Rimmel Cheeky Chap

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (3 minutes a coat). Make sure there is plenty polish on the brush or you will get the crackle/shatter effect!! So thick coats are the way forward with this polish. It is a nice enough chalky matte polish. Noticed slight tip wear, but last well otherwise.

Technic Ice Cream Ella

I put this on top of Morgan Taylor Cruisin' The Boulevard.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and slow drying (5-6 minutes). You need to dip the brush in and out a few times to get plenty glitter on the it. This does give good coverage with 1 coat. I think it looks nice on the red. Lasted well.

Claire's Valentines

I put this on top of OPI Venice The Party?

This is hard to use, hard to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes). You have to fish the hearts out and it is quite difficult to get them out! It also requires dabbing too. I think it does looks nice and despite the troubles fishing, I do like it! My only problem was picking the hearts off and it did last well if I didn't pick!
