Manicure Monday (1): Etiquette & Espionage


As you can see, I am trying out a new feature here on NL. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you've probably noticed that I have a slight obsession with nail polish. I love all makeup really but nail polish is sort of my thing and all my friends know me as a bit of a polish hoarder. So to spice things up I thought I would try out a new feature where I share what I am currently reading as well as what's currently on my nails. We'll see if this feature will stay depending on the feedback.

Etiquette & Espionage

So I've been reading Gail Carriger's Etiquette & Espionage. I am a big fan of her Parasol Protectorate series and was super excited to hear that she had a new YA series coming out. I am about a third of the way through the book right now and have stalled a bit. It's not that I am not enjoying it. I don't know what it is but it's just not as engrossing as I want it to be. It is very similar to Parasol though and if you like that series, I think you will really like this. I am setting it down for a little bit while I read some books for an author event coming up but I definitely want to finish it.

And on my nails is Barry M Magnetic Violet. Barry M is a brand only found in UK drugstores. It was sent to me by my friend in Scotland. I am not a huge fan of the magnetic trend since it requires a really steady hand, but I have to say that I had a lot of fun wearing this one. 

So what did you guys think of this post? Too weird? Am I the only one who likes nail polish? Leave your feedback in the comments below. Thanks!

  1. I love nail polish! Have you seen that new clear gel polish? You can use it with any color and it makes you regular nail polish last like a gel polish. I want to get some.


    I'm really excited about Etiquette and Espionage. I hope I like it. I liked Parasol so maybe I will.

  2. Pretty nails! They coordinate well with the book. I saw GC shared your post on her FB :)

    Looking forward to reading Etiquette & Espionage soon. Sorry to hear it's not quite clicking yet. But maybe a break will help.

    Looking forward to your next manicure/book pairing!

  3. I had to stop-and-start also because I couldn't concentrate on the book while riding the bus. Then made myself a huge pot of tea and finished the rest in one sitting. I can't wait to get my own hardcover so I can read it again!
