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 :-)

W7 Twinkle Toes

This is the glitter I put on top of Orly Be Daring!!




This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (5-6 minutes a coat). Just dip the brush in and out a few times to get plenty of glitter on it for good coverage. I think it looks really nice over the purple Orly! Lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). This is a nice texture glitter and it's not too rough either! And it's a one coater! Lasted really well.

Sally Hansen Velour




This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It's a lovely purple with a kind of velvet finish. It really does look and feel velvet-like! Noticed tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

Avon Titanium

Barry M Black Grape




This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's a nice dark blue colour and it's very glossy! Lol with the name I kept thinking about Shaun Ryder!!! Didn't stain - so that's good. Slight tip wear though.

Rimmel Love Bug




This is difficult to use, difficult to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's really streaky and prone to bald patches. The brush is very thick, which is good because I would advise to keep brushstrokes to a minimum for better coverage. It's an okay yellow with a sorta matte chalky finish. Lasted well.
