OPI - Guy Meets Gal-Veston

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium and good. The formula is good but really sheer. It is a jelly finish and they are always sheer! It's okay but not really my colour or finish. Decent though and lasted well apart from minor tip wear.

Models Own - Red Sea

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The formula is quite gloopy and thick but it does go on well. From what I have read of this it seems to be a thicker gloopy formula. The brush is good. Hmmm I wasn't really impressed with this at all, I think it looks better in the bottle. It does look okay on the darker colour as it really shows it off.

Lakur - Down To Dilly

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium and good and the fomula is really good too. It is a nice cute pinky red colour. 1 coat would have done but I used 2 as I am taking close up photos. Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). This is a mini but good to use, the brush is good and the formula is good too, just make sure you have plenty polish on the brush for good coverage.

a-England - Crown Of Thistles

 

Last 2 photos in artificial light, all others in the sunshine.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin but good and the fomula is good too. It is a nice sparkly purple holographic polish. I think it looks lovely in both the sun and artificial light. This lasted really well. Lovely!

Hits - Cool

 

This polish was a tad thick so had to use nail polish thinner on it.

It is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is good and the formula was still a tad thick after thinning. I reckon a normal bottle would be fine formula wise. This is a nice iridescent colour showing greens, golds and blues. I think the last photo really shows all the different colours. This lasted really well and is gorgeous. AND before I forget, it's a one coater too!!

Dance Legend - Beautiful Lie

 

First 3 are in the sunshine and last 2 are artificial lighting.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula goes on well. It is a tad sheer and requires 3 coats. It is a lovely blue sparkly holo. It looks amazing in the sunshine. Gorgeous and lasted well.

Hits - Cutie Pie

This is a long post with many photos! A very versatile nail polish!!

This polish is insane! It has so many different colours at different angles!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula goes on well. It was slightly thick and I thinned it down and that did the trick! It is an amazing iridescent polish. There are so many colours: green, purple, blue and bronze. I was really taken with this polish! Gorgeous and it lasted really well.
