Bonjour!

Well, this is my first post on my own blog! I have been following a few beauty blogs religiously for a while, and I get so excited when I discover a new one, so I thought I would get myself out there and join in! So this is going to be my place that I can go to, to talk about make up, nail art, fashion, health and whatever else takes my fancy!

I chose the name Lashes and Lacquer because these are my two beauty essentials. I am one of those people who are constantly on the lookout for the ultimate mascara, one that will curl, lengthen AND volumise all at once, without breaking the bank. So that's the Lashes part...and Lacquer (which is a word I will probably never use but I wanted something alliterative!) is because I am obsessed with all things nail related! I love love love painting my nails (and do so almost every other day!) and messing around with nail art, although it is something I need to practice as I'm not all that skilled at it at the present!

And talking of skills, I'd just like to say from the offset that I am not an expert in anything! I don't know much about make up, or nail varnish, or fashion, it's just something that I am interested in. I love reading other people's blogs and would just like to have somewhere to talk about what I like, what I don't, what I've tried, what I haven't, what I would like to try! And it would be nice to think that somebody might actually read this someday and be interested, unlike my boyfriend, who gets a little sick of me reviewing my latest mascara find to him!!

So, I don't really have much to say or show in this first post, other than this quick introduction! If anyone is reading, hope you've enjoyed and stay tuned for more fun and frolics in the future!
