Home Bargains Born To Sparkle Set - Nails On Fleek

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice purple/pink iridescent shimmery polish. Looks really good on the darker colour than the light! And pretty cool solo too. Pinks, purples and peaches can be seen. Gorgeous. Lasted really well.

Kiko - 490 Pearly Salamander Red

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). It is a nice coral red-orange colour with a subtle shimmer. I'd say more orange than red - but I don't name polishes! It is nice and lasted well.

All About Nails - Caribbean Coconut

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is a very pale colour and sheer too! It is a light creamy colour, fancied something light on, but this is too sheer for me and shows all the imperfections of my nails - just look at those ridges yikes! Lasted well.

Accessorize Boho Wardrobe - Purple

Haven't had one from this set on in like forever!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is a mini bottle and you need to make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. It is a lovely purple with a slight silver shimmer. It is really gorgeous and lasted well.

Barry M - Berry Sorbet

This is one of the new Barry M Gelly polishes.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat. I had to use 3 coats due to ridges, so if you have no ridges, you'd get away with 2 coats! It is a pretty baby blue and it lasted really well.

Essence - I'm Cool With It

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). It is a lovely iridescent nail polish but shows better in the bottle than on the nail. I found this very hard to capture! It goes from blue to purple. Nice enough. Lasted well.
