Yah one of the new Avon polishes. A lovely mint green pastel colour.
Tut tut what's the colour I'm wearing ;-)
In natural light *gasp sun*
How classy in a car park of all places! All above are 2 coats.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying, not fast but not slow. For application to be okay, you need plenty on the brush or it'll be streaky, but lots gives good coverage. It's really good for a pastel type colour and it lasted well and no scuffing. Nice colour - not really a winter one, more summery!
7 out of 10. Various prices depending on time of purchase from Avon ranging from £3 - £5. Got mine for £3.

Marks & Spencer Sparkle Pink (from Gift Set)
I had been after this polish for AGES. I saw it in store and had put it on my Christmas list but no one bought me it and by the time I got to the shops after Christmas it wasn't available :-( Then I spied it on eBay :-D. It's pinky with holographic glitter and it's AWESOME.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It does dry slightly rough though. 2 coats does and it's amazing holographic glittery-tastic. It lasted well, must have had it on for a few days at least. Unfortunately it wasn't sunny and I would have liked a picture, so I'll wear it during the summer and try and capture one. Summer?? What's that!!!
8 out of 10. This one is currently unavailable at the moment, but it's worth trying eBay or other places online. If you can find it, get it as you won't be disappointed.

Nina Ultra Pro Molten Copper
I do like the Nina Ultra Pro polishes and they are such good value! This is another iridescent one (not to be confused with Molten Gold)!!!
A few different colours.
Without flash.
It's really hard to capture all the different shades! All the above are 2 coats.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and has an excellent brush. It's slow drying and very weak so needs a few coats. I think if I have the time, I'll apply 3 when I wear it again. It's iridescent heaven though! Yah.
7 out of 10. Easy to pick up from SSS or online. I picked mine up when they had the offer of buy 1 get 1 half price on and one costs about £3.50ish.

Accessorize Shade 42 Electric Blue
Yah my first post of the new year on this blog! And a nice blue one to start off the year.
It's blue with hints of purple.
All without flash.
And in natural light.
All the above are 2 coats.
I found this one quite hard to use, need practice I think! It's okay to apply (not that great really) and it's slow drying. It's a lovely shade of blue with a purple glittery effect. I used 2 coats and it needs at least that. It lasted well and was really nice!
7 out of 10. £4 out of Superdrug or from Accessorize.

Avon Sequined Turquoise
This one caused much excitement for me when I first bought it! And I've finally got around to wearing it - yah.
I was in love, for a short while anyway!
Without flash.
And with flash.
All above are 2 coats.
This is such an amazing colour. How good does it look?? Amazing! It's easy to use, easy to apply and the brush is pretty good. It's very quick drying to a good finish. It's gorgeous and very festive too. My only moan - it's a nightmare to remove, so be careful my fingers ended up greeny. Tin foil next time methinks.
7 out of 10. When I got it, I paid £2.50 for it but I think it's currently £6 *gasp*. Will probably rotate back to being under a £5 soon. From your rep or online.

Kleancolor 190 Green With Envy
Christmas nails time! I put two different colours over the previous post. A Kleancolor and an OPI (which you can see on the other blog :-p). This is a glittery green colour.
With flash.
Nice!
Without flash.
Hehe how nice is that green :-)
This is easy to use, easy to apply and has a good brush. It's slow drying though. I found it easier to dab then paint, as I found I wasn't getting good coverage. It's very shiny and looks awesome on the black.
6 out of 10. Easy to pick from American sellers on eBay and Amazon.

Rimmel 800 Black Out
Goodness another Rimmel and another older one too! Jings. This time we have a bog standard black.
Without flash.
And with flash.
All above are 2 coats.
This was easy to use, easy to apply and the brush is good. It was fairly quick drying to a shiny finish. I'd say it's a fairly standard black, nothing really special about it. But I like it :-) and it's good quality for the price.
8 out of 10 for this. Easy enough to pick up from most places like supermarkets or chemists.
