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 :-)

First 4 photos in artificial light and the last is in the sunhine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (10 minutes a coat). This formula is really good and goes on well and the brush is good too. This was hard to capture! It is sort of orangey coral with a slight pink shimmer and golden shimmer. You can see the pink shimmer in the 4th photo and the golden shimmer in the last photo. This is really lovely and lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. A thin coat took about 2 minutes a coat and a thicker coat took much longer around 7 minutes. The brush is good and the formula goes on well too. It is a nice purple glittery jelly polish. This lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the formula is great. 1 coat would do but as I was taking close-up photos I used 2. It is a gorgeous dark fuchsia with sparkles. Noticed slight tipwear but lasted well otherwise.
