About Me

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 :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is a nice gold colour and I think it would be nice as a topper too. Not sure it is really my colour though :-| Lasted really well.

Flormar Pink Pearl

This is yet another Holiday Haul, Amsterdam this time.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and slowing drying (7-8 minutes a coat). The brush is good but thin and the polish is very brush-strokey, as can been seen! I think it is a delicate colour and not really for me, I don't know why I bought it! Lasted well.
