About Me

My photo
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 :-)

Maybelline Lady Liberty

I put this on top of Color Club Special Effects.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6). You need to dip the brush in and out a few times to make sure there is plenty on the brush. It was more dabbed on than painted! Looks nice over the red. Lasted well.

Essence There's No Place Like Chrome

Another from the Holiday Hauls - Amsterdam this time.
This is okay to use and okay to apply. The formula was very thick, maybe I had a bad bottle? It was slow drying too, as it was thick (10). It is a nice black matte polish with sparkles. Almost metallic matte! Lasted well. One coater!
