About Me

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 :-)

Essence - Polka Holga

So this is what I wore for Hallowe'en...yes, yes I know I am a bit late! Better late than never I say ;-)





This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the the formula goes on nicely. It is an amazingly bold orange colour. I put a white and black crackle polish over it to make it even more Hallowe'en like! I do think, though, that the crackle somehow made it appear more red than orange! This lasted really well.

Technic - Unicorn Tears

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The formula is good and the brush is good and medium sized. This looks good solo and over the dark colour. It has a lovely shimmer! This lasted really well.

Rimmel - Peppermint

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is slightly streaky on the first coat but okay on the second and try to keep brushstrokes to a minimum. The brush is good and wide. It is a lovely minty colour. Lasted really well.

Essence - Wanna Be Your Sunshine

 



This is okay to use, okay to apply and slowish drying (5-6 minutes a coat), The brush is wide and decent but the formula isn't so good. It is kind of typical of a yellow, streaky and hard to work with. It does build up decently on 3 coats! Sadly it is unforgiving to ridges :-| In saying all that, it is a lovely yellow with a subtle shimmer. Lasted realy well.
