Avon - Glitterati

 

Last photo with the flash, all others my normal lighting.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and slow drying (at least 10 minutes or more). The brush was slightly dodgy but managed to work with it. It is a purple jelly based polish with different glitters, some are holo. It is gorgeous but sadly the glitters chipped off easily and caught on stuff like my clothes and hair, so definitely advise a top coat with this.

Collection 2000 - Big Hair

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). It is an older range, not sure when from...early 2000s? The brush is thin but is good to paint with. It is a lovely and vibrant red. Lasted really well.

Kiko - Rosy Salt (Ocean Feel)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and makes it easy to paint with, it is wide. This is a nice pale baby pink polish with white glitters. It is described as being a "sea salt" finish, but not really textured. Lasted really well. I used 2 coats here but think 3 might have been better.

L'Oreal - Spicy Orange

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good too, wide and makes it easy to paint the nails with. I think it is nice, but more red than orange though! In the photos I used 2 coats, but for short nails, I really think 1 would have done. Lasted well.

Home Bargains - Pink Glitter

This is from the Go Glitter set that is available from Home Bargains for Christmas - this set is still in the shops. I checked yesterday! As I had mentioned on my other blog Posh Polishes, one of my nails snapped so back to shorties!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is nice enough and would look nice over a white or dark colour I reckon. 1 coat looks decent solo, I think. I really thought from the bottle I wouldn't like it, but surprisingly it grew on me quickly and ended up really liking it! Lasted really well.

Barry M - Crushed Ribbon

 

This is okay to use, tricky to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is really awkward to apply so careful application is required or else it kinda splits and shrinks. You can see the lines, especially on the middle finger. I think is looks okay, just a bit too brown for me! I like the finish and it has a little sparkle to it. I must admit it did grow on me over time! Lasted well.

Kiko - Platinum Rain (Metal Fusion)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying ( 8-9 minutes a coat). It is a nice silver and looks pretty good. The brush is wide but nice to use. Lasted really well.

Home Bargains - Gold Glitter

I put this on top of Nails Inc Out Of Hours. It is from the Go Glitter set that Home Bargains currently have in store for Christmas.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice golden glitter and looks good over the Nails Inc polish I think. The brush was good and made it easy to apply. Lasted really well.
