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 :-)

Flormar - 391 Ash Cloud

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is very sheer but builds up nicely on the third coat. It is a black polish with silver glitters. Looks pretty cool and is well named! Lasted okay.

Kiko - Silver Sand

Another one from the Metal Fusion collection.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is a orangy brown colour with a silver shimmer. And it is a one coater! I guess it does look a little like a sandy colour! Got to say it lasted very well for one coat! It is not really my colour!

Barry M - Lavender

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat, but okay on the second! It is a nice pale lilac purple colour. I do like this colour and it lasted well.

Poundland - Valentine's Day Red

This one was out for Valentine's Day and I am just getting around to wearing it!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a lovely red. The formula was really good and the brush was good too. Lasted really well.

Moyra - Green Light

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous bright neon textured polish. It is rough but doesn't catch on anything. One for the texture connoisseur I think! Looks like grass to me! Loved it and it lasted well.

Flormar - Dry Ocean Matte M12

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a nice dark blue matte polish, though I think it has a sort of rubber finish. Lasted well.

Angelica - Merino

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). 1 thick coat would have done, but I used 2. It is a black with blue sparkles. It has a satiny finish. Lasted really well.
