Models Own Disco Inferno

I put this on top of Avon Lavished Blue!

And with the flash:

This is okay to use and okay to apply. Make sure there is plenty on the brush for good coverage. Dip it in and out a few times before applying to the nail. It is really slow drying (at least 10 minutes a coat). It is a pretty cool looking glitter and looks good over the blue! Lasted well.

Dance Legend Chumash

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). You need to shake the bottle every time you paint a nail, this ensures your get good glitter coverage as there will be plenty on the brush. It does apply nice though. Looks pretty funky and gorgeous. Lasted well.

I would say that I was happy with this years calendar. I only got 2 doublers and there were some really nice polishes. I didn't like the design of it though.....poorly thought out as the boxes kept falling out. I preferred the little doors like they did in previous years! :-)
