This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the formula is great. It is a lovely red holo. It looks great in the sun I think and not too bad in artificial light. Lovely red holo. Lasted well.

China Glaze - Bells Will Be Blinging

This is the glitter I put on top of the last post.

This was slightly gloopy so I decided to use it before it dried up completely.

It is okay to use, okay to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat). Even though it is gloopy it went on well. The brush is good. It is a nice festive glitter and looks good on the red. I only swatched this.

Last photo in the sunshine all others in artificial light.

This is a VERY old polish! I bought it second hand off eBay many years ago (early 2010s) and I think it is originally from the early 2000s.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (7-8 minutes a coat). This brush is thin but good and the formula is really good. Despite being old and second hand it is still in very good condition. It is a gorgeous colour with a slight shimmer. This lasted really well.

Sadly this just isn't my colour and doesn't look good on me. I really don't suit these nude browns. It's okay I guess but it is great quality and lasted really well.

First 3 in the sunlight and last 3 in artificial light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and the formula is really good. It is a nice holo polish that is slightly iridescent. You can see the iridescence in the indoor lighting and the holo glows in the sun. Got slight tipwear but lasted well otherwise.
