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 :-)

OPI Tangerini Bikini

I last wore this a few years ago and fancied wearing it again. As it approaches Halloween I always seem to be attracted to orange! This isn't a very Halloween orange though, but this is hehe.
With flash.


Natural light.



This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly slow drying for an OPI - probably because it's an older one? Brush is excellent and the lid is very comfortable to hold. It lasted well for sure! Lovely orange colour

Illamasqua Charisma

Another new one! I had pre-ordered this and the other one (coming soon) and they arrived the other day.


With flash.

Natural light.


This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. 1 coat did the trick and was rich enough. It's like a lovely deep reddish colour almost raspberry like. Lasted well.

Chanel Delicatesse

How modern am I? Hehe! This is one of the new Chanel polishes from 2012 Fashion Night Out.


With flash.

And finally natural light.





This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying! The brush is excellent and the lid is easy to hold making it easy to paint the nails. It lasted well, couldn't believe it! Top notch. Now I'm not a fan of 'browns' but there is something about this one I really like. LOL Mr Posh reckons it is because it's a Chanel! Reminds me of caramels and chocolate, both are things I cannot eat due to being Lactose Intolerant!

OPI I'm All Ears

This is a pretty pinky colour from the Minnie Mouse Collection that was out fairly recently.


Flash.

And in the sunshine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The first coat was pretty weak but the second was fine. It's sorta pinky with a subtle blue glitter, you can just about make it out in the second bottle picture!

Chanel 563 Vertigo

This is one of the new (well over here certainly!) polishes from Chanel. I'd say it's a hard colour to describe! Hmmm grey in some lights and brown in others with a red shimmer to it!



All with flash.



This is easy to use, easy to apply and very good quality. LOL you would expect it of Chanel! It is quick drying and lasted well! Not sure how to classify the colour but I love it nonetheless!
