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 :-)

Last 2 in artificial light all the rest are in the sunshine!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat). The brush is wide and the fomula is really good. Barry M released these fairly recently! It is a really super holo, it looks amazing in the sunshine and good in other lighting. It has a kinda purple sheen in artificial light as well. This got slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (9-10 minutes a coat). This brush is medium sized and good and the formula goes on really well. It is a cute pink with lovely holo sparkles. It looks good in the sun and in artificial light. This lasted really well.

I bought this polish in 2011, see here and I am just getting around to wearing it in 2025 haha!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin so have plenty polish on it and the formula is okay. Not too bad for a yellow. Some yellows can have a terrible formula. This is a nice bold yellow and it lasted really well.

Kleancolor - Fuchsia Glitter (FAIL)

Some polishes do deteriorate over time. They can dry out and with some the glitters dissolve, like this polish.

I won't rate this. I just wanted to Blog it before I binned it. It is meant to be a pink based polish with holographic hex glitters and little glitter dots. Oh well I won't be keeping this one. 

I have some polishes from the mid 1990s and they are still in good condition. I probably bought this about 8 years ago! Too many nail polishes and not enough time!
