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 :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is thick and good and the fomula goes on well too. It is a cute pink and also UV as you can see in the last photo. This lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the formula goes on nicely. It is nice and slightly iridescent with a nice shimmer. This is one coat but got slight tip wear so use 2 coats as I think that would solve this problem.

a-England - Shakespeare's Sister

 





First 3 photos in the sunshine, last in artificial light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good. The formula is good and goes on well too. It is a gorgeous pink holo and looks good in the sun and good in the artificial light as well. Sadly this didn't last so well, it scuffed after a day so wear a top coat with it, that would probably help with longevity.

Orly - Sweet Dreams

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The bottle is a mini and the brush is very good. The formula is also good too. This is a nice grey with a lovely purple shimmer. I like greys but need to be in the mood for them! This lasted well.

China Glaze - Exceptionally Gifted

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula is okay, careful application is needed to avoid brushstrokes! It is a nice pearly pink colour.

Models Own - Grace Green

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula goes on well too. It is a kinda greeny grey colour I think. It is a one coater!!! It did suffer tip wear, so 2 coats would probably be better. Okay if you want to wear it for a night though. I actually liked this one more than I thought I would!
