This is easy to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush was a bit faulty so application was slightly tricky. It is a gorgeous colour and a one coater too! Lasted really well.

Sorry I haven't been about! Life huh. Nothing bad has happened to me and all is good here. I will hopefully be back regularly now!
Thanks to everyone for their kind words.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (6-7 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous orange with an amazing glowing shimmer! Looks fab. Both the brush and formula were good. Lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is good and is nice to paint with. It is a lovely blue grey polish with an amazing shimmer. It does look nice. I did, however, got slight tip wear after housework, though lasted well otherwise.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is good and the formula too, making it easy to paint with. It is a lovely purple with a slight subtle shimmer. Like all the earlier CA polishes this is slightly scented too. This lasted really well too.

Even though is says "Posh Polish" it was under £5 so belongs on this blog haha!
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is nice and good but it is small though. The formula is really good and goes on nicely. It is a lovely blue toned silver foil. Lasted really well.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is slightly sheer on the 1st coat but okay on the 2nd. It is a nice enough cherry red. BUT this is meant to be a thermal polish and I didn't notice a change? Maybe slightly purple at the tips in the last photo? I did run it under the hot tap for a while. It also didn't last well at all, got awful tip wear early on!!! So for me this nail polish was a total fail :-(

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!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is quite sheer on the first coat but builds up nicely on the second. It is a lovely blue with a nice shimmer. The brush is decent and is easy to paint with. This lasted well and didn't stain!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8 - 9 minutes a coat). It is a lovely pale blue dotty nail polish. The brush is really good and is medium sized. I really like these style of polishes and this one lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and this one applies nicely. I'd have to say this is the best formula of the 6 polishes from the range. And it is a gorgeous deep colour with a great finish. Lovely and lasted really well.

And bonus photos with the ducks ;-)
This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous mad iridescent polish! So many colours can be seen! It is very versatile! I took a few photos in the outside world at the local ducks. I am a huge fan of the Muscovy Ducks! This lasted really well and is truly amazing!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is thick but good to use. This is a nice colour and I really like the finish too. Carefully painting is needed though and minimise brush strokes as well. I really liked this colour and it lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). This is a gorgeous white texture that is slightly sparkly! The brush is decent and it is easy to paint with. It is a little bit rough but doesn't catch on anything. It is gorgeous and lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is a gorgeous purple that looks kinda blue in certain lights. The brush is good and the lid is comfortable to hold and this had a nice formula too. Gorgeous and lasted really well.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really wide and good to paint with. I think thinner coats are better for this type of formula. I think it looks more brown than pink, but I like this one as it isn't totally brown! Lasted really well.
