Rimmel - Rock N Red

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula goes on nicely too! This is a gorgeous red with a slight shimmer. Lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4). Both the brush and formula are good. It is a lovely golden shimmery polish that is slightly iridescent. This is a 1 coat wonder too! This is nice and lasted really well.

Barry M - Apricot Tart

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula is also good. It is an orange leaning towards brown...borange! I actually liked this one! I used 1 coat and got slight tipwear, I think 2 coats would solve that problem.

Sally Hansen - Denim

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). Not quite Insta Dry as I was led to believe! The brush is thick and good and the wand is really long! The formula is good too. It is a vivid blue. I used 2 coats as I was talking photos but 1 coat would do. It is a really nice blue but I sadly got tipwear!

Laval - Coral

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4 minutes a coat). This polish is slightly smelly but the formula and brush are both good. 1 coat would have worked but as I was taking photos, I used 2! It is a cute pink and lasted really well.

Colorii - Own The Sky

This is a Holiday Hauls polish that I got from France and I put it on top of Primark Sangria. 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is good and the formula paints really well, no dabbing required! This is very festive I think. A nice glitter and it lasted really well.

Rimmel - Speed Dating

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It's a rather old polish so I was impressed with the drying time, as older polishes take longer to dry in my experience. Both the brush and formula are really good. This has a lovely shimmer and is slightly iridescent too. This lasted really well.

Kiko - Periwinkle Cream (Candy Split)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying on the second and third coats (9-10 minutes). It is quick on the first though! The brush is good and the formula too, it goes on nicely. It has a lovely shimmer and is iridescent. It is also slightly textured. This lasted really well.

Lulaa - Holographic 11

 

Last photo is inside lights and all others are in the sunshine. 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (6-7 minutes a coat at least). It is very sheer and I have used 3 coats here but you can still see how super holographic it is! This polish is slightly smelly but didn't bother me though and I have a strong sense of smell. The brush and formula are both good. This might work better as a topper and it is a wonderful holo! Lasted really well.

Barry M - Soft Lace

 I am finally back! Hope everyone is well.

This is okay to use, okay to apply but it is slightly lumpy and I think that may be due to the fact it is textured. This is also very slow drying (over 10 minutes a coat). This brush is really good but the formula not so much! It is textured and has a nice candy floss finish, they really nailed it I think. It is a nice colour and it lasted really well.

Sally Hansen - Pumpkin Spice

I put this on top of the last post: Asda George Black Denim. 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is small but good and the formula is good. I think this looks really good over black, I think it might be too sheer to be a solo polish. The ideal Hallowe'en polish too haha! Lasted really well.

Asda George - Black Denim

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). This brush is small so you need plenty polish on it for good coverage. The formula is good and goes on nicely. The lid was a bit tricky at first to hold and paint but by the second coat, I got the knack of it. It is lovely and lasted well. Not sure it is a "denim" finish though!
