Accessorize Boho Wardrobe - Purple

Haven't had one from this set on in like forever!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is a mini bottle and you need to make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. It is a lovely purple with a slight silver shimmer. It is really gorgeous and lasted well.

Barry M - Berry Sorbet

This is one of the new Barry M Gelly polishes.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat. I had to use 3 coats due to ridges, so if you have no ridges, you'd get away with 2 coats! It is a pretty baby blue and it lasted really well.

Essence - I'm Cool With It

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). It is a lovely iridescent nail polish but shows better in the bottle than on the nail. I found this very hard to capture! It goes from blue to purple. Nice enough. Lasted well.

Marks & Spencer Textured Sand

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is a nice texture but not sure the colour is really for me, maybe too pale! It is slightly sparkly too and not so rough. Lasted really well.
