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 :-)

Kiko - Pearly Hot Pink (019)

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It is a lovely pink with a subtle shimmer. It is nice and the brush is really good, though it is small but nice to paint the nails with. Lasted well.

Yes Love - G3-6

 This is one of the Holiday Hauls from Spain.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous black polish with different coloured glitters in it. It has little silver ones and slightly larger ones that are red, yellow, green and purple. It is textured too. Looks good I think. Got slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.
