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 :-)

Seventeen Polka Dots Nail Effects Blue Mix

This is from the new set of Seventeen polishes from Boots. I put it over OPI Sorry I'm Fizzy Today. :-)



This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes for a coat). It dries kind of matte like - which surprised me but I think it's pretty cool :-) I got really good coverage for 1 coat and minimal dabbing was required. I found it best to dip the lid in and out a few time before painting the nails - this way I got lots of dots on the brush. It's a good match for the pink :-). Swatched so no lasting time.

Overall = 8/10

    1. Yeah it is! The brand is sold in a health & beauty shop called Boots and this is one of their lines. It used to be called "17" but they renamed it to "Seventeen" not that long ago! :-)
