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 :-)

Models Own - Polychromatic

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying on the second coat (10 minutes) but the first coat does dry quickly. The brush is good and the formula is okay. It is nice enough but not really that iridescent as I would have expected. Lasted well.

Orly - Right Amount Of Evil

I put this on the last post. I really thought it would work, but it didn't! 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). This paints really well and no dabbing required! The brush is thin so make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The formula is good too. I like the polish just don't think it works too well with the sky blue. I think it would be good on white or black. This lasted really well.

Illamasqua - Noble

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is thin but easy to use and the formula is very good and goes on nicely. It is a gorgeous sky blue. I liked this and it lasted well.

Chanel - Fraicheur

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). Sadly this polish is quite sheer and requires 3 coats. The brush is thin and okay. It is a nice minty green with a subtle shimmer. You can see the shimmer in the bottle in the second photo. It doesn't really show too good on the nails sadly. This lasted well.

Color Club - Gingerbread

I put this on top of the last post




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is good. The formula is good and goes on well and paints nicely. It is a nice golden glitter. I think this combo looks quite festive! This lasted really well.

Inglot - 305

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (6-7 minutes a coat). The brush is thin and the formula is good. It is a lovely red with a subtle shimmer. This lasted well.

Orly - Lemonade

 




This is okay to use, dodgy to apply and okay drying (6-7 minutes a coat). The formula is really streaky and not so good. The brush is thin, that doesn't really help! A thicker brush would have been better. Careful application is required. This polish is also unforgiving to ridges :-( On the plus side, it did last well. There are way better yellows out there than this.

Morgan Taylor - Super Ultra Violet

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (5 minutes a coat). The formula is really good and the brush is good and small. It is a lovely bold blue and it is very glossy! 1 coat would do but I used 2 as I was taking photos! Lasted really well.
