Last photo in natural light in my garden. All others in artificial light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat). The brush is medium and good and the formula is okay. Use a thicker coat for better coverage. It is a lovely purple and it lasted well.

Avon - Metallic Mauve

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula is okay. Minimal strokes when applying or you'll get slight bald patches on the first coat. It is a lovely shiny purple. This did last well but got slight tip wear after a few days.

Avon - Golden Twilight

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is good, it is medium sized and the formula is good and goes on nicely. It is a blacken purple with a nice golden shimmer. This is a lovely polish but sadly didn't last well, it flaked off and I got tip wear too.

Avon - Berry Divine

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is an older polish though. The brush is really good and makes it easy to apply. I have always like these mini Avon bottles. It is a really nice berry colour with a lovely shimmer. Lasted really well.

Avon - Perfect Purple

I put this on top of Christian Louboutin - Coccinella from the other blog!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice glitter with purples and pinks and I think it looks good over the orangey/red base. It was smooth and didn't catch on anything, always a plus with this type of glitter. It is nice and lasted really well.

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.

Avon - Eclipse

Last photo indoor lighting, all others in the sunshine!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The formula is kinda thick but okay to apply. It is a nice dark holo polish, it looks slightly darken green in some photos and black in others! The holo effect is okay and looks pretty decent indoors too in bright lighting! Lasted okay.

Avon - Surf


This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a nice green polish with a shimmer. It is very sheer and is probably better as a topper! It is very lovely and is lasted well.

Avon Galaxy

This is easy to use, okay to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). And it is a one coater! It is slightly brush-strokey, so be careful with application. I think 2 coats might have been better. Noticed slight tip wear too.

Avon Aurora

In the sun:





Flash:




This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is a pretty colour and quite a subtle holo. I think the flash photos so off the holo more and looks good! Lasted really well.
