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 :-)

Essence - Don't Stop Believing

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 5 minutes a coat).The formula is good and the brush is medium sized and good too. It is a nice deep cherry colour. I must a loads of this sort of colour and finish haha! This one is okay but noticed tip wear, which is common for the type of finish sadly.

Barry M - Blueberry Bonbon

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 4 minutes a coat). The brush is good and the formula is okay. This is a scented polishes and smells nice, certainly very like blueberries! I really could smell it as I was painting my nails too! The colour is okay, nothing special really and sadly the scent only lasted for about 4 hours!!! The polish lasted well though.

Sally Hansen - Pumped Up Pink

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). Definitely not insta dri as it advertised! The brush and formula are both really good. It is a pretty pink with a subtle silver shimmer. Lasted really well.

Miss Beauty - 383 Electric

Hello everyone!! I am finally back! Between life, a kid and work - really not had much time to blog or paint my nails. I will try to post as much as I can. Thanks to everyone for their kind and nice messages.

I have also started another blog with photos too: https://ananka1.blogspot.com/ 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (6-7 minutes a coat). This brush is thin but it is good and the formula is good and goes on nicely. It is a mega lovely bright blue. This lasted really well and is gorgeous. I can forgive the slow drying!
