China Glaze - At Vase Value

 

This is hard to use, hard to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). It goes on patchy and prone to bald spots and streaking when painting. The formula is poor and the brush is good. It is a pretty matte baby blue but poor quality. It flaked within 1 day!!! So didn't last well at all. I doubt I'll be using this one again!

OPI - Chop-Sticking To My Story

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4 minutes a coat). Both the formula and brush are really good. This polish goes on the nails nicely. It is an orange leaning towards brown! It looks okay and this one actually grew on me, I think it is orange enough for me to like it! Lasted really well.

OPI - Redipus Oedipus

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (6 minutes or more). This is a really old polish though! The brush is thin but good to use and the formula is good too. It is a lovely red polish with a really nice shimmer. Lasted really well.

a-England - St Michael's Mount

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is very wide and it is okay to use. The formula is really good. This is a dark brown and as you know I am not really a fan of browns, so was unsure about this. I must admit it did grow on me and it has the added advantage of being a 1 coater too! Lasted well.

Sparitual - Home

Hello everyone!! I am finally back! Between life, a kid and work - really not had much time to blog or paint my nails. I will try to post as much as I can. Thanks to everyone for their kind and nice messages.

I have also started another blog with photos too: https://ananka1.blogspot.com/ 

Anyway on with the nail polishes.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good to use. It does paint but it was more of case of dabbing it on. It is a nice mix of glitters and looks good solo and on top of the darker colour. I think it would look good as a topper on several colours. This lasted okay.
