Sally Hansen - Three D

First 4 photos in artificial light and the last is in the sunhine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (10 minutes a coat). This formula is really good and goes on well and the brush is good too. This was hard to capture! It is sort of orangey coral with a slight pink shimmer and golden shimmer. You can see the pink shimmer in the 4th photo and the golden shimmer in the last photo. This is really lovely and lasted well.

Gabrini - Matte M17

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the formula is great. 1 coat would do but as I was taking close-up photos I used 2. It is a gorgeous dark fuchsia with sparkles. Noticed slight tipwear but lasted well otherwise.

Technic - Khaki

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is thin but good and the formula is okay. It builds up nicely on the second coat. It is a nice colour, I actually liked it more than I thought I would! This lasted well.

Claire's - White (Splatter Set)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is a mini so make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. It does go on well and the brush is decent. It is a nice milky white with nice glitters, kinda looks festive! It is nice and lasted well.

Bourjois - Sunset A Rio 46

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is a mini but it is really good and the fomula is great. It is a lovely classic red. Sadly got tipwear and slight scuffing too so this didn't last too well. It is really nice though so wear a topcoat for longevity.

The last 2 photos are in artificial light and the others are in the sunshine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (7-8 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula goes on well. It is a lovely blue silvery holographic polish. It isn't a Chrome as the bottle would have you believe!!! This lasted really well.

Marks & Spencer - Wine

 

This is a really old polish, I posted about buying it HERE in July 2011!!!!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 mintues a coat). The brush is thin and good and the formula is really good. This is a nice deep red colour. It was slightly messy upon removal and lasted okay, slight tipwear. It's okay, nothing special quality wise.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). This brush is a mini but really good and the formula is good too but the polish is quite sheer. It is a nice enough pale pink colour, not really a favourite of mine but decent quality.
