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 :-)

Lulaa - Holographic 11

 






Last photo is inside lights and all others are in the sunshine. 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (6-7 minutes a coat at least). It is very sheer and I have used 3 coats here but you can still see how super holographic it is! This polish is slightly smelly but didn't bother me though and I have a strong sense of smell. The brush and formula are both good. This might work better as a topper and it is a wonderful holo! Lasted really well.

Catrice - Easy Peasy Green Squeezy




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good, the formula is also really good. It is a lovely shimmery geen that is slightly iridescent going from green to blue. This last really well.

Barry M - Soft Lace

 I am finally back! Hope everyone is well.





This is okay to use, okay to apply but it is slightly lumpy and I think that may be due to the fact it is textured. This is also very slow drying (over 10 minutes a coat). This brush is really good but the formula not so much! It is textured and has a nice candy floss finish, they really nailed it I think. It is a nice colour and it lasted really well.

Sally Hansen - Pumpkin Spice

I put this on top of the last post: Asda George Black Denim




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is small but good and the formula is good. I think this looks really good over black, I think it might be too sheer to be a solo polish. The ideal Hallowe'en polish too haha! Lasted really well.

Asda George - Black Denim

 



This is okay to use, okay to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). This brush is small so you need plenty polish on it for good coverage. The formula is good and goes on nicely. The lid was a bit tricky at first to hold and paint but by the second coat, I got the knack of it. It is lovely and lasted well. Not sure it is a "denim" finish though!

Moyra - Party Pink

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). Both brush and formula are really good. It is a gorgeous sparkly textured pink colour. This lasted really well and is totally gorgeous.
