Avon - Eclipse

Last photo indoor lighting, all others in the sunshine!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The formula is kinda thick but okay to apply. It is a nice dark holo polish, it looks slightly darken green in some photos and black in others! The holo effect is okay and looks pretty decent indoors too in bright lighting! Lasted okay.

Kiko - Golden Champagne (Holographic)

Last photo indoor lighting all others in the sunshine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). I think it is a lovely golden holo polish and looks great in both sunlight and indoor lighting. It lasted very well.

NYX - City Lights

I put this on top of the last post!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The glitter applied okay, but make sure you have plenty on the brush. I think it looks nice over the orange. Lasted well.

Stargazer - 103 Neon Orange

This is an oldie!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is very old and the formula was a tad gloopy. I really need to get a nail polish thinner! It is really nice and bold and looks funky with the UV light, as can be seen in the last photo! Lasted well.

Avon - Surf

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a nice green polish with a shimmer. It is very sheer and is probably better as a topper! It is very lovely and is lasted well.

Next - Mermaid Night

A new brand to my blog today. This is a nail polish from Next.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and decent drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice deep blue that is slightly iridescent as you can see in the 4th photo - a little purple. The lid is okay to hold and the brush is very good but it is wide. I don't mind wide brushes. Lasted okay.

Barry M - Candy Floss

This is okay to use, okay to apply and decent drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is streaky on the first coat and not too bad on the second. It is a nice baby pink colour. Lasted really well. Like this a lot.

Collection 2000 - 280

This is one from the old range of Collection 2000 - not exactly sure how old it is?

This is easy to use, easy to apply and decent drying for a old polish (5 minutes a coat). It is a peachy orange colour with a slight shimmer. The bottle says it is frosted - I guess it is. 1 coat would have done but I used 2. Have to say for being a very old polish was very impressed! It lasted well too. These oldies are still available on eBay as job lots or such.

Kiko - Pearly Light Geranium

This is easy to use, easy to apply and great drying (2 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous orange/red/coral colour with a shimmer. The shimmer does show up better in the bottle, as you can see in the 3rd photo. It is very nice and last okay.

Poundland - Valentine's Day Pink

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is very streaky on the first coat and not too bad on the second. I used 2 coats here, but probably 3 might have been better! I would say this isn't great for ridges, as you can still see mine in the photos! Nice enough. Noticed some tip wear but didn't chip.
