Dance Legend 843 Milky Way

*faints*

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). It's gorgeous and iridescent! So many colours! So versatile! Wow! I'm speechless :-D Brush is really good and the lid is comfortable to hold! Lasted really well.

Color Club Ultra Astral

And with Top Coat for glossy effect!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1 minute for a coat). This polish dries matte so I put on the Nubar top coat to get the glossy effect! I think being glossy makes it more neon! It's very bright and bold for sure. The little sparkles are holographic but they didn't make much of an appearance, sadly! It certainly lasted well.

Filthy Gorgeous Rock Star

Eek another FG polish! This is the glitter I put on top of the Sally Hansen polish from the other blog!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). I had plenty on the brush for good coverage. This was slightly textured and I think solo, with a few coats would make a good sandy polish ;-) It's greeny gold glitter and looks nice on the dark Sally Hansen polish. Only swatched so no idea of longevity.

OPI Coca Cola Red

Ironic really, I bought this set and I'm not really a drinker of fizzy juice!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (less than a minute for a coat). As this is a mini bottle with a mini brush, be sure to have plenty of polish on the brush for good coverage. I think it's a pretty red! Noticed some slight scuffing after 24 hours but lasted okay otherwise.

China Glaze OMG A UFO

We had some sunshine in Scotland, so out came a holo!

Following photos indoors:

Following photos outdoors in the sun:

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1 minute for a coat). I just used one coat and think it gives a good finish! I don't think the holo effect is as strong as other polishes I own. But it's okay, I guess. Lasted okay, noticed some tip wear on a few nails though. I put this on top of the aqua base coat.

Filthy Gorgeous Air-Kiss

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). I had plenty of polish on the brush as these have quite a thin brush. That seemed to do the trick and application was good. Lasted well.

****I put a glitter on top of this and noticed upon removal, I had slight staining. Not sure if it was the polish alone or the addition of the glitter****

Butter London No More Waity, Katie

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). I think it's quite an unusual polish, grey base with purple glitter! How odd, but interesting! I liked it. Lasted well.

Ciate Paper Doll

This is hard to use, hard to apply and quick drying (under a minute for each coat). The formula is terrible and hard to work with. It was very streaky and I found it hard to get rid of the bald patches! I ended up using really thick coats with minimal brush strokes, as this polish is quite unforgiving in that respect! I think it looks okay considering how hard it was to apply. It's not a perfect finish but it's the best I could achieve! I do think it is pretty and I like the finish. Lasted well.

Max Factor Blue Energy

This is okay to use and okay to apply. The brush is a bit thin and tricky to use at first but I got used to it. Fairly quick drying (about 2 minutes for a coat). It's such a pretty blue and I really like it! For some reason I thought it was called 'Electric Blue' then I realised where I was going wrong...link...I had even written it down in my notes as Blue Energy *doh*! Lasted really well.

OPI Cute Little Vixen

Yah it's early June and I'm posting a Christmas polish from last year! *rolls eyes*

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). It's a pretty colour that I found quite hard to describe :-| and it has a subtle, but pretty shimmer. Lasted well.

Color Club Coastline

This is one of the recent textured polishes that CC released.

This is okay to use, terrible to apply as the formula is rubbish! I had to use two thick coats and it didn't go on well. I somehow managed to get it looking okay though. Drying time was fine for a thick coat (about 3 minutes for a coat). After being a bit miffed with the application, I soon forgot about that and started to like it. It does look nice and a few people commented on it! They did seem a bit freaked when I asked them to feel it LOL! Lasted well.

Marks & Spencer Rainbow

This is a holographic polish I've had for a good while now! It is sadly discontinued *boo* And yeah we had sun for 1 day in Scotland - it was very, very warm!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (about 1.5 minutes for a coat). It's a pretty holo - not strong though, but I like it :-) I noticed it had a few scuffs after a few hours so I would wear a top coat with this, if you manage to pick it up! Didn't chip though. I used the NFU Oh Aqua Base coat with this. I've worn it before I started blogging with a regular base coat and I remember it being very holo-tastic too - so you probably don't need the aqua base coat!
