This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good too. It is a nice rose red colour. Sadly I got tip wear with this but it lasted well otherwise. It is nice enough.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (10 minutes at least for a coat). It is an older polish so maybe that is why it is slower drying! It is also very sheer and best as a topper! You can see it looks good over the blue. It has a lovely shimmer and it lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and makes it easy to paint with. It is a very deep colour with a subtle shimmer. It does look brown sometimes though. I did like this one and it lasted well.

Sorry I haven't been about! Life huh. Nothing bad has happened to me and all is good here. I will hopefully be back regularly now!
Thanks to everyone for their kind words.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but good to use and the formula applies nicely. It is a gorgeous pink with an amazing shimmer. Totally stunning and lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a black based glittery polish. The brush is good and the polish is easy to apply. SADLY this chipped within 8 hours of wearing :-( So best to use a top coat with this one. It is nice but just didn't last long.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and mega quick drying (1 minute a coat). The first coat is okay but slightly streaky. Levels out nicely on the second coat. The brush is good and easy to use. Sadly a bit flaked off after a day, but didn't get any tipwear!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is a lovely bold and bright green with a rubbery matte finish. The brush is really good and makes painting easy. It looks amazing I think and lasted well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). The brush is nice and good. It is a cute pink with holographic glitters. It is a smooth nail polish and not rough in anyway. Very sparkly and pretty! Lasted really well.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice bright yellow and stands out! The brush is really good and the formula is decent too, it isn't streaky like some yellows! It is really nice and was impressed with it. Lasted really well.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is quite streaky on the first coat but okay on the second. It is a nice minty green with a subtle shimmer. The shimmer doesn't really show on the nails though! You can see the shimmer at the top left of the bottle in the second photo. The brush is really good to use. It is lovely and lasted well.

And over Colour Alike's Vega from the other blog!
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a really nice glitter topper but also looks good solo. I think it looks good over the dark blue and the purple! It also as a little subtle shimmer too. The brush is good and makes it easy to paint with. Lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is really good and easy to paint with. It is a gorgeous glitter bomb but it does catch slightly so added a top coat to solve that problem. I think it really sparkles in the sunshine. Gorgeous and lasted really well.

This is the last of the jelly toppers that go over the Chrome Base.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is very runny so don't have too much polish on the brush. The brush is good to paint with and I think this gives a nice green metallic finish. Noticed slight tip wear with this but lasted well otherwise.
