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 :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is small but really good and the formula is really good. This is a nice sparkly shimmery polish, kinda made me think of the Festive Season for some reason! Lovely.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). This brush is medium sized and good and the formula goes on well too. This is a nice coral colour but I'm not really into corals so much. Not really my thing. Good quality though.

This first 3 photos in the sunshine and the last 3 are in artificial light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin but good and the formula goes on really well. It is a amazing and strong red holographic polish. I love how it looks in the sun and in artificial light. This lasted really well.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). The brush is thin and okay. The fomula is sheer but goes on well and builds up nicely with 3 coats. I like the colour but it's not really a finish I like. This did last really well.

First 2 photos are artificial light, third is with the flash and the last 2 are in the sunshine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and really good and the formula is great. AND this is a ONE COATER! AND it lasted really well. It is a gorgeous green holo polish.
