I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. A thin coat took about 2 minutes a coat and a thicker coat took much longer around 7 minutes. The brush is good and the formula goes on well too. It is a nice purple glittery jelly polish. This lasted really well.

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.

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.

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.

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 on the first coat 1 minute but on the second takes longer. The formula is really good and goes on well and the brush is medium sized and good. It scuffs if you don't let it dry completely but after that it lasted well. This is a lovely matte silver polish, I really like it.
