Sally Hansen - Lavender Cloud

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minute a coat). The brush is wide but good and the formula is really good for a white. It is a lovely creamy white and it lasted well. It is so good, that I have made it my "go to white" when I need a white and now sits on my table along with the base coat and my go to dark polish. It has replaced OPI's Alpine Snow!

Rimmel - Hot Gossip

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula goes on nicely. This is an older polish, I have had it for a long time well over 15 years at least! It is a gorgeous red with a lovely shimmer and a one coater too! Super! Lasted really well.

Miss Beauty - Neon Green

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 mintues a coat).  The brush is good and medium sized. Sadly the formula is quite streaky so needs 3 coats for good coverage and a nice finish. I wouldn't say it was "neon" as such but I do like it and it is bold! Lasted really well. This polish, for me, falls in the Hallowe'en category haha!

Colour Alike - 108

 

Last photo in the sunshine at the pond. All others indoor lighting.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is good and the formula goes on nicely. The brush is medium sized. It is a nude holo. I am not normally a fan of nudes but love holos! So dilemma for me haha! It has a nice holo effect and the colour grew on me. I doubt I would wear this if it wasn't a holo though. Lasted really well.

Kiko - Blue Planet (Ocean Feel Collection)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and wide. The formula is okay, slightly patchy on the 1st coat but builds up nicely on the 2nd. It is a nice blue with white glitter! At first I thought the glitters were purple, but closer inspection revealed they are white! This lasted really well.

Marks & Spencer - Gold

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is small but good and the formula goes on nicely. This is an older polish that I got about 10 years ago in a set of 3. I have already blogged one and will get around to doing the other. It is a lovely sparkling gold. Lasted well.
