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 :-)

Maybelline Lady Liberty

I put this on top of Color Club Special Effects.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6). You need to dip the brush in and out a few times to make sure there is plenty on the brush. It was more dabbed on than painted! Looks nice over the red. Lasted well.
