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.

Primark - Skylight

 

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.

Accessorize - Pale Pink

 

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.

W7 - Matte Silver

 

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.

Kiko - Feel Good (Unexpected Paradise)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The formula is really good and the brush is wide and good. I really don't suit browns and not really a fan of them but this is okay. I only bought it to complete the Unexpected Paradise Set, used to be obsessive that way haha! It is really good quality though.

Barry M - Coconut Cream

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The formula is good and the brush is wide and good. The scent is faint and smells like cheap sweeties but there is a very faint coconut smell if you sniff it right under your nose! It is a nice enough grey. This lasted well BUT it does have a downside. After removal I had terrible, terrible yellow staining on my nails, which is still here a few weeks later!
