Topic Tuesday: Favourite Holographic Finish

I like all holographic polishes, however if I had to choose it would be linear because it's like a rainbow in direct light, where the light creates a rainbow spreading outwards from the centre.

Such as Cupcake Polish Berry Looking Good

Nail Polish Swatch: Barry M - Spicy Mango (Summer 2021 Gellys)

Barry M released a range of six gelly polishes for Summer 2021. I have compared this one to previous gelly polishes. I don't think they are actual dupes of any others but they are very similar. Spicy Mango is most like Satsuma but slighter darker.

Topic Tuesday: How Do You Photograph Your Nails

This week the answer is pretty simple, I use my phone, currently a S10 Lite. Nine times out of 10 I am holding a piece of black velvet material to make sure my fingers are on a good angle so you can see the designs. Otherwise for polish swatches I hold the bottle so we know what polish I am wearing.
