Barbara Daly Amethyst

Thought I'd give one of my other Barbara Daly polishes a go after the disappointment of Denim. This is a lovely purple colour, which I got reduced. Check out where they put the sticker!

All in natural light.

And finally artificial light.

All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use and easy to apply. It is certainly better quality than Denim and easier to use for sure. 1st coat dried quickly but the 2nd was a wee bit slower. I'd say it's a purple-mauve colour with a subtle sparkle that needs good light and eye sight to catch. Lasted well.

7 out of 10. Got it reduced from Tesco for £1.50, but I think it's normally £3.

Kleancolor 135 Holo Blue

This one is quite nice, but not what I'd call a holo. Certainly not compared to Nfu.Oh!

Sparkly or what?

All in sunlight.

My poor wee sore finger :-( Just ignore that! All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying for a Kleancolor. The brush is pretty good and the lid is comfortable to hold while painting the nails. It's quite gritty and I'd say it's more glittery than holo. I think it would look better on top of a bold colour for sure. Lasted well and I like it.

Rimmel 270 Life Force

Picked this one up very cheaply from the Bay. It looks awesome in the bottle and even better on the nails. It's an older one and forn. Greeny with a golden subtle shimmer.

Natural light, no sun out.

With flash.

 All above 1 coat!!!!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and 1 coat gives great coverage. It's one of the older ones so the smell is noticeable but not bad and it's slow drying too. That golden shimmer is lovely. Have to say it lasted well and looks good in sunlight (which silly me didn't get pics of!)

Technic Gunmetal

Picked this one up a while ago and when I was looking for something to wear, it caught my eye.

In sunlight.

Shiny!
And in the shade.

All above 2 coats.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. This bottle was slightly gloopy but that didn't affect application, not sure if that's the formula or just the one I picked up! It's got a slight greeny shimmer to it. Lasted well and it's lovely. At first it reminded me of Chanel's Black Pearl but it's not quite a match!

7 out of 10. Good for the 99p I paid from Bodycare!

Beauty UK Silmaril

Having tried Elfstone and purchased the other Beauty UK gemstone Posh Polish collection, I decided to try another one. This one is Silmaril, a kinda bronzy goldy colour.

Sparkly goodness!

All in sunlight.

All above 2 coats. Nice and sparkly!!!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's lovely in sunlight. It's smooth and nice. BUT it didn't last well at all compared to Elfstone! Couldn't believe how much it chipped! So wear a top coat with this one.

6.5 out of 10. Nice to look at for sure. Superdrug or their official site.

Nina Ultra Pro Tickle Me Pink

This is such a good brand of polish and such good quality for the price. This is a "pinky" rosy colour with a subtle gold shimmer.

In natural light.

And artificial light.

All above are 2 coats.

This was easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush was really good too. It certainly needed 2 coats as 1 coat is too weak. I'm not sure about the name as I don't think it looks pink really, but rosy with that subtle golden shimmer. It did last well and is so cute.

7 out of 10. Got it from Sallys for about £3.50 ish. I'm bad for remembering prices doh!
