Orly - Edgy

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). The brush is small but really good and the formula is really good. This is a nice sparkly shimmery polish, kinda made me think of the Festive Season for some reason! Lovely.

OPI - Hot & Spicy

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). This brush is medium sized and good and the formula goes on well too. This is a nice coral colour but I'm not really into corals so much. Not really my thing. Good quality though.

Jade - Vermelho Surreal

 

This first 3 photos in the sunshine and the last 3 are in artificial light.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is thin but good and the formula goes on really well. It is a amazing and strong red holographic polish. I love how it looks in the sun and in artificial light. This lasted really well.

Deborah Lippmann - Call Me Irresponsible

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). The brush is thin and okay. The fomula is sheer but goes on well and builds up nicely with 3 coats. I like the colour but it's not really a finish I like. This did last really well.

OPI - Significant Other Color

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good and the formula is good. This is a lovely iridescent polish with a gorgeous shimmer. This is lovely solo and I can imagine it being great as a topper too. This lasted really well.

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.

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.
