Color Club - Call Of The Disco Ball

 

This is easy to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). My bottle was slightly gloopy so reckon application would be okay with a good bottle. It is a nice peachy colour with iiridescent glitters and glows in the dark! It looks super amazing in the dark I think. This lasted really well. WARNING.. this gorgeous glow in the dark polish may cause issues with sleeping as you will want to look at your nails haha!

China Glaze - Creative Fantasy

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is very sheer and patchy to apply. This was very runny too. It is a sheer jelly that is slightly matte and required 3 coats. Brush was good. Sadly got bad tip wear with this one. Maybe better over a white? Not impressed.

China Glaze - Jetstream

 

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). 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.
