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 :-)

Life sucks :'.'.'.-(

Just to let everyone know I'll not be about for the next few months. Got some really bad news and it means that we need to find a new house to live in as soon as :-(

I've been packing like mad and my nails aren't looking too great. Been stressed to the max also.

It's a pity, before the bad news Mr Economy ordered a fancy light for holo pics, haven't even had time to try it out :-(

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Perfect Holographic H2

Another sunny day, another holo!




This is  easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. This one was slightly weaker than the last Perfect Holographic I tried and needs 2 coats. Used with the Aqua Base coat again. It's an amazing and immense holo!!!! Lasted really well.

Rating
Easy to use = 8/10
Application = 8/10
Drying time = 8/10
Lasted well = 8/10
Coats = 2
Finish = holo-tastic!
Removal = okay just make sure you have plenty of remover on the pad
Overall = 8/10
Purchased from = polishinail.com for about £4, I think you can get it cheaper but my package (more holos + others) arrived quickly and safely :-)

My Personal Rating = 9/10 gorgeous and I love this so much :-)

Perfect Holographic H1

OMG I picked these up last week and with the sun out decided to try one!





This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. I used it with the NFU Oh Aqua Base, as I do with all holos! It's a small, dinky bottle similar to the Max Factor ones. The brush is excellent and the lid is nice to hold too. Just make sure there is plenty on the brush and be careful with your strokes too. Lasted really well and is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Jade Musa Do Verao




This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It is a bit smelly though, probably because it has a few nasty chemicals. It's a pinky orange colour. Lasted really well and it's pretty.
