Essence - Wonderfuel

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the formula goes on well too. This is a lovely purple polish with a nice blue shimmer and it is slightly iridescent. It is gorgeous but got some tip wear though it did last well otherwise.

Collection 2000 - Sherbet Lemons

 

I think this polish is at least 15 years old!

It is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). Sadly this is like most yellows of days gone by and is really streaky and prone to bald patches. This requires 3 coats to get a half decent finish. The brush is good though! It's nice enough and I remember wearing it a good few times when I first bought it. It did last well though.

Claire's - Fireworks

I put this on top of the last post.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and okay. The formula goes on well, just dip the brush in and out a few times to make sure there are plenty glitters on the brush. I think it works well with the silver. This lasted well.
