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 :-)

China Glaze - De-Light

I put this on top of Rimmel's Hot Gossip from the other blog!



This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is good and one coat gives really good coverage. It is a gold glitter with holo bar glitters. It does catch a little on clothes and hair, but for whatever reason I didn't use a top coat with this. It does last well and looks nice. Festive do you think?

OPI - Comet In The Sky

I put this over Miss Beauty Neon Green, from the other blog! 



This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is more like dabbing than painting to get good coverage of the glitters on the nail. The brush is good. This look great on the green I think and it is a crazy mix of glitters! It didn't catch on anything, like some glitters do and it lasted really well.

OPI - A Definite Moust Have

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). This is a mini bottle but the brush is fairly decent, just make sure you have plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The formula is good too. It is a lovely pink with a nice subtle blue shimmer. I did notice slight tipwear but lasted well otherwise.

Deborah Lippmann - Amazing Grace

 


This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The formula is quite streaky and the brush is thin, which isn't ideal for a streaky polish! Make sure you have plenty polish on the brush while painting. It does require 3 coats but is quick drying at least! I think it does look fab and a good white, with a nice finish. And it lasted really well.

Chanel - Pirate

 


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is thin so have plenty polish on it for good coverage. The formula is good and goes on nicely. It really is a lovely red and lasted so well. Good quality.
