W7 Metallic Jupiter

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. I'd say it's black like with blue, pink and purple glitter. It's slightly iridescent as you can see from the above pic! Lasted well.

Stargazer 101 Neon Green

Hehe another neon Stargazer! This is a cracker.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's quite old but still in good nick. It's a gorgeous neon green that's really eye catching. Lasted well and loved it back then and still love it!

17 Seventeen Rock Hard Nail Effects Red

I've been slacking in the blogging lately, well slacking in the general 'going on the PC' of late! Due to a number of reasons that I'll not bother going into! On with the nails, this is one of the textured nail polishes that I picked up from Boots the other week there. It's red!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and mega quick drying! I'd say it's slightly gritty compared to the OPI Liquid Sands nail polish. It's a lovely red and it lasted well. Yah!

Rimmel Shirley Temple

Decided to try another of the newish Rimmel polishes.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. The brush is excellent and is a breeze to paint the nails with. It is an orange colour with a golden shimmer, looks awesome. Really liked this and it lasted well.

Avon Make My Day

This is the second of the new Avon polishes that I purchased. I didn't fancy the other two.

When I first got this I was pretty disappointed. Thought I'd give it a try and see how it looked on the nails.

It's easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. I'd say it's a bog standard red that looks slightly orange in certain lights, mainly daylight. It lasted well and it did grow on me after my initial disappointment.

Avon Serene

This is one of the newish Avon polishes that I got a few weeks back from the Avon Lady!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. The first coat is not too bad, slightly streaky but the second is grand. From the brochure I had expected it to look a bit more blue, but in certain lights it does look slightly more blue-ish. I was sitting thinking it looks like something..... then Mr Economy said it's really like China Glaze's For Audrey! Dang that man was right, dug out my bottle and compared them and yup it's a dead ringer. Quite like it! Lasted well.

Max Factor Sunny Pink

This is a nice one!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. The brush is pretty good, but it's small so you need to have a lot on it! It's pink with a pretty gold shimmer, almost iridescent, almost! Nice and it lasted well.

Avon Green Goddess

This polish is pretty cool!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It's absolutely gorgeous and very metallic like I'd say. Very impressed. And it lasted really well too! Couldn't stop looking at my nails lol!

Barry M Atlantic Road

I was very impressed with the OPI Liquid Sand nail polishes, so when Barry M released these I jumped at the chance of buying them. They were on offer which helped as well!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and really slow drying! I was very surprised, because the OPIs were mega quick drying! It is fairly smooth as well. I find these oddly appealing and such a cute baby blue colour. Lasted well.

Rimmel Baby Bellini

I spotted a few new Rimmel polishes when I was in Boots (I think? might have been Superdrug!) and thought they look really nice. Picked them up. This is a lovely purple one that Mr Economy was quite keen on.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying. The loveliness in the 1st bottle pic doesn't really translate to the nail that well sadly. I think this is a dead ringer for W7's Purple Rain and that's not a bad thing as I like it! This lasted really well and it's very pretty!

W7 Blue Tini

I've been really impressed with the W7 polishes that I've blogged so I thought I'd try one of my more recent purchases. Picked this up a few months back. It's well nice!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and really quick drying. I'd say it's a lovely blue with a subtle purple shimmer, that's very obvious in the 1st bottle picture! You can just about make it out in the last nails picture. Really like the colour, Mr Economy reckons I've got a thing for blues! Hehe. Lasted okay.

Sally Hansen Silver Lining

For some reason this one jumped out the drawer!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and fairly quick drying on the first few coats but after three slow! It's a gorgeous silver colour with very subtle bits of blue glitter and has a slight pink shimmer to it at certain angles. I really liked this and it lasted well.

Nina Ultra Pro Punki Purple

This polish caused a little bit of disappointment within me! It's easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying. It dries matte tho and wasn't aware of that fact when I bought it! Boooo. I wanted a bright shiny, vibrant colour. It's prone to chipping and scuffing so best use a top coat. I should have used one but couldn't be bothered!

Claire's unknown Iridescent Purple

I picked this up a few weeks ago in Claire's Accessories, but it's not got a name! So I christened it Iridescent Purple which pretty much sums it up!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and SLOW drying. It's a combo of purple, browny/bronze and gold. Like it. Lasted well.
