Merry Christmas

I hope you all had a lovey Christmas and hope Santa brought plenty of nail polishes :-D

Quiet here!

It will be quiet here in the next few weeks as I am working my way through the Ciate Advent Calendar on my other blog--> See Here!

Things will get back on track soon :-)

Colour Alike V Village

It was a sunny day in Scotland, once, so holo time!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). As with all CA polishes this dries and had a slight scent. It is a gorgeous green holo! I was impressed as it looks fab in the sunsine. Lasted well.

Avon Galaxy

This is easy to use, okay to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). And it is a one coater! It is slightly brush-strokey, so be careful with application. I think 2 coats might have been better. Noticed slight tip wear too.

Colour Alike 606 Yellow Flash

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The 1st coat is streaky, but I used a thinner coat and for the 2nd coat was less streaky as it was thicker. It is a very nice bright neon! Lasted well.

And with all CA's polishes this one is slightly scented too!

Holiday Hauls

I have been travelling a lot lately and decided that every country I visit, I would buy nail polish. Only seems logical ;-) Not sure the boyfriend agrees, but at least he puts up with it LOL ;-)

First up was Greece:

Then Albania:

Then Amsterdam:

And finally Paris:

We visited Belfast too, didn't get the chance to buy any polish. So will need to visit Belfast again ;-)

Colour Alike 608 Hot Red

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). Like all CA polishes, it dries and is slightly scented - kind of like sweeties! It's a gorgeous bold neon. I would say it is more a coral colour than red - but I still like it a lot. Lasted well.

Seventeen Foil Fusion Pink

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It is slightly brush strokey so plenty on the brush for a decent finish. It is a pretty colour and lasted well. One coater and I think this would be a great polish for stamping!
