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 :-)

Barry M - Rock Pool

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). Both formula and brush are really good, the brush is wide. It is a lovely teal colour, it does show more blue-ish in the photos but was hard to capture, even in daylight with my phone camera! This lasted really well.

Technic - Flamingo

 


This is easy to use, okay to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium and good. Formula is okay but make brushstrokes minimal and plenty polish on the brush as it is prone to bald spots. It is a lovely bright semi matte polish. I do like a good neon! It lasted okay and noticed some tip wear.

Kiko - Allegory Of Spring (Tuscan Sunshine Collection)

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but good and the formula goes on nicely. This is also scented and smells like flowers. The scent was strong at first and lasted for at least 19 hours. The polish itself lasted well too.

W7 - Nebula

 



This is easy to use, okay to apply and slow drying (7-8 minutes a coat). The brush is really good but the formula is slightly brush-strokey so minimisse strokes to stop this from happening! It is a lovely metallic purple. Totally gorgeous and lasted well.
