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 :-)

Rimmel - Orange Bliss

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but good and the formula is okay. It is a gorgeous orange, totally loving it. I sadly noticed tip wear after 12 hours, but lasted well otherwise.

Kiko - Twee Rose (Arctic Holiday Collection)

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but really good and the polish goes on nicely. It is a lovely glitter both as a topper and solo. It also didn't catch on anything, always a bonus with these glitters! Lasted really well.

Kiko - Pindaric Flight (Tuscan Sunshine Collection)

 


This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). It is quite a sheer polish and the formula is quite runny too. The brush is wide and good. This is also scented and smells like pretty flowers. Sadly this polish is unforgiving to ridges, which I have. This lasted well and is nice enough.

Accessorize - Leopard Moth

 


This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin and you need plenty of polish on it for good coverage. The formula is quite sheer and needs 3 coats for a good finish - but drying time is good so this isn't really an issue. This isn't rough at all and lasted really well.

Essence - #Rebel

I put this over a polish from the other blog - OPI's Chic From Ears To Tail!



This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is more dabbing the glitters on than painting but it is easy enough to do, just make sure there are plenty on the brush for good coverage. I think this is a strange mix of glitters haha! I like it on the pink and think it would look good on a few other colours too. It didn't catch on anything and lasted really well.
