I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

W7 - Matte Silver

W7 Matte Silver Nail Polish

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying on the first coat 1 minute but on the second takes longer. The formula is really good and goes on well and the brush is medium sized and good. It scuffs if you don't let it dry completely but after that it lasted well. This is a lovely matte silver polish, I really like it.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The formula is really good and the brush is wide and good. I really don't suit browns and not really a fan of them but this is okay. I only bought it to complete the Unexpected Paradise Set, used to be obsessive that way haha! It is really good quality though.

Barry M Coconut Cream Scented Nail Polish

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The formula is good and the brush is wide and good. The scent is faint and smells like cheap sweeties but there is a very faint coconut smell if you sniff it right under your nose! It is a nice enough grey. This lasted well BUT it does have a downside. After removal I had terrible, terrible yellow staining on my nails, which is still here a few weeks later!
