Dance Legend - Annihilation

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and VERY SLOW DRYING. It took over 1 hour for 2 coats. Sadly this whole Round Space Collection is slow drying as well. So use a quick drying topper! The formula is good and it goes on the nail well and is easy to paint with and the brush is good. It is a nice greeny glitter. This collection had little lights on their bottles, so I have show a few photos with it on.

OPI - Black Cherry Chutney

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula is good too. It is a lovely vampy dark colour with a subtle shimmer. Didn't last so well as I got tipwear.

Chanel - Rouge Essentiel

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin but good and the formula is really good and goes on well. This is a lovely classic red and it lasted well.

Ciate - Afterglow Top Coat

I put this on top of the Sparitual Manicure and I put if over a white and dark polish too. It is glow in the dark!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and super quick drying (1 minute a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula is really good too. It is a nice golden glittery topper and glows well in the dark over lighter colours. As you can see from the last photo, it doesn't really glow so well over really dark colours. I think it looks good as a glitter topper and as a glowing polish. This lasted really well.

Models Own - Smash Up Orange

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat). The brush is medium sized and the formula is okay, it is sheer but cracks well. I think it looks much better on lighter colours and didn't work too well on the dark colour as you can see in the last photo.

Sparitual - Peace and Harmony

 

Again, this was waiting to be posted from October last year so these were my Hallowe'en nails! The last 2 photos are indeed Hallowe'en themed!

This is okay to use, not so good to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin, but good and the formula is rubbish (I wrote a swear word in my notes haha). It is very streaky and not good if you have ridges on your nails. Careful application and minimal brushstokes should help. Despite it being hard to apply, I did actually like this white.

Orly - Key Lime Twist

So my last post was Hallowe'en last year! Yikes.

The last 2 photos are the Hallowe'en nails, as these have been sitting waiting to be posted since October yikes! I used Barry M Nail Effect Purple Crackle and Dance Legend Top Prismatic, which is a holo topper.

This is okay to use, okay to apply and decent drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It is a mini bottle and the brush is small so have plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The 1st coat is prone to bald spots. On the 2nd coat minimise brushstrokes for a decent finish. It is bold and bright colour. Lasted really well.
