Scotland
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Sally Hansen Golden Tourmaline

Yet another sunny day in Scotland and another holo *gasp*!





This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (about 4 minutes for a coat). It's also slightly smelly - not too bad though but it is noticeable! I didn't use the Aqua Base for this polish either. I think it's a stunning holo polish and it really comes to life in the sun! I really like this one! So pretty! Noticed some tip wear after a while, but lasted okay otherwise.
