H&M Amaranthine

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is nice iridescent shimmery polish. Pink, bronze, coppery and golden colours can be seen. I thought it was nice and lasted really well.

NYC Midtown Muse

This is easy to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat and okay on the second, but looking at my photos, I am thinking 3 coats would have been better! It is a lovely mint choc chip nail polish! I like these sort. Lasted well.

Nail Art - Burns Night

Today we Celebrate Burns Night in Scotland. It is in honour of our famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_supper. I decided to try simple nail art for this day!

And products used:

China Glaze Fairy Dust, LA Colors Nail Art Pen, OPI Keeping Suzi at Bay and Barry M Nail Effects White.

I am quite happy with the final manicure though it isn't really great, but my first attempt! Happy Burns Night :-D

Claire's Blue Pastel Sand

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes - usually textures are quicker). It is a gorgeous light blue texture with a lovely golden shimmer. It is very textured, but doesn't catch on anything. I think it kinda looks like snowfall, certainly wintry anyway! Lasted really well.

Wibo Blink Blink 5

Another of the holiday hauls, Greece this time.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and makes it easy to paint the nails with. I think it is a strange polish but interesting and I like it. I don't normally like browns, but the glitter makes it appealing. Lasted well.
