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 :-)

Chanel Gold Fingers

Was lucky enough to pick this one up! It's amazingly gorgeous :-)



Artificial light.



And natural light.



All above 2 coats.

This is excellent! It's easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush rocks! I'd say it's more of a Christmas nail polish for sure. Haha was wearing it and started to get in the mood for Christmas LOL. It's golden with a very subtle hint of both green and red which you need good light and good eyes to see. Lasted well.

8 out of 10. £18 from Chanel.

Estee Lauder Wild Storm

I had been after this one for a long time and finally bought it recently! Was quite hard to come by and had to try a few Debenhams to get it!



Artificial light.


 With flash.
And finally natural light (in the driveway).
All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use and easy to apply. The brush is okay, not the best considering the price! It's quick drying but the 1st coat was streaky and the 2nd was fine. It's certainly a nice gunmetal colour. I do like it and it lasted well.

7 out of 10. Debenhams for £14.

Illamasqua Monogamous

I picked up all the new Illamasqua Naked Strangers collection from Debenhams and this was the one I picked to wear first. It's a peachy matte.


All artificial light.




 All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use and easy to apply. Like all matte polishes, it's quick drying. The first coat was pretty streaky but the second was fine. It's a peachy colour but I'm not really into this sort of colour and I doubt I'd have bought it had it not been matte. I do really like it because it's matte. Good quality and lasted longer than other mattes I've tried.

7 out of 10. £13.50 from Illamasqua counters and their website.

Chanel 617 Holiday

This is one of the newish Chanel polishes that I picked up from Frasers. It's a nice shade of orange.

Natural light.


And with flash.
All above 1 coat!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and is quick drying. Like all Chanels, the brush is excellent and the polish is good quality. It's a nice orange, not too over-powering, neon or bright. It's no in yer face! One coat did the trick and looked lovely. It lasted well.

Max Factor Nailfinity Wine Red

This is one of my well used reds! It's Mr Posh's favourite red of all time.


All in the sun.



And in the shade.

All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use and easy to apply. The lid is excellent and the brush rocks. It's very quick drying and is probably one of my favourite reds too! Lasted well and is good quality. An all round goodie.

8 out of 10. Can't remember where I got it, as it's a good few years old. But I've seen it on Amazon, eBay and in Boots and the bigger supermarkets too. Easy enough to come by.

Deborah Lippmann Private Dancer

I do love these polishes and had to order this one from the US. It's amazing and awesome and iridescent and metallic.



Natural light.




Artificial light

All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. Note though the 1st coat is weak and streaky but the 2nd is fine. I thought it would have needed 3 coats, but 2 coats are fine. It changes from purple to gold and it's a lovely metallic purple. It's gorgeous and lasted well. Love it :-)

9 out 10. I'd try eBay. Hopefully will come over here soon *fingers crossed*.
