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 :-)

Colorii Give Me Gold

Another of the holiday hauls, this time France.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is a nice gold colour and I think it would be nice as a topper too. Not sure it is really my colour though :-| Lasted really well.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and are all sorted for New Year!

Another of the holiday hauls, Greece this time.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is sheer on the first coat, but builds up well on the second and third. It is a gorgeous creamy purple. Lasted really well.

Gabrini Matte M15

Another of the holiday hauls, this time Albania.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and makes it easy to paint the nail with. It is a matte polish with slight sparkles! Lasted really well and no staining! And a one coater!

Flormar Pink Pearl

This is yet another Holiday Haul, Amsterdam this time.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and slowing drying (7-8 minutes a coat). The brush is good but thin and the polish is very brush-strokey, as can been seen! I think it is a delicate colour and not really for me, I don't know why I bought it! Lasted well.

Yes Love G5-4

Another holiday haul! Spain this time.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and it is nice painting the nails. The formula is also good too. It's a gorgeous green with a lovely silver shimmer. Lasted really well.
