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.

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.

Claire's - Magnetic Gold

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). The formula is good and the brush is good and medium sized. This is a magnetic polish, meaning you us a magnetic to create designs. The magnet is usually attached to the lid or you can buy different designs online. I just used the lid magnet to get this design. You paint the nail and then hold the magnet over the nail. As this is quick drying you need to do it fast! So do one nail at a time! I am right-handed and found it hard to hold the manget with my left hand without touching the polish because you need to place it really close to the nail. Fine when doing the left hand though as my right hand is steady! Hold it above the nail for about 30 seconds or so then the pattern appears. I painted the first coat without using the magnet and used it on the second coat. This is a lovely colour and love the pattern and it lasted really well. Magnetic polishes were popular about 10 years or so ago.

Claire's - Ditsy Floral Yellow

So here is the glitter I put on top of the last post.

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized. This does paint but you still need to dab some of the glitters on for good coverage, especially the little flowers. It looks nice on the purple I think. This lasted really well and didn't catch on anything. Some chunky glitters tend to catch on my hair or clothing!

Claire's - Pink Sand

 

So this polish had dried up and I tried to save it. I like to blog polishes before I bin them! This wasn't really for saving. I did try my best. It is a textured polish and a bold pink. Considering, it isn't really that bad if you like textured polish. I won't rate this one as it was saved.

Claire's - Ditsy Floral Blue

I put this on top of Color Club's Almost Famous from my other blog.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It was more dabbing than painting and had to fish for the glitters haha! It a nice mixture of glitters with cute blue flower shaped glitters as well. It looks amazing on the yellow! It does catch so use a top coat with this. I only swatched this so no idea if it lasted well!

Claire's Blue Pastel Sand

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (3-4 minutes - usually textures are quicker). It is a gorgeous light blue texture with a lovely golden shimmer. It is very textured, but doesn't catch on anything. I think it kinda looks like snowfall, certainly wintry anyway! Lasted really well.

Claire's Valentines

I put this on top of OPI Venice The Party?

This is hard to use, hard to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes). You have to fish the hearts out and it is quite difficult to get them out! It also requires dabbing too. I think it does looks nice and despite the troubles fishing, I do like it! My only problem was picking the hearts off and it did last well if I didn't pick!

Claire's Dollar

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). It's a pretty iridescent colour with gold, green and blue. The shift is okay - could be stronger though! Just be careful when painting as this can be prone to brushstrokes! Lasted well.

Claire's Ferris Wheel

This was the glitter topper I put on top of OPI's Down To The Core-al.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4 minutes a coat). Make sure you dip the brush in and out a few times to get plenty of glitter on the brush for good coverage. I think it looks good over the OPI. One of my friends who has never commented on my nails EVER, said that he even liked it! I was shocked LOL :-O Lasted well.

Claire's Pastel Shimmer Set -Yellow

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). At first I thought it was yellow then I thought it was gold! It's a golden yellow! The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. The polish has a subtle shimmer, but this was hard to see in real life. It's not really a colour I suit well and I wasn't that keen on it. Lasted well.
