China Glaze - Don't Let The Dead Bite

This is one from a Hallowe'en range a while ago! Finally getting around to wearing it!!!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a lovely pink based polish with red glitters. It is something a bit different and cool! Sadly didn't last so well as some of the glitters near the end of the nail chipped off, so wear a top coat with it!

OPI - Ogre-the-Top Blue

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a really nice creamy jelly blue but sadly did not last long. It chipped within 3 hours!!!!! Shame, as it is a lovely blue I think.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It is prone of bald patches so careful application is required. It is an amazing silver holo, no wonder it is called OMG!! It lasted really well too! Amazing!

Dance Legend - Termo Shine 166

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a thermal polish that changed from peach to brown and it has a slight shimmer. The transition isn't as good as the others I've had from this range, but it is okay. Lasted really well and for a brown, I kinda like it!

China Glaze - DV8

First and last photo indoor lighting, rest in the sunshine.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and fast drying (less than a minute a coat). It is very prone to dragging and bald spots so make sure there is plenty polish on the brush as it is a mini and carefully apply! This is a gorgeous holo, looks different in both lighting I think. I don't think it is as intense as the previous in the set. This one didn't last too well and had some staining upon removal :-|

Revlon - Tanzanite

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a nice purple that goes slightly bronze too. It is a nice iridescent polish but not that strong. The purple colour is gorgeous. Lasted well.

Color Club - Otherworldly

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It dries matte and the glitters aren't at all sparkly like in the bottle! Despite this, I do still like it. It looks cool and it lasted really well. It also did not stain!

China Glaze - IDK

First and last photo indoors, all others in the sunlight!

This is okay to use, okay to apply and mega quick drying (less than a minute a coat). Like the others in the set, it is prone to bald spots so make sure you have plenty polish on the brush. It is a lovely purple holo polish, the effect is very strong with this one. Unlike this others before, this lasted really well!
