I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

China Glaze - Bells Will Be Blinging

This is the glitter I put on top of the last post.

This was slightly gloopy so I decided to use it before it dried up completely.

It is okay to use, okay to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat). Even though it is gloopy it went on well. The brush is good. It is a nice festive glitter and looks good on the red. I only swatched this.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is a mini but very good and make sure to have plenty polish on it for good coverage. The formula is good also. It is a lovely classic red. This lasted well and I put a glitter on top of it!

Last photo in the sunshine all others in artificial light.

This is a VERY old polish! I bought it second hand off eBay many years ago (early 2010s) and I think it is originally from the early 2000s.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slowish drying (7-8 minutes a coat). This brush is thin but good and the formula is really good. Despite being old and second hand it is still in very good condition. It is a gorgeous colour with a slight shimmer. This lasted really well.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). It is a mini bottle with a mini brush so have plenty polish on the brush for good coverage. The formula is really good. This is a gorgeous black textured polish. Lovely and lasted really well.
