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 :-)

Kiko - Golden Lavender (Holographic)

 



Last photo studio lighting, all others in the sunshine!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (7-8 minutes a coat). The others in this collection are also slow. The formula is really good and the brush too. This is a lovely purple holographic polish that has a slight shimmer too, you can just make it out in the second photo at the side of the bottle. Sadly this shimmer isn't really visible on the nails. This lasted really well and is truly gorgeous!

Barry M - Crown

Bit late with this one! Barry M released 2 polishes to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee this year. This is one of them and the other was a silver, which I'll get around to wearing and posting.



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and easy to use and the formula is really good and goes on nicely. It is a kinda yellow toned gold and nice but sadly doesn't really suit me. I find these colours don't look too good on me! It is great quality and lasted really well, just not my colour.

Make Up Gallery - Purple Sheen

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula is also good and goes on nicely. It is an amazingly gorgeous purple shimmery iridescent polish!!!! Totally loved wearing this one and it lasted well.

Rimmel - Coral Crush

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). Both the brush and formula are good. It is a lovely pinky peachy colour with a great shimmer. It is really lovely and lasted really well.
