Avon Ruby

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's a gorgeous red texture with gold sparkles. Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

Sally Hansen Taffeta

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It's a lovely purple polish with a nice satin finish. Must admit to really liking this sort of finish! It also has holo sparkles, but because of the satin finish these don't show. I was tempted to put a glossy topper on it to show them off, but there was no sun for decent photos :-| I might try it if it's sunny soon! Noticed slight tip wear, but nothing else. Lasted well otherwise.

Angelica Boom Pop

This is the glitter I put on top of Morgan Taylor Watt Yel-lookin' At? 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (6-7 minutes for a coat). I had to dab it on more than actually painting, so it was quite thick! I think it looks really nice on the yellow. I thought it was a clear base, but it wasn't and it slightly changed the colour of the yellow to a more lime type colour. Lasted well.

Essence Caramel Brownie

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It's a brown polish with a slight shimmer, it also has some purple tones that you can see in certain lights. I must admit it does have a good name too :-D It's was okay and I bought it because it was cheap. I wouldn't normally buy a brown, but you gotta try things sometimes! Lasted really well.

MUA Super Strength Base Coat

The above is of Deborah Lippmann - Dancing In The Sheets.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute for a coat). It smells a little too. I had never used this base coat before, so I thought I would try it. The previous post Avon Hot, had chipped and then I tried it with the Lippmann. I was really shocked because it chipped within half an hour! I put a top coat on and it still chipped quite badly. That's my left had and right was worse than that!

I tried the Lippmann polish with the Butter London base coat and it didn't chip! My conclusion is that the Lippmann polish is good quality and the base coat is rubbish. I really don't recommend this at all. If you are looking for a cheap base coat, Collection do a good one.

Avon Hot

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-1.5 minutes a coat). It's a gorgeous red colour! The brush is good and the lid is comfortable to hold. I noticed tip wear and slight chipping too. Pity, as it's such a lovely colour.

Rimmel Violet Metal

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat).The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. The formula is pretty good as well. It's a gorgeous purple with a lovely blue shimmer :-D Noticed tip wear but it lasted well otherwise, no chipping.

New Look Coral

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It's better to use thicker coats for better coverage and it's less patchy that way. It's a nice matte coral. The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. Noticed slight tip wear.

Avon Turquoise

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). It's a really pretty texture polish with different coloured glitters. The brush is good and the formula applies nicely. This lasted well. HOWEVER... it's nearly the same as an Avon I previously wore: Teal Glitter from the Stardust line. I'm glad I really like this as I've got two now! Cheeky :-O

Sally Hansen Azure

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It's a nice blue with a very subtle shift to purple, you can just about make it out in the last photo! The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

Maybelline Tropink

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It's streaky on the first coat but sorts itself out on the second! It's a nice enough pink but nothing really special! Lasted well.
