Orly - Sweet Dreams

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The bottle is a mini and the brush is very good. The formula is also good too. This is a nice grey with a lovely purple shimmer. I like greys but need to be in the mood for them! This lasted well.

Models Own - Grace Green

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula goes on well too. It is a kinda greeny grey colour I think. It is a one coater!!! It did suffer tip wear, so 2 coats would probably be better. Okay if you want to wear it for a night though. I actually liked this one more than I thought I would!

Morgan Taylor - Truth Or Dare

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is medium and good. The formula is okay but prone to balding on the first coat but fine on the second coat. It is a nice polish but got tip wear on this one.

a-England - Let Me In

 

Last photo indoors all others in the sun.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat) AND it is a one coater! The brush is medium sized and good. The formula is a tad thick but okay to work with. It is a nice enough holo, but not that strong in the sunshine. Nice enough colour.

OPI - Panda-Monium Pink

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The brush is really good. The formula is okay, it is really sheer and requires 3 coats. This polish isn't very good for ridges. I got this a long time ago and thinking it might be a fake, I remember back in the early 2010s there were a lot of fake OPIs going around. This lasted well but I really don't like the colour so much.

Models Own - Polychromatic

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying on the second coat (10 minutes) but the first coat does dry quickly. The brush is good and the formula is okay. It is nice enough but not really that iridescent as I would have expected. Lasted well.

Orly - Right Amount Of Evil

I put this on the last post. I really thought it would work, but it didn't! 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). This paints really well and no dabbing required! The brush is thin so make sure there is plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The formula is good too. I like the polish just don't think it works too well with the sky blue. I think it would be good on white or black. This lasted really well.
