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.

Primark - Sangria

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It is a mini bottle but the brush is really good and the formula goes on nicely. I used 2 coats but 1 thick coat would do. It is really nice and lasted really well.

Kiko - Blush Rose (Holographic)

 

Last photo in the sunshine all others in the indoor lighting.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8-9 minutes a coat). This seems to be a trend with this line of holos, slow drying. The brush is good and the formula goes on nicely. It is a lovely holo with a slight shimmer! I was impressed with the shimmer, you can see it in the 2nd and 3rd photos. It is nice and lasted really well. Just slow drying. Some holos are and some are super fast!

W7 - Matte Chocolate

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat, maybe slightly less). The brush is wide and the formula is really good, it went on smoothly. And it is a one coater! Brown really isn't my colour but this grew on me and I think it does look like chocolate! Lasted really well. All in all a winner, as quick drying and a 1 coater!

Accessorize - Purple Dream

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is fairly small so have plenty polish on it. I'd have to say the first coat is slightly patchy but builds up nicely on the second. It is a lovely purple to blue iridescent with a shimmer. This one lasted okay and was easy to remove.

Kiko - Red Is Better (Ocean Feel)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but very good and the formula goes on nicely. This polish is slightly textured and it is a totally gorgeous red. Something a bit different! Lasted really well.

Lulaa - Holographic 10

 

Last photo indoor lighting, all others in the sun!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8 or more minutes a coat). The brush is really good and the formula goes on nicely too. The polish has a slight smell to it but if you are used to doing your nails, it won't bother you and this does fade after the polish is dry. It is a gorgeous blue silver holographic and looks amazing both indoors and outdoors in the sun. This lasted really well. It is the second from this brand and apart from the slow drying, been really impressed.

W7 - Golden Debris

I put this on top of the last post - Rimmel Misty Jade.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (8-9 minutes a coat). You only need 1 coat and it does give good coverage. Looks okay over the green and it is a nice mix of glitters. I think this glitter is more suited to Autumn though! Lasted well.

Rimmel - Misty Jade

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is quite a sheer polish and requires at least 3 coats! The brush is really good and the formula, despite being sheer, does go on nicely. It is really a pretty green, I think. This lasted really well.

Home Bargains - Blue Glitter

I put this on top of China Glaze's Petal To The Metal, from the other blog! 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The brush is good and one coat gives decent coverage for a topper. It looks nice on the pink and pops I think. This lasted really well.

Lulaa - Holographic 9

A new brand to my blog today: Lulaa.

Last photo indoor lighting all others in the sun!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (10 mintutes a coat at least). The brush is really good and the formula is super. I did notice the polish has a slight smell, but nothing too bad. If you paint your nails a lot this won't bother you. It didn't bother me and I have a really good sense of smell! The smell, however, does fade when the polish is fully dry. This is a gorgeous orange holo and you see the rainbows equally well in the sun and artificial lighting. Lasted really well too. Was very impressed with this brand and the slow drying is well worth the wait!
