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 :-)

Lulaa - Holographic 10

 



Last photo indoor lighting, all others in the sun!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8 or more minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the formula goes on nicely too. The polish has a slight smell to it but if you are used to doing your nails, it won't bother you and this does fade after the polish is dry. It is a gorgeous blue silver holographic and looks amazing both indoors and outdoors in the sun. This lasted really well. It is the second from this brand and apart from the slow drying, been really impressed.

W7 - Golden Debris

I put this on top of the last post - Rimmel Misty Jade.




This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8-9 minutes a coat). You only need 1 coat and it does give good coverage. Looks okay over the green and it is a nice mix of glitters. I think this glitter is more suited to Autumn though! Lasted well.

Rimmel - Misty Jade

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is quite a sheer polish and requires at least 3 coats! The brush is really good and the formula, despite being sheer, does go on nicely. It is really a pretty green, I think. This lasted really well.

Barry M - Socialite

 




Last photo in the sun, all others indoor lighting.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is good it is medium sized and the formula went on nicely. It is a gorgeous pink with holo sparkly glitters and other sorts of glitters too and it is slightly iridescent. Looks amazing and lasted really well.

Kiko - Sweet Armony (Unexpected Paradise)

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the formula applies nicely. AND it is a one coater too! It is a nice disky pink colour. Really pretty and lasted well.

Home Bargains - Blue Glitter

I put this on top of China Glaze's Petal To The Metal, from the other blog



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The brush is good and one coat gives decent coverage for a topper. It looks nice on the pink and pops I think. This lasted really well.

Lulaa - Holographic 9

A new brand to my blog today: Lulaa.




Last photo indoor lighting all others in the sun!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (10 mintutes a coat at least). The brush is really good and the formula is super. I did notice the polish has a slight smell, but nothing too bad. If you paint your nails a lot this won't bother you. It didn't bother me and I have a really good sense of smell! The smell, however, does fade when the polish is fully dry. This is a gorgeous orange holo and you see the rainbows equally well in the sun and artificial lighting. Lasted really well too. Was very impressed with this brand and the slow drying is well worth the wait!
