Just a tester really to see where I can improve. I will be getting a better camera soon, at the moment I am just using my iPhone.
The first polish I tried was part of the Zoya 'Surf Collection'. This is one of the more expensive nail polishes I will show, mostly they will less than £5. I got this as part of a grab bag from http://www.polishedcriminails.com. It is available from http://www.zoyapolish.co.uk RRP £10.50
It is a really nice colour for spring and summer. Aqua with a silver shimmer, which I have tried to capture on the image as best as I could. It was opaque at one coat, but I applied 2 out of habit. I used rimmel 60 second top coat. I love this colour and I love anything with a shimmer, especially enough to look like a foil. If I had the money I would be tempted to buy other colours from this collection too, they are all gorgeous.
welldone Zoe. I don't have much use for nail polish myself, but I'm sure my daughter does so I'll point her to your blog.
ReplyDeleteHello! For a first post, it's already loads better than many blogs out there! Nice clear photos. :) And a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteI really really cannot recommend this post by the Nailasaurus enough:

What I can't see is a way to follow you? If you go to the Add a Gadget in your Layout, you can add various ways, eg follow by email, follow by Google Friend Connect (that's the one I have, the one showing little icons for all your followers, plus a button to click to follow) and so on.
thanks for the link!
Deleteand thank you i was looking at those gadgets before wasn't sure which one to use I will get that sorted now.
Good luck! I'd recommend adding as many different ways to follow as you can, make it easy to follow you. :)
Deletei have added follow on google and email. will figure out putting the twitter and facebook badges later. Do you think its a problem my google is in my own name, should I change it to the blogs name? I dont use it for anything really
DeleteI don't think it's a problem to have your name - I don't think I would, but many people do.
DeleteIt's worth adding a way to follow on Google Friend Connect, I think it's what a lot of people (me!) use. I've just checked my blog and the gadget thing is apparently just called Followers, which isn't very helpful! If you go into the Add Gadget field though, and search for Google Friend Connect, there's one called Members which seems to be the same thing.
done it! thanks so much for your help!
DeleteYay, I'm your first one! :) I've added you to my British Blogs page, and to my Blogroll :)
ReplyDeleteI did reply! Thank you! I will have a proper look at following others and a bit more advertising tomorrow. Busy evening for once!
DeleteI know you added me already but I changed the name! the once and only time I will, because i kept getting called lily! and it just feels strange, so if the link needs to be changed its http://overtherainbownailblog.blogspot.com now. :/ I'm too new to all this lol
DeleteThanks! All changed now :)
