a-England Excalibur (the original)

This is okay to use, okay to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The formula is good but this polish is prone to brushstrokes. Minimal painting for less brushstrokes! It's a really lovely silver polish and quite shiny. I really like this polish. Lasted well.

China Glaze No Peeking!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). And this is a one coater as well! It's a nice metallic aubergine purple. It's pretty. Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes) AND it's a one coater as well. Despite the lid being fairly massive and long, it is really easy to use and paint the nails with. This was my Valentine's gift from my husband :-D It's a really nice red. Lasted well.

Dance Legend Termo Shine 181

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 5 minutes a coat). It's a pretty thermal polish with a funky colour change! It's a darkened red when cold and a lovely pinky red when warm. I really like this polish! Noticed slight tip wear but lasted well otherwise.

China Glaze Sugar Plums

All photos taken with the flash.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It's a really pretty dark colour with lovely holo sparkles. These little sparkles are tiny and quite hard to see! The polish isn't smooth because of these little sparkles - you can just about make that out in the photos. Noticed slight tip wear on a few nails but lasted well otherwise.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and really quick drying (1 minute a coat). It's a gorgeous blue with a foil/metallic finish. I'm sure this would be great for stamping ;-) Lasted really well. **Had very slight staining on a few nails but nothing major.**

Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow

This was the glittery polish I put over Nina Ultra Pro Poison Apple.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). It is a nice golden glittery topper and looks really nice over the red polish. One coat gave good coverage. Lasted really well.

Dance Legend Intergalactic

With the built-in light in the lid:

And one in the sun:

This is okay to use and okay to apply. The formula is really thick, but my bottle arrived leaking so I'm not sure if it's due to that? It took ages to dry, at least 8-10 minutes for the first coat and I made the second coat thicker so that took longer! I think this looks really good but may look better as a topper. The glitters are holographic and come in different shape and sizes. Lasted really well.

China Glaze For Audrey

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (3 minutes a coat). The first coat is slightly streaky but nothing major! Worth mentioning I guess! This is a really pretty colour. My husband bought me this a while back and has been nagging me to wear and I decided I would. To my surprise this polish got lots and lots of compliments! Lasted really well.
