driving did not come easily to me at first and i've been learning for almost two years now.
Anyway, enough of me rambling about what i've been up to. It's taken me a little while to get back into the swing of blogging after my exams, and what with my going away for three weeks, I havn't really had the chance to do much. So today I'm just going to leave you with a short note about a particular product that i'm loving at the moment.


These are the Barry M Foil Effects nail polishes in gold and silver and I absolutely love them! I'm not normally in to metallic nail varnishes, but I just love the way they make any outfit look that little bit more dressy. My favourite is the silver colour, it comes out very shiny, but the brush gives it a bit of texture so the finish is lovely. I normally apply about two coats, but if you're in a rush you could easily get away with one coat as they are pretty opaque already. The only downside, I would say, is that they take quite a while so dry and therefore smudge easily... a small price to pay though!
You can pick them up in Boots for £3.99 each. I would highly recommend doing so as they have become a must have for my nail polish collection.

Thanks for reading guys! Hope you're all enjoying the summer (it's actually raining outside as I type, so much for the Great British Summer...)!
Lily xoxo
