About Me

My photo
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 :-)

OPI - Senorita Rose Alita

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush and formula are both good. 1 coat would have done but as I was talking photos I did 2 coats. It is a really nice pink with a cool golden shimmer. This lasted really well.

a-England - Let Me In

 





Last photo indoors all others in the sun.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat) AND it is a one coater! The brush is medium sized and good. The formula is a tad thick but okay to work with. It is a nice enough holo, but not that strong in the sunshine. Nice enough colour.

Color Club - Killer Curves

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a mini bottle and the brush is thin but good. The formula is good too. It is a nice vampy colour.

OPI - Panda-Monium Pink

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is really good. The formula is okay, it is really sheer and requires 3 coats. This polish isn't very good for ridges. I got this a long time ago and thinking it might be a fake, I remember back in the early 2010s there were a lot of fake OPIs going around. This lasted well but I really don't like the colour so much.
