Rimmel Zeitgeist

This is okay to use and okay to apply. I've had it for a long time and I think the formula is a bit thick - it is okay to use though. The drying time isn't too bad for an oldie - about 3-4 minutes a coat. It was my first ever iridescent, back in the days when I didn't really know what iridescent was! I'm really not sure how old it is - at least 10 years or even more. You can see flashes of purple, green and bronze. Noticed slight tip wear but it did last well otherwise.

Sally Hansen Lava

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying - about 5 minutes a coat. Some nails seemed to dry quicker than others - this confused me as the coats were the same thickness! The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. It's a lovely iridescent colour, flashes of orange and pink can been seen. Lasted well.

Technic Lagoon

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas - hope you are all having a great day :-D

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. It's a really gorgeous blue colour and I do like it a lot. Noticed slight tip wear, but lasted well otherwise.

Avon Gold Mystery

This is one of the new shades Avon released last month.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). This brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. This is a pretty yellow gold - I do like this shade. Lasted well.

W7 Pink

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It is slightly smelly, but not too bad. It's a pretty bright neon pink. I did really like this colour and it lasted well.

Avon Warm Black

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (7-8 minutes a coat). It is an older style Avon so the slow drying doesn't bother me so much. The brush is thin and really good to use and the lid is comfortable to hold. It's a lovely black jelly with a slight purple tone - you can make this out in the bottle photo! Lasted well.

Rimmel Venus

This is okay to use, okay to apply and slow drying (at least 6 minutes a coat). It is an older polish though. The brush strokes are quite defined in this polish but it does look better from afar and not on macro! I really don't know how old this one is! I think it's a lovely silvery purple colour. Lasted well.

Rimmel Dancin' Queen

This is easy to use,  easy to apply and okay drying (about 5 minutes a coat). It's an older Rimmel, I've had it for a good few years - can't remember exactly how long! The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. It's a really pretty red and this was my go to red after my favourite: Hot Fever. Lasted really well.

Jess Full Of Fun

I put this on top of Ciate Strawberry Milkshake and Collection 2000 Ninja.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 5 minutes). You get really good coverage with one coat - you need to dip the brush in and out for a few seconds to get plenty of glitter on it. I think it's a really pretty glitter with lots happening. The brush is good and the lid is comfortable to hold. It also dried smooth which is good! Lasted well.

***I'd like to thank my friend Stuart for buying this for me, I really appreciate it. Helping me with my interest in polish ;-) I'd probably not have bought this one myself, so I'm really pleased at this gift and really happy with the way it turned out :-D Thank You!***

Collection 2000 Ninja

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). The first coat is quite weak & sheer but by the 3rd it was fine. It is quite a nice green colour. I do like it. The brush is really thin but good and the lid is comfortable to hold. Lasted well.

Essence You Wow'd Me Again

This one certainly did.... :-D

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). This is a gorgeous iridescent colour - flashes of green and purple can been seen. I'm such a sucker for iridescents :-D Both colours come across really strong as well. One thing I'd say - this brush is quite thick and big, I found it okay on my nails but it might not suit your nails? Lasted really well.

Barry M Emerald Green

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 5 minutes a coat). I think it's a bit longer drying as this is an older Barry M. It's a very pretty and festive green. Lasted really well.
