Book Corner- Review : Girl With A Pearl Earring.

Girl With A Pearl Earring- Tracy Chevalier.
I haven't been running my blog long enough for you guys to know that I love books. I love nothing more than a long bath with my book and to get so into it that I don't even notice that the water is cold. This is a book I finished yesterday and you can follow me on Goodreads if you want to see more about my books that I want to read and have read. 
           Girl with a Pearl Earring centers on Vermeer's prosperous Delft household during the 1660s. When Griet, the novel's quietly perceptive heroine, is hired as a servant, turmoil follows. First, the 16-year-old narrator becomes increasingly intimate with her master. Then Vermeer employs her as his assistant--and ultimately has Griet sit for him as a model. Chevalier vividly evokes the complex domestic tensions of the household, ruled over by the painter's jealous, eternally pregnant wife and his taciturn mother-in-law. At times the relationship between servant and master seems a little anachronistic. Still, Girl with a Pearl Earring does contain a final delicious twist.  
Well done if you read that.  It isn't the best of summary's but if I tried to write my own summary you wouldn't understand a word. This book is mysterious and amazing written. 
If you are wondering Vermeer was a real painter and Girl with a Pearl Earring is a real painting. But what Tracy has done is taken a painting of a girl no-one knew anything about, and made a story about her.
Girl with a Pearl Earring is a real painting. But what Tracy has done is taken a painting of a girl no-one knew anything about, and made a story about her.
No one knew anything about the girl in the painting at all, but she has written this so well that I thought it was a true story until I did some research myself.
It is an extraordinary book and I recommend. 
5 out of 5. 
If you have any book recommendations PLEASE tell me.

OPI wants.

Hello everyone :) Today's post is going to be about OPI Nail polishes. I have 1 OPI nail polish and it's a top coat, and I was thinking about it and I really want to get some OPI coloured nail polish. So I was going through them and I thought I'd make a post about the ones I am going to first buy and start my collection with.
Big Apple Red. With a classic red you can't go wrong.
 

Jade is The New Black. Perfect green, not too bright and not too dark.
 You Don't Know Jacques. A taupe-grey that is simple and chic.
On The Same Paige. I love darks and brights, but oranges and yellows are my downfalls. Love them to death.  Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is defiantly mine.
And finally Do You Lilac It? I have honestly been wanting this for about 2-3 years. It will definatly be the first one I buy. It is my favourite purple in the entire world. 

So that is all the colours that I would start off with and that are my favourites. I wouldn't buy them all at once because I think they are about £11-£15 which for a nail varnish is I would say very expensive. If you have a favourite colour then post it down in the comments. 
See you soon :)
