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 :-)

Avon Shipwreck

This is a fairly recent release from Avon.




(with added cat hair ;->)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute for each coat). The brush is really good, it seems to have got better since I lasted used an Avon polish! It's a kinda lime green with flakies. Lasted well. One problem, I wore this a good few days back and I've still got a few flakies - they are a devil to remove, even scraping them off is hard!

Rating
Easy to use = 8/10
Application = 8/10
Drying time = 9/10
Lasted well = 8/10
Coats = 2
Finish = glossy with flakies/small shards
Removal = tricky even with the foil :-|
Overall = 7/10
Purchased from = Avon website

My Personal Rating = 6.5/10 it's okay - not that fussed by the colour tho

  3. Wow, it looks veeeery juicy :) I like the colour, but I guess I prefer watching it on screen than on my nails, I still find some greens hard to wear. But I like the photos very much, this nail polish is like a fruit :) Don't worry about cat's hair, I've noticed them after taking some photos lately too. She just looses too much hair ;)

    1. Yeah I suppose it does! I thought the colour was okay - but I did like the effect! Some greens are hard to wear yeah. :-)

      Hehe yeah I think it's the time of year when they cast hair like mad and my two females are very hairy!
