a-England Merlin

This is glitter topper I put on Deceit from the other blog!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). I think it looks gorgeous over the black. One thing I would say about it is the smell, it was slightly stinky - something I hadn't noticed before in any of the a-England polishes I've used :-| Lasted really well.

Chanel 593 Rose Moire

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 3 minutes for each coat). It's a nice rosey pink colour - but it's not really my kinda colour. I was talking to the husband about it and he was quite surprised I bought this one as it's not my thing! It's a great quality polish and it lasted well.

Nubar Erratic Purple

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. It's a pretty metallic purple. Lasted well.

Revlon Chroma Chameleon Rose Gold

Ahh look at the time! Just after 10pm and I've been busy all day!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 min for each coat). It's quite subtle iridescent wise, I had hoped for a stronger effect when I saw the bottle. It doesn't look too bad in the last photo - but it rarely looked like this in real life. Was quite disappointed that it wasn't stronger. That aside, it is a nice golden colour, with very slight green. Lasted well.

OPI Divine Swine

This is the glitter top I put on the Inglot polish from the last post. It's from the first set of the Muppets Collection way back when!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 mins for 1 coat). You get really good coverage with one coat. I think it looks really nice on top of the blue :-) I only photographed this so no idea if it lasted long!

Inglot 942

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (1st coat about 2 mins and 2nd coat about 4 mins). It's an absolutely gorgeous blue colour :-) I really like this. The brush is easy to use and the lid is comfortable to hold making it very easy to paint the nails. Lasted well.

Butter London Gobsmacked

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1 min for each coat). It's black and sparkly and very like a textured polishes. It's not too rough - kinda similar texture to the Rimmel Sweetie Crush collection (on the other blog). It also looks kinda greyish and pewter in some lights. I think it's quite nice and it lasted well :-)

Nails Inc Emerald Street

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 3 mins for 1 coat). It's a nice shade of green - I do like this green colour. The brush was good and the lid is okay to hold. You'll get used to it if you struggle at first! I noticed slight scuffing after a few hours :-| but no chipping. It was one coat - so I think that's maybe why. I've noticed 1 coaters tend to scuff more than 2 coaters!

Dance Legend 092 Roz

Another Dance Legend *jumps for joy*

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 2-3 mins per coat). Oh my it's gorgeous with all the different colours: purple, green and gold/bronzy. Absolutely love it. The brush is good and the lid is comfortable to hold. Easy to paint the nails! Lasted well.

Ciate She's Eclectic

I purchased this a few days ago and when it arrived I just had to wear it. Now don't be fooled by the internet or google because they would lead you to believe this is called "She's Electric" which it isn't! That's a song by Oasis - now it's going through my head lol!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying ( a few minutes between coats). It's purple with a blue shimmer to it. From the bottle I thought it would be more iridescent - I think I'm getting too used to the Dance Legends! The brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold. Lasted well.

Oh my! This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying. The brush is thin and good to work with - you'll get used to it! It just looks amazing! I love it! I'll just let the photos do the talking ;-) Lasted well.
