Deborah Lippmann - Single Ladies

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a deep vampy red and very nice! Sadly prone to tip wear, so would advise a top coat! For me this would be a one nighter lol!

Hits - Chameleon

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It has many colours, greens, purples, bronzes and pinks can be seen within it! It is a very versatile iridescent polish. So pretty and lasted okay.

China Glaze - 2Nite

First and last photos indoors, all others in the sunshine.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and super fast drying (1 minute a coat). It is a mini and prone to bald spots so make sure you have plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. It is a gorgeous holographic polish, check out those rainbows! Gorgeous but noticed slight tip wear.

China Glaze - TTYL

This is okay to use, okay to apply and super quick drying (1 minute a coat). It is a mini bottle but the brush is still a decent size and make sure you have plenty polish on the brush as it is prone to bald spots. It is a lovely holo, just look at those rainbows! Lasted okay.

Color Club - Space Case

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is a lovely pink matte with sparkly glitters. Even though it is a matte, the sparkles kinda show I think! It is slightly textured too. Sadly chipped after a day :-(

a-England - Nevermore

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). The formula is slightly thick, so application was slightly tricker on this compared to a normal a-England polish. It is a nice red with a very faint holo effect, which I found hard to capture! First photo is light studio with flash, second and third are outside in the sunshine, fourth is light studio with flash and last is with my phone! I did try to capture it, so you can just about make out the holo effect. Did notice tip wear. Wasn't too impressed with this one :-(

Color Club - Marina

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. It is a gold texture polish. I think it is one for the die-hard texture fan as it is very textured and quite rough. I must confess I do love a good texture and I like this one a lot. Lasted really well.

Hits - Unconventional

I bought this many years ago and it had slightly dried, so thought I'd better swatch it!

The formula is gloopy and thick. This was hard to apply and slow drying (10 minutes a coat). It is a gorogeous iridescent polish. Purples, pinks, blues and oranges can be seen. I think a normal bottle would be fine. I cannot find my thinner so will need to invest in another bottle of thinner. It certainly is gorgeous and has a great shift.

Dance Legend - Celia

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). It is sheer on the first coat, but the second coat is okay and builds up nicely. It is a lovely purple iridescent polish. Purples, pinks, bronze and blues can been seen. Noticed slight tip wear after 3 days, but lasted well otherwise.
