Nails of the Day feat. Rimmel

This posts Nails of the Day features Rimmel's gorgeous baby blue colour in the shade 'Too Cool To Tango' (Picture above).

I love blue nail polishes, especially baby blue ones, and I think this is a perfect colour for Summer! The fact it dries in 60 seconds is even better especially if you are in a hurry when doing your nails. Some nail polishes say they are quick drying when in fact they are not (I think so anyway) but this one does exactly what it says. I love Rimmel nail polishes due to their consistency and their brushes. They go onto the nails easily and do not start to chip until about three days after application. 

I am going to start doing Nails of the Day posts more regularly as I am nail polish obsessed and I am always on the hunt for new unique colours.
I have also just finished college for the summer so I will definitely be posting more often and as usual suggestions are welcome!

My Top Reads for 2014 so far

Bonjour!
As a lot of you may probably know, I am a huge huge HUGE reader and could read for Ireland. The genres I mostly read are chick-lit and biographies. I have a huge interest in ghosts, haunted stories etc, so I am going to start reading books based on them. If anyone has any recommendations then please comment below and let me know.
I will list my favourite books that I have read so far this year but they are not listed in any particular order. 


1. Anthony Kiedis - Scar Tissue

My sister has always loved the Red Hot Chili Peppers and of course has always loved Anthony Kiedis. This book had been sitting around my house for years and I had been meaning to read it for too long. Eventually I found the time to start reading it and instantly fell in love with it. Not only was this book a page turner, it was a real eye opener into the difficulties surrounding drug use. Of course I have a huge interest in the area of drugs & addiction due to the nature of my college course.
This is a definite must read even for people who are not huge fans of the Chili Peppers! I have so much respect for Anthony Kiedis and I praise him on his success in his career and for the courage he showed during his continuous battle with drugs. 
This is a no brainer guys - Pick yourself up a copy and read it asap! 



2. Brian Keenan  - An Evil Cradling

This is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read! Brian Keenan is a Journalist who was kidnapped in Lebanon in 1986 and held hostage for four years. This book, in detail, captures his time spent in captivity including how he was blindfolded and chained at the hands and feet for the majority of his ordeal. 



3. J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye

I'm sure most of you have at least heard of this book or even read it. In this books Holden Caulfield recounts his expulsion from his school which he then leaves early and describes his journey where he talks to numerous people including nuns and prostitutes. The ending reveals a shocking part of Caulfield's life but I will not say what as it will ruin the book for those who have not read it.


4. Dynamo - Nothing is Impossible: My Story  

The main reason why I enjoyed this book so much is because of  how Dynamo describes his past and childhood in great detail. Dynamo was born in Bradford where he was brought up by his single mother who was only 16 when Dynamo was born. Dynamo had a tough upbringing and was later diagnosed with Crohn's Disease.
This book recaptures Dynamo's journey to becoming a famous street magician and how influential his Grandfather was with Dynamo's magic.
Many of you are probably thinking that magic 'isn't real' etc etc, and no one knows whether what Dynamo does is real or not, including me. Despite this I have always enjoyed watching his show and I enjoyed this book even more. I highly recommend it and can promise you that it is a real page turner. 


I have listed my favourite books that I think will interest most people instead of focusing on one genre. If anyone decides to read any of the above books then I really hope you enjoy them and would love to hear your thoughts on them. 

Au revoir,
